Crap. There stops the Dorian Johnson slide - to Cardinals, too. We'll see about that liver issue now.

It was Bribbs & a 5th from what I read, so they only moved down a little bit.

That 5th they received is a compensatory selection, too. Remember that compensatory picks can now be traded. Just throwing it out there.

Cincinnati is having an amazing draft now. Good for them.

Bengals love high upside DL that other teams knock for either medical or character - they get another one in Lawson. Dang.

Lawson gone.

Reynolds could be a once or twice a game pesky red zone threat. Just throw it up to him and let him go to work. One of the better deep ball guys in this draft.

Eagles took Mack Hollins. One of my WR targets. One of the better kids in this draft. Has some interests outside of football but loves football. He's a size/speed combo guy. Can play STs day one. Could actually be a Pro Bowl STs cover guy someday IMO, too.

ChrisPozz · Post #1270 » by **ChrisPozz** » Sat Apr 29, 2017 4:47 pm

I could actually see Belichick getting Hollins on his 2nd contract and absolutely maximizing everything out of him. I thought that might be a spot he could wind up.

Ben Gedeon to the Vikings. Another guy that should be one of the better STs in this class. Just don't make him tackle. Back to back players in that area. Does a lot of small things well that a lot of coach types will like. Solid, not spectacular in any one thing. Comes from a great family. Incredibly smart family.

Niners trade up?

ChrisPozz · Post #1273 » by **ChrisPozz** » Sat Apr 29, 2017 4:54 pm

49ers traded up for Joe Williams.

Played football and track in high school. Then he went to Hargrave Military Academy in 2011, then attended Connecticut the following year (six yards on three carries in nine games). Did not play with the team in 2013 after being suspended in August of that year for credit card theft. Transferred to ASA College in New York for the 2014 season and found interest for football again. He then signed with Utah, playing behind Devontae Booker and eventually starting for them when Booker was hurt and had two very good games. He then decided to retire early in the 2016 season. However, after several Utah players went down with injury he made his return and exploded again. He rushed for 333 yards and 4 TDs against UCLA in his second game back and in his final game he ran for 222 yards and a TD in the team's bowl win over Indiana.

Very good speed with good suddeness. I wouldn't have drafted him. I could find better for you myself and I didn't like the circumstances surrounding his brief retirement. As many know I'm very passionate about my RBs. Just a style thing with me. I'm not liking what I'm seeing from what Shanahan seems to want from his RBs now that he's away from Atlanta. Very, very scary.

I've been watching Bibbs clips since poss shared the news, I'm actually pretty impressed by his vision. he seems patient when picking his holes. He looks small though.

Curious move to trade up for an RB after you traded for an RB

ChrisPozz · Post #1276 » by **ChrisPozz** » Sat Apr 29, 2017 4:58 pm

Charles Davis said that the retirement with Joe Williams was because some family issues. I actually heard from scouts who said they were wondering if that was a front for something more serious. I am NOT saying that is the case but that other people who did work on him had heard that might be the case.

Like I said, I didn't love the circumstances because it was an unknown situation and it's with a guy at the RB spot. I am looking for very specific things at RB if it's me.

Shanahan has forgotten more about offensive players than anyone on this board will ever know.

I'm good lol

You know where I'll be if Joe proves things wrong.

Also signed Harris and Hightower. Lot of competition.

ChrisPozz · Post #1280 » by **ChrisPozz** » Sat Apr 29, 2017 5:00 pm

They gave up pick their 4th and pick 161 to move up 22 spots.
