Finally watched Wreck-It Ralph last night. Not sure where all the Oscar buzz came from as it seemed pretty average for a kid's movie. I appreciated the video game references, but it just dragged on in many places.

Yeah, it's starts out kind of promising. But then it moves from being about Ralph to being all about the girl. And the comedy is just so-so.

When you find yourself drunk alone on a Tuesday night, surrounded by half empty pizza boxes, unpaid bills, Ikea furniture, and a revolver with only one bullet in it, just remember not to shoot yourself anywhere that would show up in a pair of gator boots.

NFL-Gaf Mock Draft 2013

1. Chiefs - Luke Joeckel - T - Texas A&M

2. Jaguars - Eric Fisher - T - Central Michigan

3. Raiders - Star Lotulelei - DT - University of Utah

With the #3 selection in the 2013 Mock NFLGAF draft the glorious Oakland Raiders select; Star Lotulelei, defensive tackle University of Utah.

The Raiders are in complete rebuild mode, no more of this nonsense "reload" of the Al Davis era of just overpaying washed up vets. Only 4 starters return from last year's dismal defense, the Raiders need to address their run defense which has been pathetic the last decade.

Star Lotulelei is similar to a player we should've picked in the 2006 NFL draft in Haloti Ngata. Star is not as dominant as Ngata but still commands double team blocks against the run. Star isn't going to get you flashy sack numbers but he'll allow your LBs to make plays. Teams are built in the trenches, Raiders now possess two stout young defensive linemen in Star and Lamar Houston. With the addition of Vance Walker through FA, the Raiders now possess a formidable run stopping defensive line.

Dee Miliner CB Alabama

The Eagles have already taken big strides to improve their biggest weakness last year. The Eagles have a ton of holes to fill, but Dee is the best player available that fills one of those holes. Even though Dee doesn't posses the return skills of a Deion Sanders, he is unquestionably the best CB in this draft.

I'm pretty sure Star Loulouloulouteitei wont get picked above Sherriff Floyd come the real draft.

Also, fuck the Eagles.

DT is a high risk low reward kinda thing. I guess the last DT that has actually made an impact was Suh, but everyone else seem to have been role players. Floyd is young, but he only has 1 year under his belt as a DT, he was a DE before being converted to DT. That being said he only had 4.5 sacks at Florida.

Wow going fast. Think the medicals on Lotulelei will keep him from getting drafted ahead of Floyd, but he seems more scheme diverse and will be a better run stuffer. Floyd was compared to a non-crazy Suh. Not sure what the comparable will be to Lotulelei.

Lions are up. Sucks for them here, but if that was really the way it went down, they'd be getting inquires on moving down for those that loved Floyd

Lions pick #5: DE Ziggy Anash

Worst case scenario here, but the lions will be selecting DE Ziggy Anash from BYU here. With the loss of Backus, Detroit would have loved to fill the role with a franchise player like Fischer, but not the case here. The coaching staff reportedly loves Anash after the senior bowl and he'll fit into Mayhew's bpa strategy. He may be raw, but his ceiling is very high and can hopefully become a JPP type player with those skills. Again, worst case scenario, but it'll have to do

Squicken is right, Detroit would probably try and move down in this case, but whatevs. I did consult the rest of Lions Gaf and our first 3 targets got taken, so we took option 4!

Lotulelei is comparable to that other Tongan that plays DT, Ngata. Ngata was more dominate at Oregon than Star, but Star is a good piece to build around. I'm assuming he was throwing PVCs on his EKG which can be serious but they're saying its from dehydration, which is possible. I just want a big boy in the middle taking up two blockers. I'm sure Ray knows that Ngata extended his career.

I really haven't watched much of him since he'll never be around for STL. I just know of Floyd b/c of the larger program and he's such an obvious 3 technique. If Ngata is his comparable then that is pretty damn good. If his medicals are clean then it seems like it's more of a fit issue then. Raiders will be interesting to watch b/c they can go so many ways

Well I have to leave for work now, idk if the batman is gonna be back soon I know he gets off at 10 so idk if you'll wait for him or if Wes talked to him. Not gonna write alot cause I have to get going and I trust Wes, but my pick is Dion Jordan at this point.
Edit: I only have a joke 4 hour shift so if we're still on the clock when i get off I'll add more

Well the safe assumption is that the Raiders will trade down to acquire more picks. They're really hoping for a 2nd rounder and stay within the top 10, but I'll settle for another 3rd pick. Team has so many holes that they just need young blood to build around. I do think that the Raiders will build in the trenches in the first round D or O line. If they trade down I can see them grabbing Chance Warmack (Is he really that much of an idiot?) or BPA on the D line. Star's biggest flag aside from his heart issue was that he gave up on football when he was younger.

Blu Ray is nice. It will be a decade before 4k is affordable. They barely have 4k movie projectors and most special effects are probably still rendered at 2k.

The sound is also superior or identical if you have a good sound system.

That's the thing about all the pre-draft stuff. The most important things to find out are smarts, medicals, and desire/effort. As fans we just have to guess. I mean Warmack could be a Mensa member and teams are just dumping on him hoping he slips. Like when Vontae Davis was on Hard Knocks, without ever seeing that, I would have never known he wasn't that bright.

So I can just by what I read, and the two guys with the yellow flags on smarts are Patterson and Warmack. It's not that Warmack can't play guard, it's just thought he could never handle center, unlike Cooper

For the sake of keeping things moving..

NFL-Gaf Mock Draft 2013

1. Chiefs - Luke Joeckel - T - Texas A&M

ZootedGranny said:
That said, right now I expect the pick to be Luke Joeckel. While the Chiefs are also going to work out Lane Johnson and Eric Fisher, Joeckel seems to be the consensus best LT in the draft. He would immediately start at right tackle, and should slide over to LT to fill Albert's spot in 2014. Are these mock draft entries usually full of venom and vitriol towards the expected pick? Because that's all I have left.

2. Jaguars - Eric Fisher - T - Central Michigan

Tamanon said:
Jags #2 Pick!

Jags have a LOT of holes to fill, and the top 10 is a real crapshoot with who will be the most impactful.

They plan on building the offense around a renewed MJD, preparing to give him a big contract to get him to spend the rest of his career here. That means they need to shore up their offensive line. Since Joeckel is taken, they will pick Eric Fisher from Central Michigan. His specialty is pushing people back, and that's all MJD needs to really use his skills. Defensive Tackles are too hit-and-miss, but O-line are generally stable.
