#05-Haddonfield-HB-Kenny Proctor

Hard to know how well Proctor will fare with his Hodgkins 
disease and Downs Syndrome (ha ha ha just kidding, 
George). Definitely the best choice at HB in this draft, though. 
With the right blocking schemes, he should be okay, although 
he has real trouble following blockers. Hopefully this won't be 
a pick George looks back on with sadness.

#09-Haddonfield-LB-Kenny Arnold

Picked right where predicted. This guy will terrorize offenses 
for a long time. A definite upgrade for George, but perhaps 
not his greatest need for the #9 pick.

#17-Haddonfield-DL-Cary Carlson

A real stinker. The Pumpkins are willing to trade off Strength 
for Speed in their defensive line, but Carleson was a fourth-
rounder. His mediocre Agility will limit his rushing effectiveness 
on passing downs, and his stupidty will limit his tackling 
effectiveness on running plays. A definte candidate for worst 
pick of the draft. He probably looked good in camp competing 
against George's weak OL, but in the season to come, he will 
be treated like Ryan Leaf at Pumpkin Stadium. 

#21-Haddonfield-LB-Tim Greenleaf

Hard to argue with this pick. Greenleaf is the complete 
package. Once again, George forgoes Strength for Speed, but 
this time it's a good trade. His linebacking went from sub-par 
to very good with these two picks.

#33-Haddonfield-OL-Vic Salisbury

Much-need strength in the OL. Not a replacement for Vince 
Tabron, but a good player. He went right where the AMIR 
predicted, and to a team that needed him. Solid.

#41-Haddonfield-CB-Paul Fullington

This was too early to start taking on projects. Fullington 
needs a pair of improvements in Discipline and Intelligence to 
be left alone on an enemy wideout. Until then, he'll react 
quickly to receivers - tackling them after the catch.

#54-Haddonfield-WR-Don Hellestrae

Two rounds early for Don. This pick competes with Cary 
Carlson as worst of the draft.  With Flagler and Treem already 
on the roster, this lumbering package of great skills will only 
be seen near the goal line. There was plenty of talent left at 
this pick.

#57-Haddonfield-TE-Don Fluke

A great pick. Not that he'll ever play except on special teams, 
but he's a nice problem for defensive coaches. Too bad his 
hands are so bad.

#65-Haddonfield-QB-Roger Fear

IMPACT says he's the steal of the draft (#23).  He's got a 1/3 
chance of improving his Strength at the end of the season, 
plus another 1/10 chance if he's on the List of Ten. Until then, 
he's just a scrap from the draft. You'd think someone like Greg 
Clark would  have been a nice role-playing pick here.

OVERALL:
George upgraded his linebacking with his early picks, but that 
wasn't his area of greatest need. OL only brought him one 
player, Salisbury, and that is the last area he needs to 
improve before winning a championship. There's a lot of scrap 
in this draft for the Pumpkins, but they are so strong they can 
afford to take some wild ones late.

GRADE: B -
