2018 NFL Draft Round 1 Game Thread NO SPOILERS PLEASE

[Deathofthebambino]

No issues with that pick at all. Losing Solder is huge, and the Pats have to shore up that offensive line. Pressure on Brady is the only thing that slows down their offense.

 

[DanoooME]

Ridley keeps sliding, wonder if this is where he stops.

 

[Ed Hillel]

This guy is too short to play tackle

Are they gonna jump over him?

 

[Silverdude2167]

This is a need but could have gotten later.

I loved these statements...

While we lose 45-38 in the Super Bowl

 

[DJnVa]

Someone tell me this is like when the Cowboys picked the center Frederick and everyone laughed at them.

Guys doing draft on ESPN Radio universally love this pick.

 

[rodderick]

With a 41 yo QB, no LT and the holes this team has on defense, this guy better be the second coming of Steve Hutchinson. Jesus fuck.

 

[eustis22]

convert him to TE

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I love the trench pick but was hoping for something sexier here, I confess.

 

[Ale Xander]

While we lose 45-38 in the Super Bowl

After Brady sacked on final drive?

 

[OnWisc]

If we had Wynn last year maybe we woulda scored more than 33 fucking points in the Super Bowl.

 

[riboflav]

Do you guys just copy & paste your reactions every year? It's like no one here has actually followed BB's career.

 

[ElcaballitoMVP]

Wynn might not be tall enough to play LT, but he's a beast. I'm fine with the pick. Keep old man Brady upright.

 

[DJnVa]

I love the trench pick but was hoping for something sexier here, I confess.

Guys are sliding...

 

[SMU_Sox]

So I am really high on Wynn but I think he profiles better as a guard. I like the pick though because he provides a valuable role as a swing tackle and backup guard. He was a really good tackle though and we have Scar. I thought it might be a possibility that they'd go OT here and I get the need. Honestly, I think in terms of BPA it might have been Wynn for them.

 

[eustis22]

And the winner of this years Eugene Chung Award.....

 

[rodderick]

After Brady sacked on final drive?

If that's the argument, they should've publicly executed Logan Mankins and drafted about 5 guards in the 2008 draft.

 

[Ed Hillel]

You realize we lost the best player on our OL since then?

And you haven’t followed the careers of these posters!!!

ThumbsUp.cool

 

[dcmissle]

“Saturday pick” not fair. Projected in rounds 1 and 2.

It is fair to wonder about the defense.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

I think @pappymojo has the only pick in the draft contest.

 

[SMU_Sox]

For those curious Wynn is 6th (as a guard) on ITP's big board. I know the NDT guys love him too. After the initial shock wore off the more I like this pick.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

And the winner of this years Eugene Chung Award.....

Is this an award for posting irrelevance?

 

[DJnVa]

Okay. You side with Jerry Curl and his draft research.

 

[Pxer]

Looking more like Cannon at LT.

 

[Ed Hillel]

20 hurries in 2415 snaps in the SEC.

That’s insane.

 

[Average Game James]

So the thing I'm trying to remind myself is that OL isn't considered a strong group in this year's draft, and is a glaring need, while there will still be impact defensive players through the first 3 rounds...

 

[mwonow]

I think @pappymojo has the only pick in the draft contest.

I think you're right

 

[CreedBratton]

Wanted Jackson badly. He’s gonna be a star. Brady’s successor was right there for the taking. Teams are gonna regret passing on him same as Deshaun Watson.

Good thing they have more than 1 pick. Hang in there.

 

[eustis22]

never ever take a WR in the first round

 

[Jerry’s Curl]

How many years would they have let him hold a clipboard?

 

[OnWisc]

I do. I actually have no problem with the pick. In the wake of the Super Bowl I couldn't fathom not taking defensive player after defensive player, but I'll defer to Bill and I never have a problem taking an offensive lineman.

 

[DanoooME]

Many mocked Ridley to BAL at 15, he kind of has to go to them at 25.

Atlanta probably goes DT, then Seattle has to decide between Harold Landry and another trade down (leaning towards the trade).

 

[Ed Hillel]

Jackson will still be there at 31 I think.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Who do you think takes Jackson before the Pats pick again at 31?

 

[Remagellan]

Yeah, the Giants really regret the one they took a few years ago...

It's not over yet. The only possible team needing a QB between now and #31 is Jacksonville, barring a trade.

[SMU_Sox]

Wynn. For those curious:

6th on ITP's Board
11th on Jon Ledyard's Board
10th on Kyle Crabbs Board
11th on Joe Marino's Board

He is the 2nd best guard prospect in the class and has the potential to play tackle. He's a stud. Great pick. Not sexy but smart.

Ravens?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I think they're re-committed to Bortles now after his showing in the playoffs.

 

[Ale Xander]

Not Josh Jackson to replace Sherman?

 

[Jerry’s Curl]

It's not over yet. The only possible team needing a QB between now and #31 is Jacksonville, barring a trade.

And they signed Bortles to a $54 million deal in February

 

[DanoooME]

Arms are too short.

Edit: They will wait until 4th/5th round to pick CBs.

 

[Jerry’s Curl]

Roethlisberger doesn’t have much left in the tank IMO

 

[DanoooME]

Then the Ravens shouldn't be interested in Jackson based on this idea.

 

[DJnVa]

Oh God—Lamar is sliding. Please.
