2023 NFL Draft Weekend Thread

Wish we could trade draft picks w Seattle.

I like the second pick but don?t think the midget cornerback will hold up in the nfl.
Dude is tiny. Man he hits though.

PFF blurbs

Gibbs

Pick Grade:Below Average
Gibbs is the second-ranked running back on the PFF big board, but he is also just the 34th-ranked prospect. Viewed as a potential late first-round pick, this is a big reach with the 12th overall pick. He can make an impact in the passing game, though, as he hauled in 103 passes for 1,215 receiving yards over the past three seasons.


Campbell

Pick Grade:Below Average
Campbell is the top linebacker on the PFF big board but was just 39th overall. It?s not a good value pick, but he produced a 91.9 PFF grade, which led all linebackers. At 6-foot-5 and 249 pounds, he has impressive size and NFL-caliber range.

We need to trade up for Kincaid to make this the most lions draft in nfl history.

The special team kick/punt return battle should be exciting after week 6 between Jamo and Gibbs.

Good pick for Vikings. Reminds me of Emmanuel Sanders.

Don?t they have defensive issue too ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Now Banks is a good pick.

Ya... but they signed Byron Murphy and Marcus davenport in FA.

 

[biggunsbob]

I guess other teams reach. Thought he would be there later too .

Defense against the run pick

Dallas picks Smith from Michigan. Seems a few slots early.

Expect the unexpected with holmes. He never goes chalk. He likes high impact guys that can change the game on 1 play or high character guys.

If Campbell starts over AA... that's a win and worth 18.

But that is why you triple down on defense. Vikings have really
Good receivers.

 

[manchild98]

Do they still have 4 families left in the green room?

Top 2 offenses played I'm the super bowl last year. They had the 8th and 16th ranked defenses.

You don't need elite defense. We had one of the worst defense in the history of the NFL and still won 9 games. We just need a middle of the pack defense and look out.

 

[manchild98]

Get this skit shit off of the stage.

 

[manchild98]

Philly takes 2 Georgia players.

Top remaining needs for Lions:

[LKP]

DT Benton, Branch, Hooker or Porter Jr. Get one of them at 34

Avila or Torrence or Mayer options too

Its not a great looking draft as far as value goes so far.... but this could be a very productive draft. Swift probably gets moved. Hopefully for a 5th.

A RB who's the number two at best and a LB that could have been had in round 3. Yippee.

I think they're both picked high as well, but I like both players and Brad said both were BPA on their board. I've seen Campbell mocked as high as first round and as low as early 3rd. All depends on the pov i think.

My only knocks on Campbell are that he went to Iowa and only runs a 4.65 40. Aside from that, his other drills were top of the LB class, even those measuring quickness. He's also the best pass defending LB in the draft. Could be a huge win for us.
