*** Official 2017 NFL Draft Thread *** Bears pay a steep price for their franchise QB (1 Viewer)

[Ilov80s]

I like the Lions getting the 4th to drop 11 spots given the depth of this draft. 

Agree still just pissed about Teez tho

 

[Ilov80s]

This is one of the worst ones to me.  This looks like the mother of all RBBC's to me.

Because of Spencer Ware? He really sucked the last 2/3 of the season. There is a big opportunity there IMO. 

 

[Mister CIA]

Hunt to KC, now we got a good fantasy spot

This year's Kenneth Dixon. I overdrafted Dixon last year, and if it was possible, I'd overdraft Hunt (at this moment  )

 

[Kleck]

Yes maybe too good, I was hoping for him to fall to late first early 2nd

He will, or else someone better just fell to you.

 

[Christo]

Brian needs his suit taken in.

 

[Hankmoody]

Because of Spencer Ware? He really sucked the last 2/3 of the season. There is a big opportunity there IMO. 

Because now there are three guys there that Andy Reid could, at any moment, decide to give the bulk of the workload to.   Reid is gonna reid no matter who it is, but he could have at least waited until the 6th and done it with Dayes or someone.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

That stinks. I kinda liked Foreman. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Carlos to Denver. Zzzz

Foreman to Houston? Might eve save some from spending too much on him

 

[bostonfred]

That stinks. I kinda liked...

...2017 picks 

 

[LAUNCH]

Dallas Wolverines?

 

[Ilov80s]

Desmond King seems like the best player by a mile now

 

[Andy Dufresne]

...2017 picks 

Stop. You act like you were expecting every player to go to a spot where they were the featured guy.  Like any year there's some to like and some to be disappointed with.  I think there's more to like than normal. 

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Desmond King seems like the best player by a mile now

Agree.  Also saw Carl Lawson mocked in the last first.  Brantley seemed like a top 50 guy until his incident last week.  Cordrea Tankersley up there too.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Agree still just pissed about Teez tho

I must be the only one who doesnt hate this pick.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Mcshay just said Jordain Lewis was the best player on the board 30 picks ago

Which spots do you like?   I'll give you Davis in Tennessee.  Then what? Is Jacksonville the second best landing spot anyone had? 

 

[Ilov80s]

I must be the only one who doesnt hate this pick.

My friend likes him too. He said Florida D was great so Teez must be great. I mean his highlights loo great, but he is athletic level is on par with a drunk club rugby player. 

 

[dmac37]

I must be the only one who doesnt hate this pick.

Nope, I would rather have a football player than a track star. In Quinn we trust, so nice compared to the Millen years

 

[Ilov80s]

Mcshay just said Jordain Lewis was the best player on the board 30 picks ago

Kind of was. If you want mirror and match, few are better. Lewis is a little slow (not Teez level) and short, but he is glue. Also, unlike a lot of these giant CBs, Lewis is willing to mix it up in tackling. 

 

[SWC]

los packaderos are quietly and sneakilly having a pretty danged good draft and i gots me a feeling ole teddy is just getting warmed up take that to the land of cheese bank brochachos

 

[Ilov80s]

Never seen Golladay play but his blend of size and athleticism is very good. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Which spots do you like?   I'll give you Davis in Tennessee.  Then what? Is Jacksonville the second best landing spot anyone had? 

Fournette, McCaffrey, Mixon, Cook all went to good spots where they'll be the starter.

Davis of course. I'm not afraid of LAC's depth chart, so I like Williams or Cincinnati so I like Ross. JJ-SS is in a great spot for a #2.

Watson will start sooner rather than later in Houston.

Howard, Njoku, and Engram are all in line to start.

I'll take all the 1sts that people don't want.

 

[Ilov80s]

He isn't NFL fast or big, but in college, he owned. Reminds me of Teez except he more into cover than gamble and he was an ok athlete

I don't necessarily disagree with you Andy, but it would be nice if some of these guys where they went to situations were there was NO ONE else to steal carries. I know the days of the bell cow back are done. Being a Packer fan, I have no idea why they haven't taken a back yet..I'm not sold at all on Ty Montgomery. Regardless, Fournette is the only back of all of these that I can forsee getting 20-25 + carries per game. I mean Cook will be splitting with Latavius, Mixon with Gio(and perhaps Hill), Kamara went to a terrible situation. That being said in PPR leagues i can see the value in some of these guys, but in a dynasty league like mine where it's essentially TD's or nothing(some yardage points), and sitting on picks 1 &2, I thought my choices would be obvious..Fournette for sure, then either Mixon or Cook, and now I'm not sure I can justify taking either one of them over Davis(I do have Mariota).

IMO you have nothing to fear from Murray (he got a 1 year contract) or Gio (best suited as a rotational 3rd down back).

Kamara's initial situation is disappointing but you'll see that AP is finished and they clearly want to move on from Ingram. 

 

[5Rings]

Sure hope Niners take Dede or Butt

 

[Ilov80s]

Just based on draft Twitter, 49ers were having an A+ type draft but I have no clue who this QB is. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Desmond King is either the player I am most right  on or most wrong on. This is nuts. 

 

[bostonfred]

Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Washington, Green Bay...

 

[metoo]

What if I told you the week before the draft someone would try to convince you Davis Webb is a first round pick?

I would ask you where you get that ish in the A.

 

[Ilov80s]

Just watched some Galladay. He is a beast. Nice pick. A guy with that size and athleticism is well deserving of  a 3rd rd pick. Check this dude for fantasy. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Haven't looked at many teams yet but Saints appear to have done quite well. 

Ravens - all defense. What does that tell us about their offense? 

Dallas/GB/Ind/Oak/Phi/Wax - getting the defensive help they need. 

Denver - Elway's GM star is fading a bit, IMO

Ten - decent players but I'm not seeing the plan here

LAC - finally some linemen

LAR - Still no linemen

 

[Ilov80s]

Haven't looked at many teams yet but Saints appear to have done quite well. 

Lions might be defined by a 4.7 corner that couldn't press more than 9 times and can barely jump over a curb. 

 

[SproutDaddy]

Haven't looked at many teams yet but Saints appear to have done quite well. 

I honestly love what they've done.  The LB pick was a bit surprising with the lack of pass rush, and it's getting old with them drafting IR possibilities.  Love the Hendrickson pick.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Washington, Green Bay...

They each have a minimum of 2 picks in the next round.   Guessing we see many or all of these teams grab a RB soon.

Not great names left.  Perine? Hill?

 

[slackjawedyokel]

Packers should really target Perine... probably the best fit alongside Ty M.

 

[QuizGuy66]

At this point in time he should be milking the boos. Make it part of his persona since it isn't going to go away. Be the pro wrestling heel.

Gary Bettman has perfected this.

The year the Devils hosted the draft was the year they traded their first round pick for Cory Schneider.  Bettman steps to the podium and everyone boos. "There is a trade" (booooooooo) "you're gonna want to hear this"

Even I had to begrudingly give him credit for that line

Bengals hitting needs so far.  Just need Mixon not to be a garbage person going forward though :/

Perine and McNichols are nice RB picks right now

I will say as someone pointed out on twitter pretty appropriate to see Jim Brown take the podium not long after Mixon was drafted.  Nothing at all inconsistent from the league or fans there...
