NFL Draft Thread: Apr 24-26

This

The league is clearly focused on getting away from pocket passers and overvaluing DL - the exception this draft was Tyler Shough apparently is the type of guy Kellen Moore really likes which is why he picked him. I think he will be a bust and the Saints draft in general has been trash.

If I was a GM I'd look at what everyone else is doing and do the opposite.

I wouldn't draft an unproven DL pick, Id wait until camp starts when these teams start releasing proven DL talent and pick up proven value from cap cuts and roster cuts.

The Browns have had head scratching draft too, which isn't a surprise. They had a lot of high value picks and in my eyes wasted those picks.

I like the Mason Graham pick. He's an animal. The rest of the Browns' picks not so sure about but who knows?

kinda has that feel that no Orange get drafted because most of these guys are the same as 10 other guys at those positions

The Jags with two weird draft picks right out the gate and the Jets with a head scratching pick

I can’t believe no Syracuse player has been picked yet

 

[Lukeyloo]

Our guys are all going to be 5th-7th rounders, aren’t they?

 

[orangenauburn]

Lol at these running backs being drafted.

I'm sorry, just don't see it with most of them

Shedeur Sanders falling in NFL Draft a reflection of how Colorado QB, Deion Sanders handled pre-draft process

CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones says Sanders' slide is about the process, not the player

Are NFL teams heading towards fielding whole teams of D linemen? No other positions, just 22 DL’s on the field?

It’s a weak QB draft overall and there aren’t a ton of teams dying for a QB. I’m hopeful McCord lands in a spot with an aging vet he can understudy with for a few seasons.

I think the biggest factor is not many teams are absolutely looking for QB’s. Even in a weak QB draft, guys with no business going in the 1st round will get picked if teams are desperate.

Yeah you’re right - just watching the 4th shows that.

Pittsburgh says we don't need no QB

 

[PhatOrange]

I'm a little surprised the Steelers didn't pick McCord there. Lame. They don't need more LBs.

 

[orangenauburn]

Only two teams left in fourth who might take a QB

 

[swish7]

Steelers missed out

 

[oldpinepoint]

Might think they can get him lower

Good lord. How many DEs does the NFL need?

A lot. They seem to be injury prone, and you have quite a few who are used solely on rushing downs.

Any team may take a QB at this point. Fourth rounder is backup or developmental prospect.

 

[orangenauburn]

I know this is likely irrational and in the moment statement but overall, this draft seems really weird.

To me it seems teams are just throwing a dart at the board and selecting wherever it hits.

This may go down as a complete disaster of a draft class.

Going just off ESPN team needs a lot of teams haven't drafted those spots.

A bunch of teams still show needs at DL. There may be a lot more DL drafted.

No one really screams standout / difference maker

 

[swish7]

BS

 

[PhatOrange]

The Steelers literally dont have a QB. I don't understand what they're thinking.

 

[swish7]

Come on Jets

 

[richmondcuse03]

How did Cal have three NFL picks on their defense? We moved the ball at will on them.

 

[swish7]

Dam u jets
