Placeholder for the official thread. Adding the possibilities to make things easier. 

 

Great call Jeremy.  It's no wonder we submitted the pick within a few minutes after we were on the clock.

Going off this list, it was a very easy call.

But can he play LT?

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

Not a fan of the pick, but I also didn't like the Beason or Luke picks at the time.

 

Would've really really liked Landon Collins.

RR explaining how Thompson match up against Jimmy Graham-type guys in nickel and also be 3rd LB in 4-3.

 

Jimmy not in the fuging division anymore Ron give me a better fuging excuse

 

 

Doesn't matter that he's not in the division; we'll be seeing him twice next year.

[LinvilleGorge]

Simple. in base 4-3, Shaq plays OLB. when we go to Nickel, slide Shaq back to SS and take Harper off the field.

 

We're not going to ask a rookie to learn two different positions.  I know it sounds simple, but what you've suggested is just way, WAY too much to ask a rookie to take on.

Scouts Inc. had Perriman with a 90 Grade and the 20th overall player. Meanwhile Shaq Thompson is graded 78 and 69th overall.

There was 4 other OLB graded higher than Shaq who were still available.

Replace the word 'Mayock' with the words 'scouts inc'

Jimmy Graham now plays on a real team, that's been the gateway to the Super Bowl the last two years. There's a good chance we see him again this year.

Gettleman had Thompson rated higher.

You can't go by media rankings.

 

 

Truest thing out there, media doesnt get half the info that the teams get on the players, most boards made by the media are based on perceptions of how teams view players, and honestly outside of the top 10 picks it's just a guessing game by the media.

Exactly. Thompson essentially replaces Harper on 3rd downs and replaces Thomas Davis in 2 or 3 years.

What's not to like?

[Rags]

Man too bad this is our only pick in a draft our GM said is deep at WR and OT

Wait

Wait we have 8 more picks?

road to the Super Bowl goes through Seattle. That chump TE Willson lit us up last year, what would Graham do??

week 6, at the least anyways.

Solid pick, was able to catch several big Washington games last year and figured he'd be a 1st rounder.

His defensive potential is limitless, let alone special teams.
