2016-2017 NFL Thread


Recommended Posts

Sounds like the Colts and Packers were both close to taking Myles Jack.

 

It's gotta be a tough call for a GM. Could be a great player or he could last 5 games.

 

 

Sucks that two of the best players in this draft have serious injuries. Jack and Smith.

I really like Bullard, I think he can be our Justin Smith.

 

With the Bears seemingly being open to Rankins who is on the short side, Billings is another guy who has ridiculous strength like Justin Smith.

 

Bears are in a really solid position right now if they do wanna take a DL.

What were your thoughts on the Kenny Clark pick? Of all the projected 1st round DLinemen he was one of the few who was just "meh" to me.

In a small clip I heard from some interview he did yesterday he seemed really nervous on there too. I wonder if that is the real reason he decided to stay home for the draft. LOL He must not be quite the sociable dude.

What did he say (or is just Derrick Rose level stupid)?

 

a lot of short answers, dead air, simple answers. Not unlike Rose at the beginning

Why is Derrick Henry still available?!

 

I feel like he needs a good line to be an effective NFL RB. He takes a bit to get going since he's so damn big.

I really like Vikes getting Treadwell. Their drafts continue to just be full of the "oh of course they select x". Which the opposite of that is "what the hell are the other teams doing?"

 

I think the Browns did a good job loading up after their FA offseason.

Wonder if there is a trade back scenario to get some more picks. A lot of guys on the board are OLB and DL. Could see a massive run on those guys.

 

 

I'd love to move back and recoup a pick or two.

 

There are many options:

 

DL

Jon Bullard Florida

Jihad Ward Illinois

Andrew Billing Baylor

Jarran Reed Alabama

A'Shawn Robinson Alabama

Chris Jones Mississippi State (My personal favorite)

 

OT

Le"raven Clark Texas Tech

Jason Spriggs Indiana

 

S

Vonn Bell Ohio State

Darian Thompson Boise State

TJ Green Clemson

Su'a Cravens USC

Justin Simmons Boston College

Sean Davis Maryland

 

CB

Kendall Fuller Virginia Tech

Mackensie Alexander Clemson

Xavien Howard Baylor

 

Edge Rushers

Noah Spence Eastern Kentucky

Kevin Dodd Clemson

Shilique Calhoun Michigan State

 

 

There are also QB's, OG Cody Whitehair, some RB's and WRs. Bears could do almost anything with next two picks.

A guy who only had 4.5 sacks as a 23 year old in NCAA? And the Bears trade UP to get him?

 

Aldon Smith only had 3 the year before getting draft. I read Floyd only lined up on the edge 61% of the time. Played in the middle and even in the slot last year.

 

There were reports the Giants had him on top of their wish list so yes, if he was their guy then they had to trade up for him.

I have heard multiple analysts call in the score today and say that Georgia really did not use him to maximize his talents, and lined him up all over the field. And he went to prep school after high school which is why he is older
