DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION 2024 Draft Day 3 LIVE Discussion Thread

Allegedly..

Okay, so they missed on Franklin.
It happens.

That doesn't justify drafting a guard at #103, the lowest position of need entering the draft.

 

[Ross12]

I think he was put on waivers before and no one bit

that did happen, but it was at 53 man roster cutdowns. So teams had already gotten their QB situations settled. He is much more likely to have a market now. Some team may need a reliable 3rd guy still, or may have been looking to draft a QB late and missed out on their guy. Still all spring and summer left for Zappe to integrate into their offense.

Pats can now throw a Hail Mary from their own 1 yard line.

0.25" line

I might be weird but I like Baker more than Franklin anyway.

I was never a Franklin fan from the beginning, but it’s interesting seeing who they were targeting nonetheless..

I'm getting really sick and tired of this line coming out of Foxboro.

There are a couple of corners on the board I like better, but this is fine. At least it fills the Myles Bryant spot.

Dude is like anti Myles Bryant - not short, explosive, great top end speed, but poor agility.

Damn Jenny
She’s never home when I call

Oh she's home...

Who is? Dial?

Throwing competitions between Maye and Milton trying to outdo one another

I love what Wolfe is doing in bringing in a lot of competition at all these key positions. Receiver is loaded up with young skilled players who have to compete for those spots.

Meanwhile Maye himself will have just a little heat behind him. Milton may suck overall but he’s another rookie who wants to prove himself.

Nothing is given on this team. There’s few vets who are guaranteed their job but a lot of young players and rookies who have to work their asses off.

RB Dylan Laube finally drafted, by the Raiders.

Even though he is from a small football program (UNH), I thought he would go sooner than #208.

Yeah, people highlight the fact that they have 11 receivers but you need that many for your 90 man roster ultimately. It’s just that usually 4 or 5 of them are camp bodies. In our case most of them have a chance at a starting job if they beat out their competition. May the best man win.

I am looking forward to preseason games in the 4th quarter watching Joe Milton air it out to a 3 receiver set of Javon Baker, Juju Smith-Schuster and Jalen Reagor against the other team’s scrubs.

Unfortunately, but (it may serve him well) there aren’t any Waffle Houses in Buffalo haha.

The draft WR's will be 100% to make the 53. Every player drafted in the 4th round who wasn't on IR on cutdown day made the 53. So, they will NOT be competing for "spots'. They will be competing for reps.

 

[The Gr8est]

If any of you aren’t feeling it from this draft weekend, how do you think this guy feels?

 

[jmt57]

The pick used on Miton was obtained in the Mac Jones trade.

The next/last pick was obtained in the N'Keal Harry trade.


Does that mean WR Jalen Coker, Holy Cross?

 

[rabidfireweasel]

I'm sorry. I can NOT take Wolf seriously. A 2nd f'in QB? REALLY? How f'in STUPID.

As for DIAL. *SMH* he may or may not amount to anything other than a special teams player.

First, it’s a 6th round pick, which has a hit rate of less than 10%. So a miss here is expected and your rage is just kind of silly. On the plus side, if Milton makes the team, he is a super cheap 3rd QB. They can run exactly the same offense with Brissett, Maye or Milton. Zappe can’t run that same offense. Plus, some competition behind Maye is a good thing. He will have to push his fundamentals because he may not be the most physically gifted QB in the room.

Granted- Milton only has a 10% chance to make the team. But if he earns it- there is upside to the pick
