I Love This Draft

At first glance, I wasn't so happy with the Luke Kuechly pick, but, I was glad it wasn't Quinton Coples. As the time wore on, and I thought about the situation, I realized how much I absolutely loved the Kuechly pick, and how he will be an instant upgrade to our LB corp, making it one of the best in the NFL. Whether be plays Will or Mike, he will provide an immediate impact to our team, and give James Anderson a break for a while, allowing him to make plays outside of the box.

(I do think that Kuechly will be the Mike, moving Beason outside to the Will. It will allow Kuechly to play coverage over the middle, allow Beason to prowl one side of the field, and blitz like a mad-man.)

Then, we took Silatolu. I definitely did not like the pick, especially since Tru Johnson was still on the board. However, I thought about it last night, and I realized that, if Silatolu is as good as everyone thinks he is, our left side of the offensive line is going to be mean, and it needs to be. We need to protect Cam's blindside. We need to protect him. Silatolu gives us someone who will solidify that position for ten years, becoming an anchor to the line. Good pick.

Everyone freaked out about the trade for Frank Alexander, but I love it. He has been cleared to play, no heart conditions. One of the analysts said it was all Riley Reiff could do to hold him off. He's fast from what I've seen, he has an impact, and Hurney said he could come in and play immediately. Also, he gives us a guy to light a fire underneath Hardy's ass. No more motorcycle accidents, Kraken, it's time you get to playin', or else Alexander's going to be starting.

Then we get to Joe Adams. Mother of God. This guy. He's an absolute monster. He can return punts, kicks, play slot receiver, play running back, it doesn't really matter. He can do it all. I honestly think he'll be Offensive Rookie of the Year. He is that kind of special. He has fumbled 11 times in his career, but, some of those are counted as muffed punts early in his career. I wouldn't worry about it. He's going to be a monster in the NFL. The next Percy Harvin, but without the migraines.

Then comes Josh Norman. I heard the only reason he didn't go in the 2nd round, was because he's from such a small school. But, he gives size to our DBs, he's fast, and has really long arms. He apparently is a special teams monster, too (he blocked 4 kicks in his career). He's friends with Mike Tolbert, and he played High School ball with Armanti. So, he has some friends coming into the team, which generates good chemistry.

Now, all we need is Drew Butler and BPA, and we're going to be stacked for next year.

Funny you say that. Joe Adams actually does have a history of migraines.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
