Official 2017 2nd Round Of The NFL Draft Thread

[call_me_ishmael]

Tankersly gone. Dang. Was hoping to get him #1 tomorrow.

[Bretsky]

Prisco:



Don't really have a strong opinion of this guy other than to say Guion might be history. Could be a boom or bust pick.


Dude has talent; takes plays off. We'll see; at worst he should be a rotation guy

[Carolina_Packer]

Get the big guys early!

[Brandon494]

Like the pick and we needed help on the DL

[Bretsky]

Rasul Douglas....nice pick at CB for Phily

[Brandon494]

Just hoping Samaje Perine falls to us tomorrow

[gbgary]

So he's ok with us having an underwhelming, at best, pass rush. Ok, makes sense. Sometimes it really amazes me that this team is in the playoffs every year.

he didn't say how much o, just that there would be some.

[gbgary]

Just hoping Samaje Perine falls to us tomorrow

we have the first pick so maybe. just has to survive this round.

[woodbuck27]

Just hoping Samaje Perine falls to us tomorrow

With only three picks remaining in Round Three (3) He's still on the board.

56. Dorian Johnson, OL, Pittsburgh
58. Davon Godchaux, DT, LSU
59. Tedric Thompson, S, Colorado

64. Malachi Dupre, WR, LSU
65. Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma
70. Desmond King, CB, Iowa

74. Jordan Leggett, TE, Clemson
76. Josh Malone, WR, Tennessee
77. Carl Lawson, DE, Auburn
81. Brian Hill, RB, Wyoming

and there goes A RB... 91. James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh to the Steelers. That leaves two final picks in Round Three.

[smuggler]

Maybe the 49ers spoil us on him though. Seems like their kind of back.

NFL.com on Adams:

OVERVIEW
The former national top-five defensive tackle high school recruit reached his potential in 2016, earning second-team all-conference honors (8.5 TFL, 4.5 sacks). Adams was a three-year starter after contributing as a true freshman (20 tackles, sack), lining up with the ones in 2014 (8.0 TFL, three sacks, INT) and earning third-team All-SEC honors as a junior (three TFL, 2.5 sacks).
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Low out of his stance and with good explosiveness. Springs into gaps to stress guards and split double teams. Usually first into neutral zone. Disruptive when working the gaps. Burly lower half with good thickness through his hips and thighs. Powerful leg drive pushes him through blocker's shoulder and into the backfield. Motor seemed to be revved more consistently in 2016 than in 2015. Pursues from backside with hustle. Has some bull rush potential if he keeps pads low.
WEAKNESSES Strikes head first with eyes down losing sight of the play. Doesn't utilize hands well enough to keep himself clean. Needs to improve punch and extension to add value as a two-gap tackle. Sticks on blocks and labors to disengage. Short stepper with limited lateral effectiveness as pass rusher. Active as rusher but fails to stress the edge often enough. Has carried label as underachiever at times. Has talent but needs to more consistently play to it.
DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 2-3
NFL COMPARISON Jay Bromley
BOTTOM LINE Adams disappointed the scouting community with a pedestrian junior season that lacked passion and production. This season, he played with greater consistency of effort and found his way into the backfield far more often. Can be disruptive off the snap but is not the type of player to recover quickly if beaten early in the rep. He is a rotational defensive tackle for gap-attack defenses, but is unlikely to offer much as a pass rusher.

What's Gabe Kaplan doing up there on the stage?

BOOOOOO!!! (that's for you pb)

If I were there I would yell "Isn't he a Seahawk?"

But its Philly, I would need a bullhorn to be heard.

[Brandon494]

Shit...think Bucs going to get him

[pbmax]

that size and speed combination remind me of another 2nd round safety

Good to know the slow leak in your head has stopped. Was listening to draft in car and after description and college, I said:

Next Nick Collins!

Only a safety from UConn might allow for a closer parallel: Obi Melifonwu - S - Connecticut

[SMBASS]

Just hoping Samaje Perine falls to us tomorrow

+1 Brandon! Me too! The more I look into Perine the more I like him.

[woodbuck27]

With only three picks remaining in Round Three (3) He's still on the board.

77. Carl Lawson, DE, Auburn
81. Brian Hill, RB, Wyoming

and there goes A RB... 91. James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh to the Steelers. That leaves two final picks in Round Three.

Now we are down to one last pick in Round Three by Tampa Bay and they won't pick a RB here.

[SMBASS]

Perine still available for tomorrow...

[HarveyWallbangers]

Gut feeling for me. Like the King pick. Okay with the Jones pick. Don't really like the Adams pick. Athletic, but underachieving DL with high pad level seldom seem to work out. I'm leaning towards the Oklahoma RB next.

[Brandon494]

Nice...still hope

[Bretsky]

So is Carl Lawson, who wouldn't be bad

[Maxie the Taxi]

I have high hopes for Cousin Montravius!

[woodbuck27]

Perine still available for tomorrow...

I didn't like TT's pick in Rd. 3. That looked to me to be a hope and a prayer pick. Maybe TT liked his speed? The Packers need more NOWS and not three years down the road.

I'm on the Samaje Perine bandwagon. The Packers do need a real RB.

After the trade King had to be the pick
I'm ok with Jones but I'd have preferred 3-5 guys over him
TIme will tell with Adams. Seems like he has immense talent but is lazy. Probably not the type of guy I'd draft

[Joemailman]

He's not Khyri Thornton...Right?

[woodbuck27]

So is Carl Lawson, who wouldn't be bad

77. Carl Lawson, DE, Auburn

[beveaux1]

Carl Lawson could be today's Justin Harrell. Bad medical concerns.

[gbgary]

So is Carl Lawson, who wouldn't be bad

the best edge rusher left.

[pbmax]

the best edge rusher left.

Have no fear Gary.

OLB Samson Ebukam, Eastern Washington

[Carolina_Packer]

Have no fear Gary.

OLB Samson Ebukam, Eastern Washington

Go get him TT. He's an athlete who is just scratching the surface.

STRENGTHS Explosive athlete with a background in basketball, javelin and shot-put in high school. Triggers out of his stance with quick-twitch as a rusher. Attacks the edge with plus burst and has the desire to keep working when he gets punched and controlled early. Wowed teams with a vertical leap of 39 inches and a sub 4.5 forty yard dash at his pro day. Plays with a suddenness when crashing down the line after ball carriers. Drawn to the play like a magnet. Lauded for intelligence and work ethic. Initial quickness creates disruption in run game. Chalked up 15 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles in 2016. Rangy with a willingness to pursue way down the field.

well there ya go. the Lawson dude had a severe hip injury earlier.

[Carolina_Packer]

Question for everyone. If I said you could have one of these backs, which one would you take?

Samaje Perine, OK

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-hxd55alKE

A bowling ball that will wear out a defense and even has a little shake. No fun to tackle.

Marlon Mack, USF

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEEweKyYcDA

A little Reggie Bush/Shady McCoy in him?

I know they are different styles, but who would you take and why?

[Joemailman]

I think this team needs more speed on offense, so I'd go with Mack. I see Perrine as Eddie Lacy without the quick feet. Decent big back, but not special.

[Smidgeon]

I want whomever has the better vision. Lacy was the first RB in a while who could read rushing lanes really well. I want more of that and less of running into their own guys.

[Carolina_Packer]

Mack just looks like he explodes to the second level, and has shake/juke when a defender is trying to get in a position to tackle him which creates separation and then he shows his explosiveness. Also, if he can catch the ball out of the back field, he would be dangerous in the open field.

[VegasPackFan]

I want Perine. We need a good power guy like him. He's really strong and has good burst. If the ankle is in good shape, I think he'll be even more explosive than his last college year tape shows. Good pairing with Ty.

[VegasPackFan]

Also: Perine reminds me of Michael Turner. YESSSS

[HarveyWallbangers]

Also: Perine reminds me of Michael Turner. YESSSS

That's a pretty good comp. I'm not usually high on RBs that don't run a good 40 -- unless they have special traits elsewhere (e.g. Lacy with his power but quick feet), but this guy is relatively impressive. He has a lot of mileage on him though, doesn't he?

[BZnDallas]

Perine looks like he has football speed. He's no burner, but he looks to have enough speed to make a go in the league. And he doesn't look like a cheeseburger is gonna put him over the top either. I think he could be a better Eddie Lacy. He could be the thunder to Montys lightning. (Have we had a thunder/lightning reference recently?)

[BZnDallas]

Perine with early 4th and Beigel with the later 4th?

[Pugger]

he didn't say how much o, just that there would be some.

How much help do we need on O besides a RB and perhaps a guard?

[smuggler]

WR in round 6 or 7 is possible. Jake Butt is still on the board as well.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I like him. Would be nice to get him for the future. When to pick him is the question.

[Bretsky]

Jake Butt would be great pick as well. IMO much better than the Plodder
