I follow DJ on twitter, I don't follow many "scouts" or "analysts" but I like him. I can't remember who's pre draft thing he released a couple weeks ago but it was spot on as well.

I can admit I wasn't on the Luke bandwagon and was pretty pissed about the pick when it happened. Mainly because we were "deep" at the position at the time. I wanted Michael Floyd but I've wanted a WR for some time now. I was also concerned about Luke's athleticism and pass coverage ability, I bought into all the hype about his tackling numbers being inflated due to all his tackles 5-10 yards downfield. But I'am sure glad we made the pick. Never expected this pick to turn out so good. Great centrepiece for our D for a long time hopefully.

Looking back at the 2012 and 2013 drafts, you could argue that we picked Top 3 and Top 5 talent in both years with the 9th and 14th picks.  Throw in 2011 which was obviously Cam with the 1st pick, and now in 2014 we got KB with the 28th pick who is looking like a Top 10 talent.

 

Point being, we have crushed the first round since 2011.

 

2012 Draft:

 

 

 

2013 Draft:

 

1  Kansas City Chiefs Eric Fisher OT 

2 Jacksonville Jaguars Luke Joeckel OT Texas A&M

3 Miami Dolphins Dion Jordan DE Oregon

4 Philadelphia Eagles Lane Johnson OT Oklahoma

5 Detroit Lions Ezekiel Ansah DE BYU

6 Cleveland Browns Barkevious Mingo DE LSU

7 Arizona Cardinals Jonathan Cooper G North Carolina

8 St. Louis Rams Tavon Austin WR West Virginia 

9 New York Jets Dee Milliner CB Alabama 

10 Tennessee Titans Chance Warmack G Alabama 

11 San Diego Chargers D. J. Fluker OT Alabama 

12 Oakland Raiders D. J. Hayden CB Houston 

13 New York Jets Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri

14 Carolina Panthers Star Lotulelei DT Utah

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
