Official 2017 1st Round Of The NFL Draft Thread

[smuggler]

There are sometimes players drafted in round 3 who perform better than their round 1 counterparts.

Some people like Vince Biegel's chances as an rush LB as much as Watt. I read where some scouts like Biegel more. There are other names for edge guys and corners.

If they like King as it is rumored, then that helps the secondary. You draft someone like Biegel who takes a back seat in press clippings to Watt, but may have his own success, and as for RB, there are many more good prospects, including Cook. It would also not surprise me if he picked Joe Mixon with his first pick, assuming he's comfortable doing so.

I'm not sold on King but I'd certainly be ok with Biegel with that second 2nd round pick.

Cook has even more non-sense in his background. He has like five police called incidents since he was a junior in HS.

1. Robbery at age 14
2. Firing and possessing weapon on school property at 15
3. At FSU, criminal mischief with BB gun shooting out windows
4. Mistreatment of puppies same year as #4
5. Named associate in assault case between two other men that occurred at his apartment (same summer as #4)
6. Summer of sophomore year accused of punching a woman, charged and found not guilty

MMQB has a good run down plus information that a "runner" for an agent that Cook did not choose was bad mouthing him and spreading rumors about him not showing up for NFL workouts on time.

RANDOM THOGHTS

KUDOS TO CLEVELAND- They are a few years away from winning Don't reach for a QB; build up your team this year. Sounds like next yr the QB class will be very strong. Get one then

I don't know. It's like they are afraid to make a mistake on a QB. They should have just drafted Wentz last year.

Very True
we could just refer to Justine Harrell and Derrick Sherrod

You think Wentz figures it out?

Absolutely right there. I like Wentz long term

I will never forgive Tamba Hali.

If TJ Watt turns out special I'll never forgive the Turtle

Ian Rapoport just reported on NFL Network that GB is fielding calls for their 1st pick in the 2nd Round from teams wanting a QB.

[jmbarnes101]

Having the first pick on days 2 and 3 is a highly sought affer commodity. I just wish we had a gm that had the testicular fortitude to capitalize on that and I'm hoping TT proves me wrong in that we don't have one.

Asked if he’d consider trading back again, Ted Thompson replied, “Oh yeah. We’re taking calls.”

Pace on why he felt a trade up was necessary: "Just in my talks. We have a lot of feelers out there. I didn't want to sit on our hands."

QB's make people stupid. He might be able to clear a mint.

Like SF did to DA Bears. Hey, where is DaBears anyway? Been awhile.

Ironically the two teams that gave up those top two picks still don't have a QB, SF and Cle. Here's to hoping TT can pull out an additional 1st rounder next year as opposed to a 6th rounder and a box of crackerjacks.
