And the run on DB’s continues

I was all on board for EITHER drafting Kinlaw, or a good CB if one was available. The best LB if all else failed.

All else failed. Kinlaw wasn't there because TD let John Lynch out-maneuver him. There wasn't a mid first-round worthy CB available. We had our pick of linebackers! So TD drafted--- a scrub loser who got roasted like a marshmallow at a girlscout camp-a-thon. I'm not angry--- FURIOUS--- that TD didn't draft Kinlaw. I am angry because he allowed himself to be out-maneuvered by a TV color analyst, then panicked and failed to draft any of a host of better players than Victory Road.

Hard to maneuver when no one wants to trade. You’re just pissed because after all the mock drafts you read and done the player you thought we would take wasn’t there and now it’s tantrum time. Gotta admit though watching you meltdown like hot ice cream is hilarious.

If we were going to panic-mode pick a day-2 player at #16, I would have preferred Justin Madubuike.

At 16?? Lmao...and your *****ing about reaching? You should just quit for the night instead of making a fool of yourself. That dude will likely be available in the third round.

He was just as bad in the Hurst thread

Its pretty funny that the instant grade on the Terrell pick is about a C+

But looking at how the board fell by the end of the round it was easily a B+ pick.

Another thing i don't understand about that grade at all is we took what was considered the 3rd or 4th best CB in the draft depending on who you ask and got a C+ for is and the Raiders like 2 or 3 picks later took the 8th rated CB in the draft which was rated quite a bit lower than Terrell on their own boards and they get a B for it that made no sense at all lol.

Yeah, he may actually know what he is doing. 
 

Terrell is a great CB prospect. He was higher on many GMs boards than the analysts. Go figure.

I re watched the LSU game, and it wasnt nearly as bad as I thought. He didnt give up a single catch 2nd half and had like 4 PBUs going against Chase. But folks only remember the bad so thats cool too. We got a really good player 

Im gonna admit i never once watched that LSU game tape until tonight just because i didn't want his worst game making me completely hate him as a prospect with how bad people were knocking him on it.    After watching it im not sure wtf everyone hated him so much for on it.  The 1st big catch he gave up the WR had a pretty big push off to get separation and thats probably OPI in the nfl.    The 2nd big one he was literally right in ole buddys pocket stride for stride and my god what a phenomenal throw by Burrows that was.  Im not sure many Cb's could have stopped that one even the elite of the nfl would have had very little chance to stop it with that throw.    The 3rd one i'll give them he got beat a good bit on the end zone throw he was still there sorta and it was a good throw but the WR got the better of him there imo. 

So 1 meh play in the end zone  1 offensive pushoff and 1 elite level spot throw by the QB is what everyones all up in arms about?   I seen quite a few plays earlier that he made some really good stops on and seen after he gave up those 3 plays he battled back alot in the 2nd half and didn't give up much at all.    Im not nearly as worried as i was about that game now after watching his film on it.  I think people extremely exaggerating how bad he did in that game as for me it only 1 really meh or below avg play i saw in the film in the endzone.

Pete prisco is an idiot if that’s who’s grades you are looking at.  He also said Detroit made a mistake by taking Okudah at 3 instead of Derrick brown cause “you always go with the big guy”.  Some people just are stuck in their ways of how football used to be and can’t adapt.  He’s one of them.

I don't necessarily disagree but the entire nfl ignored the Dline....Young, Brown and Kinlaw were the only defensive linemen drafted if I am not mistaken.

 

 

For a reason.  NFL is changing.  Coverage matters.

San Francisco was clearly willing to trade.

Not with the Falcons, they weren’t giving us Kinlaw. I guess in your mind we could’ve traded with anyone? All week long we were the team being the most aggressive to move up and the only trade ahead of us was a baby swap of 13/14. Once you wrap your head around this fact the better off you’ll be.

Bottom 2? We have six corners now so other than the new signee who do see as camp competitors?

I still hope we target Kindle Vildor later in the draft.

I think we roll with Oliver Sheff and AJ as starters. Blidi provides depth. Hawkins or Miller battle it out for 5th and I think we go CB again later in the draft. A project in the 7th.

Who are our linebackers again? I guess we’ll find out on day 2. Should be interesting. 

pretty sad you don't know the 2nd best player on the defense and one of the best at his position in the league is our starting ILB...Foye is also the other starter and Fowler...+ Reynolds and Robinson now

they didn't ignore it. It's because there was no Dline except them worth a 1st round pick..Marlon Davidson is the next best DL and he's clearly a 2nd round tweener. Gross Matos sucks and has major character issues

Yeah I’ve been a fan of this team 20 years. I know who Deion Jones is. What’s pReTtY sAd is our linebacking corps outside of Deion. Could’ve upgraded. Next time you try to hit me with the depth chart try reading between the lines of my comments or don’t quote me at all

Those who are all butthurt about a trade not happening.....IT TAKES 2 TO TANGLE!! Nobody wanted to lose their spot as I believe this draft only will get interesting today. 

This. We all wanted Henderson and Okudah but who knows what these teams wanted or if they were willing to trade at all. Much as we think we do we don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. I b*tched ab the pick last night cuz I wanted Murray and he was available but it is what it is now lol.

Exactly bro. I mean personally I like Diggs pedigree and ball skills more. AJ played some tough competition and he was anywhere from the 3-5 best CB. Well 6 went last night. We wait we lose out on a top CB in the draft. I wish the best for him and I’m always rooting for the DBs as an ex DB. I want a safety now as I believe we could run more Big Nickel with Neal in box or covering seams and flats.

Yeah I think we almost have to go safety now and I would’ve hated Delpit at 16 but I’d love him in the second or any of the top S left really. I like Delpit ball skills but hate that he can’t tackle. We could have a couple ball hawks back there tho if we draft Delpit
