DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION OFFICIAL First Round Draft Discussion Thread

[raduray]

What a crappy night for Boston sports. Celtics knocked out of playoffs, Sox lose, and the Pats are shut out of the first round of the draft. Hopefully, the Pats will dazzle us with their picks the next few days, but going on past experience, I'm sure there will be some head scratchers.

The DTs falling is great for us.

you don't cover this offense

No ****....

 

[manxman2601]

Miles jack is much better suited to cover gronk, actually he's the perfect player to cover him. #prayhefalls

That was my worry.

Ryan Hannable ?@RyanHannable

Good point by @PhilAPerry, just 2 interior DL taken so far. In a draft deep at that position, could mean talent left for Pats at 60/61.

Match up with the Raiders D then come see me. That's going to be a massive issue if a) TB IS suspended and misses 4 and they somehow miss HF by a game and b) no run game. I mean a real honest to goodness run game.

If either of those 2 are true, the Pats will have serious troubles. And I mean serious.

That was my worry.

Yes, I don't think there has been a better player coming out in awhile that is better suited for that match up.

 

[JMC00]

So, who are the bad picks/reaches so far?

One I question is texans taking Fuller over Treadwell.

 

[Ross12]

Can always count on Jerry.

 

[manxman2601]

Tantalizing talent, but the injury concerns seems legit.

Sure are. But as I understand it, it's a worry about a second contract, not the next five years.

Broncos traded up with Seahawks

Makes sense. Teams that are built with rosters ready to compete for a 4-5 year window will take a long look at him.

Reach.

Now that's a reach.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Ha, ha, eat it Squealers!

 

[Love The Drake]

Paxton Lynch to the Broncos?

 

[JMC00]

Reach.

Ya I thought Burns wouldn't go until maybe mid 2nd

I read this as "Monty" Burns at first glance.
