Day 1 Draft Thread

Just heard that Faulk was a 30 day visitor, where it hasn't been reported. Probably a player they kept their interest quiet until it came out recently. Wonder if Lawrence came in as well.

I expected it. They are all in on getting a run stopping 3-4 DE. Too bad he hasn't shown much pass rush ability.

If he plays 3-4 DE, that is a very important position in the scheme. All about occupying multiple blockers to allow the linebackers to play clean.

yeah i can see this being the reason they are talking themselves into drafting him.

 

[Proof]

The market for Pickens is significantly smaller than most fans...there is a reason we got him for a 3rd.

probably, but he didnt have a year like he just had on the books yet.

Even now...insiders have reported we have received zero calls on him.

insiders report what they heard or were told
does not mean it was accurate.
equally possible the Jones boys let it be known to a few other GMs what they wanted for Pickens and no one bit

oh, not disagreeing with that part, just that getting him for a third speaks to it.

45 MINS!

Come on Jerry, go get that injury prone WR at 12 and then reach for LB Rodriguez or CB Johnson at 20.

I don't think Rodriquez is much of a reach at 20 now. Combine answered all athletic questions. His instincts are impeccable. Where are the major weaknesses in his game?

 

[unionjack8]

Come on Jerry, make it a great night PLEASE

 

[Risen Star]

I'm starting to get the vibe it's Mendoza to the Raiders with the first pick.

45 MINS!

So with the new time limits for the 1st round picks and factoring in TV commercials, where Dallas falls and not doing the math, we will have to wait till 8:35 to see who Dallas takes at 12?

[Hardline]

I don't care how the top 11 goes except I absolutely don't want the Giants to draft Jeramyah Love.

Jeff darlington mentions trading up for a WR, that's pure and dumbness
