Draft Discussion

[Cactus Jack]

From a casual fan perspective who has not followed the game closely in quite a while and is not familiar with any of the players, it appears at first glance that the Texans had a pretty decent draft overall. Then again it is the Texans, so well...yea.

Any thoughts from you guys who are way more in tune with the current game on some of the players they selected?

Looks like they made some good additions to the secondary/LB and the OL/RB/WR, but what the hell do I know anymore. I'm just glad we're no longer under Ass Chin's grip.

If healthy, Stingley will be very good. Stephon Gilmore is his best comp.

I'm not in love with Kenyon Green. But they upgraded the OL.

They got some good players on day 2. Pitre & Metchie are solid.

Dameon Pierce is one of my favorite RB's in this class. Kareem Hunt is the guy I think of when watching him.

Overall...I would have taken Ekwonu or Neal over Stingley. But I like what they did for the most part.

How is the Eagles draft particularly good? They selected the BPA in the first round, and Nakobe Dean fell to them. What else did they do?

Damn. We killed this draft!! This guy should have been taken on Day 2.

No, because a CB has to do more than be tall and run fast; Woolen is a developmental guy. Might be a great pick. Might not.
He was a 4th round pick.

Hurts is arguably the best QB in the division and finally has weapons at receiver.

Hurts time is limited.

It's too bad that Strong has his medical problems. He would have been a day two pick if he was clean.

You don't find CB's with those measurables. He's a converted receiver. Huge upside. A lot of people had him going in the 3rd round.

I think a lot of the love is because of AJ Brown. Davis & Dean we're BPA. But you still have to give them credit for going that route & pulling off the trade. I'm a huge fan of Cam Jurgens also.

If so, a lot of people didn't know what they were talking about.

He would’ve been #1 qb if he was healthy. But his mobility is shot due to the knee.

nfl draft conversations in a nutshell

[okboomer]

What an awesome draft for the Eagles. Granted none of them have played a nfl snap yet. Biggest draft for them in many years. Got two players off a legendary defense in Georgia. Plus traded for AJ Brown. Now just need Jameis to totally implode this season and could be looking at a top 10 pick .

Winners & losers?


The Ravens first 6 picks are great value. I'd say they won the draft.

Losers? Minnesota? Cine is a good player. But that trade down (12-32) was pretty brutal. I don't love how they used their draft capital if I'm being honest. Booth is fine. But the rest is fairly meh to me. Sorry Duke & Hermes. Maybe we'll all look like idiots.

Taking Cole Strange in the 1st. Makes New England an automatic loser in my book.

kirk cousins and i are looking forward to serving everyone their crow

Hated the Vikings draft. Again if youre going to take a safety in the 1st, you take the safety that is basically unanimously viewed as a the best safety in the class by a wide margin. But if youre going to trade all the way down from 12 to 32, you better get a better return than what they got.

Like I said in the middle of the 1st, I wasn't a fan of Booth and they ended up grabbing him in the 2nd.

Dont know much about Ingram but seems like most think this was quite the reach.

Brian Asamoah is a tiny linebacker who isnt projected to be an every down backer.

Day 3 picks are mostly just shots in the dark.

So ya going into the summer not high at all with this draft. Hopefully they all prove me wrong and Ill gladly eat crow.

The man with the golden leg (sounds like he fell cause he can't do anything but kick it as far as he can but that's ok)

Hated the Cowboys draft. Mess up bit time with their first pick. I'm ashamed after 52 years. At least there is Showtime and fantasy football to look forward to.

[LAKESHOW]

It is clear to me, that the Patriots got Lucky Drafting the kid from California, Tom Brady. It is also clear to me, that Luck is the foundational Philosophy of their drafting process

I agree about the Vikings. They used their draft capital horribly. I also thought the Cowboys had a horrible draft along with the Patriots. I also add the Bears in there. they didn't address their O-line at all and do anything to protect their Qb they drafted last year.
On the other hand the Chiefs did an outstanding job with their draft capital and more than deserve an A+. I also loved what the Sea Hawks did. Love Cross!!! I probably should send you a PM. I hate getting mushy about your team in front of the kids.
