NFL Draft: Day 2

[manxman2601]

Nope. They still need to upgrade WRs and cbs.

And OL.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

And OL.

We could say QB but I won’t go there yet.

Possibly a last ditch effort to save his job, if reports are right:

The Athletic's Michael Lombardi, general manager Mike Maccagnan is on the hot seat.

I hear that all is not well in New York Jets land about their scouting operation. General Manager Mike Maccagnan is on the hot seat internally, and many in the league expect changes in the Jets' front office after the draft. Stay tuned.

Jets GM Mike Maccagnan reportedly on the hot seat, changes to front office expected after the draft

Dolphins working on a deal for Rosen....hmmmmm...hmmm....

I hope not I can only be ok with this if we get Lock.
Rosen Will be really good in Miami.

Ok, all eyes on these guys:

Missouri quarterback Drew Lock
Oklahoma offensive lineman Cody Ford
Florida offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor
LSU cornerback Greedy Williams
Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf

I'm hoping one of them doesn't get picked and has to wait until day 3!

We have no life. There’s a reason the late, great Joel Buchsbaum led the life he did.

Here’s background on him.
Mock Drafts: An Oral History

Fascinating how Belichick so trusted him and was one of the few to show up to his funeral. Righteous deed, Bill.

RIP, Joel Buchsbaum.

I got to talk to Buchsbaum at the 1982 draft (the only one I ever went to), and he truly was a mensch. Just a really nice guy, and I loved his draft guides at Pro Football Weekly. He truly was a great talent evaluator, was offered several jobs in the NFL and never took one. Interesting fact, he never went to see the prospects, did all of his scouting in his apartment via video tape.

Definitely was a notch up on Mel Kiper back in the 1980s.

I’m looking forward to today, there are so many different directions we can go. The one thing I do hope though is that they pick up an additional 4th/5th pick tomorrow because there’s a big gap between the 4th round pick and the 6th.

Maybe a move up from 56 or 64 by exchanging one of the 3rds for a 5th?

 

[long distance]

Every point you make sounds great. I just wish I actually liked Risner. Obviously, if the Patriots take him, then that's good enough for me. Scar knows what he's doing.

Im not a particular fan either
Its just the rationale in me..

 

[manxman2601]

Maybe a move up from 56 or 64 by exchanging one of the 3rds for a 5th?

I think I’d rather a 4, followed by trading our 4th back into the mid-high 5th.

Alternatively, pick at 56, trade back from 64 to the mid-3rd picking up a mid-4th which works on the trade chart. And then trade back from 134, maybe picking up a 2020 4th or 5th.

But your way works too.

 

[manxman2601]

He’s a bit too similar to the Chung role for me to be interested in taking him too early but I certainly get very interested at 64 and onwards.

 

[Keyser Söze]

Patriots have a very small draft board compared to most teams by all reports. I could easily see them trading up in the 2nd for a player they have targeted. They certainly have enough ammo to get to anywhere they want. Caserio also mentioned that as a possibility last night.

I know a good physical therapist who does also does myofascial release. I can hook him up.

 

[DaBruinz]

Trading up for Winovich would please me

Why would they need to trade up for Winovich???

 

[DaBruinz]

No, that's why I didn't break anything when I heard it. . Tillery was SOOOO close. They only had to go up to 29 to get him and 29 was for sale.

Trading up to 29 wouldn't have done anything since the Chargers took Tillery at 28.

I bet Kraft knows a therapist that specializes in promoting a different kind of release

 

[DaBruinz]

Really like to see us come away with Mecole Hardman out of GA. He and Harry would be filthy to defend along side Edelman

Hardman, Hakeem Butler, Hunter Renfrow, Samuel, and McLaurin. Any combination of them would be deadly going forward.

He should be on the hot seat.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Why would they need to trade up for Winovich???

You could make a case that he's undervalued by fans. His testing was excellent, he has good hands and proper technique, and he had one of the highest pressure rates in the entire class at 21.7% to go along with a run rate of 11.8% -- again one of the highest in class. Winovich had 53 total QB hits. He's a tenacious, fiery player. Sounds like a good Patriot to me.

There are other players I prefer, but I wouldn't have been shocked if he had gone in the last few picks of the 1st round. He may not make it to 56. If the Patriots like him, then go get him.
