It's easy, and only takes a few moments.You know you're a draftnik when on the Pats final drive of the 4th Q when Dion Lewis goes down injured, your first thought is not, "damn, I hope we can win", but instead is "well that locks McCaffrey into our first pick"
Congrats to all you draft forum guys. A momentous game.
TE: mid round pick Adam Shaheen....Div 2 guy ... 6'7" 277lbs and quite mobile
CB first? So you think that Cyrus Jones is not good if Logan Ryan goes away. Rowe has pretty good game too. I think CB postion is fineI agree TE and IOL need to be looked at closer. 100% sure Bennett walks and Gronk is not reliable. We can hope but who knows. TE is a need and I might take a high IOL but I don't worry enough about it yet to take it in the first 2 rounds. Maybe Atlanta's young DTs are that good and Mason who got beat has been okay besides that game really most of the year.
Also LB was exposed on some of those big runs. Slow and could not get to the spot or pick the right gap and Ryan played well again and probably walks. Also DE besides Flowers made almost no impact (Long drew a key hold though).
Also Blount is done. He wasn't amazing for much of the year anyway but clearly was worn down by this game. He won't be dependable moving forward. Thank him for his service but it is time for him to hang them up IMO.
MY top needs.
#1 CB
#2 LB
#3 TE
#4 DE
#5 1st down back
#6 IOL (the only reason it is not higher is idk how much was Grady playing great vs Mason just having holes in his game exposed... Also with such a young group you want to see what another year can do but you don't want to go in having to depend entirely on this group again with no other options).
I think that is where i stand at this moment
Hey Manx. HAve a question for you. Werent you big fan of Grady Jerret. DO you know what is going on with another binky of yours. Marcus Hardison?You know you're a draftnik when on the Pats final drive of the 4th Q when Dion Lewis goes down injured, your first thought is not, "damn, I hope we can win", but instead is "well that locks McCaffrey into our first pick"

LB. Maybe Elandon Roberts emerges next year in coverage. dont know if he can. What about Mingo. More DE?
TE. Yes i agree that they ll let Bennet walk. And i am fine with that. But if he was really injured than maybe stays, if he is valauble to BB. What about future contract TE Housler and maybe big receiver Floyd. They need blocking TE so Mike Williams is back or Lengel emerges.
DE Sheard and Long arent super good so probably they need one trough draft.
RB Dont know about Blount, but this draft is good with RBs so ...
Oline Interesting that Mason was abused. In last games he was great and everyone writing how good he become in pass pro. This games he had some problems, but have to wait for film review. Ii still think that Andrews is weak link. No run game at the start really concerns me about how good our Oline really is. Some ppl said that Atlanta was mixing that Dline in unusual ways.
After the game, I think it's clear that ILB is the biggest possible upgrade spot. Rueben Foster is better in coverage and defending the run sideline to sideline than Van Noy/Roberts/McCellin. We have a chance to make that position go from a liability to a strength with the Jimmy G pick.
Trade up from 12 to 8 or 9 if we need to for Foster. I can't really think of any other spot on the team besides power RB that could be upgraded significantly (A rotation of JAGs across Flowers worked this season at DE and could work again next year I suppose).
This draft is going to make next year's team incredible.
