2013 NFL Draft Chatter Thread--25-27 Apr

[Smitty]

Pet cat.

Yeah. I like the player. Would have considered him an "A" second rounder.

Just feel like this was early.

 

[Carl]

Outsmarted ourselves yet again.

 

[Clff15701]

Not gonna lie right now I'd be happy with the best center after this cluster.

 

[boozeman]

I like the player, but not in the first round.

I am just stunned we felt we needed to take him.

And THIS is what we get in a massive trade down?

 

[ravidubey]

CBS has him ranked 53rd

 

[NoDak]

Frederick is an incredible reach.

Meh. He went higher than I expected but I wouldn't exactly call it an incredible reach. I've seen him in mocks in the high 2nd.

 

[Cotton]

Frederick is an incredible reach.

It is ridiculous. Infuriating.

 

[VA Cowboy]

TV draft coverage is crap. They're about 2-3 picks behind.

 

[Smitty]

Follow this up with another strong OL pick somewhere and I'll be very happy. Schwenke or Barrett Jones or something.

 

[fortsbest]

I've seen him early 3rd.

 

[Deuce]

I like the player, but not in the first round.

I am just stunned we felt we needed to take him.

And THIS is what we get in a massive trade down?

I love this a billion times more than had we took Long like the Bears did. He's the #1 C and probably #4 OG. No complaints here.

 

[Tony D]

Bitching just to bitch. Wouldn't be a draft thread without it.

This guys our starting center from day 1.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Meh. He went higher than I expected but I wouldn't exactly call it an incredible reach. I've seen him in mocks in the high 2nd.

He isn't any more of a reach then Long and Pugh were in the first and I prefer Fredrick to both of them.

I would have preferred Warford but at least we got a new starting interior O-lineman. Funny thing is a long time ago Jerry talked about how he wanted a center/guard to add to the roster. I guess we got our guy.

 

[VA Cowboy]

We bitch and bitch and bitch about needing OL and how both C and G are huge needs and we got a top flight guy with a nasty streak. Elite prospect? No, but there was only one of those. But damn good player.

Value should mean something. But hey, maybe we'll nab a decent 3rd rounder in the 2nd.

 

[data]

The Fan saying a scout said that Frederick is better than DeCastro, Konz and Zeigler from last year. On the flipside, other scouts said Frederick is a bad athlete and a 3rd round value.

 

[Smitty]

I like the player, but not in the first round.

I am just stunned we felt we needed to take him.

And THIS is what we get in a massive trade down?

We were caught unprepared. Jerry caught with his pants down again.

It helps me sleep at night thinking that this could be a street fighter. At the end of the first round, that's not the end of the world. I've seen these tough underrated OLs go at this spot at the end of the first round before and it works out.

It could be worse.

 

[Deuce]

Yeah. I like the player. Would have considered him an "A" second rounder.

Just feel like this was early.

With only 18 first round grades, getting an "A" 2nd rounder at 31 is a win.

 

[fortsbest]

So we got 47 and 74 in the 2nd tomorrow. We'll see

 

[boozeman]

Who doesn't know who Fredrick is? He is the best center in this draft and a legit guard prospect as well.

I know him.

I also know that NO TEAM IN THE NFL was going to trade up to take him.

This is an absolutely terrible choice in terms of value.

I couldn't have made a worse pick for them.

 

[UncleMilti]

It is ridiculous. Infuriating.

Definitely not an impact player for the first round.
