Welcome Ottio Ogbonnia, DT, UCLA (R4, #160)

:lol:

Seconded, sheesh.

We don’t need to rehash the same argument about Jones for every single pick. We get it, Jones makes you cream in your pants and not trading up to get him is practically a war crime, but can we talk about the guys that actually ended up on this team?

You do not think missing on Jones has anything to do with why we took Ogbonnia and why we did not get Araiza? They are related. Do you see that?

Fantastic pick! He is still learning how to play football but another extremely intelligent kid with zero character issues. 6’ 4.5” 325 pound classic NT will really help our run defense! He has 10” hands and almost 34.5” arms, will hold the line stout against the run. His best football is still ahead of him, needs to improve technique and lower his pad level. He will rotate in to give austin johnson a breather. He’s solid value at pick at #160 and fills out our D-line depth nicely!

They say anchoring is the most important trait for a NT and Oh Oh doesn’t do that well.

So…. No? We can’t talk about the guys that made it. Araiza is not that good of a punter. He kicks it as hard as he can, which sure is really far, but he doesn’t have great control and he often out kicks his coverage. People have complained for years about Long our kicking coverage and then beg for the dude that will outkick the coverage even more. 2 punters went before him (one to the Ravens who you love to praise) so obviously NFL teams didn’t think he was a generational punter. Bitch about the big boards rankings and the guys you wanted all you want in the draft day thread but give the guys we’ve taken their threads instead of turning them all into a discussion about a player not on the team.

Could have had Travis Jones--easily. We crapped the bed in not getting him. The Ogbinnia pick makes that even clearer.

Can you stop detailing a thread because you don’t understand Staley’s defensive scheme? It’s seriously annoying.

I’ll post Tweets from the other thread here.

The big board also said this was the right pick.

Inconsequential, cause you see what happened in the third round was….

Our P did not have to be Araiza, but we did need a P. We were dead last in net punting last year and Long has also been a blocked punt festival over the years because he is the slowest from catch to kick. P remains a huge need for us.

I ma discussing Ogbonnia. I do not like the pick for multiple reasons. We had a chance to get better DL player earlier in the draft and blew it. The cost of blowing it was that we ended up taking a worse DL player later, which cost us a chance to make an upgrade at the P position.

These are the consequences of poor drafting.

So if we don’t take your guy, we should take no one?

Correct. That’s why he hasn’t said a word about the missed value of Dean at 79.
