2017 NFL DRAFT Thread

I figured we go RB and TE today.

Leaves NT and WR for me.

Yikes. You better be able to scheme Kittle open. So much of that one is going to be what they're going to ask him to do because he could go a lot of different ways.

If they were going with a move guy, I'd have MUCH rather had Hodges. I know they'll probably bring up the blocking, though.

Well we shouldn't have to worry about Kittle catching the ball. That is improvement.

Kittle had the 7th longest arms at the combine (among TE) with 18 bench reps and was in the middle of the pack in hand size.
3rd best 40 and 10th best since 2006.
6th best vertical jump.
3rd best broad jump. (3rd best since 2006)
Didn't run the shuttles or 3-cone at the Combine.

And Jake Butt went 1 pick before him. That'll be a fun discussion in 5 years.

And Kittle had PFF's 2nd best run blocking grade this year.

He's the perfect slot receiver for them. I don't see how he doesn't see the field immediately. As a rookie he'll share duties with Cole Beasley, then totally take over his spot as a sophomore.

Desmond King to the Chargers

PLEASE let me see him try and tackle in the NFL. He's a hair over 5'9 and 167 lbs with 9 inch hands. PLEASE make this happen.

Run on TEs. 4 TEs in the first 10 picks in this round. Only 1 in round 4.

Yikes. Didn't love Jayon Brown (Titans). Wouldn't have surprised me had he gone undrafted. Again a lot of it will be what they ask him to do.

ChrisPozz · Post #1340 » by **ChrisPozz** » Sat Apr 29, 2017 6:35 pm

Brian Hill to the Falcons. 349 carries this year and 281 the prior year. Only 8 catches this year on 14 targets with 2 drops. There's things to like but nothing I love. I wouldn't have drafted him myself.
