The NFL Thread 2: 1. T Swift

Corral is the wildcard for my mock predictions. I don’t think he makes it out of the 1st.

When has the last time a cornerback being 6 3" over 6 1" really mattered?

High point skills probably a bigger factor.

0% we pick Willis here. It’s one of the DE 100%

I can’t imagine the Lions don’t snap run the card up if it’s hutchinson

not quite a suh level of sprint the card to the podium but a michigan guy and fine to pick there, go for it

some taller receivers it does if the lower guy doesn’t have a huge vertical on the jump balls

That’s obvious though. Name me the last a CB that had that height and really made it count.

Peterson? How long before he moved to safety?

Sherman, Tillman

though I guess their primes were more zone defenses

I haven’t seen the Cinci kid play so I really have no idea. My argument was mainly pointing out that I don’t think measurables will really matter that much between those 2 players.

I do have a lot of catching up to do and certainly have the sec bias.

Lol when the Eagles take another WR in the 1st.

I know Seahawks have been frequently associated with him. Could be their first pick of the second round.

And yah I reckon Willis and Pickett go first round. Maybe Panthers (6) then Steelers (20). Or maybe Steelers (20) and then some team trades into late first round to get the fifth year option.

had no idea they’d put up this many props now I gotta pay attention to all these draft things again sigh

and all those stupid rumors cause apparently the first pick was mentioned in march by pauline

I like that the first overall pick isn’t clear in this draft.

In most drafts, it’s set in stone. Adds some suspense.

It’s draft day, and you know what that means…

I dunno… I don’t bet football but I think I’d be hammering the over. Panthers and Steelers seem like locks, Seattle/New Orleans/Atlanta/Washington are varying degrees of strong maybes.

I just feel like when it’s actually time to draft, the need for QB’s outweighs the perception of how bad they are. I remember being shocked at Daniel Jones and Mitch Trubisky going where they did, when I shouldn’t be shocked that some teams simply want to make a splash.

Hahahahaha it absolutely slays me every time

fair it’s been bumped to 3.5 now I think

at least trubes was graded by the entire NFL that high, they were all dumb

You can see the impact of the Jets drafting on Pete Rozelle’s hairline lol

Yeah, it’s a classic. Really needs to be updated to add Sanchez, Darnold, and Wilson, though.

oh god the panthers are taking pickett at 6 aren’t they

Only two kickers have been taken in the first two rounds in the past 30 years. I just discovered that the year this bit appeared on ESPN, the Jets, with their first pick in the draft at #47, took one of them. And not even a good one – it was Mike Nugent!.
