2017 NFL Draft Day 1 "Game Thread"

[BmoreBird22]

Apparently the 49ers were very enamored with this player to the point that they would have taken him much earlier in trade back scenarios, so it works to get him at 31.

[Sami84]

I don't see how we can put a competitive offense out there. It's just not possible..

this has to be the worst O in the league. 

 

[cobrajet]

OMG just tell us the damn pick

Maybe. But we got next year to fix it.

Frankly I don't blame them. 5 minute commercial breaks after every pick? The 49ers have probably already submitted their choice at this point, and they haven't announced PIttsburgh's yet.

There's no reason 32 draft picks should take 4 hours.

I agree. Advertising nightmare lmao I like betting on the picks and trying to predict them as they come up.

They're being smart. Take good players with upside, and wait for a year where there's actually NFL-caliber QBs in the draft.

They can field the team they have and still finish with a top 5 pick easily just based on talent alone.

Their very strategy since 1954. Rattle off these qbs that are coming down the pike? Wait for what? The other 5 -8 teams with nfl qbs to contract from the league?

[Grapple Raven]

Steelers select Watt.

 

[redlobster]

Get this garbage steelers stuff off the draft, just announce the pick

[gtalk12]

it's stupid that in the 1st round they could get so far behind as well - why do they need so much analysis on every pick... just make sure you dont get too far behind

[RavensDieHard21]

TJ though, that hurt big time. Edge guys are getting plucked quick. 

[JO_75]

Our reactionary pick tomorrow will be..... Cam Robinson!

[JoeyFlex5]

Ok it wasn't McDowell. Thank god. I love tj watt but didn't think he'd be there at 47

[Moderator 3]

Ouch.  Poor Flacco.

[cobrajet]

Well the Steelers passed on Foster also.

[Edgar]

Tj Watt to Pittsburgh....ugh

[Ravensfolyfe]

Oh lord get on wit it already

[redlobster]

I wouldn't have problem with it. Getting a mauler at guard is something we neeed.

[Ravensfolyfe]

[MadStorkSociety]

We have 3 picks tomorrow. Hope we nail it. Lots of holes to fill

[Sami84]

id say we're one of the losers of todays draft.

[redlobster]

Well SF pick is in, saw it on twitter 

[JoeyFlex5]

didnt actually think he would fall to 47. just hate that we have to face him twice a year. hes gonna make our life hell. the steelers now have an unquestioned elite defense

NO! JUST NO. Not gonna happen. Not at all. No thanks. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. nope

 

Trade up for Lamp

[hn68wb4]

I hate that, if they develop him right he'd going to be damn good, hopefully they don't.

McDowell is my guy for our next pick, I'd honestly trade up for him. Jernigan was the same type of questionable motor guy, but I think McDowell is just better.

[BBoogieMan]

Don't put too much stock into mocks and draft "experts" but only WF had Humphries as a solid top-half 1st rounder (#2 behind Lattimore). Most were late-1st to early 2nd behind or near Jackson, Conley, King, Wilson. Awuzie, and White.

Does seem like a reach. Most def not BPA
