Trolling: ****Official Draft Day Thread****

[manster4ever]

He looks like a crack head. Skinny as hell.

correct. Along with Devin Funchess of MIchigan, the most overrated guy in the draft.

 

[Dwight]

Yes, the Pats don't value the defensive backfield...oh, except for the enormous amount of resources they spent on it last season.

I never said that so you are assuming. But the Pats agree with me. They got the better player in my opinion.

 

[Szczepanik]

Am I the only one who thinks the Pats would of drafted Jones instead of us had he been available?

You all also seem to forget the rumors of us being interested in Brockers from STL.

Seriously people...

 

[Deep_South]

He said CB and not Safety ?

Yep, he was talking about replacing Mo if he doesn't come back.

 

[Doc50]

Who cares who your corners are when your dline is trash. Did you watch the Packers game last year? Because it will be the same thing as last year for the 2015 season.

Horrible pick.

You're discounting the injuries we had in the DL, the addition of Hardy, the development of D-Law and our young depth. It's doubtful that Brown would have started over any of our current DL.

OTOH, Mo and Carr will both be gone after this year, and Jones has the flex and smarts to play anywhere back there, including the FS that we've been missing for several years.

 

[Deep_South]

He said CB and not Safety ?

Sorry, I just remembered Jerry mentioned that signing Jones might allow us to do "something special" at safety, but it wasn't clear to me what he was talking about.

 

[sweetness0986]

We needed help with CB so I'm fine with the pick. The thought of Carr playing catch up/causing defensive PI out of helplessness all year makes me cringe, so I'll take any help we can get. The draft is not over, there will be other defensive fronts we can add in later rounds.

Was really hoping for Gordon but just too many RB needs.

So he didn't really say they could live without a CB?

No, he said they could live without a RB or DL in this draft, but they needed a CB.

The pick makes sense and was good value.

I liked Brown, too, but it's not like Jones was an illogical reach at 27.

I am not discounting those injuries. That is kind of my point. You can't count on them. Injury prone and frankly, not that good.

You could have gotten a solid DL player and gotten a guy that is not that big of a drop off in DB later on.

Don't get this pick at all. Especially a guy coming off shoulder surgery. Those tend to linger.

Byron Jones starts day 1. Brown does not.

Yep, pretty sure they wanted Jones as well. Seems like we have similar holes.

When Dallas goes against the Packers and Pats they will understand what you are saying. Just give it time.

Lets hope they address the dline this weekend but some how I doubt it.

How so? Did they have a choice between Jones or Brown or did I miss something?

 

[ElGatoGrande]

So does Martin. I couldn't count how many people hated that pick last year (including myself).

No surprise there,,,

 

[Plankton]

Byron Jones starts day 1. Brown does not.

I think Brown could start over Nick Hayden without much of a problem.

I don't hate the Jones pick. He's a hell of an athlete, and can play a couple of positions. He also needs a lot of technique work, and is a little grabby in coverage down the field. Brown could play all three downs as a 1T and an inside rusher on pass downs. I believe the lineman is a better use of resources when comparing the two, IMO.

 

[Floatyworm]

ha.....PATS get BROWN!!!!!!!!!!

let the meltdown commence

Yup.........

2 beers in....shot of crown....followed by 7&7

There has got to be a song in there somewhere.......

 

[TrailBlazer]

Solid pick. I'm behind it.
