Names going to Division Rivals that will Tick you off the most?

Just reading some scenario's about who our rivals think will fall to them or who they could move up and pick off had me thinking.

For example, one article had the falcons moving up in front of us to draft Okudah or Simmons.  Another had Brown dropping to 16  (although I think that was prickso so it doesn't really count).  Another had OT's Wirf or Wills falling to the bucs at 14.

A lot of guys on here follow the draft a lot more closely than I do.

What names being drafted by our division rivals tonight and rest of weekend will tick you off the most?  Personally I love Simmons and his fit as a pro player.  If the falcons move ahead of us to take him I will be ticked.

Atlanta has a bad habit of building top-heavy rosters and losing because they lack depth. I'm hoping they trade up--even if they get someone we think will be a stud now, they'll just be digging themselves even deeper into a future hole. 

That said, the idea of a division rival getting Simmons to use as a box safety against McCaffrey makes me want to throw things.

Jordan Love to the Saints.  ugh seems like he could be the Patrick Mahomes of this draft.

He has upside but he has a long road of learning in the NFL before he’s anywhere near ready to start, let alone play like Mahomes... I do like him though and the Aints would give him a good shot to learn before Brees hangs them up and with an offensive genius in Payton, so I agree I do not want the Aints to get him and his upside.

I don’t care how good Simmons is, he’s not keeping up with CMC. Some very good players got jumped out of body by him

Falcons have a lot of the same needs as we do on defense. Brace yourself for them to get two or three players we would've loved to have.

I worry about the Saints landing Love or Hurts, or another fugging receiver.

Also worry about the Buc's getting a top receiver.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
