[Randolphkeys]

@Stark said he was done, so I'm jumping in...

At the top of the 4th round, The Washington Racists select...

Mike Davis

In 2014, was 18 yards shy of becoming second in school history with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. Suffered through nagging injuries for much of the year and did not start in the season opener against Texas A&M. Had career-high 183 yards and 3 touchdowns against Kentucky. Named second-team All-SEC in 2013 finishing with 1,183 yards rushing (fourth most in school history). Had seven games with 100-plus yards rushing. In 2012, saw action late in the year after gruesome knee injury to then-starter Marcus Lattimore. Was U.S. Army All-American in high school. Younger brother of former Clemson running back James Davis.

**Recently knocked his 40 time down to 4.38 during Pro Day

Strengths
Compact frame with plus balance as a runner. Keeps feet moving in traffic and can pinball from defender to defender. Uses spin move effectively to avoid the hit and keep running. Will duck head and accelerate behind his pads with force to finish his runs. Downhill runner near the end zone with adequate push to grind out the extra half yard needed. Creates separation to the perimeter with quality stiff arm and showed surprising top-end speed to hit the long run in 2013. Gets adequate separation out of backfield and can convert the catch into a first down. Capable in pass protection with understanding of protections.

Weaknesses
Has some hip tightness, which limits his lateral movement. Won't make defender miss with wiggle or juke, and struggles to create when his track is closed. Will duck his head prematurely heading into hole at times, and briefly loses his vision and feel for the hole, often running into the backs of blockers. Showed substantially more juice as a runner in 2013. Conditioning looked off and he was sluggish to the perimeter and through the line of scrimmage in 2014. Relatively ineffective toward end of the year. The 2014 tape shows energy lacking for Davis compared to 2013.

NFL Comparison
Alfred Morris

Seriously, that's what his NFL Draft Profile says. Alfred Morris. What a perfect backup to the real Alfred Morris now that Helu left in free agency.

With the 101st pick in the 2015 RCF NFL Mock Draft,

the New England Patriots select....

Alex Carter, CB, Stanford

​

• 6'0" HEIGHT
• 32 1/8" ARM LENGTH
• 196 LBS. WEIGHT
• 9 1/8" HANDS

OVERVIEW
Selected honorable mention All-Pac-12 three times (2012-2014). Played through a torn labrum during 2014 season. Was a U.S. Army and Parade All-American out of Briar Woods High School (Va.). Selected first-team All-State as a defensive back and kick returner. His father, Tom, played at Notre Dame and was the 17th selection of the 1993 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins. Tom finished with 27 career interceptions. Younger sister, Cameron, suffered from Type I diabetes and passed away in her sleep at the age of 14.

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS
Good size for a cornerback. Aggressive effort to redirect receivers off the line. Shows patience from press coverage and doesn't open hips too quickly. Physical tackler willing to step downhill, shed the block and throw his body into a tackle. Quick to plant and drive on throws and tries to maul receiver at point of catch in order to disrupt. Plays with limited wasted motion. Has above-average spatial awareness in zone coverage, maintaining good position on the receiver. Adequate instincts and feel for the game. Matched up against NFL-caliber receivers during three-year stint at Stanford.

WEAKNESSES
Struggles to mirror and match in man coverage against more sophisticated routes. Sluggish responding to inside release, offering up instant separation. Lacks fluidity in hips and feet for quick recovery. Long strider missing ability to hit top speed quickly. Appears to lack some confidence in deep coverage. Opens hips earlier than necessary on intermediate routes in preparing to run with speedy receivers. Can be a head-dropper as a perimeter tackler, losing sight of his target. Must improve awareness with back to the ball.

NFL COMPARISON
David Amerson

BOTTOM LINE
Physical cornerback who's at his best when he's able to see the play develop in front of him rather than having to lock down a target as a man-to-man cover corner. Carter's ability to tackle and play the ball in space should interest zone defenses, but a transition to safety might make sense if he can carry a bit more weight.

My Take:
The Pats now have addressed the trenches (to a degree) as well as the skill positions. It's time for the Pats to bolster their secondary.

@Cluegiver and the Raiders are up.

 

[Sly]

 

[Walter White]

I got Chase Daniels and Aaron Murray on the block if anyone is interested.

 

[Randolphkeys]

Will @Cluegiver finally make a pick for himself? The anticipation is palpable!

 

[ajz20]

Since I may not be on much this weekend, probably best someone else take the Browns in round 4

I already got us A QB, Edge Pass Rusher, and Solid WR
someone else take us home if that is okay Keys

Only if we frame it that Haslam fired you as GM mid-draft. That way it's more believable.

Can we frame Haslam and sell the team mid-draft instead?

 

[Sly]

Gotta go to work.

A. Grasu
or
Z. Smith

 

[Randolphkeys]

@Cluegiver has abdicated the position. @Soda finish the Raiders draft, please.
