Official Day 2 (Rounds 2&3) Of NFL Draft Thread

[HarveyWallbangers]

My thoughts so far: after Paris Johnson and Skoronski were gone, I felt it was either going to be Murphy or Van Ness in round 1. No surprise there. I like the Musgrave pick. My least favorite is Reed. Normally, that would mean that Reed will be the best, but I was pretty spot on with Watson and Tom being my favorite picks last year.

[HarveyWallbangers]

They did pick up two extra picks, so there's that in regards to Reed. I kind of felt Washington may have been a bit overrated. He tested well, but his actual tape looks like he's running in cement. I just don't see a guy who would ever get you 600+ yards receiving.

I think after the top guys there wasn't much at OT, and Gute read the EDGEs were going to go on a run so he took his guy.

Packers trade #45 to Lions for #48 and #159
Packers trade #48 to Buccaneers for #50 and #179
They still have ten picks.

Word is Darnell Washington has a medical flag.

Jalin Hyatt still out there too. I think they go DL in R3 unless they move up for a specific guy. The TE run has largely happened. Schoonmaker off the board.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Kraft, Whyle, and Strange are still there, right? Kuntz would be a flier on athleticism. Higgins as a WR concert is intriguing. Then, Durham or Allen later as an inline complement to Musgrave.

Damn - Eagles just took the Safety I liked - Sydney Brown

[George Cumby]

dude looks pretty awesome

why did so many people have him so low?

Lots to like there.

Almost always gets away from the first tackle, fast feet, nimble, heady.

Yeah I wanted him to fall to the Packers. He went earlier than I expected. Maybe the Packers can get his brother.

Tucker Kraft

[Fosco33]

Now we just trolling karon

[run pMc]

tucker Kraft is a poor man's Michael Mayer. Not a bad pick. Decent value in R3 for where he was on a lot of boards.
Can he break the R3 curse?

He can play inline (Y). The TE room just got interesting with Kraft and Musgrave. Big infusion of size and athleticism.

Here's Kraft's RAS card --

Alabama was supposedly trying to get him to transfer and offered him a bunch of NIL money and he turned it down to stay at SDSU.
He draws a bit-too-on-the-nose comparisons to Dallas Goddart (same school) but I think he could be a good pick by Year 3. Depends on what's between the ears.

Between Kraft and Musgrave, the days of lower RAS TEs like Sternberger are gone. These are big guys who can run, and if they go 12 personnel could have some fun. MLF must be very happy.

[MadScientist]

At least this 3rd round TE has a RAS score in the 9's instead of the 5's, so maybe he won't suck like Dick-Rod and Nothingberger.

Yeah, both these guys have a RAS above 9.5, which is bonkers. Musgrave is probably going to be Tonyan (F) and Kraft more the Lewis (Y) role, with some interchangeability. These guys will be faster than most LBs and much bigger than any safety.

[sharpe1027]

Maybe our QB new will throw to them and attack the middle of the field a bit more.

[run pMc]

I would expect they will. We'll see about that old adage about a TE being a young QB's best friend as an outlet receiver.

Are they done at TE? Do they look at Josh Whyle on Day 3?
I hae to think they will start looking at defense (DL and S) next. There are many top-100 players out there
