NFL Draft Thread

Not watching one bit of NCAA and not studying draft prospects, I do say that in all humility, but with the amount of "sure thing baller" 1st round busts, and surprise late rounds studs, I'm always a bit perplexed with the level of certitude some of you guys seem to have regarding these picks.

Once it settles down, the consensus on this board always seems to be "we'll only really know a few years down the road"...

CB in the first round makes sense, it's a need, weight is an interrogation but it's not like the guy was projected to be a 3 round pick either, "let's hope it pans out" is all I can come up with for now.


He is the clear cut starter day 1 opposite Fuller. Wont take more than a few games. Corners are pretty much different in that they are thrown in the fire right away, like a quarterback. They cant blend in, or hide until we find out what they are made of. He will be on an island. And he will be a rock star. Think Carlos Rogers but with hands made of pillows instead of stones.

Thanks Dallas!

Looks like poor Will Levis not going to make it the first round, unless somebody moves up from the 2nd round to the last couple picks.

I legitimately laughed at this one.

He was definitely not a big reach
The reasons he was a big reach is that there was a consensus steal at the same position. Additionally the consensus had Forbes ranked as the 4-5th ranked CB which means more likely than not he would have been available 10-20 picks lower. IMO that combined with passing on the consensus steal makes it a big reach.

That said reaches can work out and steals can flop but you're not playing the odds well if you are going for the reach.

We were 28th in INTs and play mostly zone. Forbes loves INTs and specializes in zone coverage. Based on who was available, I think he's a very solid pick.

Based on who was available????? Gonzalez was available so no he definitely was not a solid pick.

Man I hate that Philly has two this round. Fuckers.

They work at getting additional future picks we don't (nor do most of our fans want us too - it's all about now screw next year or any future years).
