And nobody is looking to overreach for Hunter.. Plus it's hard to overreach when most draft analyst had him as a top 15 pick.. Again Nobody has Hunter as a top 15 pick.. please stop posting these stupid draft grades .. They change every year and if we actual compare .. Some of these stiffs have the same grade as HOFs.. Stop trying to use a this as your argument.. Basic facts.. 1 was considered a top 15 pick 1 isn't.. You're wrong..

Im talking about Ebron, his stock value was overvalued thats why he was a top 15 pick when actualllity he should have been picked in the lower half of the draft. "Some of these stiffs have the same grade as HOFs" that is one of the reason ebron went as top 15 pick right overhyping maybe?

Did you go to the university of North Carolina

[WOW!!]

Overvalued or overrated doesn't matter in our discussion.. 

You said again Hunter is a better draft prospect than Ebron..

Well the fact that thru out the whole draft process Ebron was considered a top 15 pick by everybody (pre combine, after combine, private workouts and the actual draft) and Hunter is not means.. Ebron the better prospect.. And the fact Ebron was in what is widely considered a good TE draft and Hunter isn't.. Is further proof.. 

Oh I hate UNC with a passion by the way.. I have no horse in this other then the facts and being right..lol

And his production in the NFL shows that he wasnt a top 15 pick and his stock was overvalued. The NFL combine gradings dont change and it just proves that he was overreached for his talent, he should have been picked where Henry is going to be pick.

And again none of this has anything to do with what we were talking about.. Especially since Hunter hasn't been drafted or has done anything in the NFL.. You can't even make a argument if we're going by what they have done in the NFL.. You do know that right??

21 reps is alot more than the 13 he did at the combine. Might wanna double check those Arkansas weights. Sounds like one of them might be made of candy. I kid, he looks like he should be lifting about 20 but why the low lift the first time? He looks like a willing blocker and in time should be better than Olsen at it as he looks more stocky but I wouldn't call him dominant, he can get blown up by larger guys. Im not gonna poo on a guy that has sure hands but at 30 that pick looks a little rich. Some thought the same about shaq so I won't say it'll never happen. But we seem to be on the high side of what we're paying TE's as it is so I doubt it happens. Our secondary looks like a much bigger need right now. We passed on Byron Jones last year in favor of another LB, so who knows what Getty and Ron want.

All I want from this offseason is a quick athletic OT. 

We got killed by quick DEs this past year. 

This needs to be addressed.

Lawson will probably be drafted before Dodd, and definitely won't be there in the second round

Love the picks. It's hard enough to defend a bad ass TE, much less two. 

 

...Johnny Ringo - "You retired too?"

Doc Holiday- "Not me, I'm in my prime" 

Ringo- "Yea... You look it"

Was just checking out the composite Big Board at Fanspeak today.  They have a lot of excellent players falling to us in Round 1.  Here are the 10 highest-ranked players on the board in the mock I just did.  Wouldn't it be incredible to have the choice of Reed, Ogbah, Coleman, Dodd, Ifedi, Neal, Doctson?!   Some good players in that bunch.  Hard to believe some of these players will be there at #30. 

22 DT  JARRAN REED - ALABAMA

23 ILB  REGGIE RAGLAND - ALABAMA

24 DE  EMMANUEL OGBAH - OKLAHOMA STATE

25 WR  COREY COLEMAN - BAYLOR

26 DE  KEVIN DODD - CLEMSON

27 WR  MICHAEL THOMAS - OHIO STATE

30 OT  GERMAIN IFEDI - TEXAS A&M

31 S  KEANU NEAL - FLORIDA

34 WR  JOSH DOCTSON - TCU

35 S  KARL JOSEPH - WEST VIRGINIA

By contrast, these are the ten highest-ranked players for our pick at #30 when I used fanspeak's draft board.  Much less exciting a choice....  I'm not a fan of Alexander, Washington or Nkemdiche in round 1.  Would go with Clark, I guess...

According to this board, and the mock draft I posted above, the "reaches" by other teams which allowed a slew of good players to be available to us at #30 included:

• G Cody Whitehair, ranked at #33, picked at #22 by the Texans
• DT Kenny Clark, ranked at #44, picked at #23 by the Vikings
• DT Vernon Butler, ranked at #39, picked at #25 by the Steelers
• OT Jason Spriggs, ranked at #51, picked at #27 by Green Bay
• QB Connor Cook, ranked at #37, picked at #28 by the Chiefs
• QB Paxton Lynch, ranked at #32, picked at #29 by the Cardinals

With the exception of Cook, it's not too surprising to see those names in the first round.  It does suggest that there is fairly equal quality and depth from about #16 - #40, so we should be getting a decent player late in round 1.

Also in this draft, it was interesting to see how quickly CBs flew off the board:

• #2 ranked Ramsey was picked at #5 (Jags)
• #16 ranked Alexander was picked at #9 (Bucs)
• #28 ranked Jackson III was picked at #12 (Saints)
• #29 ranked Apple was picked at #15 (Rams)

I like the Hunter Henry pick @ 30, but if the "other" Henry (Derrick) is there I think we go with him. Don't see any way Shaq Lawson survives till the 2nd round, too much of a premium on pass rushers.
