Until you show me the Panthers board that has these guys as 6th round prospects I have no reason to trust CBS over the Panthers.  I'm not saying you sound stupid, but saying the value isn't there doesn't sound smart.  Do you honestly believe that the Panthers picked these guys even though they had them as 6th round talent level guys?

 

Really?

no one here is judging the players themselves. just the position they were drafted. They were pretty significant reaches.  Thats the argument here not whether they can play.  Hell even Gettlemen said he jumped off the BPA and reached for need.

Based on Gettleman's draft board, they were not reaches.  Sorry wing, but he has forgotten more about evaluating talent than you, mayock, and mcshay have ever known combined.

I LOVE the draft

I HATE the Huddle during the draft

 

Surprise picks? Sure. But a lot of dudes we'd been linked to went early in the 2nd. I'm not going to pretend to know jack poo about the CBs we drafted, but I'll trust the staff to coach them up. I didn't know poo about Bene a couple years ago...worked out alright. As for the whole draft position thing...don't people constantly blast Kiper and Co. for their "expert" opinions never being right? GMan hadn't 2nd round grades on these CBs, then he had 2nd round grades on them. I'll trust the dude who's studied them as opposed to getting irrationally angry about a couple players I've never watched play being drafted "too early" because an arbitrary number was assigned to them by someone on the Interwebz.

I'm not gonna judge the players. I can't, don't know enough about them or scouting in general. All I will say is I was SUPER excited for the draft yesterday at 8pm. Butler was a rotation player picked in the 1st round. "Eh I guess" I said. "Still some solid players left for Rounds 2 and 3."  So I was then excited about the draft at 7pm tonight. And now...I'm no longer excited. I won't even be watching tomorrow.

The draft is a crap shoot. You can do all the research you want and still get a bust. Teams get busts all the time of specific players who are said to be the best. Yet year in and year out, "Oh draft that player he is really good" or "Omg why didn't you draft ______ instead". Only for the people who say such things to be proven wrong time and time again. It is called a projected round for a reason. It is where the talking heads think that player should go. Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round but if you were to redo that draft, chances are he would go number one overall.

How many teams have we seen be given a c or d rating based on who they drafted only for years to pass by and be given a higher grade because those players paid off? Lots.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.

      I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.

      Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
