For your entertainment.

One "D" out of 31 picks. Can you guess who got it. lol
Just one opinion, but interesting nevertheless.
btw, the L needs to be removed after Prisco...or jsyt keep it there for (Loser):D

1 A-
LAR.png
Rams select: Jared Goff, QB, California
They made the move up to get the passer, and they got the right one.

2 B-
PHI.png
Eagles select: Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State
I love the move up to get the passer, but I don't like Wentz as much as others.

3 A
SD.png
Chargers select: Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State
This kid is a better player than people think. Love this pick for the Chargers.

4 D
DAL.png
Cowboys select: Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State
Good player. Too high. Other needs. Bad pick. He's a back.

5 A
JAC.png
Jaguars select: Jalen Ramsey, CB, Florida State
They got lucky to get one of the players they loved. He will play corner for them.

6 B
BAL.png
Ravens select: Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame
Good player, but he needs to be tougher. It fills a need, but he isn't a good run blocker.

7 A+
SF.png
49ers select: DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon
This is a great pick. Cleanest, best down player in this draft, Love this pick for the 49ers.

8 C
TEN.png
Titans select: Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State
He's a good player, but this is high. He's a lot like Taylor Lewan, who they already have.

9 B-
CHI.png
Bears select: Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia
They think he will be a great pass rusher, but I think he's more like Jamie Collins, just not as good. Aggressive move, but makes sense.

10 C
NYG.png
Giants select: Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State
They have corners, so why not a linebacker? Why not Darron Lee?

11 B
TB.png
Buccaneers select: Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida
Solid, solid pick. Good player who starts right away.

12 A
NO.png
Saints select: Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville
He is a "baby Aaron Donald." They need push inside and he is that type of player.

13 A
MIA.png
Dolphins select: Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss
Look, he's a hell of a player. This is a steal. Ja'Wuan James must go inside to

Lol at Rams getting an A- and Titans getting a C... OK bro

Yeah, they probably should facto in what the gave up and/or got for the pick too.

For the Titans original 1st rd pick this year, they got
Jack Conklin,
2016 2nd
2016 3rd
2017 1st
minus 2017 3rd

Let's see what he says at the end of the year when Zeke has 1600 yards

Prisco exaggerated for sure.

But Zeke could be ROY and many minds wouldn't be changed.

The argument would be that the 4th overall pick is worth basically two mid 1st rounders (and a ton could have been done with that asset) and that they could find a RB later that could still get almost the same yards. lol
And that after one contract of heavy use, a RB is basically done anyway.

But better to be positive and let it all play out at this point, imo.

He's not necessarily wrong.

Hard to give a D grade to a player that is a really good player but the underlying point of his grade isn't necessarily wrong. We didn't need to take a TB at 4 to have a great running game.

Bingo.

FWIW folks. FWIW

Just a note.
Another CBS writer (Dane Brugler) posted his 5 best and worst picks in round 1....
Dallas was one of his 5 BEST

It's just opinions

Why do we care what talking heads say? Maybe we should invite the entire world to tell us what they think too. Their opinion is about as relevant.

Yea, Prisco is way off-base & definitely in the minority.
The dude is just bitter.

No he's with the school of thought that no RB is worthy of a 4th overall pick. Accurate assessment.

I don't buy it. Who would tell you what they are picking? And why would the Ravens need a RB? They have far more pressing issues. I think the Ravens wanted Ramsey. Either Jerrah is lying or the Ravens thought the Cowboys were going to pick Ramsey and lied to them and said it would be Zeke.

Meanwhile Casserly on NFL network was gushing about our pick saying OROY!! Greatest move of the day he said.

A real GM.
