Looks like it
Re: 2017 draft thread
I hate rick spielman.
Re: 2017 draft thread
Weren't people upset Rick was trading up yesterday? Now people are mad he's trading down
Rick had done alright in the 4th/5th. Everson, Robison, Diggs, Sullivan...
It becomes a crap shoot after a while. There's not a lot that separates many of these guys. You can also find some contributors in the 7th, like Shamar Stephen.

Rick wants to end up with 10 7th rounders.
Has he never heard the old saying "9 women can't make a baby in a month" ??

Re: 2017 draft thread
two 5th rounders is a pretty good haul for the 4th. I could see them trading a lot of these picks they have collected for more picks in next years draft.

Re: 2017 draft thread
I think it speaks to Rick's lack of confidence in his ability to find solid prospects in the middle rounds. He just opts for throwing excrement against the wall mode. The more throws, the better his chances of something sticking.PurpleMustReign wrote:This is #### ridiculous. Hey, let's stockpile all late rounders, because they always work out so well.

Re: 2017 draft thread
Roderick Johnson, Jake Butt, and Desmond King are just sitting there! But nah, let's just trade back for some more.
WTF are we doing.
Also, we wasted that fourth rounder on Gedeon. What a joke.

I mean at some point you have to look at quality over quantity.
Re: 2017 draft thread
Loving this draft Johnson is a beast.
I don't know much about the LB yet
John Ramdle liked the tweet I wrote
about him as well. What a morning

Re: 2017 draft thread
Desmond King. That is all I have to say. There is a reason this team always seems to falter down the stretch. They leave quality players on the board consistently every year.VikingPaul73 wrote: well said

Doesn't mean anything if you cannot draft anyone worth a damn.
