Maybe, but I hope not. Lattimore had buckets of talent as well.

First surprise of the draft for me was Joey Bosa to the Chargers, didn't see it coming at all.

Second surprise pick was Apple to the Giants, Giants draft board probably took a hit with Conklin and Floyd going in quick succession so Apple was their BPA.

Third surprise pick - Joshua Garnett. You build from the trenches and I expected to see a number of OL in the 1st round but Garnett wasn't one of them.

Laremy Tunsil's draft day slide, the character stuff was always there in the background but that video might just have swayed some teams at the last min. I can believe the Chargers and Ravens had Ronnie Stanley higher on their boards but I think Tunsil would have been the pick for the Titans at #8 without the events of last night. Jon Robinson said they always wanted Conklin, don't know if I believe that.

Only one player from Alabama drafted in the 1st round.

I got 11/31 for my mock draft this year, my best score for a mock draft prior to last night was 9/32 in 2011 so I'm happy with that. Smile

Everyone on earth would like their team to take a shot at jack.

The reality is every NFL team that made a pick last night after the first few was unanimous that his knee is going to severely hinder him.

Jack will go to Dallas.

It would be such a Jerry pick.

by mikeygnfl Sat Apr 30, 2016 12:10 am

I think the Cowboys may be after Jack.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Apr 30, 2016 12:23 am

Dallas take jaylon Smith at 34!!!!

by CJB Sat Apr 30, 2016 12:26 am

Cowboys shoulda been all in on next three years and taken Jack

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Apr 30, 2016 12:34 am

Jacksonville have won this draft

by CJB Sat Apr 30, 2016 12:35 am

Jags defence has so many strong players

Fowler Johnson Marks Jack Smith Posluzsney Ramsey Prince Gibson

In the nicest way, if I were a GM, anyone who ain't healthy goes off the board. Public don't see the medical records.

by Number-25 Sat Apr 30, 2016 12:52 am

I'm with you GSC... if they ain't healthy why take a chance? Particularly with an early round pick? And especially in a draft like this where it's seemingly pretty deep at the positions the the injured guys are playing?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Apr 30, 2016 12:53 am

Love the Shepard pick

by GSC Sat Apr 30, 2016 1:00 am

I don't think Jaylon Smith will ever play in the NFL. Waiting for a nerve to start firing sounds horrendous. To invest a high 2nd in him is ballsy (I have a few different words)

All these teams passed on Jack once for a reason. Potential microfracture surgery before he finishes his rookie deal is scary as hell.

by twelve283 Sat Apr 30, 2016 1:32 am

Tennessee Titans acquiring RBs and hoping one of them sticks.

Had Spriggs to the Packers in my mock.

Jets - LOL

by GSC Sat Apr 30, 2016 2:20 am

Tampa - LOL

by GSC Sat Apr 30, 2016 2:21 am

They traded a 3rd and a 4th to get back into the 2nd for a kicker

I'm crying

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Apr 30, 2016 2:23 am

That might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Apr 30, 2016 2:23 am

That's how bad teams stay bad

by GSC Sat Apr 30, 2016 2:25 am

Belichick takes Cyrus Jones in the most predictable pick after the first 2

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Apr 30, 2016 2:36 am

Pats and the 3 cone drill CB's - everytime

Also the trade back classic belichick too

by twelve283 Sat Apr 30, 2016 2:37 am

Roberto Aguayo - the most accurate kicker in NCAA history.

A 5'9 DB from Alabama for us - sounds about right. Laugh

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Apr 30, 2016 2:40 am

Aguayo also 14 of 22 from 40+ in his college career

This is the kicker (giggle)

For a high pick, he best be automatic up to 50 yards.

Otherwise kickers are interchangeable.

Came from PFF. Perfect with 40 yards

Yep - never missed inside 40 as GSC says

Ludicrous pick, it's a F ----------

For his 3 years at FSU he was 23/32 from 40+

He was at 50% for his last year but prior to that he was 18/22.

Somewhere out there niner is crying, telling himself that Baalke selecting injured players will work.......

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Apr 30, 2016 3:04 am

100% Belichick takes Reynolds from Navy with one of these third rounders

He may just draft the entire Navy offence actually

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Apr 30, 2016 9:16 am

Tampa bay didn't really trade up into the 2nd round to take a kicker did they? That was just for bantz right...

by mikeygnfl Sat Apr 30, 2016 12:23 pm

Scenes when Aguayo misses a PAT.

by Lowlandbrit Sat Apr 30, 2016 12:39 pm

I just wonder who they thought they needed to get in front of.
Surprised Billings is still there, I think there's talk he might have a knee injury, but with how far he's fallen you have to wonder if it has something to do with all the allegations surrounding Baylor.

by Lowlandbrit Sat Apr 30, 2016 5:20 pm

Really don't understand the Raiders trading up for Cook.

by mikeygnfl Sat Apr 30, 2016 8:15 pm

Lowlandbrit wrote:Really don't understand the Raiders trading up for Cook.

Nor do I. Will be a good back up but surely Cook would have wanted to go somewhere where he had a shot at starting. He was being touted as a possible 1st round pick.

I think Miller Mitchell could do well at the Patriots.

I like Joe Haeg to the Colts, along with Ryan Kelly, to protect Andrew Luck. Expect a big season from Luck this year.

by GSC Sat Apr 30, 2016 8:34 pm

The Browns have picked 5 WRs for some reason

by Number-25 Mon May 02, 2016 3:26 am

So,catching up here with some of the chat as have really only been paying attention to what the Redskins have been up to....

1..... Billings... he was an obvious pick for the Redskins to make in Round 4 since we need a NT and yet we traded away the opportunity to draft a guy the "experts " reckoned would go in Round 1. Someone mentions above the "Baylor effect".... what's that? There's clearly an issue with Billings that led to him being passed on so many times....so what is it?

2. Did Tampa really give up a 3rd and 4th round pick to get a Kicker???

Look up Shawn Oakman, for one. As for Billings, seems like there might just have been too many good DTs, and teams weren't sure how much use he'd be on passing downs.

by **Pr4wn** Tue May 03, 2016 11:13 am

Outside of the kicker, I'm delighted with our draft.

Looking forward to seeing Beckham and Apple go at it during training camp.
