Draft Day 2017

[DaveThePanther2008]

I can't remember a draft where we (the huddle) were so spread out in our opinions.

Week after week front running draft pick names have changed.

When this mess started Guys like Soloman Thomas and Myles Garrett were long gone to us and Fournette was moments away from signing a contract with us.

Recently I saw a mock where we selected Thomas and other where Garrett fell all the way to the Tampa Bay Bucs and the majority of Mock drafts has Jacksonville taking Fournette.  This has been done a couple times recently but

My sequence of players I would like to see us draft is.   We will have our pick of two of these players. Draft day we'll find out which two.

Garrett

Thomas

Adams

Fournette

Howard

McCaffrey

Allen

Hooker

Lattimore

Given his college production, I'm surprised to see Allen behind Howard.  Not sure where I would put Barnett either, but I bet he's on DG's list.

[Lasus83.]

I ruled out Barnett, until we met with him. But he is a high character guy, a leader and a high motor producer. He faced the same talent as Garrett and came away with a better overall resume on, arguably, a weaker team (nobody is calling A&M a powerhouse, though)

Furthermore, I hear "love of the game" questions about Garrett

If say:
Adams
Fournette
Thomas
Barnett
Garrett
Howard
Lattimore
Hooker
Allen
McCaffrey

We have met with the top 4, hence Garretts slide... and DGs comments about wanting someone who hates to lose.

Lattimore due to the word that we want to play more man.

Hooker and Allen low since we didn't meet with them.

McCaffrey low because... well, that's a long debate... but let's just call it scheme fit.

The Mocks are getting screwy. Majority saying we're taking Mike Williams all of a ssudden. Haha

[Ivan The Awesome]

I personally think Thomas is a better prospect than Garrett. He's a lot more valuable since he can play inside and outside if needed. But that's just me. I see Garrett as a one trick pony, I don't see the Julius peppers comparisons though. Other than size, he didn't show up against huge programs and really feasted on weaker schools. Barnett was better statistically. I'm guessing his hype is more of a fascination over his freaking athleticism than his production.

So 6.9% of people think we are taking Mitch Trubisky?

Tennessee was loaded on paper but suffered a catastrophic spate of injuries which included 5 star defensive linemen Tuttle and McKenzie, as well as soon to be 2017 draft picks LB Reeves Maybin and CB Sutton among others.

And Fournette no where to be found.   This must be the same folks that voted for Hillary.  Out of touch with reality.

They're just throwing stuff out there at this point haha. Hard to see us going Qb in the first or second but 3rd or later? Why not? I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on QB and Tackle every draft. Good ones are hard to find.

[SOJA]

Here's two scenarios I could see playing out one with trades and one without: 

 

[Shocker]

LOL at those saying we pick Trubisky.  WTF.
