DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION 2017 NFL Draft, Day Two Game-Day Thread

[BradyFTW!]

McDowell's best fit is as 3-4 DE. Interesting pick by Seattle.

Makes sense, they used to have a lot of guys that fit a similar-ish profile. Red Bryant, Brandon Mebane, Tony McDaniel kinda. They've got fewer of those guys now, and McDowell physically is the real deal. Mentally who knows.

Who? Williams?

Yes

 

[WaterfallJumper]

I like Williams more than Hooker as a deep safety. We'll see who does better in the NFL.

 

[DefenseRules]

Damn when do the Pats pick?

 

[Ross12]

Damn when do the Pats pick?

#72. We are currently at pick #43.

 

[manxman2601]

Yes

Outstanding centre fielder.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Budda baker and Mathieu. Wow!

Yeah, they clearly don't buy into the whole 'undersized' thing. Between those two and Bucannon at LB, they're all about speed, aggression, and instincts across the middle of the defense. Baker definitely fits into that.

 

[long distance]

Falling well for Pats

30 picks to go 10+ Day 2 edge prospects remaining & still all Day 2 LB's

Saftey is deep as hell..

I heard this morning that draft viewership was up 20% on NFL*N over past years.

Hopefully that means ESPN is down that much.

I have normally watched the draft on ESPN but switched the the NFL*N this year because **** ESPN.

Damn when do the Pats pick?

 

[TBR]

Damn, Eagles picked Jones.

 

[manxman2601]

Eagles pick is interesting. Potentially a bargain.

 

[Wheelman]

Is Chidobe Awuzie still at the draft? I hope he is and doesn't get picked tonight. I've always wanted that to happen to a potential draftee and see how he reacts.

 

[Raymond]

Pat's may not pick till 10 ish.

pm that is

 

[patsinthesnow]

Might be time to consider if a gamble on Obi is worth 72 and 96

 

[jboston19]

Well, the dream of Sydney Jones is dead.

 

[zimmy]

Jones gone. Would have liked to have traded up for him if he got to around pick 60.

Moreau, Awuzie and Quincy Wilson still available though.

And I have no interest in a trade up for Obi. Doesn't strike me as a natural football player - great measurables but doesn't play to them, too conservative, questionable instincts.

Well a) not nice and b) No. king was the onnly one that came back apparently.

 

[Wheelman]

Well that solves that, thanks! Yeah not nice, but hey they're in the entertainment business. Entertain me!

Now I need to google some news about him and see how he took it.

A few minutes of draft coverage followed by what feels like endless advertisements. I'm suffering through NFLN's lag because ESPN's coverage was insufferable. Also, with the ability to superimpose ads, you'd think these dumb ****s would have worked out you can run ads and broadcast at the same time. No wonder digital is taking over.
