1st round - No QB. Win now mode.

2nd round - Jaylon Smith. It's not a damn debate.

Eh, I am going to need to know what somebody like Dr Andrews thinks about a full recovery first. You know it will come to him or Robert "I was only taking the fall for my friends" Nkemdiche.

 

[Risen Star]

Any chance you could recap that? Or is it already on the forum somewhere?

He ran slower than hoped and didn't look fluid in drills or receiving the ball as compared to others. Just not a good day.

 

[RS12]

Don't even get me started on stupid names parents give kids now-a-days.

Isnt every kid named Tiffany or Tyler now?

Is the draft not the greatest? So many variables at play. So much to consider. You look like a genius one pick and a moron the next.

I see you are getting excited. I know, it happens every year.

This is the one time I get excited and I think I enjoy it more than the games sometimes.

It is the one time it is intriguing to hope and imagine what can be. It is the time to feel free to dream.

Then you see what the teams do with the players and it makes no sense.

And that's just how Jerry likes it!

That's what makes it so great when the hack commissioner makes his first walk to the podium. You know the stars of tomorrow are in these drafts and everyone has a relatively equal chance to land them. It's team changing when you do.

That feeling only lasts maybe two rounds around here though.

LOL!

Or some whacked out name that would have gotten you beaten-up when I was a kid.

How did Dalvin Cook look?

 

[texbumthelife]

I don't give two ***** if he never plays again, I am willing to use one of my 4th round comp picks on Jaylon Smith on the off chance he does regain form. If nothing else, he can keep Lee company in the trainers room.

 

[KingintheNorth]

How did Dalvin Cook look?

Pretty good. He turned in some math homework. He gave a speech in his communications class. Just a normal day at Florida State, where he is still a student.

Brutal.

But well done for a very uninformed question.

HAHAHA you got me! Well played!

Well, at least you are a good sport.

Usually that kind of burn requires taking a week off and an avatar change hoping someone forgets the gaffe.

Not worried about it. It happens. Lord knows I have called out enough people on here. I can take my medicine. It was a good burn.

When my editor calls me out for stupid ****, THEN I feel heat.

The scary thing is Nkemdiche is really in play for the Cowboys. Their kind of risk on a big talent and it's a position of need. I could easily see him being that first round grade they have available at 34.

Rim Shot...lol!

 

[mattjames2010]

Except Richardson was beaten down before he even got to the NFL. The Randle and Jones analogies are silly.

I just don't think he's a guarantee to be a big time NFL player. I honestly think he's a guy who could find himself beaten and worn down long before he gets to 10,000 yards in the NFL.

I also am one that thinks you don't necessarily need to use a first or second round pick on a TB to get a top notch running game.

This would only matter if Henry was a workhorse for 3 straight years. He wasn't. Henry had one year of abnormally high amount of carries, this is not unheard of in college football and many successful RBs had high amount of carries in multiple years before entering the NFL.

 

[tyke1doe]

No. It's not. And it's close enough that it could have easily been adjusted to beat the record in the official time.

No. 4.24 and 4.29 aren't close.

With Gregory's suspension I doubt it. We'll probably revert back to high character guys for a year or two before going back to taking chances on high risk players that drop.

Seems to be a pattern ever since the issues with Irvin and others caused us to pass on Moss. Go high character for a few years and then take a chance on guys like Antonio Bryant and Ross. When that backfired we went back to boys scouts for a few years.

Rinse, repeat. We're now back to high character.

Not true
Some (Jerry) have mastered the art of looking like a moron on every pick

 

[visionary]

I cannot recall any great player ever named Jalen or Jaylon.

Just food for thought.

That's because they're all in this draft
