RIPPA Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Forgot we had a draft thread John Ross ran an official 4.22 40 thus breaking Chris Johnson's 40 record of 4.24 EDIT - Of course he appeared to tweak his hammy and won't do anymore drills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I assume everyone is still doing the "spoiler free" version (ie not showing the players taking phone calls and thus tipping off the announcements). I think they stopped doing that a few years ago due to complaints but it was annoying enough that I am forever scarred by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Eh, I'd like to know all the picks the day before the draft starts, so I don't have to care. Guard? LB? K. Next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APO Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The name has been revealed, Gareon Conley from Ohio State, and he's obviously denying the shit out of the allegations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I think the Bills are in a good "spot" this year at 10, as I think they'll have multiple choices of quality players on offense to choose from (either Watson, Davis, or Howard). But I really like the idea of a team that may want a QB and has a favorite (Bears, Texans) trading up to get ahead of Cleveland pick #2 and ARZ to get their QB. 1st Round trade packages are crazy. Course I never assume a trade since there are so many moving parts, but I don't think the Bills will have to reach to get a quality player that could have an impact in 2017 (if they stay healthy of course). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I have no clue with this draft. I could see all three QBs gone by the Texans pick at 25 or all three still there. My gut says the Texans go with Mahomes, I'll only really hate it if we go with Kizer, but my dream scenario is all three QBs are gone and we "settle" for Reuben Foster ILB, Alabama.

Dolfan in NYC Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 LaCanfora says the Browns are "in negotiations with several teams" to move up to get Trubinsky. I'm guessing then that Myles Garrett can start shopping for homes in Shaker Heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I tend to only watch the first two rounds live and then just get occasional updates on the rest, but I do think Round 1 has quite a bit of intrigue this year. Generally focused around the QBs of course, since there isn't a clear "Best QB" but still there will probably be three drafted in the 1st Round. Always fun to see where the chips fall, since QBs picked in Round 1 are generally expected to make some type of impact in their first year these days.

Dolfan in NYC Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The NFL "wanted to do the draft at the Philadelphia Museum of Art" (a/k/a the Rocky Steps).

hammerva Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Man I missed the "Carson Wentz is a franchise QB" memo that people on the NFL Network are talking about. granted compared to Jarred Goff he looks like Tom Brady right now. Can watch Goddell get booed out of the building every day.

Kevin Wilson Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 What's the point of moving up one pick. If your team and that team wanted the same person, they wouldn't trade with you in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
