DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2022 NFL Draft Thread: Day 2

[Ian]

I only said it 10 times because 10 different people made comments that I responded to

LOL, it's called picking your battles. You're not required to reply to everyone

 

[farn]

Tik tok weirdos ? I mean. Does anyone actually want that ?

 

[BTTA]

Does BB think we are all set at LB ?

He might not see it as a priority, with Judon, McGrone, Uche, Wilson, Tavai providing high quality NFL speed and athleticism, plus the big safeties that will be used to cover RB's and TE's in passing downs.

 

[skinnydog]

Or a lot of teams don’t value the 0 tech anymore? I’ve read he can play other techs.

Yes, or at least he did in college

 

[JarOfMayo51]

****ing clowns trying to pretend to sustain a major injury on stage for a laugh

anything for attention these days

Ridder’s girlfriend looks like she could be the stock photo player girlfriend that’s shown when guys are drafted

 

[Ring 6]

Until last year her had lousy or mediocre drafts going back to 2012 and that’s compared to the rest of the league, so great coach, but mediocre at the draft.

The draft is one piece of roster building. If you build a strong team you have a lot of competition for those draft picks.
Crappy teams draft great because everyone they draft gets on the field.

In 2014 the patriots took a shot on Dominique Easley as a high risk pick with the potential to be a force. They could because they had built the best roster in the NFL.
Easley busted and they went to 4 of the next 5 SBs and won 3.
Bad pick? If you are the Jete, sure, if you are primed to dominate the next 5 years, the risk is worth it.

 

[The Gr8est]

I don’t understand. If “grades” and round projections are fact and proof of bad picks how do we explain Dean?

When the draft is over, there are going to be players who weren't drafted and no one understands why.

And that will be based on the projections of experts, who were wrong.

 

[PatsFan2]

Fourth round flier give him year off.

 

[Ring 6]

Hate? Come on. Im just frustrated with the picks. Come on

You said you were no longer a patriot fan. How is thanks hate?

 

[WhatJustHappened]

I don't see Marriotta helping him much, Marcus needs to make $ NOW, or NEVER.

Injury

 

[Patriot Missile]

I wonder if they take Raimann at this point with Wynn possibly gone next year

Like to know what his deal is? Potential first rounder.

 

[Ian]

Thornton sort of reminds me of Jeff Demps (remember him?). Fast kid who was an Olympian and was a running back they had high hopes for. But he lost a bunch of weight to compete in 2012 (I believe he won a metal) and came back before he put the weight back on and got hurt and was lost for the year. But he was absolutely terrific prior to going down.

If he can put some weight on, he looks like a pretty good player. Guessing they'll try and get him out in space and use his speed that way and Mac definitely throws a good ball where most guys do pretty well after the catch. I'm kind of excited, especially given the group they have right now. Doesn't have to be a star this year and can just outrun somebody's 3rd or 4th corner and make plays.

Exactly.
I am going to predict your next 20 meals. But im sorry if you don’t eat what I predicted you have no clue how to eat.

 

[ZoisKing]

Ten more picks.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

This is twice today that the Texans jumped in front of the Ravens. And 3rd time overall for the Ravens.

And for Christian Harris, another Bama guy. Another LB off the board.

 

[dex13]

what the....Texans with back2back Bama picks.

 

[Ian]

LOL, let's not drag this out. The guy was upset and went a little crazy. Let's try and talk him off the ledge and get him back on the couch to watch the rest of the draft

 

[Ring 6]

I was in a book store reading car mags the summer the Patriots got Moss. All of a sudden I notice this tall guy to my right with legs like a racehorse and thick arms. Thin overall, yes, but fairly muscular. I looked at him a few times then realized it was Moss. My point is Moss was more muscular than I would have thought.

Dude buy the magazine, the bookstore isn’t your personal free library. The guy who owns it has kids and a mortgage.
