GML Draft Random Thoughts/Player Welcomings

[prettyflacco]

Whatever we can do to move this along is fine with me. It would have been fun to have everyone on here on a Saturday where more people can pick and discuss, etc. Instead Jacksonville of all teams has to waste this whole day. As if that team's rep needed any more shade

[BearsDreamer]

Alright, Houston. U about up. Praying u don't take my guy

[BearsDreamer]

About to see the magic of auto pick

[jalexjsmithj]

What I am surprised over is the talking heads having Scherff rated so highly as a tackle. He will make a good guard, but guards are not valued in the top ten of the draft...

It's pretty simple imho, watch the tape on both of them...they both move well. They are both intelligent...

They are almost identical in their measurables..except... Despite Flowers arms being longer, he hit 37 reps on the bench to Scherffs 23. Flowers is ready right now to pave a running back lane at right tackle, our only weakness.

At Miami, he helped the running game to 5.26 yards per carry. Iowa had a, paltry for college level, 4.12 yards per carry.

Frankly, I'm surprised you are surprised...You guys need to study the players, not just read a top 100 list and assume who ever wrote it is responsible enough to rate these guys...

Ereck Flowers vs Nebraska (2014) | Draft Breakdown This Flowers vs Nebraska and the best pass rusher he faced this year. He wasn't always up against Gregory, but when he was I wasn't impressed. Check out 1:30 and 6:20. The reason I constantly hear that Scherff won't be able to play LT is arm length. To me he'll at least pave roads at RT.

lmao Didnt think that trade post would get that many panties in a bunch, just trying to break up the monotony

[BearsDreamer]

So If want to keep this going I am ready to announce. We all good with that? And damn you Houston.

[305]

I dont see why we would have to wait on the autopick... hasnt been that way in the past. Miss your pick, the draft moves on.

[BearsDreamer]

Been waiting all day to call his name. Now I have him and Allen Bailey rotating in and developing behind to solid veteran defensive lineman.

[BearsDreamer]

I actually obsessed over the Ray vs Armstead debate in my head all day. Houston made it an easy pick but of course now I am all jelly over Shane. Grass is always greener. Of course Beasly was my guy, thought he would fall

[Kingdom]

Keep going till guy shows to pick. That's technically what would happen in real life. Hammer, go drag Leo from the bar to pick.

[NFLRA]

So.. does Houston's pick still count as the 15th pick in the salary cap category?

[BearsDreamer]

I would think it b would count as 16, since 15 was forfieted

[Hammer]

in previous years, your pick is your pick, and whenever the team skipped hopped back in, it would still technically be at their slot. i hadnt heard of that being changed, personally i dont care either way, but yea. ironically, 15 and 16 are both listed as the same cap hit, im sure 15 will be raised a bit though.

[Witlon]

Ugh...I expected Mach to actually watch this while I had company.

God damn it.

[Choon328]

I think it was presumptious to select ahead of the other team without the say so of Witlon. What if he didn't want teams to skip ahead? Or what if one of the guys you took were the best available player that would have went to Jax? Probably should have waited in my opinion.


EDIT: I was wrong
