2017 Official Draft Thread - Round 1

[Bolt-O]

Bengals won, so the Chargers did get bumped up in the draft order.

[Bolt-O]

Yeah, weak OL draft, but pretty deep for DBs, particularly Safeties, and its possible to get an elite pass rusher as well.

The Bama OT could be a Fluker like pick.

Id be targeting D in the top 10. Because there is really only a couple offensive players worth top 10 picks imo. I am not a fan of the QBs. I do like Mason Rudolph as a project in the 3rd though.

Agreed.
The D is not far off from being really good. Add another guy who can put pressure on the offense or a quality play maker in the secondary, this group could win games going forward.

I wouldnt use a higher pick on a QB til 2018. Rivers has three years left on his deal and we can find backups anytime.

I dont view him as a backup. I view him as a guy who can replace Rivers. And you get him a couple years learning from Rivers. I wouldnt suggest using a 3rd for a backup. I suggested a 3rd for Prescott last year. You dot always have to mortgage the future for a top 3 pick in order to find a stud QB. We should have drafted more QBs over the years.

[Boltjolt]

Yeah but he won't play for three seasons. Rivers doesn't get hurt, that's why I wouldn't pick a QB til 2018. Then you get two years under Rivers with two ,three years left on their contract.

[richpjr]

BPA.

I dont think you can go into a draft just saying you wont draft a QB because you still have Rivers. Now is the time to start thinking about our future after Rivers. And i dont want to mortgage the future in 2018 by using 3 Number 1's to acquire the top pick. Especially if i can groom a talented player over a couple years and only use a 3rd or 4th. BPA may be a QB in the 3rd or 4th. Im not sure Rivers even finishes his contract.

[Mister Hoarse]

I'm not sure if Rivers finishes the season.

[CTrout]

We currently have the 8th pick.

[OhioBolt]

We currently have the 8th pick.

If by some chance Adams is there that's the pick other wise BPA and I am scared of picking Cam Robinson OT Alabama sounds like Fluker coming out of college. Based on yesterday performance OL pick screams out loud with 1st pick.
