Draft Thread

I saw a clip where he rolled out behind the bench and took off down the sideline and that clipboard stayed steady enough to serve coffee on. You may be on to something here.

 

I actually hope this crop that gets drafted do get a chance to start and they do well.
I can't imagine that one that is drafted in the first or second round aren't going to teams desperate enough to throw them in the fire as rookies.
Maybe the Panthers will strike gold like the Chargers did at #6.

The mid rounds were getting repetitive, so I fucked around with the AI in the settings to get teams to reach for need more often, which is the league trend. I was getting too much great value in these situations.



I had my pick between Cross and Ickey, and I went with Cross, maybe because I intuitively know that Darnold or PJ need the best pass protection possible.


Smith is a true OG prospect who likely competes with Christiansen in camp.


Flott is probably a nickle in the NFL, which is fine since the team needs competition there.


Williams has nice hands for a RB. I don't trust CMC or Foreman to stay healthy, and I don't trust Hubbard to stop sucking dick, so Sam will need someone to catch his check downs.



Yeah, another Baylor guy. At least Woods is a good athlete, and he knows Snow's scheme, so fuck it.



Ezeudu is probably a G/T swing backup who won't take it up the ass quite as often as Trent Scott.

 

Trading for picks like last year seems like the way ahead (unless theres a QB1 for the future). Really like getting probowltalent for oline, so Linderbaum and green in same draft is awesome. In this scenario Drake London dropped and Packers where willing buyers, ending up with 3 1st rounders.

 

you can never have to many corners

 

That's amazing

 

Lowest % of uncatchable targets on throws 10+ yards downfield among FBS quarterbacks in 2021, per
@PFF
:

2. Kenny Pickett (26%)
5. Carson Strong (29%)

16. Bailey Zappe (32%)
22. Matt Corral (34%)
34. Sam Howell (36%)
50. Desmond Ridder (38%)

61. Malik Willis (40%)

 

This is such a shitty draft that I'm becoming fine with punting to 2023.

 

What's crazy is that I'm sure any of these QBs are better than Darnold. The Panthers are probably better off hoping Sam's theoretical talent unhatches than drafting any of these guys. It's a long shot both ways, but you take the devil you know and use the pick on a different position.
