2017 NFL Draft, Day Three Game-Day Thread

[WaterfallJumper]

I liked Biegel better on tape than Watt, even though Watt tested better and had more production. Still, he's a natural long-term running mate / replacement for Clay Matthews. Good pick GB.

These 7 round 2-4 players Seattle drafted will probably determine the future of their team. Can't have another poor draft.

Russell Wilson is going to get killed even more than last season.

Hil & Thompson. Pete been visiting our draft forum?

Well, that was quick!
Bye Biegel

On a semi-random note: so many people talk about all the Pats' white WR. Has anyone looked at the Packers' LB corps?

 

[Husse]

What's the possibility of picking an OG and moving Mason to center? Wasn't that the projection for Mason anyway?

See you via trade in 3 more years, Kittle. I'll wait.

Don't you dare giving up on Kittle . as long as he's on the board he's ours to take NOW

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Curious to see who Seattle takes. So far, I LOVE their draft. Other than McDowell, who comes with serious motivation/character questions, look at this haul:

Ethan Pocic
Shaquill Griffin
Delano Hill (maybe ends up at corner with Seattle?)
Nazair Jones
Amara Darboh

Some of my favorites at each position. Ohhh, and the pick just came in -- Thompson is a legit backup to Earl Thomas. Wow. Very good for them.

Fun exercise: Go look through the team-by-team breakdown in the draft tracker, and look at how many drafts look very solid. I'm blown away by how deep this draft looks.

And yet the Pats looked at this same draft and basically said:

I'd love to take Kittle. I just don't see us picking a TE after we just traded for a guy today, and traded for another earlier this year, and still have another 5 or so under future contracts. Just seems like the writing is on the wall.

They've added some very good depth in their secondary.

That was just BB playing psychological games to keep our TE binkies on the baord

Factor in how stacked our team is, and for the Patriots it makes more sense to trade for proven guys with already defined roles. There are a LOT of good players in this year's draft class.

Two of my favorite safeties in Jackson and Jenkins. Looks like there's a run starting. Wonder if we take someone like Jason Thompson at 239. Great talent.

Eddie Jackson is a good pick for the Bears.

Tedric Thompson is a really interesting guy for Seattle. He may have the best range for any deep CF safety in this draft. He may also be the absolute worst tackler in the draft.

Here's the potential issue with all these trades:

S3: 2013 Harmon, 2014 Harmon, 2015 Harmon, 2016 Harmon
TE3: 2017 O'Shaughnessy, 2018 O'Shaughnessy, 2019 ??, 2020 ??

217 draft?????
I have never seen so many faux .pas pronouncing this year.

That's a great fit & opportunity for Perine.

 

[FoxboroFlyer]

Perine is gonna be good

 

[BobDigital]

Is it just me or do the Seahawks pick a lot of this board's draft binkies?

There goes Thompson - S

I really like what Washington has done so far. They should have 3 eventual starters on D with their first 3 picks and a really solid RB in Perine.
