Draft Day ****Official Round 1 Draft Thread***

[skinsscalper]

Before I crack open another diet cream soda, does anyone know if round 2 is tonight?

Tomorrow brother.

 

[Buzzbait]

We shall see.

Listening to the radio earlier today they said the word is Jaylon Smith is no mere mortal.

He's really progressed physically.

Stephen Jones was putting out the same at the pre-draft presser.

We shall see.

I hope you're right. It'd be great to see our Linebacking crew REALLY excel with talent!

You don't draft a "prototype" in the first round. You draft a "prototype" in the 4th round. They are projects. First round players should be pretty much ready to start.

I don’t think you understand what the word prototype means lol

 

[dfense]

The better LB

One year starter with injury concerns. Sound familiar?

 

[mardwin]

Good question, especially since Watt is playing 3-4 linebacker and we play a 4-3.

Watt could have been moved to the Sam or Will. He can play in space and rush the passer. Instead we invested a 1st round on a rotational player.

Panthers take WR: D.J. Moore....knew he would not last to us in the second but I really like this WR.

Hope we get a chance to get Anthony Miller in the second although I think they want Courtland Sutton

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I’m still hoping we go after Anthony Miller later in the draft

I'd be happy with that move.

He doesn't have injury concerns

 

[DHCBF66]

New England with a great pick.

Imagine that, Belechick drafting for a position of need!.....

You obviously don't understand the context of he word being used.

Saw someone mention it earlier but our defense played its best a couple years ago when Rolando was healthy. A bigger MLB. Hoping this guy can provide the same. Now let's trade for Thomas and shut down the middle of the field.

 

[glimmerman]

Trade back in.

 

[Sydla]

NO the fans didn't.

But those who rooted for a loss were ganged up on and took a ton of abuse for recognizing the obvious.

The funny part is even now they can’t admit that winning that game was useless.

That game cost us Edmunds or James. Simple as that.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

So did every mock last year with Taco and TJ Watt. Guess who's the better player?

There were many mocks with TJ in front or about the same area.

Some had him set up as a OLB in a 34 system

Stop it... same evaluators that had Brady behind every other QB? Or Romo undrafted?

And I'm sure mardwin was all over Brady and Romo back in the day.

Stop it, indeed.

 

[mardwin]

Bama players generally hit their ceiling in college because of their unmatched S&C program. They seem to just not get much better after getting drafted.

So sure Evans is a really good player now, but what you see now is what you better be ok with for the duration of his career.

The guy was a 1 yr starter... how can you say he reached his ceiling?

 

[Daillest88]

He doesn't have injury concerns

Is it confirmed it’s just a rumor??

 

[Miller]

Wow, Steve Smith says Carolina was never able to replace him until now with DJ

I have to commend you on your 20/20 hindsight.

For every Brady and Romo you can name, there are 100s the evaluators got right.
