DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION 2017 NFL Draft, Day Two Game-Day Thread

[Lombardi#5]

Not bad. I like it.

No position is more about measurables than edge rusher. I'll take it.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Thanks for the spoilers.

Love this pick. I didn't think we would look at him since he's sub-250, but he's got shockingly refined hands as a pass rusher, and he was crazy productive over the last few years. Very happy with the results.

 

[AtomicDawg]

BUT CAN HE RUSH THE PASSER???

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Butts the TE? From Michigan? I thought he was a 1st day pick?

until he tore his ACL

Very good, but slightly undersized pass rusher. Bends the edge like a bendy thing though.

Protypical size for a 3-4 OLB. just what BB wants. He sets the edge, pass rush potential. Love the pick,I asked your opinion earlier of him Didnt I?

 

[manxman2601]

I thought he was smaller than we usually take but I'm very happy with the pick. A genuine pass rusher.

 

[Deus Irae]

They actually picked?!

One executive distracted BB while another one ran up to the podium before a trade could be made.

 

[fightingirish595]

Rivers is better than Williams and bowser, and thats unbiased

 

[Patriot Missile]

Really like this pick.

 

[Deus Irae]

And now they've traded up to #85, per Howe.


Did BB go to the bathroom and leave someone else in charge, or something?

Pats trade UP to 85!

 

[IllegalContact]

Rivers is one helluva athlete

I see him being scheme flexible

 

[IllegalContact]

Pats trade UP to 85!

Too much too soon .....I need air

Garcia, Davenport, Asiata?

Rivers is an excellent excellent pick. Belichick is the best GM in football period.
