The official 2018 nfl draft thread

[mhughes0021]

Blount and Abdullah are both FA at the end of the year....why would planning for the future be ?the dumbest thing you?ve ever seen?.

You?re in rare hypocritical mode during the draft aren?t you.....it?s like Hughes? period.

trade up and throw picks away for the future when your team right now is probably 3rd best in the division and has holes everywhere...ok.

 

[tonyballs]

Plenty of talent on the board.

You should become a GM then.

 

[tomdalton22]

Trenton Thompson or Holton hill please

I can't believe Hill hasn't been drafted yet

 

[boogerlovejoy]

He's pissed because he's not getting his way. He's the kid that takes his ball and goes home after his buddy just owned him on the court lol.

I just remember MONTHS of whining about how stupid the front office was for not having a plan when Suh/Fairley left.

Then we grab a back because our top 2 will be FA and it?s also not the right pick......

Thee worst running game in the NFL for yrs. YEARS!!!! Trying to fix everything in one draft isn't happening. Fixing your atrocious running game was a major priority.

We might actually see a back go over 100 yards in a game since Reggie Bush

pissed cause we accomplished little to nothing this draft.

Rd1 strengthened a position we already addressed this off-season. Not sure how much better he is than what we already had.

Rd2 traded up for the 7th best back in the draft. His skill set has nothing the other backs on our roster don t already have. Wasted a pick to move up.

Rd3 collective "who" rang out... then when we were done being dumbfounded... we realized we just used a 3rd rd pick on a 3rd string safety that most teams projected in rd5.

Rd 4 traded up for hand. Lost a 3rd next year. 3-4 de that will be great at setting the edge but won't ever sniff the qb.

You're nuts, man. You didn't know? He's the backup to our backups!! He's a 5th-6th string RB!!! Maybe worse lol

You can't run the ball when your defense cant stop the pass. Defense will be lit up this year.

Again, this is why you know squat about football. You don't have a job in the NFL. You're not a scout, a GM, a coach or have anything to do with the sport. And it's not just you. It's ALL of us. WE know nothing but according to the articles that I have read, our top 3 picks will play immediately. You're a whiny bitch and it's all you fkn do. These kids haven't even stepped on the field and you're bashing lol.

Maybe. We got some guys coming back on D. We also pickep up players during FA on defense. Offense on paper looks special and they'll be able to do whatever the fuck they want if everything falls into place...

Umm they've been on the field... that's why there are scouts. Johnson 7th ranked rb...fact. safety was a reach based on projection.... fact. Will he even play over wilson? Ragnow was mocked to us a bunch.... in rd 3. Rose late for some reason... probably cause he's right next to 2 no namers on some pff scorecard.

Liked 2 picks. Hand which is basically dline depth but losing a 3rd next year kills it a bit. Crosby... just awesome value.

Bingo! Key word - scouts. Something you know nothing about.
Jonson was the 7th ranked RB? So what? We acquired a stud
Safety was a reach? So what? Our secondary is terrible except for Slay. Walker is a ballhawking DB who doesn't shy away from contact. We could possibly see him move to CB. Quin is old anyways.
Ragnow in the 3rd?? Lmao...ok. Elite interior OL prospect that improves our OLine.

Good picks!!!

bottom line... they placed running the ball ahead of getting to the qb. I think that's retarded... sorry... you'll never change my mind.

Te edge still huge holes. Cb2 cb3 still need to be improved.

 

[food4thought]

This draft, from beginning to end, was obviously all about improving the run game. C, RB, OT, FB. Hand and Walker the only two defensive picks, so we have some work to do in the free agent market to fill some holes.

It doesn't matter whether any of us like these picks or not, what matters is what happens on the field, and we'll see how things go during the next few years. Until then, I choose to remain neutral.

I don't give 2 fucks about changing your mind, man. They obviously didn't see any D players worth it in the 1st or 2nd. Every board is different and they weren't reaching ...

Gotta remember, they went out and already picked up a slew of players on the defensive side of the ball during the FA period. Speaks volumes on why they went heavier on the offensive side of the ball during the draft. There will be another FA period coming up as well...
