So I don't know if we were better off with taking Marcus Davenport, that the Saints now have. In a few years we'll know Landry's still available, among others. I'm not worried. Gute has shown the willingness to go for the gusto after signing Graham and Wilkerson and then turning a first rounder into two first rounders while only moving down four spots.

In a few years we'll know I’m more comfortable with grabbing CB depth which was sorely lacking than OLB depth where we’re ok. Tough to say how much of the weak pass rush was Capers’ scheme, also.

Not a big fan of getting a center 20th overall in a weak o-line draft. Hoping Guice or Nick Chubb fall to 51.

Any guesses on how the Saints will be next year? I can’t remember the last time they put together back to back playoff appearances. Would be sweet if this was another one of those down years for them and that 1st gets more value.

They look pretty stacked and if Davenport shows even half the ability he's projected to have the defense will be good enough to help Brees make it to the second round of the playoffs.

See, I disagree-I actually think the Lions have more than enough talent at RB (Especially after signing Blount), the problem for the past few years has been the scheme and run blocking. Ragnow does a lot to fix that-he's an incredibly athletic guy who was overpowering against top-tier lines in college, and his presence should do a lot to open up holes for Abdullah and Blount that haven't been there in years past. Of course, a lot of my satisfaction with this pick is contingent on Quinn finally doing something to address the dire D-line situation tonight, so my feelings may change pretty quickly depending on how the rest of the draft shakes out.

also jaire is pretty heavy for a 5'10'' corner a lot of those guys come in at 180, 185 probably gonna bulk up above 200 once he's in an nfl program a stout lad

Ribbing aside Ragnow is not at all a bad pick considering the DTs and NTs in this division.

Yeah, I mean, plenty of years have gone by where a lot of people have been saying "fix the run game" and if you can get that close to or fully accomplished with one pick then might as well take care of it. I saw Landry get mocked to the lions 1st round and he's still available.

Dubious posted:so whats the deal with this Mike Hughes guy the vikings drafted Aniki posted:CB depth is a legitimate need for the Vikings. Both Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander's contracts are up after 2019 and it takes a year or two for corners to get up to speed in Zimmer's defense. So there is logic in the Vikings drafting a corner this year; what I disagree with is spending a 1st round pick on what amounts to a 4th corner who has red flags for character and is undersized for Zimmer's scheme. This is a role that could have easily been filled by a mid round pick or veteran FA. Zimmer is supposed to be a CB guru, but he hasn't proven that he can develop mid to late round CBs, and instead keeps investing high picks on corners who they may not retain past their first contract. It's not a sustainable way to build a team.

I was very ANGEREY last night but now i'm seeing this guy's stats from college and what a cool dude he is and now I, too, am coming around on the pick. If the Lions O-line can stay healthy (lol) then Stafford might not get sacked 329 times a year, anymore.

That Lions pick actually seems like the only non-reach o line pick in the first round besides Quenton Nelson. Besides, they need to resurrect that run game so so bad and the only way to do that is improve the offensive line. It's not sexy but to me it seems pretty solid

Bears showing that they absolutely don't believe in Grasu or White (which is good as far as white is concerned, Anthony Miller is the new Tyreek Evans) I can't believe they didn't take Landry or Josh Jackson but I guess an inside linebacker is gonna fix the pass defense? mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Apr 28, 2018 |

I really wanted Landry, but watching YouTube clips of Daniels, I get it. I'm really hyped for Anthony Miller. From the limited clips I've seen, dude runs very good routes. Get a couple secondary players and another edge rusher and I'll be pretty happy.

seeing that Burks will probably play ILB rather than OLB in a 3-4 That's fine - I am sufficiently uncomfortable with Jake Ryan as the starter than I can applaud giving him competition even if the rookie doesn't pan out. Plus it's an injury-prone position. Still wanted a pass-catcher, but didn't see many good or even decent names on the board after Miller was taken. might take a good-athlete-but-bad-at-football project type (st. brown? maybe the missouri guy?) late and hope philbin can do magic with them.

Pettine is really good. I am legitimately worried about your defense next year. I only take consolation in the fact that I think your offense is going to seriously miss Jordy and regress. Or so I hope
