2023 NFL Draft Official Game Thread (This is the thread WITH SPOILERS)

[Dollar]

No way do the Pats make this pick. I'm saying they trade down with KC, then trade back up with Baltimore 10 picks later.

Time for OT? Or wait for one of the 15 4th rounders that they have?

Now that Steen is gone, not sure there's much value. Maybe Warren?
Honestly might come out of this without any OT drafted, probably why they signed a bunch of guys.

Giants have 14 WRs on their roster now.

Quite the run on Volunteers.

 

[DJnVa]

[Steve Dillard]

[JM3]

I couldn't think of a good joke so I just left that out there for someone else to knock out lol

 

[DJnVa]

Oh no

[Cellar-Door]

lol, well that is certainly a guy

Edit- 158th on SMU's board, but 27th best remaining on the ESPN board

 

[JM3]

Smh

 

[OldeBeanTowne]

Different receivers that will be compared throughout their career, but I think I like Tillman more.

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

It’s always a safety.

 

[Justthetippett]

The real BB is back!

 

[ehaz]

Oh no

Lol there's the reach.

 

[Ale Xander]

Wtf?????

Sacro State?

WtF

wtf

wtf

 

[Devizier]

Hahaha

 

[Dollar]

Seems like one of those drafts where Belichick takes some random safety. I'll go with Ji'Ayir Brown out of Penn State.

Damn I missed!

Another old guy. He'll fit in with Strange last year (25) and White (24)
Mapu redshirted his true freshman season for the Sacramento State Hornets.[3] Mapu's redshirt junior seasonin 2020 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] As a redshirt senior, he was named second team All-Big Sky Conference.[5] Mapu used the extra year of eligibility granted to college athletes due to the COVID-19 pandemic and returned for a sixth season.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I think Most people have Marte as an ILB

 

[JM3]

Anytime you can take a 23 y/o 2nd team all sky nickelback instead of players people want, you kind of have to do it.

 

[DJnVa]

Okay...I mean, they like him, great, but I don't understand the plan now. I was surprised we picked 2 defenders and now we've picked 3...

 

[OldeBeanTowne]

Fuck.

 

[DJnVa]

Anytime you can take a 23 y/o 2nd team all sky nickelback instead of players people want, you kind of have to do it.

In fairness, they should never draft guys because people want them.

We drafted a guy in the THiRD ROUNd who couldn’t even make first team at Big Sky?

like for realz?

 

[Cellar-Door]

All positions of need though.
I assume the plan is... best guy available (at a need position)

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

I think the plan is to trade 4 4th rounders to move up from 5th to 2nd next year and select someone from Rutgers.

 

[Section15Box113]

FWIW, Mapu is #158 on SMU's positionally adjusted list.

 

[RoDaddy]

Jordan Richards, come on down...again

 

[Mloaf71]

Must not have been any random Rutgers grads available

 

[genoasalami]

Prospect Grade

"People" was mostly referring to other NFL teams in that sentence. Hopefully it works out.

He was 1st team and defensive player of the year

[DJnVa]

Still got 4 4th rounders tomorrow--and Downs and AT Perry, and Washington still there...for now.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Move LB

You’re right
The second year was in his fifth season m
He got 1st team in his sixth

Sacramento State S/LB Marte Mapu took a top-30 visit to Foxboro. Team source: "Bill loves him."

 

[BigJay]

NFL network loves Mapu. The "modern day linebacker".

 

[Marbleheader]

Who needs offense?

 

[OldeBeanTowne]

One of Jeremiah's favorite players in the draft.

 

[JM3]

He was not on my Mapu, but I guess he was on Bill's.

 

[scott bankheadcase]

For what it’s worth someone on the NFL network said Mapu is his favorite player in the draft
