    Official 2017 1st Round Of The NFL Draft Thread

    Not to be confused with the Official 2017 NFL Draft Thread which Red started because he had given up on the 2016 Season.

    The 1st round of the NFL Draft deserves it's own thread.

    Anybody heard from Ras?

    Cleveland is on the clock. Will they take the best player or will the owner make them take a QB?

    its amazing that mccafrey has gone from a second round pick in many "experts" opinions a couple weeks ago, to now being a probable top 10 pick

      And Takk McKinley and John Ross might be going in the opposite direction. Both because of injury concerns.

          I'm a flipper; I find NFL network to have way better content but the ESPNies to be more entertaining
          TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

            Kiper has Packers taking Lamp. I just don't see TT taking a Guard that early. They've been able to develop 4th rounders into Pro Bowlers.

              I need to know which DVR recording to watch later tonight. I'm recording both.
              No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

                Watch the one that features Ted trading down and still getting Kevin King, the UCLA kid (Mckinley or something?) and Joe Mixon.

                    Yes. The draft is sandwiched between a Holly Halston Special and "Jodi West's Magic Milfs."

                          Myles Garrett - DE - Texas A&M

                          ANALYSIS
                          STRENGTHS Chiseled physique with functional strength, and not just beach muscles. Bigger than people think. Uber-athlete with spring-loaded hips and elite explosiveness. Powerful legs allow him to fight through redirect blocks and corner the edge at a sharp angle. Dominant pass-rush ability and production in college. Remarkable burst off the snap. His first three steps can throw an offense into disarray. When he times the snap, tackles have almost no chance of catching him at the edge. Wicked, whirling, dervish inside spin move that's reminiscent of Dwight Freeney's. Charges, coils, and springs up into tackles to help facilitate a quality bull rush. Game-wrecking potential. Has game experience against the likes of La'el Collins, Shon Coleman, Cam Robinson and Laremy Tunsil. Can play with a hand in the ground or standing. Able to spin in either direction out of block engagement. Lightning-fast inside charge extremely disruptive against the run. Gobbles up grass with long strides in open-field pursuit. Plus acceleration to the runner. Quick twitch creates ability to bound suddenly into running backs looking to charge past line of scrimmage. Outstanding rate as a tackle finisher with running backs and quarterbacks rarely escaping his clutches. Looks to maintain run fits rather than play hero ball. Has ability to play on both sides of the line of scrimmage.

                          WEAKNESSES Relies heavily on tremendous athleticism and explosion. Still learning how to string moves together and work with a pass-rush plan. At times, will take too long to activate counter moves when initial attack has stalled. Effort level appears closely tied to fatigue level at times. As pass rusher, uses hands reactively too often rather than proactively. Gets too cozy with blockers and will ride block for too long. Needs more urgency in disengagement. Would benefit with violent stick-and-move punch quickness into blockers. Has to work overtime to set a strong edge. Gets uprooted and widened out by quality run-blocking tackles. Never played in more than 70 percent of the defensive snaps in any of his three seasons at Texas A&M. Scouts are convinced he took plays off to protect his health this season.

                          DRAFT PROJECTION Top 3 pick

                          NFL COMPARISON Julius Peppers

                          BOTTOM LINE Elite edge rusher who possesses rare explosiveness and the fluid-movement skills and agility of an NBA shooting guard. Good size, but he's never likely going to be a hold-your-ground run defender, and might be best suited as an outside linebacker. However, his ability to explode into the backfield through a gap or around the edge gives him disruptive potential on every snap. Garrett still needs to fine-tune his pass-rush strategy and could stand to give more consistent effort from the start of the snap until the whistle. But his pass-rush production and athletic traits point toward an all-pro career.

                              Kind of interesting.

                              6'4" 272, 4.64 40, 10'7" broad jump, 33 bench reps, 41" vertical
                              6'3" 271, 4.64 40, 10'4" broad jump, 35 bench reps, 38 1/2" vertical

                              First guy is Myles Garrett.
                              Second guy is Nick Perry.
                              "There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson
