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

[BaconGrundleCandy]

I remember bringing up the Youngstown St guys months ago and quickly fell in love with Rivers. Nuanced pass rusher but also makes an impact in the run game.

Legit binkie. Top 5 RUSH for me.

Guys we just got a ****in steal.



173 career tackles, 56 1/2 tackles for loss, 41 sacks and 48 quarterback hurries.

His next pick better be a QB......

In effect, the Patriots draft has been the following:

1. Trade Round 1 for Brandin Cooks
2. Trade Round 2 for Kony Ealy
3. Trade back into mid Round 3 for Derek Rivers, DE
4. Trade forward into mid Round 3 for Antonio Garcia, OT

The Patriots are having a good old time of it (and I love it).

Today I learned, that any team that has ever won a championship can be called the "World Champion ____"

Looking forward to the World Champion Browns next pick!

 

[VJCPatriot]

And the pick is Antonio Garcia! Another long athletic OL to help protect the franchise. Looking forward to seeing Dante polish this guy into a diamond hopefully!!

6'6 302 and long arms.

Scouting report:
Antonio Garcia, OT, Troy

Needs to put on some muscle and mass but with his high end agility and athleticism could turn out into a starter quality tackle:

As long as he's breathing, he's an upgrade over Mingo.

Dorian Johnsomn needs to go in the next two picks

 

[shmessy]

This man really confused on who won or who the superbowl works

He must love boating.

Patriots picks Rivers and Garcia will help with depth and play a huge role for the 2018 team..

 

[JMC00]

a 3rd and a 4th for 11 spots?

The 4th was from the trade back they made at 72..

 

[BobDigital]

Overall a good night. Sadly we didn't get any help at LB which i think is too bad as I don't like the guys available tomorrow but you never know right?

That is right now IMO the only hole on this team. #2 LB.

 

[Deus Irae]

So, with Garcia being picked...

Who just lost a job?

 

[AtomicDawg]

J-E-T-E!!!!

 

[kennyb]

4th to move up 12 spots is expensive. Hope it was worth it.

BB seems to like McClellin/vannoy/Roberts/freeny in that role.
