I'm a culprit at my latest pick, so I'll take some blame, but I agree.  The number of trades going on has really slowed the progress.  We did get 2 rounds in less than a week which isn't awful but we could be going a lot faster.

Two years ago we got through 100 picks in 8 days.  Last year I believe it was about this pace, maybe slower.

Rookies seldom make great centers. The center has to make so many pre-snap reads that rookies usually do need to grow into that position. It takes 2 or 3 yrs.
So I think that a trade if they don't sign Mangold is more likely for a center for this season. They can then draft a prospect later in the draft.

Whitehair was a 2nd round pick last year and was a top 10 center last year.  Yes, it doesn't happen that often, but it can without question be better than what we had last year.

This could be awhile @berad hasn't been on in over 5 hours.

I wish I understood the comp pick formula better. But I'm almost certain that Carr doesn't count against that formula.

so in this scenario. Is Jefferson canceled out by Juice or Wagner? If ts juice then Wagner lands us a 3rd. If Wagner then juice probably lands us a 4th or 5th

to me, if your expecting a 3rd round comp the. It's worth passing fighting for but if all you get is a 4th or a 5th then heck go out and get the best FA you can

Players who are cut don't count against the comp pick formula.  Players who become fa due to a contract expiring count against the formula.

Like Moton a lot and once Budda Baker and Jones were gone I was going back and forth with Moton and Lawson before settling in on Lawson.  Big fan of Moton and love his versatility. 

I am still looking to move up in the draft.  Have picks 3.26, 3.38, 3.42 and 4.11

Budda Baker was my No1

and Carl Lawson No2

since mid second, so I definitely agree on the value

Yep, Budda Baker was number 1 on my board as well as @ArsenalRaven666.  It definitely through a curveball at the Browns GM.

Outstanding Pick in Carl Lawson 

Appreciate it Paraydise, Lawson is a really good value at this point in the draft.

With the 22nd pick in the 2nd Round of the 2017 Forum Draft, the

Seattle Seahawks select:

Carl Lawson | Edge | Auburn

Was going Awuzie at 14 but was hoping either Melifonwu or Baker made it to me at 20 or could then trade back.   The long delays and timing didn't help as everyone that wanted to trade up earlier are now either offline or suspiciously quiet

I'm in the same situation that my trade partners aren't online and I pick right after you. That being said, I'm most likely going to make my pick.

Washington fans were generous there

Exactly my take

Just saw on NFL.com that the Carr contract is essentially a 1 yr contract with the only guaranteed money in year 1

I really fell in love with his tape. He's a high-effort guy with a nose for the ball and he's a surprisingly sure tackler. He's got good block shedding ability, and he was listed as a LB at Washington in some news articles because he lined up as more of a box safety in most games I watched. He switched to the nickleback role at times as well. I'll probably slot him in at SS for now with Darrelle Revis at FS. 

Forgot you have Revis, makes sense.

The Seahawks  have two 3rd round comps that are available for trade.  Trying to move up.

Love Baker as a player.  Extremely smart, takes great angles.  Like him more as a true center field high safety though.

Sidney Jones was one of the best corners but isn't he out for the year ??

Yes, he's out for the year, but represents great value at this point in the draft.

Good pick in Sidney Jones.  It will be interesting to see where he goes in the draft.  I certainly wouldn't mind the Ravens grabbing him in the 2nd

P.S. La Canfora is really bad at his job. 

That's nothing new.  Living in the DC area, when he covered the skins he was nicknamed 50-50

I kid... I kid...

Maybe all of our plays should line up that far from scrimmage.

I personally feel that the DT group from top-to-bottom is underwhelming.

That's what happens when all the DTs come out early in the previous year

Dont know if Brandon Carr signing a 4yr contract changes the draft for the Ravens.  Will wait for the figures before judging

 

It's a 2 yr contract with an option.

 Pick 2.22 is available for anyone looking to trade up.

Deshawn Shead is on the trade block for the right offer

Since Jason La Canfora is the one stating Morris Claiborne is expecting to sign with the Ravens... I am 95% sure that Morris Claiborne will not sign with the Ravens. 

JLC is the biggest fraud.  I could swear he creates his own sources and over 50% of the time he's wrong.

Glad we had a nice run this evening. We certainly needed it to get us back on track.
