Close. He's 14. Mom doesn't want him wasting a ton of time posting on sports message boards like his dad does. I'm curious to see what he does with the team this year.

 

[Ellis269]

Three DBs in the top 5?

There won't be any left for Denver.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Shhhhh

 

[Ellis269]

In all seriousness, the lack of quality QBs and OL hurts this draft. Although I have the feeling that a number of linemen will be drafted where they project and end up being steals down the road. Won't mention names, but there's a couple of guys that I think are seriously undervalued right now.

 

[Ellis269]

Wow. I love Fournette, but I didn't see him going this early.

 

[Draft Crazy]

I wouldn't be surprised... RB is a dime a dozen, but Fournette doesn't come around every year... Ezekiel went #4 last year,,, and trends are common when it pays off for a team.

That's true. I guess that I'm just old school and don't rank RB or G or ILB as high as most others. Those are the three easiest "plug and play" spots on the field. Fournette might be an impact player, but I'm just not the type to invest in that position that early. I don't have any of the RBs in my top 10.

She's probably right. It can lead him down a dark, lonely path.

That was the popular experts pick that I was referring to for Jacksonville in my earlier post. I don't see the need with Ivory and Yeldon there. They have bigger problems and should keep building that defense.

Great pick by San Diego. Allen was the other guy that I strongly considered taking at #2 with the 49ers. I guess there's some health concerns that might cause this exact scenario to play out. He has the potential to be the best player in the draft tbh.

Was hoping for one of those DB's going in, but Allen is a pretty good consolation prize and will fit what Bradley likes to do on D perfectly. Him, Bosa, and Ingram? Good luck blocking that.

A good contact of me claims the health concerns aren't a big deal... Some teams trying to put a little smoke with it hoping he will drop to them.

That was my thoughts as well. Lots of holes for the Bolts. . . but that's a solid D line foundation.

When I picked Solomon Thomas over him, it came down to upside and fit vs. overall talent. Allen is a supremely talented player, but I just think that Thomas has such high upside that it warranted the selection that high.

Browns must be ready to wet their collective pants about now.

 

[femurov]

I considered Allen for the Jags. Decided their front 7 was good enough and the secondary needed the help.more.

I would take Thomas over Allen as well. Doesn't have the health concerns however big or small those are. Beyond that at least for me watching teams were much more scared of Thomas than they were of Allen. Thomas was pretty much the one star player for Stanford on that DL so teams sent double and triple teams his way throughout most of the game and he still found ways to impact plays with his speed and underrated power. Allen had a lot of 1-on-1 chances to shine that won't be there as much in the pros. So I worry how he will handle the extra attention. Both good players though that I don't think you could go wrong with either.

 

[Draft Crazy]

No doubt Thomas over Allen.

 

[cdumler7]

Was hoping one of the top safeties, Lattimore, or Howard would fall to #12 and wait to take QB in the 2nd round but I really do like Trubisky as a QB with high upside. One of the few guys I saw his eyes going through multiple reads to find the right target.

...and there was much rejoicing.
