Official 2018 nfl draft thread

If McGlinchy is there, it's a possibility. In fact, Draft Analyst has him #14 on their Big Board. Personally, I don't like the idea of taking a guy who's probably going to play RT at #14. I think that's too high a spot for a RT.

OK, so Dorsey is proving to be the one (former) Packer insider who talks all the time to the media, by name and anonymously. He has to have been the source for most of McGinn's material for 20 years.

Today he spun a tale of the Browns taking Mayfield. Its either true or a tale to get the Jets to trade up with them.

However, if it were actually accurate, Darnold falling might get someone to trade up for the QB with the highest pro floor. That could move either the Giants, Browns or Broncos down the board, teams who might take a defender.

So I think I am rooting for this to happen. But I think the pick is still Darnold.

word is the browns are locked in on baker mayfield at #1

smart move IMO, to me him and rosen are the only two legit QBs in that first tier.

also, out of the blue on draft day, mcginn came out and said the packers wanted bulaga to take a pay cut but he refused. could we be looking at a LT at 14?

You're kidding right? In February Baker Mayfield was listed as a 2nd-3rd round selection...he has bust written all over him. I'm willing to bet Mayfield is out of the league in 3-4 years, just like Johnny football.

I don't think he'll bust, but I don't buy that he is the pick.

John Dorsey probably isn't kidding when he says hand size matters.

In football.

Story making the rounds is that Dorsey told Hue Jackson they are taking Mayfield yesterday. Today its all over the news. Now Dorsey knows where the leaks are coming from

HA...true

Between Chicago and Tampa Bay, someone is taking a DB according to mocks done today. Which means if the board falls the way most mocks pick it, moving to 9 gets you Fitz, James Edminds or Smith.

If you want Ward, you need to either get to #7 or #8 at a minimum.

Last season 47% of his passes were screen/bubble passes. I can complete 80% of those. Oklahoma threw more screen/bubble plays than anyone in the country.


Anyone else see the Packers are looking to move up to get Fitzpatrick?

[pbmax]

He is very in love with engaging with the blocker, but he doesn't land his hands like he is planning a bull rush. Just a kinda belly bump. Lets the OT get his hands on his jersey and then its a dance.

When he lands his hands first, he's hard to control. I am less worried about this pick after that video. Work in progress, but holy cow he could be hard to control.

Finally finished watching. He has some vision and is better staying at home versus option than Matthews.

But he's not lightning quick and has trouble disengaging from the tackle when they get locked up. Way too much fighting. Lotta leverage when he gets his hands in a good spot.

Needs a lot of work. Love to have him but still not sure about 14.

But hard to say, don't remember watching many 6' 7" guys. He gets pushed around a little TE took him for a ride on a run (he played the run OK for the most part) by just getting hands on his shoulder pads.

Yes on moving up. Fitz or Ward is theory.

They ran a comparison of short throws. Mayfield threw downfield more than Allen. I'll see if I can find it.

get the fucking thing started already

draft seemingly starts at 8...what's the over/under on the first pick?

So much for Goodell's human boo shield of two Cowboy hall of famers and future HOFer - they booed longly and lustily. Staubach looked pretty uncomfortable.
