2022 OFFICIAL NFL DRAFT DAY 1 - WHO YA GONNA PICK?

[Guest]

Interesting that Green went before Zion...

Yes, it is. I valued Johnson more and he went off the board first in our forum mock draft.

[Charge!]

Can’t wait for round 3.

can we speed this thing up?... lol

Awesome I'm good with Zion as well

Beef before gazelles!

This pick makes Herb better AND safer, and also improves both phases of the offense.

i think Jeremiah last mock has the Chargers taking a CB

True, in his latest mock, Jeremiah had us taking Elam...but in an earlier mock, it was Penning:

Penning just went at #19, so I do not think it says very much other than our team valued Johnson more.

It may well be the Bolts weren't sold on Penning's pass pro...Zion looked to be the more sure pick...

I gotta believe it’s that center capability that solidified this pick. Look to the future.

Yep it looks like Zion played every position at the senior bowl! Even Center and OT, and did well!

This is great if we move Feiler over to RT. Y’all don’t realize that Feiler is very solid at RT.

In two years of RT play his grades are 4 points higher at tackle than what he did last year at guard for us…

[Charge!]

I wonder if TT tried to see if anyone like PIT wanted to trade up a few spots, so he could still take Johnson?

I love selecting a nearly sure thing at OG if the OT's left were more developmental? Many lists I saw had Zion Johnson being the top OG in draft.

We just got to face it TT has a fixation on making Pipkins our RT! HE was drafted in the 3rd round, unless a OT vet is released in May Pip is our Guy!

Maybe TT will trade up into the end of round 1...

HC Brandon Staley said he wanted to be a line of scrimmage team. And he wasn't kidding.

Year 1
Draft OT Rd1. Adds very good starting OC and LG veteran free agents.

Year 2
Draft OG Rd1. Adds 2 very good starting DL veteran free agents and trade for Khalil Mack.

7 Players added to line of scrimmage and not on the cheap. Top picks and good money to get it done.

:beer:

What about Feiler at RG? I like the idea of a rookie between Slater and Linsley and Feiler helping Pipkins. If Pipkins doesn't show improvement, you have to kick Feiler to RT.
