Who's Your Favorite? 2017 Draft

[gbgary]

I think King is the most likely to be a bust.

maybe only because he'll be a starter and have the highest expectations of this group. he'll also be given the most slack. depending on who you read for rankings he's one of the top 3 corners in the draft. after king, josh jones, and williams, i think the bust potential increases exponentially.

Good to see another Purdue guy in Yancey since Neal is gone. What the Packers saw in him I would like to see come out; they seemed to like him more than other teams. Reminds me of when they drafted Nate Palmer a little early even when he didn't seem to have much other interest.

Pro day stats not bad according to that link, somewhat like Montgomery. He's no running back but maybe could do some of the thing Montgomery was doing before converting to RB.

Unsure about Adams but would like to see him pan out.

Williams is my fave. He lives eats and breathes football, and seems to have more natural ability than physical traits. For whatever reason that's my kind of player. He idolizes Walter Payton and runs hills in Arizone like he did. He's more shifty than Starks with a similar burst and better hands so I think he can be better than Starks ever was.

I also like Aa. Jones as a third down threat. GB hasn't really had a guy like that, or at least haven't taken advantage of one in the passing game. He could be that guy finally - if they're willing to use him like that... Although Monty is a huge threat out of the backfield too but that hasn't materialized yet either.

Gotta go Kofi Amichia. Why? Because I have absolutely no clue who the hell he is. No one does. The ESPN draftniks who spend way too much time studying this shit looked stumped. I have to believe someone from scouting stumbled on to him sort of like Brad Delouiso back in the day. Or maybe it was Eastwoods daughter from Trouble With The Curve.

This guy is going to report to camp at 315, grab Langs old spot and we will all be praising Teddy ballgame for picking Kofi (who we all wanted all along...honest)

Knowing The Homer Bretsky likes Biegel makes me concerned about his long-term health

I agree with what wist says, although I think J. Jones has all the tools and will have a good career as he develops over the next couple years and outgrows some of his immaturity as a player that you're talking about wist. Shedding/avoiding blocks, timing, control, etc. is all coachable stuff.

lol good points, and I had already forgotten he was drafted. Guess he should have gotten arrested so we would know who he was. The J. Evans signing should give him some time to develop, hope maybe he can back up center too.

lol I'm all in with Kofi. Little known fact - he's a Ghanan prince I think....

This is where I'm supposed to say, 'Fits a need. Fills a void. Good upside. That means I finally hit one who I don't know. I did not write him up.... He's a big hulking looking guy....

Good value. Tough. Competitive. Smart. All that stuff I'm supposed to say when I don't have a clue.

NFL.com has the complete breakdown.

Leave it to Ted to find the one guy in the draft nobody knows. How can he not be great?

Loving the looks of Josh Jones, Safety, North Carolina State. Just a hunch, but something is telling me he's gonna be something special.

[Fritz]

Adams. Because TT's defensive line picks need all the help they can get.

Least excited about Biegel. His highlight film seems to feature him running up to the pile after the play is over.

Because everybody loves speed/size. I like football players. Not sold on the Ghostpepper. Pb says he needs a spicy name so I hereby dub thee Josh "the ghostpepper" Jones.

I love the Josh Jones, Adams, Williams, and Beigel picks. Favorite is probably J. Jones. He seems built for today's NFL and a swiss army athlete in the back of our Defense sounds awesome. Adams seemed like the biggest steal of the draft. Lots of talent there at an impact position. Williams seems perfectly tailored for what MM likes to do with RBs. Beigel will be fun to watch. I think you've got to give everybody a chance to succeed at OLB who has any potential there but its sweet to have a guy who can play inside as a plan B. They say the whole defense takes on the character of the middle linebacker; if that's the case we could do worse than Biegel.

King seems boom or bust to me so I'm trying to temper expectations. A potential big press corner with wheels is clearly worth taking a shot on. If he succeeds the defense will be transformed.

Take out "the". Make it just Josh "Ghostpepper" Jones.

[MadScientist]

My favorite will be whoever steps up and plays great. I'm hoping it is a battle between King and Jones, because that will really help the defense.

[mission]

I think King is the most likely to be a bust. Does anyone think Washington of all schools had three premier talents in their secondary? Seems unlikely.

How else could Washington -- WASHINGTON!? -- make it into the final four last year? When is the last time they've even been in the conversation? Their defense was insane.
Also probably why they got rolled up on... you don't need that many secondary guys against Alabama. Starts up front. Made a big difference in the Pac 12 though.

My surprise pick for actual impact/contributions is RB Aaron Jones. I'm still beating the Perine dead horse and wish we would have taken him but I just have a feeling that this kid is going to surprise us. I especially like his pass catching abilities to go along with the wiggle that he brings to the position.
