Matt Ryan Tutor Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Since losing our fifth round next year I went back and looked at 2008 through 2014 drafts to see how we did when picking in the fifth round and we have not hit on anything noteworthy picks, just look at these names that we selected, most were projects but still this list is amazing in the worst way, 2008 Draft5 3 138 Robert James Linebacker Arizona State 5 19 154 Kroy Biermann Defensive End Montana2009 Draft5 2 138 William Middleton Cornerback Furman 5 20 156 Garrett Reynolds Offensive Tackle North Carolina2010 Draft5 4 135 Dominique Franks Cornerback Oklahoma 5 34 165 Kerry Meier Wide Receiver Kansas2011 Draft5 14 145 Jacquizz Rodgers Running Back Oregon State2012 Draft5 23 158 Bradie Ewing Fullback Wisconsin 5 29 164 Jonathan Massaquoi Linebacker Troy2013 Draft5 20 153 Stansly Maponga Defensive End TCU2014 Draft5 7 147 Ricardo Allen Cornerback Purdue 5 28 168 Marquis Spruill Linebacker Syracuse- Some interesting things to note out of 12 players selected in the 5th round just 4 remain with the team today. - The ratio of offense picks vs defensive picks were: 8 picks to Defense, and 4 picks for Offense. - The positions selected as follows: LB - 3, DE - 2, CB - 3, OT/G - 1, WR - 1, RB - 1, FB - 1.- Players of Note: Kroy, Rogers, and that's it no other players as of right now have made much of an impact on the team. - Moving forward TD needs to work on this round more to find players who can at least develop into something more than an one year stint.

PrimitiveJN Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Well Thank Goddell he'll have a break to practice in next year's fifth round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lornoth Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 It's actually a lot better than people give credit for. Kroy and Quizz have both produced admirably for 5'th rounders. Reynolds was horrible but he looked like he could be a decent backup at OT in Detroit last year. Ewing and Mass had great upside, it just never happened for obvious reasons. Map has shown flashes and people are high on Allen and Spruill both. Franks was always decent depth at CB, just not as a return man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D#x3 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 A couple of depth players, whoopee. Late round picks are supposed to fill out depth, not be off the team/out of the league in a season or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningThePiszOuttaTheBall Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Kroy Bierman -- and I am no big huge fan of his by any stretch -- was a fantastic 5th round pick. A 5th rounder is lucky to make the roster. Kroy actually played above average for years.(Smitty still should not have started him all of last year. And the flashy red contacts were irritating while we kept losing game after game because of awful defense. But all of that doesn't change the point).Quizz was a great 5th round pick too.Still, I agree overall, we should have gotten more out of our 5th rounders.

Halsey. Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I told someone on a different mb right after that Draft that the DB from Furman was a wasted pick. They didn't believe me and argued his case. That's one more argument on my trophy case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanadonis Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 You guys are really going to talk about fifth rounders ? Scared of the 2016 draft already lol.

clownorg Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Might as well have TD drop a ton of names in a hat and pick one out in the 5th round.Couldn't be any worse right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDogg1215 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Curious what other teams success rate at 5th rounders . I'm sure our GM is ranked at our near the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freebird310 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yea, those guys were not bad picks for 5th rounders actually...I hated the Allen pick though, hope he proves me wrong....man, what if meier and Ewing were not made of glass they could have been real gems for TD....I think Ish is turning out to be his best gem maybe.....Edit - oh yea, and Bosher was an emerald....
