Used to be pretty wild kid. Real thug apparently.

Which is why I was surprised.  Shows anyone can change and grow up.

PFTCommenter with the hot takes again

Garett Bolles seems like a good, likable dude.

Nailed the Bolles to Denver pick.  Just had a gut feeling they loved him.

Great pick for TB.  Crab legs should be happy.

I'm really glad Ozzie finally bought into the "you can never have too many corners" mantra he's been touting for years.

Never really bought into Adoree as a true 1st round CB but the talent is there.  Needs a lot of work though.

guys, I wrote a thread 2 years ago saying we are entering a dark era. I can say right now that we are. We will have a top 4 pick next year. With so much depth in CB's this year he goes and gets one that isnt even close to the top 4

 

him and his stupid alabama crap

You hate the pick?

Let's see if the Awuzie/TEN rumors are legit.

Same, maybe people not valuing TE as much?

Deep draft at the position, I guess.  No one that can do what Howard does though.

So the question is...what do the Ravens do with Carr?

Play him.  Play Jimmy.  Play Tavon.  Play Marlon.  It's not that hard.  Always room for secondary players in today's NFL.

I am fine with it, getting our secondary set finally. Howard would have been awesome though but that is my only real complaint. Guessing we didn't like Allen or Foster

Thinking the medicals and/or red flags (in the latter's case) factored in with them.

I wasn't sure what to think on Howard.  Think he's a great talent so kind of shocked he's fallen this far.

He fits like a glove in the Dean Pees defense.

Yep.  You and I have talked about this possibility quite a bit.

Commence freak out.

I like the pick.  Better than many around here think.

BPA for the Colts.  Nice pick.

I am feeling Howard and I would not mind one bit. No spoilers, just a feeling

Him and Hooker are the only "non-needs" that I'd take without question.

Reddick hype was real.

Just now, Adreme said:

So if Green Bay had the power to draft Luck a few years ago they should have done it?  BPA does require they actually see the field.  I am not advocating for drafting purely based on need because teams that do that lose.  I am advocating against blindly following a board and ignoring what players you actually have.  Going from Weddler to Hooker is a small upgrade at best, but grabbing Reddick or Barnett or even trading back to grab great 2nd round picks is a MUCH bigger upgrade to the roster overall.

The goal of the draft is to make your roster stronger and I would rather go from a 3 to an 8 at a major impact position then an 9 to a 9.5.

QB is different because you can't get both guys on the field.  You can easily gets 3 safeties.

Will 'Zona go Howard?

That's my guess.  Niklas never worked out and Gresham isn't anything special.

True . I honestly thought he was best quarterback in this draft .

I think Houston gives him that chance.  It all depended on where he went and I think this was the best possible place for him.

Just now, Adreme said:

Look at the top 5 picks for the past 10 years.  Tell me how many are top 5 players at there position.  I am GIVING you the fact that he pans out.  Is that small of an upgrade worth giving up a MASSIVE upgrade at pass rush.  I would rather trade back and take an O-Line and grab an extra 2 then make that pick because this draft is so deep.

Again, best player available.  Weddle at 32 isn't going to factor into me passing on a potential transcendent talent.

I think Watson is a great fit in Houston.  Great defense to carry him and a solid array of weapons around him.  We know he can turn it on when the lights are bright.

Just now, Adreme said:

Lets assume that he pans out (realistically 20% chance of this) to his potential and is a top 3 NFL safety.  Is that a bigger upgrade then picking one of the top pass rushers or trading back and grabbing a second and building more weapons?  I love BPA but you balance that against how much an upgrade over the current position are they.

Where do you get a 20% chance?  That's just adding numbers to state your case.  My case is this.  If Hooker is as high on the Ravens board as he is mine, you take him.

More good news as this is likely Watson.
