Recommended Posts

The draft will start today at 1:00 in the field house and will be broadcast live at lamarcardinals.com. Ill provide the link here when it becomes available.

 

A couple details about the draft are:

 

- graduate assistants Marcus Carver and Brett Ramsey will be the two head coaches picking the teams

 

- 2 honorary coaches will be Dan Hooks and Charlie Woodard

 

- They will only show the first 12 rounds or so and the rest of the two teams will be picked behind closed doors.

 

- Last year Kyle Gilliam was the 1st overall selection.

 

 

Stay here during the draft to discuss the picks as they come in!!

This will be a good way to get a handle on a depth chart. I wish it were different coaches though, I don't know how qualified each of the GA's will be to pick even teams.

It's the same format as last year and the teams were fine. I'm sure the coaching staff is divided up and helping behind closed doors to make the picks, with the GA's the head coaches.

Damn CA that's kind of a harsh comment. As much as I usually respect your opinions on here I'm gonna have to question this one. I don't think the qualification of the GAs as head coaches should really matter here this is just really all fun and game for the coaches from what I saw last year. Either way I think know matter how they choose the teams will be even.

It's not a criticism of the GA's at all actually.

 

All I am saying is that who do you think has been paying more attention to the talent on the team, the GA's or the DC/OC Position coaches?

 

For Lamar football's sake we better hope that it's the Coaches, since at the end of the day they're the ones who decide to play in real games.

 

So it actually has nothing to do with the GA's abilities at all. Misinterpretation of what I'm saying.

A few draft notes:

 

Injured Players:

 

Anthony Beard

Jesse Sparks

Patrick Carlton

Jordan Edwards

Taylor Davis

 

 

LU will have roster out with numbers and team by Monday

 

6 of first 8 picks were D linemen

 

Kyle Gilliam was 1st overall pick again this year by White team

 

First QB taken was Ryan Mossakowski in round 9 by White Team. Jeremy Johnson taken by Red and Caleb Berry will rotate so theyll all get equal reps

 

First RB taken was DePauldrick Garrett in Round 10 by the White team

 

Chris Maikranz will deep snap for both teams and Kollin Kahler will punt for both teams.

 

There will be no hitting the QB's, the will not rush punts but kickoffs will be live.

 

Quote from Woodard:

 

"We've had a great Spring and got a lot accomplished. I'm really looking forward to Tuesdays game."

I was doing homework and forgot to check in until now. Not surprised that linemen were the first picks again this year. Since we run the 3-4 I'm sure there is a scarce amount of talent that can perform that system well.

Obviously you have never been a GA or have known one. They do just as much if not more with the players as the coachs do. They coach positions and they watch just as much film as the coachs do. So I would say they are just fine to be the head coachs of a spring game. They know what players are going to play in the fall and who can or can't play. They sit in on every staff meeting, every position meeting, every special teams meeting, defensive team meeting and offensive team meeting. These guys know who can play and who can't and who will help this team get to the next level.

I think I know what your thinking, but its not the same person.

 

Or I could be totally misinterpreting this post.

I know it's a different person. That's probably even more annoying that two people were overly sensitive about an otherwise fair statement.

Davion Wolford made the transition to WR from DB last year.

 

 

Who is Marcus Washington?

 

Also Scotty Utterback looks huge.

Quite a few players are not on the Enterprise list of players drafted. Can anyone elaborate? I don't see Anthony Beard but i think their are probably as many as 15-20 players not listed.

I beleive there are six or seven that are injuried. Also, if there are an odd number of players at a certain postition then the odd players are not drafted. Instead they will play for both teams. For example Mossakowski and JJ were drafted so Caleb Berry will play for both teams.
