Draft Day Thread

[Seinfeld]

Who are you fellas hoping that your NFL teams draft tonight and through the weekend?

As a Titans fan, while I do think that Mariotta will be a good NFL QB one day, there are just too many holes to fill on the roster, so I'm hoping for a trade. Latest is that they're looking for either 3 first rounders or at least 2 firsts and a high second round pick. Steep asking price, but with at least three separate teams highly interested, I think that one is going to eventually cave.

They could then literally use those picks for any position(there are holes everywhere), but I'd save one to spend late on a guy like Shane Ray whose stock has recently dropped. They're gonna have to gamble to get better

The other half of me which is a long time Niners fan would love see a draft that nets Armstead in the 1st round and then a WR like Green-Beckham in the 2nd. If that doesn't work out, then I could also go with Parker or a CB like Peters in the 1st and then Preston Smith in 2nd. They've got some very specific needs at WR, CB, the D line, and ILB, so a lot will simply depend on who's available.

As a long-time Niners fan, I want to go defense early and often. In the league, you have to be solid in the middle and have a pass rusher. Right now with their attrition, they need immediate talent which means high draft picks or big $$$ free agents. I'd try to get one of the inside backers and a pass rush DE. Preston will probably be there in the late second but I'd try to Ray or Beasley first. While there are some good WR in the draft, there is a lot of WR value in the 3-5 rounds.

Bet your *** we will draft another WR bust in the first round.

Unfortunately, with Beasley's stock continuing to rise, I don't see it happening with him but I agree with you otherwise. One of the latest reports that I heard yesterday was that if Armstead and Peters aren't still there at #15, the Niners will be looking to trade down in order to get an extra 2nd rounder. As deep as this draft is from a D Line standpoint, I think that would be a wise move. They could feasibly end up with with a haul like Shane Ray, McKinney or Kendricks at ILB, and Collins or Rowe at CB if that were to happen.

As a Redskins fan, I really hope we focus on every position except D-Line and RB.

Ugh. Between the Niners and Titans, neither one have been able to evaluate a college receiver to save their lives.

Wouldn't mind the talk of the Saints loving Petty being true.

Think he's got the talent, but needs a few years in a system to sit and learn. Let one former Texas HS qb learn from another.
