General 1st Round Draft Discussion

[frankw]

I would have thought after months of fans talking up Bridgewater culminating in barely managing to trade him for a sixth might have served as a cautionary tale but seeing folks trashing other fans for being skeptical about putting all our eggs in a basket with holes in it says otherwise. At best we are looking at a 50/50 chance Darnold can be an adequate starter after three years of bust status. Corner was a big void for us but Horn will have his work cut out for him to justify a top 8 pick. He was taken higher than Patrick Mahomes. These next few months are going to drag until we get football again. I will feel much better if we add some maulers to the offensive line on day 2.

When does this fan base not embarrass itself. Even more so as these people don't even watch the other NFL games much less CFB. Their takes are right out of First Take rofl

They watch only the Panthers and get their draft info from ESPN

To be fair the franchise embarrasses itself far more than the fanbase. The team loses, the fans react.

[Jared Patterson]

So many tackles and receivers we are soooooo straight.

Well yea when JR is your owner...I mean we have our "real" or what should be our real team u p in Buffalo going 13-3 and poo...

[Horny]

Most important position on defense, and in football.

Best defensive player in the draft as he was first selected defensive player in the draft.

[MHS831]

There are 5 tackles on the board---

Jenkins (he can play LT)

Radunz

Cosmi

Eichenberg

W. Little

We pick 8th, and there will be 2-3 WRs, a C, a S, an edge or two--expect a run on OTs, but we will have one or two from which to choose--I say Radunz, Eichenberg, Little.  We might even drop back. 

I also predict that Atlanta may draft Mond or Mills.

[BuzzCity24]

Atlanta is celebrating tonight, as they should,  for getting Pitts, but they would be smart now to get Mond or Mills.

Matt Ryan isn't Brees or Brady, or even Rodgers...and Julio ain't going to be around long if Ryan continues to fumble with all the weapons they give him year in and year out.

Why?  Did we lose the ability to draft more players?   Are we not allowed to select players in the next two days?  Who said there is no more top tier players left to pick?  Im getting confused by all the huddle panic after one pick, one, one f*cking pick and the season is over.  Not directed at you specifically but this place has go sh*t with all the drama going on over this.  

I don't get it. It's like people aren't using their brain anymore. We tried to get Stafford, another team offered more. We tried to get Watson, allegations showed up. There weren't many other options for us to get other than Darnold. We couldn't stay with Teddy. He showed what kind of QB he is and it wasn't enough.

After Lawrence, the rest of the QBs in the draft had about the same potential as Darnold and the same age. Darnold was drafted to an awful team with awful coaching and staff. This is essentially Darnold's rookie year and instead of giving up assets to get someone close to the same potential, the largest asset we gave up was a 2nd next year. 

I'm just glad we have a staff that recognizes mistakes or players not performing and moves on from them instead of sticking with him for far too long like our last regime did. I'm tired of all the bitching.

Just saw that the Jags picked up Travis Etienne in the first round too...  Wow...  Not sure if its mentioned in this thread(went back a few pages and didnt see any)....  Thats an impressive duo right there....

[Shocker]

Well the initial shock and beer have worn off so welcome to the team Jaycee.  Improves the secondary immensely so agree there.
