GML Draft Random Thoughts/Player Welcomings

[Hammer]

[Hammer]

whoo that trade bodes well, i doubt carolina is targeting the position i wanna draft here.

I was going to tell Slyder to hurry up and draft before Jacksonville logged off, but of course he disappeared before I could.

[Slyder]

LOL I may have a taker for 35.

Pretty thrilled to get Shaq Thompson. I think he is Thomas Davis Part II and will definitely flip back and forth between OLB and SS throughout the year depending on where he's needed most (start out at LB and switch to safety if Boston or McDonald don't play quite so great). He has the explosiveness, play recognition, and coverage skills we want in our LBs. Kuechly and Davis will teach him how to tackle. Pretty excited about our new defense (a lot faster and better on the backend for sure).

Anyone looking to move up in the 2nd round, I am open to trade offers.

[mschuttke]

PM me though.

[Witlon]

Ugh, I gotta get a quick nap or I'll fall asleep at work tonight. I have NO's list, and I'll be back at 5 ET to hopefully pick for them.

I was surprised too--for his age, what he's done in college has been monstrous, and he's one of my favorite players, but the data has borne out that very few players with his (very poor) athletic measurables achieve success in the NFL. I'd have a tough time talking myself out of him in the second but I couldn't pull the trigger in the first.

Yeah, that was me picking for the Steelers. I debated long and hard after Dupree went right in front of me. I do value actual college production over combine measureables, and I like that he's so young and can learn for a year behind Heath Miller. My top 5 edge rushers were all off the board, and no one else there excited me in the first. Depth at the position was also a factor - I'm pretty comfortable that I can get decent prospects at my other positions of need in the 2nd-3rd round, but there is a big dropoff at TE after Williams.

Both those factors--the college production at that young age--make him a unique prospect despite his low athletic scores, n in the games I've watched he rarely misses a block so would be a great heir to heath Miller (or Todd heap lol). that sucks I wouldn't have expected Dupree to go that high. U don't like Eli Harold I take it?

Honestly don't know a whole lot on Harold, he probably wouldn't have been a terrible pick but I had him ranked similar to a couple other guys (who I won't name since they're still on the board).

Free Agency, Old Age, and High Cap numbers have obliterated the Denver Broncos O-Line. Ogbuehi has the skills of 1st rounder, but has suffered injury. If he stays healthy he has the ability to become a perennial pro-bowler. Denver plans on inserting him into the line-up on opening day!

Roger, figured, that's why I didn't mention them lol
