Game Thread: Thee 2022 nfl draft

[Clayton]

So anyone have predictions for who you are taking in rd2?

I wouldn't be terribly shocked if the Chiefs doubled dipped at WR this round. Pickens and Calvin Austin. Something like that.

 

[QuestionSocratic]

Highly likely the Bills will draft Breece Hall or Kenny Walker IF either is available. They might need to move up if they can find a dance partner.

Really just depends if a team trades up in front of CLE bc as of right now I like the teams in front of CLE to target a position other than WR.

TB, MIN, TEN, NYG, HOU, NYJ, CHI, SEAx2, IND, ATL

I guess I would be worried about HOU and CHI. If Pickens isn't there then I think CLE should go DT. If both Hall and Jones are gone for DT then maybe Christian Watson, not a huge fan though.

Not a fan of the Eagles loading up on WRs to make their mediocre QB look better than he is, tbh. Weird strategy imo

So they should get him crappy receivers instead? I am not following your logic. The Eagles clearly are giving Hurts one more year to see if he can grow, and if not, targeting Qb next year when there are far more interesting prospects. Makes total sense.

Although now that rumors are floating around, Pickens might be one of the first players picked

I guess my issue is that you guys are going to win too many games next year to target QB. Or worse, you guys might not think you need a new QB

This thread? Lol. This is the NFL draft right?


Just asked you about the cowboys pick.. Rams don’t have a pick and you know how much I like to laugh.

Or enjoy being laughed at?

 

[justanidiot]

seems like the top teams are prepared to be the suitors for Julio Jones, Debo, and whoever else gets butt hurt if their team drafts their replacement.

The more I think about what the Pats did in round one the more I like it. Traded down eight spots and picked up selections in round three and 4. Historically BB drafts really well in these mid rounds. Picked up a guy not a lot of people knew a lot about but when I started researching him this morning I have come to like the kid. Yeah small school, needs another 15 lbs in the NFL thats not an issue, arguably the best run blocker in this draft, physical leaning toward nasty. I think early on he will lose some battles but we really really need IOL and we got one with additional picks.

Keep in mind that we have multiple first rounders next year, ours and the Saints pick. Who knows if either will be a high pick, but we may have ammo to trade up for a QB.

Everyone thought Dallas reached on Travis Frederick and he turned out to be a great pick, though unfortunately his career was derailed by illness. So maybe this guy pans out. But yes, it looks like a reach right now. Keep crying though, it's hilarious.

Here's where you point out an instance of someone crying

The Iggles are in a great position

Trading back has Bill written all over it but it was definitely a reach, no way around it. They could have drafted him late 2nd or early 3rd somewhere in there. He is rated the 6th guard and 86th overall. They got extra picks and filled a need but there was better talent on the board considering they could have picked him later.

Oh boy. Laughing the Pats and Cowboys picks yesterday offends you too? Imagine that

I'm torn. I get your point and don't personally think Hurts is an NFL QB at all, but I don't know if they liked any of the QBs in this draft so if the choices are shitty QB and shitty WRs or shitty QB and good WRs, if I'm Philly, I'm picking shitty QB and good WRs. I thought it was a great day for the Eagles

That would be utterly delicious

He is tauted as the best run blocking guard in the draft was he a reach maybe, would he be there in the third I don't think so.

Looks like the Packers fans weren't the only ones to fall for the ruse about getting WR help...

he was? I'm not disagreeing with you and never watched the kid, I just never heard that
