Re: What DON'T you want to see happen in tonight's draft?
I know a highly reputable source that says this is the best skills position draft since Fred Flintstone went 1.01 to the Pterodactyls.Vcize wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 10:57 amI am not some huge draftnik, but a couple of sites/draftniks have recently released their prospect grades for the last 10 years including this year and both have this year's top 3 WRs as easily the best top 3 WR class in that span.

I'm not saying that's right or wrong, but I think the NFL is higher on this group of WRs then you are giving them credit for. If anything I think Waddle/Smith would be the 1st WR off the board most years.

Re: What DON'T you want to see happen in tonight's draft?
I don’t want to see the Eagles draft Kwity Paye at 1.12 and the organization spend the next couple months trying to convince everyone he’s the next Brandon Graham (though he’s an all-time Eagle now, he took many years to develop and DE isn’t the most pressing need).
I also don’t want to see the Bills or Bucs take a RB early.

Re: What DON'T you want to see happen in tonight's draft?
I agree Paye isn't a great value at 12, but DE not being a "need" should be irrelevant. Eagles aren't winning this year, just adding the best talent available to build around is what they should do. Preferably an OL or receiving weapon to give Hurts some support to help demonstrate whether or not he really is the longterm answer at QB for them, and the value does potentially line up at those positions if Slater, Devonta or Waddle are there.Ruggenater wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 11:12 am I don’t want to see the Eagles draft Kwity Paye at 1.12 and the organization spend the next couple months trying to convince everyone he’s the next Brandon Graham (though he’s an all-time Eagle now, he took many years to develop and DE isn’t the most pressing need).

Re: What DON'T you want to see happen in tonight's draft?
I'm confident Devonta would easily step in and be better than Shepard and Slayton day 1 no problem. I don't want that for his as I see NYG as a train wreck with DJones and he would still be 3rd behind Barkley and Golladay in pecking order for the foreseeable future.Dynasty DeLorean wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 10:42 amThis doesn't make any sense to me.

Re: What DON'T you want to see happen in tonight's draft?
Agree with that line of thinking as well. You have a high pick, take a blue chip prospect, not a player you could imagine possibly developing into something great someday.bjd5211 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 11:16 amI agree Paye isn't a great value at 12, but DE not being a "need" should be irrelevant.

Re: What DON'T you want to see happen in tonight's draft?
I just looked at the actual lists again and it was less than 10 years, but it caught me offguard too. I'm not sure if it's just two outliers or if the people in the loop are higher on these WRs than we are, but these guys do get a lot of their data from actual NFL teams.Dynasty DeLorean wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 11:05 amThat sounds absolutely ridiculous to me.

Re: What DON'T you want to see happen in tonight's draft?
Everyone knows that they need defense but the Cowboys taking Lamb last season was considered a steal. He was really good as a rookie too and that was without Dak for 11 games and most of our Oline, so I don’t know how that’s considered a boneheaded move, but ok. Also, they went defense with several of their next picks, including Trevon Diggs in the second round, who also had a solid rookie season as a starting rookie CB. I know there’s always these anti-Cowboys narratives out there but they’ve been “mostly” a very solid drafting team the last decade.realmacaroni wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 11:38 am For strictly FF purposes, i’d love to see Dallas bonehead it per usual and draft a receiver in the first.

Re: What DON'T you want to see happen in tonight's draft?
If they had a more aggressive GM, it'd be interesting to see NY sell Daniel Jones if they can move up for a QB. The cost from 11 to 7 wouldn't be much, and a team would have at least a year to test Jones before an extension is an option.

Re: What DON'T you want to see happen in tonight's draft?
I think it is just because of Zeke and Lamb being such unnecessary picks with premium draft capital. A RB in the first let alone at 4 is just awful value no matter how well he does (especially with the Oline at the time that could make old McFadden a 1k yard rusher) and grabbing Lamb to do no better than Gallup did the year before is mind boggling TBH. IF it was AJG/Julio/Megatron I'd get it, but I dont think Lamb is head and shoulders above the rest of the WRs in the past couple of years (this year included) like how those three were. I dont know all of the ins and outs of that day but trading out would have been a better use of the pick.Cowboysfan33 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 3:52 pmEveryone knows that they need defense but the Cowboys taking Lamb last season was considered a steal.

Re: What DON'T you want to see happen in tonight's draft?
I agree about Zeke at #4. I actually wanted Jalen Ramsey in that draft. With that being said, Zeke has been wildly successful, so it’s not like they picked a bad player, just probably should’ve went defense that year. I totally disagree about Lamb, he was great and Gallup is a potential FA after this season, so if they decide to use their cap money elsewhere, they got Cooper and Lamb locked up for the nests 3-4 seasons, they got Lamb at #17, that was a steal by most accounts, if it had been any other team besides the Cowboys, people would’ve really been gushing about it. Also, kinda not a good comparison with Lamb’s rookie season to Gallup’s 2019 season, being that 3 of our 5 starters were out most of the season on the Oline and Dak was out 11 games, that makes a huge difference. Lamb still put up 74-935 5 TDs and another 80 yards 1TD rushing, plus a special teams TD. I’m not sure how much more people would expect out of a WR picked 17th his rookie season with all of the injuries around him.nathanq42 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 4:16 pmI think it is just because of Zeke and Lamb being such unnecessary picks with premium draft capital.
