Day 3 Draft Discussion


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

OL options are pretty much gone.  The only offensive position I would even be remotely interested in drafting would be WR.  Even then we 10 on the roster now.

Screw it, finish the draft out all on defense.  DT, DE, CB, OLB or ILB in preferred order.

Trey Wingo just said day 3 picks make up 65% of NFL rosters . That’s why late round picks are important . Really every pick 

Not to correct you but it also included UDFAs which is a huge pool of players. I think UDFAs have better total #s in terms of starters and pro bowlers than 6th and 7th rounders. Again, there’s way more UDFAs than 32 guys in a round so it’s a numbers game. That said the number of “hits” from UDFAs are bigger than the late rounds.

This is partially economically driven. You've got to have those cheap late rounders on your roster to make the salary cap.

Gonna homer-up again and say the only offensive player I'd take a flyer on at this point is Auburn LT Prince Tega Wanogho.  Dude has been as damaged by this COVID-19 crisis as any player in the draft, having to have his knee scoped and then no team being able to do any follow-up on that since.  Has fallen from the edge of the 1st round as a prospect to almost the 6th round now.

What do you think of Coe?

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
