Picks you don't like?

Nate Wiggins 95% of Pro Bowl CBs had arm length over 50th percentile. WIggins is 18th percentile, and his weight is 2nd percentile. Tall, skinny, and short arms.

JC Latham I don't really have negative feeling toward him, but passing on Odunze and Bowers is a mistake, IMO

Bo Nix I am simply a huge fan of everything the Broncos have been doing for the last several years.

Chop Robinson If you were to bet money on every freaky edge who didn't really produce in college, but has the tools, and needs to be coached up, you would make a lot of money. The other guy, who went later, was better.

Darius Robinson Didn't produce till he was older than everyone else. This is a problem.

Ricky Pearsall
Xavier Legette After 4 years in college, both these guys were undraftable. Now they are 1st rounders.

 

[JohnnyU]

I'm interested in the landing spots for Jaylen Wright, Ray Davis and Bucky Irving.

 

[skol asylum]

This Troy Franklin WR looks interesting. I see he was rated pretty highly but got sick, lost some weight, and had bad testing numbers because of it? Maybe MN takes a chance on him at 108 as a field stretcher to open up Jets, Addison, and TJ?

 

[Mister CIA]

Really starting to think my Zach Evans shares are in peril.

Let's hope for some Evans to Dallas chatter so that we can keep the dream alive.

@Capella and the entire Shark Pool

-Do we have any updates on Jordan Travis from FSU?
I know it was a brutal leg injury but thee current athlete and modern medicine seem to overcome things and I expect him to be ready to play football at some point.
This guy was pretty darn good prior to the injury

Is a 4th-5th round pick too much to develop Travis for 1-2 years? Teams might get the same outcome as the Falcons drafting Penix, there I said it
How long do you allow the Falcons to have the best back up in the NFL?

 

[miqws]

I missed the news that the Panthers hired Edward Snowden for their front office.

I was thinking how I could like him as a 6th round pick as someone to develop behind Stroud as a long term backup. Wouldn't need him this year but then Mills and Keenum's contracts would be up.

Whelp there he goes. Ol' pucker lips stole him away.

 

[Dez]

All my Mims picks looking pretty bad last year. I drafted him all over the place in rookie drafts was very high on him. Not great Bob. the guy on NFL network just referenced Mims as "their kick returner" Yikes

I think Franklin has character concerns as well.

Teaming up with his college QB. Kind of cool

 

[Max Power]

I like both Sanders and Franklin's landing spots. Probably end of rd 2/early 3rd rookie picks

 

[miqws]

Hey Jerry - Dallas does not pick until late 5th.
Jerry - hold on, I am talking with Zeke

Ricky Pearsall
Xavier Legette After 4 years in college, both these guys were undraftable. Now they are 1st rounders.

Agree on all of these except Latham- their offensive line was desperate for help. It was a huge huge problem for them last year.

Atlanta has made a mess of this draft. No clue what they are doing.

Ricky Pearsall in round 1? I don't get it. Real nice athlete but he's a late bloomer, never very dominant and turns 24 in September.

Jonathan Brooks. I like the player but the Panthers have so many other pressing needs that using a 2nd round pick on a RB coming off an ACL tear just doesn't make sense to me. Zach Frazier would have filled a need at C and finished off their revamped OL, Kneeland was there and we know edge is a problem for them, Rakestraw would have helped since they lost 2 CBs this offseason,

[skol asylum]

Doesn't sound like a great pick for Minnesota. Kwesi continuing the poor mid/late production of Rick?

Khyree Jackson Has Troubling Football Resume

Foreign cheese head alert

Hard to take early in the morning after having a NFL draft hangover from last night.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I like the Walker pick for Baltimore, mostly because he's the only WR left I know by name

 

[skol asylum]

This guy nailed the Khyree pick.

Best available players for the Vikings in Rounds 4-7: Khyree Jackson, Will Reichard

After having no picks on Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft, here's a handful of players the Vikings should consider in Rounds 4-7.

Dan Kelly #1 QB in this draft is Joe Milton and gave all the top QBs 3rd grades. So if he doesn't like a player I would take that as a positive.

 

[BassNBrew]

There you go Bryce. New WR1/2, new RB1, new TE1.

 

[Ilov80s]

Bummer for fantasy to see Jaylen Wright headed to Miami.

 

[SoBeDad]

Chop Robinson If you were to bet money on every freaky edge who didn't really produce in college, but has the tools, and needs to be coached up, you would make a lot of money. The other guy, who went later, was better.

To be determined. Chop didn't get many sacks (neither did Micah in college), but his pressure rate was the highest in the class. I think he's a liability against the run. I don't think there was a better edge after Latu, Turner & Verse were drafted. But there was a safer pick in Barton.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Mason McCormick, South Dakota State, G goes to Steelers at 119.

9.96 RAS is 8th all- time out of 1583 OG from 1987 to 2024.

The tape is even better.

Can play Center. Called the line protection from LG. Terrific East-West Shrine Bowl and crushed the Combine.

Pittsburgh rebuilt its OL over the last 3 days. What. A. Pick. Every other team that needs IOL is sad rn.

---

ETA

The Steelers have already spent 3 of their first 5 picks on OL this draft:

- OT Troy Fautanu
- C Zach Frazier
- OG Mason McCormick

---

Bears



OK Punter is crazy for the 4th Round but whatever. You do you CHI.

 

[Snoopy]

Punter in the 4th?

 

[Dez]

I'm interested in the landing spots for Jaylen Wright, Ray Davis and Bucky Irving.

Miami for Wright

 

[SoBeDad]

Bummer for fantasy to see Jaylen Wright headed to Miami.

A 2025 3rd, comp pick I think, for a 2024 4th. No value in fantasy for any Miami RB.

 

[QuizGuy66]

So half of the Bears draft class is comprised of ivy Leaguers and punters

[jon_mx]

This should be the theme song for the rest of the draft.

 

[Dez]

Stover to Houston with 2 other good TE's already there

More like cutting the cheese

 

[JohnnyU]

Punter in the 4th?

Ray Guy (RIP) was selected in the 1st. round (23 rd overall).

 

[Dez]

Bucky to TB does that affect White at all or is Bucky just a backup ?

 

[BobbyLayne]

Punter in the 4th?

Ray Guy (RIP) was selected in the 1st. round (23 rd overall).

The 1973 Raiders had 17 draft picks.

The 2024 Bears had 4. So many good players on the board. WITW

 

[Chaos34]

Can't believe the Lions took Manu. lol
He's a monster. He is not a football player. He's a monster. Literally. I thought he'd be a fun udfa somewhere, but never thought he'd get drafted.

He's 6-9 350 with abs, no fat on him. He's a super athlete. He played in a tiny Canadian college league. The film is a riot. This monster blocking 6' 220 pound defensive ends. I laughed for ten minutes watching the youtube. Monster. Not a football player. Fun pick.

eta: the PFF draft guy who knows EVERYBODY on his 300 player big board was like: Manu? What who? Canada? Yeah, I didn't watch him, oh well. haha

 

[GregR]

So what's up with TJ Tampa? Just read an article devoted to why he's sliding, which really offered nothing on why he's sliding. Any rumors out there of medical or gas masks or something?

 

[BobbyLayne]

Lions trade in with a future 3rd

Can't believe the Lions took Manu. lol

Lived in Tonga until he was 11. First UBC player drafted since 2016. Went on 11 Top 30 visits so not surprising he got drafted but still, ultra rare for a Canadian player to get picked.

 

[SoBeDad]

Bummer for fantasy to see Jaylen Wright headed to Miami.

A 2025 3rd, comp pick I think, for a 2024 4th. No value in fantasy for any Miami RB.

Like they say, there's only 1 ball. And Miami threw a curveball with this selection with 2 great RBs already on the team. It was a value pick at 120, but I was expecting a tradeup to get a DB, or oline/dline help.

 

[JohnnyU]

Ray Davis to the Bills. Interesting. He will get run in 2024.

 

[Chaos34]

Also, hope you guys finally realize what an OL nerd I am actually scouting out Giovanni Manu. lol

Hey Dallas lost two very important OL pieces. I left no stone unturned.

 

[-OZ-]

My prediction: Sweat is the worst pick of the draft. Titans may have another Isaiah Wilson on their hands.

Really disagree here but there is risk.

Love the Cedric Gray pick.

 

[JohnnyU]

Shipley to the Eagles meh for fantasy…….right now. Interesting pick long term and could carve out a Swift role.

 

[Dez]

RB run

 

[Mister CIA]

New Chief's rally cry - Take the trophy again!

 

[-OZ-]

This should be the theme song for the rest of the draft.

I expected This

 

[Chaos34]

I love the Lions. Vaki. lol
He plays safety but was awesome at RB. Probably the best special teamer in the draft.
