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

[BaconGrundleCandy]

I don't recall being this pleased with a round since we took Hightower and Jones a few picks apart in 2012. We might look at these two as similar quality players in a couple years.

Agreed. I loved both those picks and love these the same. Can't believe we got Rivers!

It won't hit most til we see em on the field, obviously, but I think Rivers is a favorite by early Sept

The BC safety goes to the Rams. Thought he'd be a Pat.

 

[Tony2046]

Id like to see johnson go to green bay

Look. He might be a little rough around the edges at times but he is a great poster and I don't think a Packer forum could handle him.

Holy pass rush.

That move and others was in the video that was posted a few pages ago. For anyone that is interested. I'm sure the video will be reposted in the Derek Rivers thread

Ok, I'm finishing up here and I need to get some small bite for dinner.

To those who had to put up with my horseplay in this thread, I hope I helped you pass the time.

Later and/or goodnight, folks!

It's funny that there are now a number of guys in the league named Shaq. In about 6 years they'll have their jobs taken by guys named Kobe.

Appreciate your input throughout the draft, Deus. As well as everyone here who has been watching.

Our guy Hill gone

Still lots of good S options there later: (Jackson), Jenkins, Gerry, David Jones, J Ford, Nicholson, Luani

Nice by pitt. Sutton is nice

 

[Patriot Missile]

Josh Norris from rotoworld had Rivers at 24 and Garcia at 44 for his top 150 list.

I'm not pleased with what we got to trade down and what we gave up to trade up, but whatever. We wouldn't have had many spots open on the roster anyways.

Didn't it just amount to going from 72 & 96 to 83 and 85? I think we used the same pick we received from the first trade. Made for a more convenient night for Bill, at any rate.

Downright embarrassed for these sorry ass eagles fans.

Losing the #200 pick is the one that bothers me. I feel like in that case we should have got another pick from the Lions as well.

Our old front office personnel fleeced us a little, but like I said we didn't have many spots available and if these players pan out, it'll become a non-issue.

 

[long distance]

a 3rd and a 4th for 11 spots?

No - its for Garcia actually - Dante's choice Id guess - a high 2018 need with Solder likely leaving and Fleming UDFA as well.

There's not much space on the roster for picks anyway.

Good trade.

 

[shmessy]

Well he's smart then because he wasn't wrong.

C'mon, the comments section under it is pretty damn funny!

 

[Tony2046]

Seems we traded the 4th rounder to move up. But that makes absolutely no sense at all.

According to the Draft value chart it's a fair exchange of value.

Didn't we trade down and get the 4 which we used to trade up the same number of spots?

 

[Tony2046]

J-E-T-E!!!!

If you haven't already this needs to go into Tunes thread.

No nonsense guy
