2017 Official Draft Thread - Round 1

I think penny comes back

[Stinky Wizzleteats+]

Anybody ever considered a road trip to the combine?

I'm a lot closer now then before, hmmm. It's about eight hours I think.

I think penny comes back

I think so too. He has a chance to be the #1 back next season and that should help his stock.

I love Mike Williams. My favorite WR in the country. Its been fun watching him overcome that collision with the goalpost. Hes going to be a monster in the pros.

[WindsorUK]

I believe we go DB or an edge rusher with the top pick.
Not sure there are any slam dunk, day 1 starters, at OT.
Build your O line with 2nd and 3rd rounders.
Then the middle rounds you draft WR, RB, LB.

[Classic]

Myles Garrett and Jonathan Allen are the truth. Get us one of them.

[WindsorUK]

Any chance Garrett drops past 1 or 2?

[X-man]

Possibly...but unless we're in top 4...we don't got a chance unless telesco trades up.

IT's always hard to predict the top of the draft, but Garrett isn't going to drop very far, if at all. Great measurables and great production at an impact position make it hard to pass on the guy. It would be better for him if he uses his hands better and had better moves, but he does enough of that to go #1. He will get better (like all rookies do) when he hits the NFL. And being 1st pick is usually much more about potential and Garrett is

If there are other guys at QB, man to man CB, LT (not this year but generally) or other pass rushers, then there is a chance a guy like that could drop some. But no one is going to trade up for a RB or OG. Those are positions that have a fair number of high draft pick busts and a history of getting top players outside of the 1st round.

Allen could be there, but his lack of better speed and lack of suddenness could keep him out of the top 10. A thin top of the draft (or too many non-impact players) and he goes top 5. The only issue I think there might be is do scouts consider him a tweener? He can be a bit slow of the ball for a 3 technique ST, and he lacks size (currently) as a 43 DT or 34 NT.

[Mister Hoarse]

Williams uses his hands well, and is a beast.
Like.

[Stinky Wizzleteats+]

I'm up for building the front seven with the first pick!
