NFL Draft Thread 2017

hollllyyyyy BOUNTY 1st round next year and 3rd this year to go from 27 to 10

You know... with all this potential defensive talent on the board at 21, do you think anyone would give us a 2018 first and 2017 second rounder to jump back into the first round?

Problem with trading up, you are more than likely going to get bent over the barrel.

So many good defensive players should be available when we pick.... I'm so excited

foster
lattimore
allen
hooker
humphrey
reddick
barnett
davis
....all on the board

Maybe, and I hope someone does!

 

[masterscorpio77]

Yikes! Oh my.

 

[Monster]

Wow. This guy should be a 3rd round pick.

 

[inkfreq]

I did not see Mahomes here.

Trading for future picks is highly underrated. I know we need the help now, but I'd move any (and every) pick for a future pick one round up.

Say what?

I'm glad we arent the chiefs !! Now are you guys who are a little sour on Stafford happy we at least have a quality qb !

 

[Monster]

Well, fuck...looks like Cleveland might get Watson, too.

 

[masterscorpio77]

I'm not against trading back either, especially if we could amass some extra picks.

The way it is shaping up, there could be lots od quality Defensive picks in the second round.

 

[Mitchrapp]

At least he goes to a team with a good defense.

Mahomes was a late round draft pick of the Tigers in 2014.

They already did. His name is RGIII, and it didn't work out so well.

Quick check:

Despite the run on offense (with 10 picks still to go before we get a chance), how many players are off the board that were actually expected to last to 21? A lot of these guys seem over drafted (Maholmes for sure), but a lot of mocks were predicting 3 QBs by 21. A lot of them were predicting Davis and Ross off the board. If we see a run on defenders in the next 10 picks, not sure we'll actually have the bevy of options it seems right now.

NO rumors was to grab a cb at 32.....now they have a chance to take the best cb in the draft at 11 lol. Theyll go cb or DE.

RG3 gets a lot of shit, but those early injuries destroyed him. Besides, two different games.

i didnt see many mocks with 3 qbs off the board before 21. There will be more offense players selected before 21. Howard, cook and watson atleast! Were in a good spot.

It's true. That first season, playing him on a busted up leg in the playoffs was just horrible to do to him.

But I see the same career trajectory for Watson. Not the injuries, but lots of hype and little production. I don't like any of these QBs in the first.
