2015 NFL Draft Chatter Thread 4/30-5/2

Randy Gregory...fellow Husker. My dong is raw.

I think Dallas is using a "short board" again that is prioritized.

This has been one of my complaints about the Cowboys in general. We just don't seem to rank all that many players. Even at the start of the draft our board just isn't very big and it seems like we don't rank some really talented players at all. The guys we have drafted in recent years seem to be very well scouted by us but I just don't get why you wouldn't have a draft board with like 300 names on it.

I don't have nearly enough knowledge about the draft to hate it. However, I was not thinking swing tackle at that spot. It is fine if he can play & can be RT in a couple years but not what I was hoping for there. I guess I have irrational love for Ajayi even with a potential EXPLODING KNEE!!!

I would trade up for him if he falls anywhere close to our 4th round pick.

I felt the same way, and wanted Ajayi there too. Hell, if it was up to me, we would have traded up for him. But we as fans fall in love with players that we know or have followed thru college. If we're honest with ourselves, we don't know shit about the vast majority of the players drafted each year. Which makes it look all the more retarded to throw the tantrums we're seeing out of some.

Yeah, I wish the team would draft all of my pet cats every year, too. But realistically, if they did, they'd probably be picking in the top five every year.

This is a great point. I refuse to admit that I'm not a draft guru, and I also refuse to admit that we would be picking in the top 5 every year... but it's most likely true.

We were wondering everything from you were a victim of human trafficking to you actually ~snicker~ found some woman and forgot your internet pretend friends.

I know im late to the party, but the Randy Gregory pick in the 2nd round turned this draft from a C+ to an A- immediately. Thats a top 20 talent at #60. I'm more than happy to take that risk in the second round, especially with the horrible luck we have with the 2nd round picks in the past. He fills a huge void but will take a few weeks into the season to find his nitch. Not a day 1 starter, but is a huge upgrade in a position of need down the line. Give that man a few Whataburgers amirite [MENTION=21]Iamtdg[/MENTION]?

Damn right. I will deliver them personally. They may not all make it but some of them will.

I don't think any team does it differently with a billion gazillion guys on a board. Most probably rank their top guys that fit their system. Then we are waste time bitching about guys they didn't give a shit about because they didn't fit their systems.

System fit is what is not spelled out a lot in the draftnik world, although it is a hell of a lot better than it was years ago.
