DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION 2024 Draft Day LIVE Discussion Thread Day 2

[Wozzy]

NFL scouts don't publish mock drafts. Mel Kiper and his clones publish mock drafts.
They know much less what NFL scouts know.

1/2-2/3rd's of NFL franchises are run by A-holes, total morons.

Remember stories about Brian Flores interviewing with the Broncos former brain trust, and him saying they showed up drunk.

Or what about Washington's head coach Jay Gruden benching his best third down back because the player was screwing the woman coach was cheating on his wife with... then a pass rusher slaughtered Alex Smith because his RB missed a block, nearly got him killed and ended his career early.

Saying people are "professionals," so everything is a smart move isn't supported by history or facts.

I'd have taken any of these over Wallace

 

[signbabybrady]

Can you show us a mock that had Wallace above a 6th round pick?

I don’t know the kid, but a few people like him, so we will have to wait & see

49ers 7-round NFL mock draft: Loading up on linemen and adding another McCaffrey

Neither writer chose an offensive tackle in the first round, but both came back with one in the second ... and again in the fourth.

So why the hell is he on the phone??

 

[Thunderhead]

I don't know **** relative to anyone reporting on the draft or making picks - that's a given. But when our second and third picks are both players I'd never heard mentioned a single time, just complete off the radar picks, I think "here we go again".

Bill's departure is a huge deal, but the top two remaining decisions makers (leave out ownership) are Wolf and Groh, both of whom have been here for years of awful drafts. Some consider it a clean slate, I absolutely do not. Felt good yesterday, but count me as skeptical after day two.

PR.

 

[reflexblue]

This thread is uglier than the average GD one.

 

[Wozzy]

Jermaine Burton just went... would have taken him over Polk and gotten a tackle earlier.

Wallace is live now:

 

[skinnydog]

PR.

Then have some stones, hang up the phone with the press and do you damn job

 

[bakes781]

I'm not down on Polk. Just think he was taken a round too early. You can say we're nitpicking but each time they reach is another player they missed out on. It's like giving away a pick.

I think Plan A is for him to be the Left Tackle. Plan B if he doesn’t transition effectively is for him to be the Right Tackle and then move Onwenu back to Right Guard. You’d still have a question mark at LT but the other four OL spots SHOULD be pretty good and have depth in that situation.

 

[skinnydog]

Who does this?? Sign a free agent RT and move him to LT and draft a guy who only played RT and think that is a great plan to fill the huge void they have at LT?

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Wouldn’t hate a move up for Payton Wilson or JT Sanders.

Sow was very good last year, it's a massive presumption thinking this guy will be better than a rookie who earned a starting position out of camp last year.

Possibly one of the dumbest plans I’ve ever heard of

 

[mgteich]

He played RT at Penn State because they already had a top LT.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Does anyone have a gif of BB eating popcorn by chance?!!

Seriously - I actually like all three of these guy's interviews if that means anything. Competitive, confident sounding dudes.

 

[Jim Beankie]

At least they're actually filling needs this time...
