Let's start with the boom -- Round 4 Oklahoma pickup Hector Peterson. This is a kid who came to play! Entering training camp as a hopeful backup FB, Peterson exploded on the scene (20/11). He is now the odds-on favorite to be starting for the team come the regular season and is also getting looks for reps as both a RB and a TE if needed.
The "as-expected" crowd includes WR Jeffrey Vachon (Rnd. 2, 17/1), RB Michael Cline (Rnd. 1, 3/0) and RG Stacey Page (Rnd. 5, 2/-1). Vachone and Cline are cemented into active duty. Page's future is far murkier and "as-expected" might not be good enough to land him a roster spot.
As for the busts...RT David Bischoff (Rnd. 7, 9/-6) and CB Paul Hare (Rnd. 6, 3/-9) both whiffed.
Robert Campbell 1st 10/6. 51/85 Rex Johnson 4th 2/-6. 34/61 Richard Munoz 5th 1/-4. 35/63
Drafted a QB to replace backup
Jimmie Smith 5th 14/-4. 52/65
Drafted a RG to become starter
Joseph Burkett 2nd 15/2. 48/84
Drafted a SLB to add depth
Eddie Noonkester 4th 6/-1. 49/68
Found a starting WR and RG plus SLB will probably make the team as depth/st player.
2 WRs and QB will be cut outright after preseason.
Filled 2 holes so Im happy, would have been ecstatic if either of the +95 speed WRs had boomed but they were gambles anyway. Hate to give up on 97 and 95 speed players but I doubt I can keep em
Daytona's strategy worked out better than expected! With 17 picks and one undrafted free agent, we had 12 booms and one bust. Only 2 players had a volatility of less than 80, so we expect those booms to continue to progress throughout the next few seasons.
Wr: Ray +1/-7, Herman +13/+8
Ol: Wooley +3/-4, McGowan 0/-26, Rock +9/+10, Chavers +11/+13, Daniel +9/+1
Pretty happy with the draft....the roster is loaded with aging veterans, so for the most part I just went with the best player available.
No terrible busts and pretty happy with my second round LT going +4. The first 3 picks should turn out to be viable starters....my wr and cb will be backups....didn't really need the punter (have a decent young punter), but stuck with best available.
