2017 NFL Draft Discussion

[Kaleb]

While I think he has a high ceiling I still dont get why Hooker is mocked so high, considering he's missed the combine and will miss (or has missed) his Pro day,scouts are basically judging him on just 1 season of college football.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I haven't been paying attention at all lately, but I take it this is a really bad year for QBs?

 

[Boom]

The Bengals just signed Kevin Minter, so I'm not sure they go linebacker in the first round. They desperately need a defensive end, so I figure they'll take the BPA at that position.

They also brought Joe Mixon in for a visit, which has sparked quite a debate among the fanbase.

I dont think its as bad as what they making it out to be, personally Id rather wait till next yr.

I could still see them taking a LB, Minter is only on a 1yr deal.

 

[Hush]

I hope the Rams draft more bad o line men

Mitch Trubisky.....if they do draft him, wouldn't that be the 50th starting QB they've had since they returned in 1999?

yeah but this time they will finally have their franchise QB

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

If the Jets take a TE and the Browns take another QB they should both immediately be contracted.

 

[Warhammer]

If I am D. Watson, I am praying to God I go to literally any of the 31 teams not called the Browns.

The mock draft had him going to Arizona, which could be good for him. He could learn from Carson Palmer for a year.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

yeah I think Watson is at a slightly lower level where he goes past the first 10-12 picks and lands safely on some team that isn't a total abomination and who could actually develop him into something.

 

[STARMAN]

If the Jets draft for need. It means replacing their entire football team.

 

[raisethe3]

Exactly what I predicted for Seattle. Draft a long CB. Next step, DT or FS.

 

[Kaleb]

I remember Kevin King getting torched on a regular basis during the senior bowl practice sessions,but he looked good during the combine,looked really smooth during the drills.

they just hung a big NFL Draft banner on City Hall here. Can see it right outside my window here at the office.

 

[Kaleb]

I thought Bridgewater originally but yeah I see the McNabb comparisons

.

 

[killface]

That short range of McNabb to Losman is unsettling if you're a GM

 

[The Big G]

Exactly what I predicted for Seattle. Draft a long CB. Next step, DT or FS.

Pete and John really ought to draft some linemen.

As for the Soon to be Las Vegas Raiders...

I expect them to go DB or LB.

 

[Warhammer]

I need Pittsburgh to draft a QB bad. The one good thing about Big Ben doing that childish bulls*** is it seemingly made the organization realize that they need a successor.

 

[Kaleb]

So far the Steelers have had a private meeting with Josh Dobbs (Tennessee)met twice with Patrick Mahomes and Davis Webb (at combine and a private meeting)and also worked out Nathan Peterman.

 

[Kaleb]

Thought this was fairly interesting,and should bring up debate whether Dalvin Cook is a 1st rd pick or not.

These are the group of rb's with the similar 3 cone drill results as Cook , and the rd they were drafted in
.


..and these are the results of rb's drafted in the 1st round and their 3 cone results.

.

Lots of people seem to be mocking Thomas to the 49ers. As a fan i'm not so sure (but then I live in Australia, so only have the internet to go on). I think that I would like them to get either an offensive lineman, a pass catching tight end or a cornerback.
