NFL Draft Talk

Not open for further replies.
I replied to myself on purpose.
 
Alright whatever. Moving on.
 
You literally schizo'd out and replied to yourself, forgetting you were on the same account.
I purposely responded to apologize to the already being discussed avatar Steve put up.

I felt that was the gentleman thing to do.

I only have one account lol I am way too busy with contracts and clients to juggle more than 1.

If we think members have more than 1 account have 2 step or verify set up on the site.

lol
 
Found this pre-draft report on Pickens from The Athletic

For a recent Athletic post, Bruce Feldman picked the brain of several scouts and position coaches. When the topic of this year’s “most boom-or-bust” receiver came up, several responses highlighted Pickens.

“George Pickens,” an unnamed scout said. “There’s a lot of upside, but he can’t get out of his own way. He’s been enabled his whole life.”

A wide receiver coach shared similar sentiments, explaining that no amount of talent could convince him to draft the Georgia Bulldog.

Pickens. You love his game, but there’s some issues. Do you want to work with him? He’s a top-6 talent-wise, but it’s impossible not to add those other things. He has the size, has really good range. He positions his body on deep throws. He consistently beats press coverage. Has good start-stops with some AI (Allen Iverson) crossover in his game. A lot of the stuff in (Todd Monken’s) system translates to the NFL. But I wouldn’t touch him.

Wide Receiver Coach 3 speaking to Bruce Feldman of The Athletic

Another coach even broke out the dreaded pre-draft term: red flags.

“On tape, he is probably a top-5 wide receiver but there’s just so many red flags, and they’re big red flags. He’s got a lot of growing up to do,” the anonymous Wide Receiver Coach 5 explained. “If he goes to the right place with a room full of veterans that help him go the right way, I think he’ll have a chance.”
not a question if he has red flags, but for a 4th? Thats worth the risk probably
 

Could QBs go 1,2,3? Not impossible. Highly unlikely. My guess is the Giants trade down if they are going for Dart.
 
This thread went in the crapper pretty fast.

 
Are we seriously going to pick a RB at 4th? We were saying no in this forum to Barkley 2 years ago, I think, for 12M per.

I am a big believer in RBs but it would be absurd to spend a 4th on one when they can be had in FA for cheap.

Anything other than OL, DE or WR at 4th would be madness.

Vegas has Jeanty going 4th. Edit: I misread. Vegas has him at 5.
