Silver Lining "Draft-isms"

[filthymcnasty08]

I always love the sugar coating that goes on from fans, media, coaches and FO during the draft.  As we know, the reality is that the majority of these picks will not pan out, but that never stops those invested with a "glass half full" outlook.  Thought it would be fun to put it to the board for some comic relief.

 

Some of mine are:

 

"They're going to line him up all over the formation"

"He played this position in college, but can play every position"

"Although he was a late rounder, xxx had him with a 1st round grade"

 

Have fun...

"An absolute steal at XX.  Some teams were not high on him, but he can absolutely play and contribute at the next level."

 

"Love this pick. X player brings a toughness and edge to the defense."

 

Anything that refers to a player's physical tools despite their performance.

 

Anything that refers to a player's instincts making up for a lack of their physical tools.
