[Hardline]

Spencer Rattler seems to have fell off the face of the earth.

 

[RS12]

Thx Risen. The QB class looks like the leftovers at the bar at 2AM.

Let’s hope Philly and Washington try to get drunk

 

[KingintheNorth]

7, 8, and 10 are pricing themselves out of our range.

Just came back from watching Lloyd in person. That kid moves and when he closes, he closes. Not to Micah's level, but still.

 

[SportsGuru80]

I'll tell you one thing, I wouldn't mind drafting me a linebacker again in the 1st round....

Sure need one.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Sure need one.

Yes because LVE is gone I believe...

 

[Risen Star]

Yes because LVE is gone I believe...

Well I'm all about BPA but if need is breaking a tie, LB wouldn't be high on my needs list in the 1st round. I believe in Jabril Cox and Micah is of course the messiah. Teams just don't play with 3 LBs enough to maximize the investment.

Unless you plan on making Micah a pass rusher half of the time. Then maybe it makes sense.

Good point...

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I can see Kyren Williams being an Austin Eckler type of player for someone.

 

[Plankton]

I can see Kyren Williams being an Austin Eckler type of player for someone.

He's going to be a real solid player. Very quick feet and deceptively strong. Also plays with a chip on his shoulder.

 

[Plankton]

I said it before, and I'll say it again. This draft is looking a lot like 2009 and 2013. Non-existent QB class, very few impactful defensive tackles, and not a lot of overall depth. If anything, this would be the class to either move way up and prioritize quality over quantity or bail out for a larger haul next year.

I don’t entirely agree. This draft is loaded with quality OT and CB prospects. Some quality WR and Edge/DE prospects too.

The QB class doesn’t have a bonafide blue chip guy but there are a few interesting prospects (Pickett, Corral, Ridder).
