Re: Post Draft thoughts

Wow. I didn't know about any of that. That is definitely a hard one to get past. Also, did anybody else hear that Detroit "expected" the Vikings to demand a 1st in the trade and were absolutely prepared to pay it. Some of these kids may pan out, but if these things are true it's pretty ha...

Re: Post Draft thoughts

This was by far the most disappointed I have been with my favorite team and I cannot believe we drafted a guy who was indicted by a grand jury for aggravated sexual assault against children. Not sure how people can put that aside and still like this draft. Just disgusting that Kwesi would even cons...

Re: Draft Day thread

Come on now. Cousins wasn't a high potential 'developmental' QB. Not the same scenario at all. I'm not saying Willis will even amount to anything. He may not, I have no idea. But I wouldn't mind taking the swing. I was referring more to Bridgewater and Ponder. "Swings". That resulted in C...

Re: Draft Day thread

Maybe. But seems like you gotta keep swinging for that 'franchise QB' until you have one. And at this point in the draft I feel like there's as much potential as anybody else we'd take. We tried this before. Which is why we are now stuck with Cousins. Don't restart the process now...please. Come on...

Re: Draft Day thread

At this point I say we grab Willis. Why not? 5th year option. Develop him and see if we an option besides Cousins. It's probably because teams realize he won't be any good. Maybe. But seems like you gotta keep swinging for that 'franchise QB' until you have one. And at this point in the draft I fee...

Re: Draft Day thread

At this point it feels like even Linderbaum will be gone.

McDuffie I guess.
I was thinking that too. Imagine if we ended up with McDuffie and Willis with those pics. I know it's not likely, but in my mind that would salvage the trade.

Re: Draft Day thread

In an attempt to be positive ... It's possible nobody they thought was worth it was there at 12 and rather than force it they took what they could get. They've got what amounts to 2 low first rounders now and got an extra pick. Anyway, we didn't want a traditional GM that is necessarily reading fro...

At least Slick Rick would've got 7 6th rounders thrown in there as well.

Re: Draft Day thread

I was all for trading back but not sure how I feel about this. Really wanted Hamilton and it seems odd to trade within division.
