TSTocracy - Feb. 10th

by 3k on Feb 9, 2010 8:00 PM CST Comment 14 comments

Sgt. 3k checks mock drafts, big boards, updated scouting reports and archived video of 7th round prospects while his squad raids an insurgent stronghold in Iraq. All the insurgents got away, but 3k felt much more comfortable with his knowledge of weakside linebackers in the Sun Belt Conference; senior Army leadership are therefore calling the operation an overwhelming success.

It's a full-court press on the draft here at TST these days, and I for one love it. Few things make me happier than overanalyzing 7th round picks in my spare time. Still, I know that's not something most people care about. But what is?

I'm still working on my next mock draft, a 2-round expansion of the 1-round mock I dropped at the end of January. Until then, what's the most important discussion to you? Is it needs? Prospects? Statistical wizardry from Van? Weird prospect data from me (Have you heard about the hands on Carlton Mitchell, WR, S. Florida?)? Or are you getting burnt out on the draft already and you need some CBA or general Rams yakking to keep you going? Your civic duty as a Rams fan is to participate in this TSTocracy of ours...

I voted other and would enjoy talking about free agency. I think it is fitting to talk about the next thing on the NFL calendar. All of the draft talk should come; just let it come in time.

I also voted other

And think we should spend our time talking about how to invent a time machine so we can make the draft get here faster.

I would vote to compare all positions-

I would like to see-position by position-comparative stats for those players we already have (the starters) vs what we would replace them with from the draft + FA. There are some reality checks there that we skirt around, but it’s human nature to find that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Barron would be one of the first cases to tackle (no pun intended). Everyone has their ideas, but I wonder—put it to a spreadsheet type pluses and minuses and see how it would look.

Creole, brother.

Don’t hate.

You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.

Day 3 options

If you played only first and second round draft picks, you would have a roster ranging in age from 20 to 43, if you’re lucky. Most guys aren’t like Favre who’s going to be sacked so hard he turns straight into dust one day. I’d like to know the guys who are going to be the glue to hold the stars together.

THIS year's the year. I hope....
