VOTE NOW, VOTES TALLIED SOON!

On to the 31st-37th positions of our DBN Big Board! I will need to re-do the survey once it fills up with 100 votes, so please remember to only vote once.

&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Your browser does not support iframes.&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

Feel free to give scouting reports, tell people what this Big Board should look like, and talk about what your criteria are in the comments. Also, if there is someone who you would like to see included in the list of candidates, let me know.

The 36th player on this board will represent what we collectively think would be the worst case scenario for our 1st second round pick.

For this round of votes, you will choose 7 players. This is to speed up the process so our board is 50 players deep by next weekend.

Glad you’re enjoying it. Sometimes I want to take total control over the board, though.

I find it funny that Ayers is not in the top whatever, because I think the Browns really like him

i think its wrong that Barwin is 30th when he is a monster

Has he been in for a workout/interview?

by rufio on Apr 18, 2009 4:36 PM EDT up reply actions

I’m pretty sure

Unrelated to Ayers, but addressed to you in particular:

How do you like William Moore? NFL talent? NFL ready? Good kid?

by rufio on Apr 19, 2009 7:11 PM EDT up reply actions

NFL size and speed. The rest for me is a problem though. Moore was often caught out of position, and Mizzou’s defensive backs got torched all season. What’s hard for me to say for certain is whether the corners were such a liability that it made Moore look worse, but even taking that into consideration, I would have expected some more big plays. He is a very strong tackler, though

I think if Moore didn’t have such a poor season in pass coverage, he’d be considered in the top 20 as the only really talented safety in the draft because of his measurables. Good kid though, no problem with the intangibles
