NFL Draft Day

[40for60]

Wow Darrisaw is a big guy.

[S197]

Hope he works out. It makes the Cleveland pick last year all the more weird.

They'll probably take Phillips anyway. It's really annoying they had the most versatile lineman in the draft and the best D player in the draft sitting there and they didn't move. But it is what it is.

They had the best QB IMO fall to them. Now Bill B will look like a genius. Never let QBs pass by. He could have sat and then deal Cousins.

Gotta give Rick props. Got a great pick at a need position and picked up 2 3rds in the process

Well done

If they deal Cousins then they would take a $31 million cap hit which they could not afford

Was the pick the Vikes gave up a 4th or a 5th?

[Maelstrom88]

From what I read he has talent to be great if the desire matches it. Sounds like good value. I would have preferred Teven Jenkins.

BTW, off topic, but you guys aren't the only ones disappointed in the GM. The local sports talk yappers here in Denver practically needed to be put on suicide watch after the Broncos passed on Justin Fields to take Surtain. Going with Bridgewater and Lock apparently.

I do not think they wanted Fields because it is too early to give up on Lock but Broncos will have a good defense though

I liked Lock when he came out. Not every QB is a plug and play guy. I wouldn't have picked Fields. Speilman passed on the guy I wanted and let Bill B grab him. Now they have a bunch of nothing picks. They won't even get a starter this year.

Surtain is a heck of a player. I would take him over Fields. Although Fields is faster for whatever that's worth.

4th

Thanks - so 10 remaining picks 4 3rds, 3 4ths, 2 5ths and a 6th

[40for60]

It was a 5th.

The Jets will also receive pick #143 (fifth-round) from the Vikings.

Draft chart means nothing in today's NFL. It's not even used anymore by NFL teams (ask me how I know)

Dude we got Justin Jefferson at 22. Just because we traded down doesn’t mean they can’t get a talented player. Like I said, let’s relax until we see who we get. If Paye falls to them. Or even Darrisaw that’s good value

You can get guys anywhere. But passing up a stud for good value is a bad deal. But you need to look at who you passed up. I wanted Jones and if he's a bum for Bill B then good move. If he's off the charts it's one of the worst draft moves ever. I have a little more faith in Bill B.

Concur. I think this year is a make or break year for Lock however.

I know zero about the CAP if we deal him we are stuck with the CAP? I never realized that one. So the Ravens are stuck with O Browns CAP hit even since he was traded.
