2017 Official Draft Thread - Round 1

Good to see other teams pass on Hooker. I sort of feel like we dodged a bullet there.

I agree with this.

Anyone have a backup plan for burning at grilled cheese with a 4 year old and 2 year old screaming. No mac and cheese either

Cards could take Howard.

Reddick to the Cards. Solid pick.

Bama guys aren't getting love.

Bama guys aren't getting love.

Told you. Totally skeptical of them.

I agree with this. With him and Hooker on the board still it shows that teams do their homework and joe blow fan doesn't know shit. This all leads to the Chargers getting a good player at 38. Whether it be a S or DL or OL

Who knows maybe TT will draft Davie at 38????????

Personally, I would've felt TE OJ Howard would be more effective overall for the offense than Mike Williams. Look back at the Patriot*s when they had their vaunted 2 TE offense and a receiving RB. They had nothing at WR, and they were unstoppable. TE's are cheaper overall than WRs, so it even makes sense from cap perspective going forward.

2 TEs that can help in blocking for the running game, in a no-huddle that Rivers likes, you have plenty of options run/pass and don't have to switch personnel. Though the TEs would need to improve their blocking, but if they're willing, thats the key.

They had two TE's last year and couldn't get them both on the field.

Couldn't, or didn't want to utilize it in the passing game? I'm not saying it was the ideal, pick but I would've preferred OJ Howard over Mike Williams. OJ Howard is a matchup nightmare alone. Imagine him and Hunter Henry together? Mike Williams is he a matchup nightmare? I dunno

At the 7th overall pick, the reason you pick a slow WR who drops balls, that seems like a reach. Kind of like when you choose a slow 4.55 Corner who isn't the brightest guy at #5.

McLoser couldn't figure how to use them both at the same time.
