All-American OL on the board and we take a nobody DE that doesn't sack the QB lol
Quote:He was considered a top player at one point, not sure what happened. I rememeber seeing his name
High on mocks
Looks like he had a down year this year but was great in 2015
Hope he works out
Lol, jerrard, is gene smith in the war room
I'm gonna trust Coughlin and not freak out. Still have 4 picks in a deep draft.
Could have had smoot in the 8th round
Rimmington award winner for the best Center in the country from a perennial power house program, and we take a DE that doesn't get sacks. Basically a warm body on the DL when we have glaring needs on the OL. Terrible

<p class=""><a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/Illini?src=hash'>#Illini</a> DE Dawuane Smoot registered highest max velocity of all DEs at padded practices (20.2 mph and 19.4 mph) <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/CatapultSports'>@CatapultSports</a> <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/RosterWatch'>@RosterWatch</a>

<p class="">Thats good to see
The Vikings 2nd and 3rd are what i would have called for a decent 1st and 2nd pick a few weeks ago.
Illinois. Or maybe wrath of (Tony) Khan? "Analytics" help make the pick?
...then Elflein goes just after.

We're set at center. Linder's not moving.
any chance we trade back into the 3rd and snag one of these gems still available?
Not going to flip out, it was an odd pick though with who was left on the board. Hm. Don't we have a ton of linemen here already defensively? Just odd.
Ugh. Just, ugh. This was a terrible reach. Basically we had no backup for Calais Campbell so we reached for a guy we could have got in the 5th round
The point is Smoot. We lost Alualu and needed a guy behind Calais.

Elflein was a guard his first two years. Him winning that award at center after sliding into that position in his third year is a testament to his versatility. Would have loved to have him at guard for us
meh, at least it wasn't a kicker.
Looking at it, Feeney and Elflein aren't true maulers. That's what we need. Siragusa and Asiata in the 4th.
Seem to remember yannicks production was questioned last year. Hopefully this guy balls out.
