DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2022 NFL Draft Thread: Day 2

[upstater1]

They took Goedeke, a guard

Oh well, he was listed as a tackle in the many places I saw him mocked

Also announced as a tackle

Lolololol you may need to see a psychiatrist…god forbid I complain about our draft picks Lolol get a grip son

You've been a clown since yesterday, I don't need ANYONE to tell me that.
LEAVE ALREADY, YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING!

 

[Sam Bam Cunningham]

I don’t mind BB taking a swing for the fences. It’s actually refreshing. Maybe this kid won’t work out. But I like the fact that they’re trying to draft speed which they’ve never really had since Randy moss

 

[signbabybrady]

I haven't seen anything about STs for Thornton does he return kicks or punts?

 

[Rob0729]

Duggar is a JAG at best, he was invisible for his first few years. He was on the field for all 15 Buffalo TDs in the last two games, so yeah, he is great!

He has only played two years and was far from invisible last year. And he was injured towards the end of last year.

 

[PatsFan2]

Pats Offense needed a X-WR I have been harping on that all Offseason glad BB listened.

You're the Best DaBruins.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

I don’t think players are drafted in order of best, next best etc. There is usually substantial evaluation difference between teams of say players 20-70.
To be drafted you have to fit need, scheme and evaluation. Getting drafted at 62 doesn’t mean you are a worse player than the guy drafted at 28 necessarily. This is especially true with a position like NT that many teams don’t value highly.

That seems to make the most sense for me. I might have been thrown off by Jordan Davis going at 13. But I think his testing extraordinary athletic scores at the combine made thr Eagles think (and maybe the Ravens too, if rumors are true) that he could be more than just a typical NT and could provide more in pass rush at a later date. Whereas Jones looks like a typical NT… and those guys don’t play half the snaps anymore, and many teams don’t value the position at all to begin with. Appreciate the insight, thanks.

So we do know that he can immediately get us an extra step or three on every return -- so, on a team that covets spec. teams contributions, check,. We know he runs in the 4.2s. So on a team without a burner, hey, he can win the footrace. The knock is that he's not "physical," i.e., he's not N'Keal Harry, who was supposed to be your guy for "just throw it up and he'll beat up the other guy."

I dunno. We started a run on receivers, we started it with a guy who runs in the 4.2s, traded up 4 spots and called the need to do it perfectly.

We don't know how it turned out until we know. We also know we have a bad track record at the position. But guys who just know he's not worth the pick or the trade up, well, that's past me (as is anybody who is fitting him for a ROY t-shirt. But nobody here does that for our own picks, just for other peoples.)

 

[Patriot Missile]

Yah. Can you please mail me the pill you guys take. I would love to just agree with everyone everyone says about anything and be bliss. I’m a human. I have emotions

Dude, this draft business is such a crapshoot, you just never know what your gonna get. Tyreek Hill was a 5th rounder, Anquon Boldin like a 7th or udfa. We got speed at a position we have lacked for years, yeah, it might of been a overdraft but it might turn out to be a gold mine as well.

 

[tom444]

Ha, I’ve seen Moss and Rice in tshirts and shorts and they both looked like string beans. Didnt stop them one bit from being the two best ever.

Ha, Moss was much bigger than this bean pole.

6'4" 210 lbs. 40 yard dash time: 4.25 seconds

[50-yard-line]

Don't know anything about Thornton other than he's fast.

Really surprised they took a WR there (was thinking maybe Phillips much later on), particularly with Jones and Dean still sitting there (and Muma and Chenal and Anderson - now gone).

"Take Johnny Manzeil, he's the BEST!"

[Schmo]

Now I'm starting to wonder what the deal is with Travis Jones.

 

[billdog3484]

LEAVE ALREADY, YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING!

You should go cry about me staying

 

[PatsFan2]

I like Thornton's hands, obviously liked his speed, also though he made some nice cuts in his routes.

Was concerned that he looked like he was falling down a lot and he seemed to have a little trouble adjusting.

Hope he's not too fast for his own good.

Or for Mac's arm.

 

[Ring 6]

Duggar is a JAG at best, he was invisible for his first few years. He was on the field for all 15 Buffalo TDs in the last two games, so yeah, he is great!

Thanks for proving your ignorance.

 

[Boomer B]

Hopefully LB, CB, or possibly D-line in the 3rd for us.

 

[PatsFan2]

I'm not: I preferred the others but I liked him too hope he works out.

 

[long distance]

I have rock bottom expectations for this kid

whatever makes you float : )
