[ALI624]

Please be Watson.

[RaineV1]

I the 49ers move to a 43 and Thomas or Buckner moves to DE.

Solomon Thomas would be more than interior rusher for them and would most likely play defensive end  in their 4-3 defense or maybe even some outside linebacker at times.

he's just not a true edge rusher - he can probably play d end in the run game but i just dont see him rushing from end

JAX==Adams I think

3 picks and 2 shocks.  

i think this is definitely more shocking than trubisky. with buckner and armstead they have a clear type on the front, and 2 guys to play the 3/5 positions. honestly, where does thomas go? i mean obviously he takes armsteads spot but they now have brand new first round picks who are gonna be hitting the bench often

Don't forget that people said the same thing when the Jets took Leonard Williams.

[JoeyFlex5]

this is gotta be fournette

i think its more likely that lynch or shanahan dont like one of armstead or buckner

Solomon Thomas goes nowhere near top 5 and all the "experts" will act amazed on the draft broadcast - fingers crossed John Lynch is at least somewhat competent for this one to come true

Gonna pull an @rossihunter2 and quote myself from the bold predictions thread

Yep.  Take top players when you can.

wasnt sheldon richardson being a total knucklehead at that point?

i would have said adams was potentially the pick but they were so quick...

certainly armstead. he kinda sucks

[ludy51]

There we go

[BOLDnPurPnBlacK]

Not a huge fan of Thomas and I have no idea was SF does with their DL now. Can all 3 play together??

 

Come on QBs and RBs. Let guys keep on fallin

[Grapple Raven]

That is a really cool look to put the teams logos on the building in the background in Philly~

[GrimCoconut]

The draft is falling nicely for us so far. 

[Cville-Raven]

Not a shocker

[ThatsMyJoeTerback]

fournettte

Exactly what I thought

[jazz1988]

I didn't really think they would pick a running back but it's a good pick.

they were shopping richardson and wilkerson at that point - think richardson had a suspension coming as well

[Davesta]

Here we go. Titans up Next. Will they go WR? Or defense

Jags picked really quickly.

 

There's no reason not to.

 

I don't understand why early teams take so long. Their draft board can't be shaken up very much when they're picking 1-6.

[Grapple Raven]

RB Leonard Fournette to the Jags!

[rossihunter2]

oh man these safeties are falling so much further than i thought they would

[ludy51]

Unfortunately I think Titans go Mike Williams here

[rmw10]

This one was obvious.  If Marrone wants to fix Bortles, he needed some help for him.

[hn68wb4]

Shocked that none of the safeites have come off the board yet

[arnie_uk]

How do I add someone to my ignore list

Some teams like to wait it out just in case a team calls them and offer them a trade they can't refuse.
