[rossihunter2]

would have taken carl lawson, fabian moreau, ardarius stewart, chris godwin over chris wormley but tim williams is a steal

So does Zay Jones!

Not really.  Zay Jones was taken at pick 5 of the 2nd round, while we picked at pick 15.  That's a big difference.

Ozzie just confirmed that Elflein was sniped from us and that's why we ended up with Wormley.  He didn't say Elflein but he said some offensive players were taken a pick or a few picks before we were up.  Elflein fits that perfectly.  

 

Yeah, but tbh I am glad that happened. That would have been a reach for need. The center class is terrible this year. 

Finally, we stopped drafting choir boys and we hit it out of the park (bowser, williams) 

 

We are going to need to with all the offensive talent the Bengals brought in

Call Q Ozzie

Yea, its almost automatic that Boldin is coming back now, isn't it?

Still a void at ILB. 

The 2nd round pick last year is probably going to be the starting ILB.  If he doesnt win the job its because some random UDFA  made the roster and is going to play at a pro bowl level like what always happens with that other ILB spot.

Weddle won't be happy when the defense is out there for 80-90 plays a game because the offense is either going 3 and out or turning it over from no blocking and junk pass catchers.

Not if it's a 3 and out for the opposing offense every time hahaha

I cannot express how excited I am with this draft. The Humphrey and wormley picks, by themselves, aren't sitting well with me, but adding in bowser and rivers and it makes sense. We aren't playing anymore. 4th quarter leads are done being blown, by any means necessary we're gonna completely destroy every opposing offense. Marlon Humphrey will never show a weakness because he has every competitive edge a corner could ask for lmao. This defense is going to be absolutely ridiculous. 

Blowing leads definitely seems to be the priority,

Ozzie better be calling Q and Mangold right now

I think Ozzie's going to dinner with them after this draft

If it was him, I think we sign Mangold next week. I think it was Kupp, though.

So the formula for 2017 is the 2000 defense mixed with a little 2012 Offense that helped us win the Super Bowl?

 Lol sorry but it's the truth.  Ozzie said it multiple times.   I'm thinking we wanted WR Taylor and OL Feeney and Elflein.  They fit the mold and the range he mentioned.

With the WIlliams pick, i would think Bowser would be ILB

Newsome said the potential is there to pick up more picks by potentially trading back in the fourth round.

[horus13]

I guess, how much longer on eli's contract?

I need some compassion Grim, lmao!  I am hurting big time.

[hn68wb4]

Not going to try and make sense of that pick announcement...

[ALI624]

Having Eflein and Feeney go back to back killed me.

Goodwin and Williams just made more sense ... than Wormley. Wormley better be awesome, especially if Goodwin pans out. He just looks like the kind of receiver we need

I know pff isn't the end all be all, but they said he didn't play well because of injuries this season, but he was Solomon Thomas in 2015 high remarks considering Thomas went #3 overall

Great, push the average offensive talent back even farther.

Bowser is a guy you can play on all three downs. Williams is more of a 3rd down pass rush specialist i.e. Dumervil.

surprised they got davis webb this late considering the buzz but tbh this is a good pick for them

[ellicottraven]

Man let's recount the draft so far. Now Marlon Humphrey pick is looking pretty darn good actually. So, we have him, Tyus Bowser, Wormley and Tim Williams. All in all will infuse real talent to our defense. But poor Flacco needs some help in protection. I think it is Dunlap and Mangold as free agent acquisitions.

Both Correa and Bowser are athletic enough to play inside. We're going to get creative, no team will know who's going to be doing what.

Williams is a one dimensional situational guy.

[PuRock]

Carl Lawson has really dropped.  Some were talking about him in the 1st.
