2018 Weekend Draft Chatter Thread

[lostxn]

I have never seen LVE as a top 20 player.

Brugler had him at 26. Other people said 30s or 40s.

Ridley was 11.

Well he is a top 20 player now.

 

[Smitty]

You also thought Derwin James was a top ten talent.

So did most people.

 

[boozeman]

Here come the reaches.

Everyone and their dog had Ragnow to the Bengals and the Lions grabbed him.

 

[NoDak]

Holy shit.

This draft is a perfect example WHY historically shitty teams remain shitty.

I'm looking at you Cleveland and Detroit.

 

[NoDak]

Jerry drafted him because he wants to rail his mom

She's way too old for him.

I'll hope for the best but this was the perfect time to get aggressive. Broaddus compares this guy to Chad Greenway. Oh, yay.

Can't help but think they are working an Earl Thomas trade in their back pocket and that steered them away from moving.

I would have traded back and settled for a lineman before doing this. I can get Darius Leonard later.

Yea sorry but if Broaddus doesnt like him that makes me like this pick more

I don't think they view safety as a big need. They are really high on Xavier Woods.

Jeez, if Jaylon's leg really is near 100% and Lee healthy, that is a fucking great starting linebacker platoon.

 

[Smitty]

I'll say this.

At some point I'd consider moving picks to get up for Moore or Ridley if they keep falling.

 

[Smitty]

I think that's probably right. I disagree though.

I'd have loved Woods next to James or Thomas (again, if Thomas is reasonably priced in terms of draft pick compensation).

That secondary would be stocked.

Jones
Awuzie
Lewis
Brown
White

Thomas/James
Woods
Heath
Frazier

Very nice.

 

[boozeman]

So did most people.

And sometimes, most people don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

In terms of James, from what I watched, I can tell you right now he was immensely overrated.

Thus, I was not all concerned when I saw him "slip".

i wouldn't mind this now either

 

[ravidubey]

I disagree. I think he was one of the top players left on the board. And he fit in with one of our biggest needs.


I can't even BEGIN to describe how happy I am that the team didn't force a pick with taking an over rated WR in the first, especially after cutting Dez just a couple weeks prior. Niiiiice.

Now I'll be ok with one of the WRs in the 2nd or 3rd.

You and I are totally aligned. It’s weird.

Broddus has been calling this pick for nearly a month. I think he's likes the player quite a bit. Sometimes when these draft guys make comparisons, it's to what they were in college vs what they will be in the pros.

 

[Cotton]

And CEV ClearEyedVision

LEECEVLVE. Someone come up with a clever thing for this.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Yeah Broaddus is borderline special needs.

 

[Deuce]

Ok, that's why @Deuce ain't in the draft chatter thread?

I’m here, motherfucker.

 

[Smitty]

Lamar Jackson is gonna fall into New England's lap.

 

[boozeman]

I'll say this.

That would shock me. We invested a lot at WR in free agency. I cannot see us giving up picks.

 

[boozeman]

And urmahgurd that would be so awful
