So several things have been brought up on how Snead drafts. The same questions always come up, how important are workouts and private meetings and how much does he weigh the Senior Bowl and Shrine game. Somebody on TST did the homework for us. Here are the draft picks from the last two years, the time frame without Fisher where we think and feel Snead was finally given the reins.
2017 NFL Draft:
Gerald Everett - senior, Senior Bowl attendee
Cooper Kupp - senior, Senior Bowl attendee
John Johnson - senior, Senior Bowl attendee
Josh Reynolds - senior, Senior Bowl attendee
Samson Ebukam - senior
Tanzel Smart - senior, Senior Bowl attendee
Sam Rogers - senior, Senior Bowl attendee
Ejuan Price - senior
2018 NFL Draft:
Joe Noteboom - senior, Senior Bowl attendee
Brian Allen - senior
John Franklin-Myers - senior
Micah Kiser - senior, Senior Bowl attendee, visited
Ogbonnia Okoronkwo - senior, Senior Bowl attendee, visited
John Kelly - junior
Jamil Demby - senior, Senior Bowl attendee, visited
Sebastian Joseph-Day - senior
Trevon Young - senior
Travin Howard - senior
Justin Lawler - senior, visited
Notice a couple trends? Every pick but Kelly was a senior. Second trend? Nine of nineteen were Senior Bowl attendees. We don't have the visit tracker in this from 2017 but I'm sure some Sherlock Holmes can and wants to go back and dig that up but last year I seem to remember most all of those guys coming in for a visit or we worked them out on campus.
I think we can list four criteria for Snead to think somebody is a viable pick.
1) Senior
2) Senior Bowl
3) Workout
4) Need (or percieved 2nd year need)
So with these idea's and info out there we have a little over a week to redo mocks or change direction. Have fun!
