DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2022 NFL Draft Thread: Day 2

[Deus Irae]

For the Bucs, Marpet replacement found

 

[Schmo]

To all the gate-keepers of cheer:

Thornton is going to be amazing. Easy 1000yd receiver and will take the top off of every defense we play. Best selection of the draft.

 

[A.C Vegas]

KC was going to take him, I bet.

They traded with kc so no.

 

[PatsFan2]

KC was going to take him, I bet.

We should double dip for Calvin Austin III another speed demon.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

So you’re comparing Thornton to randy moss. But I need to shut up lol

STFU You Idiot, I thought you were leaving after last night you Cu.t!
All you do is WHINE, SHUT THE **** UP AND ENJOY THE DRAFT INSTEAD OF BEING A TOTAL DOUCHE.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

KC was going to take him, I bet.

If they were, why did they trade the pick to the Pats? That makes zero sense, stop trying to defend the indefesible

 

[Ring 6]

Thornton puts pressure on Agholor to figure out how to get separation.

Agholor issue is his cap hit not his play.
But you could assume they replaced him with Parker, so you have Parker, Bourne, Meyers if the rookie isn’t ready making agholor extremely tradable if anyone will take the contract. Since it’s the last year that may happen with a team flush with cap space. Getting anything back is gravy, it’s about the cap space.

 

[Big-T]

KC was going to take him, I bet.

That's what I'm thinking too - lost the speed guy, a lot of Thornton's highlights are him getting the ball 5-10 yards down field and hitting the afterburners too.

 

[Love The Drake]

That was my athletic comparison for him Moss and Robbie Anderson he’s a Clydesdale.
Now if they draft Jalent Tolbert or John Metchie WR could be fixedz

Pats jumped up, grab a receiver, and then a huge run on receivers takes place.

But.. But.. THat doesn't mean anything.. The Draftnicks say so.. .. But. but.. uhh... Thornton was a 5th round grade.. .. Pats are reaching too much.. uh uhg.. Cause the Draftnicks say so..

 

[goheels22002]

Rousing endorsement from Walter Football


Gave the same grade to Strange last night.

On the other hand he rated the Mac pick a D- last year so let's hope he nailed these two opinions just as well.

Those guys spend all year drinking their own kool-aid. The draftees are going to be rookies in a league so far beyond college football no one can know how they will do. How many NFL wins do Kiper or any of those nerds at Walter football have on their resumes?

And, for the record, I like Walter Football for what it is.

 

[Kasmir]

One thought: worth noting that BB traded up four spots to get a WR, and three of the next four picks are WRs.

I have no idea if anyone one else was coveting Thornton, but it does suggest they saw a likelihood he wouldn't be there at 54.

Probably got the intel on the WR run and had Thornton as the highest WR on their board and didn't want to chance losing him. Groh did say they wanted to get faster it doesn't get much faster than this guy, who may be the fastest player in this draft. Faster than Tyreek Hill and much faster than Waddle.

 

[ZoisKing]

So we got Logan Mankins and Randy Moss? Best draft ever?

 

[tom444]

Thorton highlight tape is impressive, he's got good size and hands. His body type and playing style kinda remind me of Randy Moss, just a smidge smaller.

If you saw Moss in shorts and a tee-shirt you know he was built a lot stronger than you would have thought.

 

[Patriots1993]

I have rock bottom expectations for this kid

 

[Since1960]

Why would we want the best

This isn’t even funny anymore, trading up in the second round for a guy with a 4th round grade.

And then seeing KC take a much better receiver with our original #54 pick. Let’s hope the free agency is *real* good next year….

I have blocked whomever you're responding to but this is priceless gold.. Thank you.. I am dying laughing..

 

[patsfan13]

Someone needs to go and forcibly take the keys away from BB!

exactly zero of these reach picks have worked out! This is Cunningham over Dunlap all over again!

Kyle Dugger says hi.

There's this thing called the "ignore" function.....
