NFL 2017 - NFL Draft

[drd23]

Davis Webb being your best pick and Beathard not being the worst pick of the day just completely invalidates your opinion about the entire draft

 

[RedmanWasHere]

My top 5 guys still to be selected:
1. Forrest Lamp
2. Obi Melifonwu
3. Davis Webb
4. Joe Mixon
5. Zay Jones

My new favourite Gridiron name is Forrest Lamp.

Top 5 guys who should be around very late
1. QB Chad Kelly, Ole Miss
2. WR Ryan Switzer, North Carolina
3. QB Seth Rusell, Baylor
4. DB Fish Smithson, Kansas
5. LB Ben Boulware, Clemson

Kelly wont get picked.

I like Boulware as a 7th round pick for the right system.

Drafts ive liked.

San fransisco. First 3 picks To me was an A+..but they lose a point because the trade up for that qb I think was unwarranted...his highlights show he has low arm strength. ...A

Dallas A. Got a top 5 pass rusher, a top 5 corner and a good nickel corner. With limited trade currency available I think they did a great job of improving defense.

Cleveland A. They get the A because of how good garrett is. Can't underestimate they got the best player in the draft...also got a stud tight end and solid "deone buchanen" type defensive back. I also dont mind the kizer pick at 52...he has talent and using a late 2nd isn't reaching.

Saints A. Some string improvements in secondary, bolstered the o line and got a future running back in the middle of the 3rd. Their top pick was amazing value.

Chargers B+. The chargers have built a good young defense, but it was time to get some bite back in the offense. Picked up the best wide receiver in the draft, as well as the best two interior lineman in the draft to shore up the guard spot...which is a big win for Phillip rivers and Melvin Gordon. They need to find a safety, but I think will find a decent one in the 4th. Desmond king?

Colts A. Probably can't give them an A+ as they still have a hole in protecting their most important asset...need to find some 4th round value on the O line. But still to get malik hooker at 15 is huge value, Quincy wilson is one of the best corners in the draft too..and i like the pass rusher they took basham

The Vikings are having a Clayton draft. No picks day 1, one trade up and two trades down on day 2. I like Cook and Elflein but you won't be drafting starters on day 3.

Kelly wont get picked.

Yes there's a good chance Kelly won't get picked, but either way (picked or UDFA) he has massive star potential for me. If it wasn't for his acl injury and some off-field troubles (much much less than some highly picked players - he's never been accused of rape, or being a domestic abuser, or failed drug tests). Kelly has a fantastic arm and great athleticism, obviously very boom-or-bust, but I think that if given the chances the sky's the limit.

I don't think you know how bad Golladay is...wouldn't make my top 30 WRs, and he was taken as the 12th WR. Very bad route runner, won't really be able to contribute until he develops into a serviceable player, which will be too late and he'll be cut. Chad Hansen and Dede Westbrook are still available and they have far and away better production, skills, and potential.

No but he got into a fight at his little brothers High school game.

I dont see him ever playing a live snap outside of the preseason, will make a practice squad this year but dont think he will make a preseason roster next year.

That fight was next to nothing, I'm sure half the players drafted so far have done stuff worse than that, but Kelly beats beaten over the head for it because QBs are supposed to be classy and stuff (apart from Crab legs Winston). Looking at talent alone Kelly has massive potential.

I could see the Pats or GB taking him because he is the kind of player a team with a QB guru can turn into future draft picks from a trade, but will be a failure for the team who trades for him

Jerry Jones reacting to Atlanta trading up. (I think he wanted McKinley)

 

[GreyCrow]

I thought the Redskins did well. Drafted for need. Apparently first time since 2007 Washington picked 3 defenders and 1st time since 1997 they used the first 3 rounds to draft them.

2 Alabama boys so the hope is working together there and at Washington is seamless. Dr Moreau looks ok. Had some injuries but his form line looks solid. Lets hope they are around for a long time

 

[UpTheTigs]

I dont rate him that much. his biggest plays were because the D lost him or over loaded against the run and left a huge hole. He wont get that freedom in then NFL without getting murdered over the middle by a S

Universally touted as a Top 10 pick, and the clear cut #1 TE prospect in his class. Many scouts suggested he is the cleanest player in the draft both physically and mentally. He'll have plenty of freedom in the NFL because defenses will be focused on Mike Evans, DeSean Jackson and Doug Martin first.

How can you rate 2 TEs that haven't even been picked yet over Howard?

Yeah because the scouts are always right.

He will be a ok TE but i said in 5 Years the others will be better and have better carers in the NFL.

and i rate players by what i think they will become. and every year there are players that get a hype boost based on what college/system they came out of. Moving from a extremely run heavy O will impact a TE more than a WR because of the extra defenders in the middle.

Some things wont change, he will still have a QB who will miss throws to him when he is wide open.

Jake Butt will be the best TE of the class IMO but will not play next season cause he blew his knee out.

The last 2 years have been great for the TE class coming through and plenty of talent at the position.

Could well be the case

I really think Leggett will be a steal too

Him a Leggett are my 2 fav TE's this year. Leggett needs to develop a bit more but shows me he could be a star.

Butt would of been the first TE taken if not for the knee.

I would take either to groom under Witten and both are excellent blockers which is worth its weight in gold at TE.

This is where the GMen stuffed it up cause Engram is the worst blocker of the class and with that current Giants OLine he is doomed when the sacks come and the whole NFC East drafted pass rushers in the 1st rd bar the Gmen!

Im wondering if the Packers will look at Butt. i dont think the first pick tomorrow will be used on him, but if he is still there end of R4 i would love the risk. or take Leggett with our 2nd pick late in R5. either of them with Bennett would be gold. Dallas would be scary with Butt replacing Witten.

O.J Howard has had zero hype other than what he deserves. The only knock on him in almost all scouting reports is that Alabama rarely used him to his full potential.

Sounds like somebody is just a Winston hater...

I am hoping for him but we also need WR depth and another pass rusher.

The late draft picks are the best to watch on draft day and we also have no 5th pick so hopefully Scandrick gets traded to get us back in.

Yeah day 3 is always like that, thats why i skip it most of the time. the speed the picks go at on day 3 its not worth watching on TV you miss most of them while they talk about one person all the time.
