Official Day 2 (Rounds 2 and 3) of the 2015 NFL Draft Thread

[Bretsky]

GIVE ABOUT FOUR LB'S WE WOULD BE OK WITH

TED will draft a OL for sure...but let's give it a try

[3irty1]

In what Madden universe is your slot guy automatically your 3rd best CB and a slot WR the team's #3 WR? Slot corner is a helluva important position. Basically a starter for every team in the league.

run pMc makes a great point that hasn't been mentioned. We don't know the status of Bush after surgery. They could be down a third DB.

i just assumed we were

shields
hayward
hyde (cb or safety)
haha
burnett
randall (cb or s)
rollins (cb or s)
richadson

seems like enough without bush. plus we got that PS guy

[Bretsky]

OR............Fee free to offer others you'd be elated with round 3

[red]

cb was our weakest leak, and biggest need, going into the draft. TT's addressed it. lb, te, ol, who knows what's next.

disagree

we had 3 good cb's still on the roster

we had 1 average ILB on the roster

[red]

and goodell slows shit down again with some horseshit, make the people like be shit

[Bretsky]

There goes Mauldin....nice pick by Jets

[pittstang5]

Great pick for the Jets. Damn, I was starting to like Mauldin

[Maxie the Taxi]

Jets just drafted Wist's Lorenzo Mauldin

[wist43]

A 3-4 and 2-4 have the same amount of ILB on the field. You have literally thousands of words in this forum bitching about exactly that.

If we go into the season with just one viable ILB you could be getting your 3-3 wish. Just let the blood rush from your ulcer to your penis Wist. Ted is pretty good at this stuff.

Ted pretty much sucks at defense, lol.... as the whole Packers organization does

As for the 2-4, with the players we have... it would have to have Richardson at ILB. Afterall, if Dom is in the 2-4 he's expecting pass, is he not?? Which he expects 100% of the time... an opponent running the ball is a complete shock to that idiot.

As for the 3-3, yes that should be our nickel... nothing's changed there. The hulabalu is about acquiring players that can play in at 3-4/Elephant base.

As of now, we have 1 ILB to play in that base. Yes Matthews can move inside, but I'd prefer to keep him outside. Given the way the draft is going - dunderdummy might have no choice but to move Clay inside in the base, if for no other reason than we don't have any other competent players to put in there.

[3irty1]

He ran his Elephant and base (though he dumped the 4-3) with Hawk and Jones inside. He ran it with Hawk and Lattimore inside. He ran it with Hawk and Barrington inside. And he ran it with Matthews and Barrington inside.

Those last two are still here. Are Hawk/Jones/Lattimore anything other than replacement level ILBs at this point?

I think that's awfully presumptuous. Matthews at ILB is a decent gimmick from time to time and a good backup plan but that's a pretty crappy plan A. KY once said it best. "That's using a thoroughbred to pull a milk wagon."

[Bretsky]

JETS Draft is kicking ASS

right after REX is LET GO

Good thing they don't have a QB

[wist43]

Jets just drafted Wist's Lorenzo Mauldin

The nightmare continues, lol...

Pretty sure we're going to draft a 165 lbs Safety next, lol...

The NFFL... The National Flag Football League

[pbmax]

I think that's awfully presumptuous. Matthews at ILB is a decent gimmick from time to time and a good backup plan but that's a pretty crappy plan A. KY once said it best. "That's using a thoroughbred to pull a milk wagon."

It has to be Plan B right now. Bradford is the only option and he's barely seen the field inside, so Plan A is dicey as well.

[run pMc]

How much does he want Matthews out of the middle in base versus a 3rd down/dime backer they do not have yet?

I don't think they really want to put Clay inside unless they have no other options, which, with a draft and full offseason to sort out ILB, would be seen as negligent by sportswriters and fan base alike.
I don't think TT wants to draft someone who will only be a 2-down guy...not early in the draft anyway. Isn't ILB one of those positions where you can get by with lower round picks?

Also, this:

Fuck I hope we don't end up depending on Bradford. I'd prefer to not even depend on Barrington. I do love his attitude though.

Bradford can probably compete for a spot and maybe contribute, but I wouldn't hold my breath that he's starting. Barrington wasn't starting until later in the season, and he had experience at MLB. I think Bradford's college resume as a pass-rusher was what kept him from moving inside; but they should have seen he was too small. He doesn't have the long arms like Elvis Dumervil or some other short outside guys. I think he'll be better inside, but that's like saying beer tastes better than rancid milk.
