***Day Three Draft Thread***

[Plankton]

Who are our D-linemen at the moment?

1) Gregory, 2) Lawrence, 3) Tapper, 4) Collins, 5) Irving, 6) Thornton, 7) T. Crawford, 8) J. Crawford, 9) Russell, 10) Mayowa...

Is T. McClain still on the team? That'll make it 11. Not sure if I see him making the final roster. Am I missing anyone?

Remember - they can carry two more than you would think, because they don't have to account for Gregory and Lawrence's roster spots until Week 5.

Tapper ran 4.59 at the combine? Heard that in the radio. Faster than Laquan Treadwell.

48-0 as a high school wrestler.

Really? So he and Collins were both wrestlers in High School? Guess Rod likes guys that can grapple in spandex.

I feel better about Tapper than Blair.

I can honestly say I don't know a lot about either player, except for the highlight vids on YouTube!

 

[StarBoyz83]

Late to the party but I really like the tapper pick.

 

[Daillest88]

yeah guys I'm really loving this picl!

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Everyone is happy with the pick of Tapper?...what?? I'm not saying anything is wrong with the pick, I'm just surprised everyone is finally happy

I'm happy. Bye-bye Kyle Wilber....

Billings must really suck and that knee injury must be bad for teams to keep passing him up. At what point is it finally okay to take him? 5th round? 6th?

NE does the same thing. Green Bay has done it in the past. Develop these QBs, and then flip fem or a draft pick in a few years.

This sounds popular but who has really flipped a qb for draft picks higher than when the qb was drafted? All you do is add in controversy when you have 2 young qbs on the roster.

True. I can see 11 making the final roster. Cutting it down to 9 in Week 5.

Wrestlers often have good balance, and do a good job with hand fighting.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Is there anybody good enough (besides Billings) for us to flip Leary for a pick right here?

 

[Avery]

At some point we can't carry any more DL without it being a waste of a draft pick. I think we are done at DL.

Agreed - I don't see where the roster positions are going to come from.

They are saying it is simply cause he is a run stuffer! One way player......period!

Probably so, but I'd feel better adding more competition in either Blair or Judon.

To me, you can upgrade players like Jack Crawford.

Yea we still have McClain. And u are missing mcadoo and Whaley.

True or False:

Keller Moore > all remaining QB draft prospects.

Yeah, Jerry is supposed to have a priority of getting a backup to Tony, and I'm not seeing the remaining quarterbacks coming out of training camp doing that job. Maybe he's going to go after Foles.

 

[Avery]

I'd rather keep Leary at this point honestly.

 

[Tristan]

I wouldn't be mad at Cardale Jones.

Would love Jones!
The way I see it is if we draft him then we liked him, if not then we didnt, seems simple but to the eye hes looks like a 1 overral pick, so knowbody really knows with this guy but sky is the limit IMO

What about offering Leary for Mike Glennon from TB? Any chance they go for that, or am I crazy?

 

[StarHead69]

Yes .....

All we have left is a 6th rounder and comp picks which cannot be traded.
Not possible to move today unless we are trading players or future picks... So forget it.
