From NFL.com: (apologies if already posted; not sifting through 41 pages) I agree with this summery. I don't hate the T-Mac pick, but it was a reach at #8. There were two TEs that would have met value, need and physical attributes the team was looking for in a BY "jump ball"/red zone guy. Walker even made more sense from an EDGE perspective. His final Big Boards status was about as scattershot for top tier guys, regardless of position, as I found on the Web. Anywhere from just outside the top 10 all the way to the very bottom of round 1. Todd McShay had him a mid-second rounder. A very polarizing player among the scouts/draft gurus to say the least.

If you do buy the Huddle BigCat, shitcan the Tinderbox. It really has no place on a sports forum. I understand it's original intent--which was to take heated discussions out of the main forum, but it's morphed into cess pool. There's plenty of political/conspiracy theory sites around the net for those dozen or so folks to visit.

I think his stock took a ding surrounded by his rumored 40 time.

I still think we should have drafted a corner. Still pretty thin there. Unless an UDFA makes the roster, we might have to sign a veteran off the street.

This has to be Thielen's last season. Somebody has to fill that void. The pups have one season to get up to speed.

I would have loved to pick up ILB Shaun Dolac. A bit undersized, but is a ball hound. I mean, we drafted a 5'8" WR.

I like we got a TE that's a true in-line guy. I like his potential, but that's all it is as this point...potential.

Never created the first account. I saw the writing on the wall at it's inception and made the decision to avoid it altogether. How many lives have been ruined because of social media? Too many.

^This. I'm sure they were looking too. We just had so many holes to fill that picking a dude to leverage Icky in contract negotiations seemed very petty. Noticed the news broke as soon as the draft was over. Coincidence?

I agree with the NFL.com assessment. A grade of B- sounds about right.

One of the few picks that made sense. I don't mind this pick at all.

Yeah, teams contort logic to make a need magically become the best player available. We are the perfect example. Find me a hand full of Big Boards where T-Mac was the 8th best prospect. News flash, he wasn't. Walker was rated higher.

BPA is a joke.

We need a safety, corner, WR and RB with four of the five picks. The luxury pick will be either a TE, DL, OL or ILB.

Got to be defense whomever the pick is.

No way he was falling to #57. Doubtful the #2 ILB does either--Schwesinger.

Nice pick by the Eagles.

Brian Burns clone.

It's the Texans the Giants swapped with, not the Rams.

If they take Sanders, that whole front office is fired after the season.

Once Jeanty went to the Raiders at #6, that probably blew up most interest to moving to #8.

No, it's crazy.

If no QB here, it could be a one QB first round. I told folks this was a weak arse draft for QBs back in the fall.
