Ok traded back in for Garnett............there is your Baalke reach lol

[One_Putt_Blunder]

Well they moved up for a guard. As a stanford fan I like the player a lot just not sure they needed to move back into the first to get him

[scratchswinger]

Strange how all those Seahawk fans haven't been around much since that pick against NE. Lolz

 

Go Hawks!

Yeah agreed, I wanted Garnett pretty bad actually, but likely at 37. Paid a decent amount for him too. Solid pick, just a bit of a jump, but if he was who we were targeting at 37 and worried he was gonna get snatched up.....go for it.

 

Man......the possibilities though lol. So much defensive talent on the board, and womp.....a guard.

Guard especially RG was a massive need after last year. Garnett should start day 1 and be an upgrade so I'm warming to being ok with that vs another Baalke 4th round walking wounded project.

 

Iirc the move back up to get Iupati was looked at as questionable and that worked out ok.

Only thing is Iupati would have never made it out of the first round. Garnett was looking like he could very well be there at 37. But lots of rumor saying that the Hawks were targeting Garnett. Honestly, with the way it's shaping up...lots of talent in the second and third so I'll warm to it.

 

Edit seeing who Seattle took......it's very likely they could have been targeting Garnett.

[scratchswinger]

Love the move.... Every time I watched Stanford play McCaffrey had Volkswagen size holes on the left side. Also I remember seeing him out in front of those screens that our friend Bubba is so fond of. Niners walk away from day 1 with two potentional starters and depth in the trenches.

[scratchswinger]

So when are the Niners going to make this move and grab Jack?

 

His knee must be f***** up!

[One_Putt_Blunder]

If they ended up taking Seattle's pick then even better lol

[scratchswinger]

I wonder what Seattle fans have to say about all this?

Yeah that knee must be worse than thought to scare everybody off. Whoever gets him in round two though will be getting a solid steal.

 

As for the Niners in the coming rounds picking from this crop would make me happy:

Noah Spence, , shillique Calhoun, Malik Collins, scooby wright, Kenneth Dixon, sterling Shepard, Kendall fuller, Braxton miller,m

[One_Putt_Blunder]

Haven't been this pumped for a first round since 2010 now if they can grab an all pro I'm the 3rd like they did in 2010 with Bowman they might just right the ship.

 

Nice to see Kaep warming to the idea of playing for Chip imo the only way the Chip hire was going to work is if Kaep was able to return to form.

 

I'm shocked i have positive things to say about the niners right now.

His name is Myles Jack! Lol....

[scratchswinger]

That O linemam reaction after being drafted by Seattle was priceless..... Maybe my highlight of the first round. I'll be around for all 7 rounds, 5 and 6 are the sweet spot.

[scratchswinger]

I am going to go out on a limb and say Tunsil is not the sharpest tool in the shed.... Anyone watch his preser? Yikes.... Um the coach that offered the money is still there.... Ole Miss is f*****!

Yup that's where my this thing is getting wierd post came from. Well that and the screen shots of texts asking for rent money and money to pay mom's $300 utility bill

[highergr0und]

Rebels better make a run this year while the investigations are ongoing....

[One_Putt_Blunder]

Trent ACL Baalke strikes again

[Boydr12]

VERY optimistic about my panthers draft this year!!

[baseballfrk8998]

Thought the Cowboys had a pretty decent draft. I like the Elliott pick okay, but I was pretty big on Jalen Ramsey personally. Would have probably rather them taken him there, but I assume their plan is to move Byron Jones to safety now where Ramsey likely would have played.

 

The Jaylon Smith pick was extremely interesting. It's a big time roll of the dice, but should things work out in their favor then they essentially turned the 34th pick in this draft into a player with top 5 talent. If it doesn't, however, they wasted a big time opportunity improve the team immediately in what are likely to be Romo's final couple of years.

 

I like Collins and Tapper in the 3rd and 4th rounds because both guys should be able to bolster the pass rush somewhat and they both possess nice too end speed. The Dak Prescott pick was a good one as well IMO. He turned into s pretty solid passer at MSU and hopefully he'll get to sit behind Romo for a few years and won't be thrust into any immediate action.

I was shocked that Smith went at 34. Thought that was much earlier than expected, but should all things heal right it'll be a good pick to get a top 5 talent at that slot. I did want Malik Collins though, snagged him just before our pick.

[deadsolid...shank]

Malik Collins was dominant at times last year (reminiscent of Suh on occasion), just didn't do it enough. Good kid though, and maybe help keep Randy Gregory on the straight and narrow.

Jaylon Smith going at 34 surprised me a lot too. I'm really hoping it works out, obviously! Such a big gamble at that point in the draft.

[chickenpotpie]

As a Lions fan, I love how they kept it simple and just addressed needs one at a time. And not a single WR taken! Ok, that's an old bit, but they have legit #1 and #2 receivers on this team already in Tate and Jones.

 

Honestly, with the number of linemen taken, this is what I would have expected from Matt Millen, being that he was a guy who played in the trenches. Kind of refreshing to see them not just going for the sexy name.

Agree CPP, there seemed to be some methodology to their drafting this year. Get bigger on both sides of the ball. Not glamorous, but smart. Taylor Decker appears to be solid, certainly has the pedigree. But if the pick was to simply replace Reiff in a year (rumors about not resigning him), then no net gain and another wasted prior #1 pick. But they needed OL help and depth, have to protect the franchise.

 

Like the Robinson pick a lot. Big and mean, and again pedigree. Seems to be a smart kid who will learn fast. Didn't like the Rudock pick one bit (not because he's an M'er), not in the six round. He could have been had several rounds latter by all indications. And drafting a LS?? Come'on thats just stupid, and a waste of a draft pick (albeit, a late 6th round one). So a mix of good and Lion'esque.

 

But never forget who we are taking about here. The most sad sack franchise in professional sports. Maybe they are under new, enlightenment management (heard that before). Or just the latest rendition of SOL. A 50/50 proposition at best.

[knock it close]

Haven't looked at it too closely but I do like the Broncos getting Booker. I've watched a bunch of utah games over the past two years and have been impressed with his running, should fit the zone scheme well too.

[RookieBlue7]

I'm out of town for a wedding but I'm not happy with my Birds draft.... Smh at a couple picks we made, especially in round 1. Could've gotten Neal later by trading down and getting back some of the picks we didn't have

Yeah, I agree about the LS (I actually had to look that one up, as I didn't recognize the position at first). They've got one already too....not sure if this was a case of "best player available" or what, but you aren't going to carry two of these guys on the roster, so....

 

Now, homerness aside, I like the Rudock pick (though, you are right, they might have gotten him as a UFA). He improved a ton this last year if you watch him early in the season versus late. I think with more time, he will be a solid backup who could end up starting somewhere in 3-4 years. In that regard (and that regard only), he's a lot like Brady...that is all anyone expected of him at the time too. Of course the Pats got lucky and Brady ended up being awesome. Hope that happens here too, but doubtful.

Ultimately time will tell, but I agree. Thought the falcons had one of the worst drafts.

Bought my tickets for Patriots vs. Cardinals first Sunday Night Game of the year last week. Don't know what to expect with Jimmy G. at the reins but I am so so so excited. :yahoo:
