Official Draft Thread - Round 1

I’m so over booing Goodell. It’s so tired.

 

PS. Don’t want Will Johnson either, but he’s such a Grier pick.

 

Trade down
draft a guard
thank you

 

Jags giving Lawrence fewer and fewer excuses.

 

Cam Ward looks much smaller on stage, lol

 

So far, no surprises in player selection.

 

Campbell - no surprise there.

 

That is a happy young man, lol. Going to make the Raiders a better team.

 

Didn’t think Membou would slide to us, but was hoping anyway. Damn Jets

 

First (mild) surprise of the first round. Might be a good opportunity to trade back, as you said.

 

Fingers crossed they don't miss out on whomever they targeted. Ideally would hope for a trade down so we can get a quality guard or CB and an extra pick

 

Kind of a surprise from Dallas

 

Was that Warren getting hugs backstage?

 

Pick is in

 

Kenneth Grant

 

I like it.

 

Should be a day one starter just based off of our need at the position. Football is won in the trenches so I don't hate the pick.

 

Watched alot of Michigan football.
Not a good pick to me.
Mason Graham was the talent on that line.
We should have went corner or traded back.

 

330 that can move in the middle doesn't hurt.

 

Its unbelievable the damage deion and his son did with their mouths.. he may fall to the third round.. teams do not care for their entitled attitudes.

 

I think the south Florida heat & humidity will help keep his size in control, lol.

 

Hoping he has the Big Chris Effect where he makes it easier for those around him. Just like when Wilkins used to push the middle allowing everybody else to get the stats. If we get Chubb and Phillips back healthy, they (along with Chop) might feast with Grant in the middle. Sieler, too. We needed this and now, we need somebody on the other side of the ball who can similarly do the dirty work that makes everybody better.

 

Only thing I don’t like with this pick is that we couldn’t manage to trade down but that’s easier said than done..

 

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I guess will find in a couple of years

 

I don't think we went wrong with this pick. Sure,, Tyler Warren was the guy I personally wanted, but I think Grant was a good pick. We've solidified our DLINE and I hope we double down in the 2nd with the offensive line. As usual there are people that are going to hate the pick just because they hate Grier. I'm not a fan of Grier either, but at least we're prioritizing the areas of need.

 

Will Johnson at 13 right

 

What are the chances we get this ramsey deal done to get some day 2 or day 3 picks? Or are we stuck with him

 

If we trade him before June 1st we have to swallow a massive amount of extra dead cap space. So probably better to wait, since we’re probably only getting like a late pick anyways.

I really like the Grant pick. No complaints there.

Would be nice if we could grab Trey Amos in the 2nd round. Doubt he will be there, but with Will Johnson still on the board… maybe Amos gets pushed down.

 

For awhile now, based on who I thought would be available, I actually had Grant as my top choice. I would have like it if they could ave traded back and got him later on. DT is also such a glaring need. I figured the top Lineman would be gone and I wasn't thrilled with Cambell anyhow, but I would rather they had kept Wilkins when they had the chance and used this pick on one of the other many needs. However, it is what it is. These picks are really for the future and hopefully, the next regime.

I wanted them to take G, Donovan Jackson in the 2nd, but he went 24th to the Vikings.

Zabel and Loveland were my other two choices with the first pick.

 

Now, let's just say bleep it and hope they draft Milroe with the second and maybe, just maybe we'll have some exciting moments in....preseason.
...an then.....who knows?
