2018 Weekend Draft Chatter Thread

FUCKING GAY

 

[GShock]

How horrifically did NC State underperform this year?

Lotta guys getting picked.

 

[SfielDallas]

I feel better about the pick with most hating it.

 

[P_T]

He looks like a "violent" player.

 

[NoDak]

I wonder if our coaching staff would consider using him as a rush LBer in long yardage? Our regular passrush Dline with him lined up at LBer. He looked pretty explosive rushing from the LB spot from all over in this video. Might be a nice wrinkle. I wonder if he has any coverage skills, where he could drop in the passing lanes so it's just not obvious he's rushing the passer when he's on the field.

The Tampa-2 will occasionally employ the “elephant” LB position where a hybrid LB/DE will line up in between their spots as a pass rusher, so I guess it’s possible.

Eagles get Sweat of course. We get someone no one has ever fucking heard of.

 

[NoDak]

FWIW, this guy is only 20 years old and Dane Brugler had him rated as a 3rd rounder.


Guess he must have heard of him...

 

[Couchcoach]

We've already let Senat and Shepard get away. Gonna do the same with Settle and Futakasi?

 

[BipolarFuk]

Yup, everyone saying Eagles got a steal in Sweat.

We got someone from Kansas.

Mini rant alert: David Newberry and David Moore on the Ticket are talking like the Cowboys are the draft masters. I've said myself that we draft just fine lately, but they're acting like everything we do is golden. Moore even made the excuse on not taking a TE that they hadn't scouted TEs much since they expected Witten to be here, so they didn't know that much about them, so not taking one is just sticking to their process which has worked so well lately. Huh?

Just can't really accept this idea that well, Stephen and Will wanted to do this so it must be right. Listening to them, you'd think we'd won more than two playoff games in 22 years.

Mayock is irritating me. Every fucking time a guy is picked, he blurts out “He’s a really good football player”. Just shut up.

 

[Couchcoach]

Garrett and the boys must feel better about Gathers than I thought. Only reason I can come up with for not moving around for a TE.
Just a thought

 

[Plan9Misfit]

Fuck. Carolina just traded up. Please don’t grab Hurst.

I do agree that they shouldn't panic and take a TE if they aren't prepared to do so.

However, there's really no excuse for them to not be prepared.

 

[Couchcoach]

^^ If they take a DT it will be a big body
IMO

Seems like that might be the best fit.
