Draft a Franchise: Discussion Thread

[Guest nflfan123]

That pick would require the best medical staff in the NFL to be effective

Yup

Huh?

[GrimCoconut]

I have a couple, but one of them is going to SAM :(

I wonder if we're thinking the same. PM?

Has anyone been paying attention to the Draft? Brandon Myers has been picked.
I think he's a tough hardworking reliable player, but the two knocks on him are his poor blocking and he doesn't produce many yards after the catch. Not to mention he was a one year wonder in Greg Knapp's TE heavy offense. However, I think he will be the perfect security blanket for Matt Schaub.

I like myers. He's a bit underrated as a player and still has room to improve.

I like the Kerley pick. Quite a bit

Pick is in in case anyone was wondering

[GrimCoconut]

Nobody will pick him. I'll be surprised if someone died but I really like a pass rusher named Adewale Ojomo. I think he's a hidden gem on NYG.

What dumb*** picked Brandon Williams? Banned from the boards.

Good pick. I like Kerley

[gabefergy]

Really like the Kerley pick. I was hoping to snag him later as a 3rd WR.

Who do you think you are?

[5superbowlsandproud!]

Damn it, Kerley was my sleeper slot guy.

Glad I could steal him from you.

Thanks, he was phenomenal last year with horrific QB play.

 

Good pick. I like Kerley

Thanks.

I also like Ojomo quite a bit.

You got something you would like to say to me?

[gabefergy]

Pick is in, I feel like I got a very high caliber guard here pretty late. Chris Snee has been one of the most consistent players at his position over the past 5-6 seasons.

Snee is old but a great player

Nice pick

Great pick! The only reason he dropped is age.

[RavensAllTheWay]

Good pick in Snee.

[gabefergy]

He's only 31, not that old for an interior lineman.

Nice pick. I had him in my top 5 guards available. I don't think he's too old considering the position he plays and has not been particularly injury prone.

[The Oakland Cathedral]

I know. But that is still the wrong side of 30.

[SecretAgentMan]

If I only knew he was still there lol

[Yatagarasu]

Late round is where I shine...

The age debate is a tough one. In my opinion, I would rather get a young and rising talent that can be a cornerstone for your franchise than have an aged and established veteran who could give you a few years of service. However, I wouldn't mind getting stopgap veterans that could fill in my needs. So far, my team is infused with young and priming talents. I think my oldest player is Alex Smith at age 29. So I'm sacrificing established talent for the future. Good thing QBs have one of the best longevity, so I think I can get seven years out of Smith. He's not a Top Tier QB, but a superior Game Manager. Now that we're in the mid-rounds, any talent will do because I need some veterans too with a mix of rookies.

seven years of Alex Smith?

I give my condolences to your team's fan base 

[Yatagarasu]

However this tactic wouldn't work in real life because of the salary cap. You have to get the right player at the right price, regardless of age. I think how Ozzie has mixed the team with veterans and rookies to make us competitive for years, not now.
