The Annual PatsFans Draft Contest, 2017


Alas, neither Fish Smithson nor Weston Steelhammer made it onto the list of 250 prospects she was working off of. Worthy contenders both.

I like to think of the fish smith wielding his mighty steelhammer to forge a fish.

Steelhammer and Fish are two guys I actually like and think they might be pretty good.

Steelhammer can lay the wood and get his hands on some balls

Starting in 38 career games, Steelhammer racked up 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 18 interceptions and 31 passes defended.

Fish might go higher than some think bc you could put him at nickel.



Ironhead Gallon LB Georgia Southern

Younghoe Koo K from Georgia Southern

Mike Tyson CB Cincinnati

Edgar Allen Poe WR ARMY

Lyndon Johnson DL Louisville

Upon further review, I'm thinking perhaps we should come up with an award for the coolest prospect name in each draft class. Maybe call it the "Shockmain Daivs Trophy"?
 


Obi Melifonwu should be on everyone's list and will be on mine.

I have him as a 2nd but after the 1st who knows. If he falls into the 40's etc a trade up is very possible.
 
1. Obi Melifonwu, S, UConn
2. Dawaune Smoot, DE, Illinois
3. Fred Ross, WR, Mississippi State
4. D'Onta Foreman, RB, Texas
5. Delano Hill, S, Michigan
6. Raekwon McMillan, LB, Ohio State
7. Jerod Evans, QB, Virginia Tech
 
Eric Saubert, TE, Drake
George Kittle, TE, Iowa
Cole Croston, G, Iowa
Shaquill Griffin, CB, UCF
Samson Ebukam, LB, Eastern Washington
Jonathon Ford, S, Auburn
Isaac Asiata, G, BYU
 
Sidney Jones CB
Derek Rivers DE
DeMarcus Walker DE
Julie'n Davenport OT
Samson Ebukam LB
Harvey Langi LB
Desmond King CB/S
 
Mmm

Trey Hendrickson - DE
Carl Lawson - DE
Duawane Smoot - DE
Obi Melifonwu - S
Raekwon McMillan - LB
Corn Elder - CB (just came across him. Looks like a Patriot to me)
Michael Roberts - TE
 
So, the Bills declined to match and Gillislee is now a Patriot.

Damn!

Now I have to swap out the three RBs on my mock for some other position!
 
Let's see if I can get 1 correct this year
Vince Biegel, LB, Wisconsin
Jarron Jones, DT, Norte Dame
Ryan Anderson, DE, Alabama
Roderick Johnson, OT, Florida State
Tees Tabor, CB, Florida
Rayshawn Jenkins, S, Maimi
DeMarcus Walker, DE, Florida State
