OFFICIAL FIRST ROUND DRAFT DAY THREAD

[run pMc]

What are the GMs smoking? Kyler Murray a year after Rosen? Ferrell at #4? Jones at #6? Josh Allen falls to 7?

Do GMs realize they are handing fans reasons to think they know more than the GMs?

NFL draft profile: Josh Allen
Josh Allen is an edge rusher out of Kentucky with a quick first step and great closing speed.

Pre-Draft Analysis
Allen has a quick first step, good torso flexibility and outstanding closing speed. He made substantial strides as a hand fighter in 2018 and looks to cause turnovers when he gets to the quarterback. He's a good tackler and rangy run-defender.

Post-Draft Analysis
Jacksonville makes the wise move and overlooks more pressing needs in favor of talent and value (Allen was our No. 5 prospect). With Calais Campbell turning 33 this year and last year's first-round pick Taven Bryan potentially moving to 3-technique, look for Allen to make an immediate impact as a pass-rusher and push for a three-down role in time. -- Steve Muench

yup
there are a shitload of very good OT's

Lots of lineman. Rodgers would appreciate it

[run pMc]

I am actually relieved it won't be a TE at 12.

Fant is still available.

[pittstang5]

Pack should trade down now

[Bretsky]

Dillard and Simmons looming like they might be our guy. Maybe Williams or Taylor too. Or a surprise lineman

If Bush goes gotta trade down and then nab a OT

LIONS: TE T.J. Hockenson

NFL draft profile: T.J. Hockenson
Iowa's T.J. Hockenson is a weapon in the passing game and an above-average blocker, and he has an outstanding combination of height, weight, playing speed and strength.

Pre-Draft Analysis
Hockenson is the rare tight end coming out of college who is a weapon in the passing game and as a blocker. He's a naturally instinctive route runner with an outstanding combination of height, weight, playing speed and strength. He has exceptional ball skills.

Post-Draft Analysis
The Lions came into the draft looking to add weapons for quarterback Matthew Stafford and improve a running game that ranked 23rd in rushing yards per game last year. Adding Hockenson accomplishes both. Look for him to win the starting job early. -- Steve Muench

BILLS: DT Ed Oliver

6'2", 287 lbs
Houston

2 POS RK
3 OVR RK
94 GRADE

NFL draft profile: Ed Oliver
Ed Oliver is a great interior defender with violent hands and elite first-step quickness.

Pre-Draft Analysis
Oliver is a highly disruptive, one-gap run-defender with good instincts and elite first-step quickness. He has excellent range and makes plays in pursuit. He has violent hands but is undersized with shorter arms and needs to play in a one-gap scheme to be at his best. He hasn't realized his considerable potential when it comes to getting to the quarterback.

FUCK

STEELERS JUST WENT UP TO GET BUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
