The Annual Adopt a Rookie Thread

Jumping the gun on this a little bit because i'm going to be out for the next several hours. Maybe one of my other mod friends can edit in the last 3 picks for me?

My favorite thread of the year. Most of you know how it works. Gotta pick only one of our rookies who's back you've got through thick and thin, through good times and bad, etc, etc.

Here's who we've got:

Frank Clark, Leo, Michigan
Tyler Lockett, WR/return man, K. State
Terry Poole, OL, San Diego St.
Mark Glowinski, G, West Virginia
Tye Smith, CB, Towson
Obum guachum, de, Oregon state
Kristjan sokoli, dt/og, buffalo
Ryan Murphy, s, Oregon state

I like Lockett.

I think this will be the majority favorite, but Im going with Tyler Lockett.

He can fill a few areas of need immediately

I'm going to go with Tyler Lockett too

My man Tye Smith

Years from now when Tye Smith is a Pro Bowler, I'll get asked "What were you doing when they drafted him?" and I'll have to say, "taking a crap". Seems like a good reason to root for him.

Tye Smith my 2015 adopt a rookie!

Mark Glowinski

Lockett for me, he is going to put some much needed life into several areas of this team. And he is without a doubt, an alien.

Glowinski . . . for sure. Solid all-around guard prospect, could start at left guard from Day One. I actually like him more than our first three picks:

Clark -- Freakish athleticism, but just a guy on film.
Lockett -- Small hands, short arms, thin frame makes him prone to injuries.
Poole -- Takes plays off, poor in pass protection, and gets very little push in run game.

Tye Smith is intriguing with good length and short shuttle time, but poor straight-line speed. We still have three more picks, so fingers crossed that we land another diamond in the rough.

Lockett, I really think that this guy will surprise people his first NFL game.

I'll probably pick one of the OL guys...just not sure which one yet.

I picked Lockett as my A-A-R this morning.

I'm taking obum on his name alone. From wr to de before his final college season. And he played in Oregon .

So, you picked him solely because he played for Oregon. :lol:

There is only one Oregon, OSU. :twisted:

Obuuuuuuuum

Nice, I'm the first to pick Sokoli

Dibs !!!

I'm going Nate Boyer. Don't expect him to make the team.. but how can you not root for this guy?

Mark Glowinski. I like Lockett as a returner but I see Glow doing more great things for our team overall. After watching his highlights I am surprised he was not more coveted in the draft. Size, great foot movement, strength, hard working and nasty.
