The Fins entered the 5th with two picks.Pick 161: TE John Nalbone, Monmouth. Man does Parcells love his tight ends. And who knew Monmouth was a real place? Nalbone is a big fella at 6'4, 255 pounds. Mike Mayock described him as a bit of a 'tweener. Not a great blocker and not a great pass catcher. But he has terrific speed and uses his size and athleticism to his advantage (I totally just sounded like Mayock there!). We now have exactly 5,875 tight ends on our roster. Here's hoping that Nalbone makes the cut. Because his name has him tailor made for FN dick jokes. And at the end of the day, that's what truly matters. Maybe.
Pick 165 (from Indianapolis): S Chris Clemons from Clemson. Not sure about this pick in the fifth round. 6-feet, 208 pounds, Clemons has decent speed, is well built and had a productive career at Clemson. But nothing much stands out about him. More than that, his teammate and fellow safety Michael Hamlin is projected as a better prospect. But the Fins went with Clemons instead. Hamlin was picked right after him by the Cowboys.
All in all, a weird second day so far. The Turner pick was solid. After that, it feels like the Fins have been reaching for the last few guys. But I've been logged on Twitter and diddling with my balls all day, so what the hell do I know.
