Re: Bill Parcells' Tendencies

Niners fan here, I posted a similar tendencies FanPost last year, but I had accidentally deleted it. As I was surfing this blog a couple of days ago, I noticed a Parcells' tendencies blog that did not include this information here so I decided to bring it to the attention of The Phinsider again. Hopefully I won't delete this again.

I noticed Bill Parcells had a Big-Ten Conference infatuation after the Cowboys signed Drew Henson in 2004, then I did my research to confirm what I had already knew.

1983 - Terry Kinard

1984 - Carl Banks (Michigan State)

1985 - George Adams

1986 - Eric Dorsey

1987 - Mark Ingram (Michigan State)

1988 - Eric Moore (Indiana)

1989 - Brian Williams (Minnesota)

1990 - Rodney Hampton

1991 - Not Affiliated with any team

1992 - Not Affiliated with any team

1993 - Drew Bledsoe

1994 - Willie McGinest

1995 - Ty Law (Michigan)

1996 - Terry Glenn (Ohio State)

1997 - James Farrior

1998 - Jets did not own a 1st round pick in 98'

1999 - Jets did not own a 1st round pick in 99'

2000 - Not Affiliated with any team

2001 - Not Affiliated with any team

2002 - Not Affiliated with any team

2003 - Terrance Newman

2004 - Cowboys did not own a 1st round pick in 04'

2005 - DeMarcus Ware, Marcus Spears

2006 - Bobby Carpenter (Ohio State)

2007 - Not Affiliated with any team

2008 - Jake Long (Michigan)

2009 - Vontae Davis (Illinois)

This list includes ALL Parcells' 1st round picks since the beginning in1983. If I counted correctly there are 19 1st round picks listed, 9 of the 19 are Big-Ten Alumni. That's 47% of the time Bill Parcells has stuck to the conference.

There are 3 Big Ten Players that I can imagine Parcells will be looking at, at the time draft rolls around. They are Novarro Bowman, Arrelious Benn, and Jared Odrick. Each of these players are from the Big-Ten and meet a need/want for your Miami team. Maybe something to consider when drawing up mock drafts of your own.

Best of Luck in the 2010 season, many people do not realize the injuries you had.. Dolphins Are My Wild Card Winner in 2010! (Sorry couldn't hand you the division)

IOW....Bill Parcells drafts

have run the gamut from QB to WR to LT to CB to ILB. Hard to come up with any tendency other than well, he doesn’t seem to have a tendency.

yup, you could come up though, with an extremely accurate

guess of what kind of players he drafts though. For example, he has never drafted a DE, NT or OLB less than 6’3"

Yeah...the injury bug did bite us hard in '09

Especially after a-seemingly-uneventful ’08.

Thanks supraman. Good post!

I don't think he'll do it First Round

but he will probably draft Benn if we don’t FA a WR

If Mini Anden and Percy Harvin had a kid, and that kid grew up to play Syracuse basketball….ragnarok.
