Me too. I vividly remember saying how overrated Bosa is and how he was gonna bust if picked Top 10.

I'll take my L there :porter:

Trust your eyes bruh. Don't trust some box scores. Even scrubs sometimes can put up misleading numbers. Look no further than Kevin Love. When everyone else was fooled by him putting up 25 ppg and 15 rpg calling him a top 5 player in the NBA, I called him a scrub who wasn't even an all-star. nikkas thought I was crazy. However, I was ultimately proven right when he couldn't even get minutes in the NBA finals ahead of Tristan Thompson.

Just like Kevin Love was a scrub regardless of the empty stats he put up, so is Joey Bosa. He's a scrub. And just watch as that sack production dissapear over the next few years when teams figure him out.

Joey Bosa = scrub effort player

I guarantee you he never makes an All-Pro team or is ever thought of as one of the top pass rushers in the NFL. He's just another Aaron Kampman.

He'll make them pay for passing on him.

Nah. Dalvin Cook is mad overrated. Not even a top 5 RB in this class IMO. Even without the off-field issues. His on-field skills simply don't impress me. Dude is kinda stiff, doesn't have much agility or shake to his game. I also question his durability and vision. He's a decent one-cut runner with good speed. In the right system he might have a couple of good seasons. However, he will never be an elite RB in the league and he definitely won't be the best RB from this class.

Swag's Top 5 RBs in the 2017 NFL Draft

1. Alvin Kamara (Tennessee) - Marshall Faulk 2.0.....has the balance and power to run between the tackles....but also has the speed and explosiveness to hit the edge......outstanding pass catcher out of the backfield and can be split out wide and run routes like a receiver.....incredible balance as a runner with outstanding ability to break tackles for his size.....a future HALL OF FAMER
2. James Conner (Pittsburgh) - best pure RB in this draft....doesn't have Kamara's versatility....but is amazing between the tackles...he'll be in the NFL what people thought Leonard Fournette would be....a future SUPERSTAR
3. Joe Mixon (Oklahoma) - reminds me of Fred Taylor.....love his size, speed, power, and agility......might be the best all-around RB in this draft.....another SUPERSTAR
4. Christian McCaffrey (Stanford) - will never be a between the tackles 20 carries per game runner but will be a dynamic all-around weapon....poor man's Alvin Kamara because he shares Alvin's skill as a receiver out of the backfield, however, he lacks Kamara's ability as a between the tackles runner.....in the right system he can also be a SUPERSTAR
5. Leonard Fournette (LSU) - will have a good pro career....however it won't be as great as many think.....his pro career will be like Hershel Walker.....it'll be succesful but extremely underwhelming given what he did in college and what hype he came into the league with....I question his vision and ability to make something out of the nothing if the holes are not there....I believe his struggles against Alabama exposed his limitations as a runner


I think this draft ultimately produces 4 elite RBs: Alvin Kamara, James Conner, Joe Mixon, and Christian McCaffrey.

However, there should be plenty of other good starting caliber RBs in this draft as well.

Missed 0 games. Cam a day 2 corner

:wtf: da hell does draft position have to do with NFL success?

I'm telling you what will happen on Sundays not what's gonna happen on draft day. NFL GMs are confirmed morons. I wouldn't get so happy about being taken by them in the first round.

Remember at this time last year according to all the NFL GMs and scouts, Jared Goff was the best or second best QB in the draft and Dak Prescott was a nobody. And we all know what happened once the football was actually played.

Cam Sutton will be the best CB from this draft in the NFL when it's all said and done. He's a future hall of famer.

I haven't been this excited for a draft in a long time. We (Steelers) need corners and edge rushers, and this draft is chock full of them. I think we can get a year 1 starter at both positions if we play our cards right.

I'd be happy loading up on offensive skill position BPA's other than that, just making our offense even more potent. Go balls out for 2017, fukk it, who knows how much longer Ben will be around.

Sutton is nothing special, at best he will be the 2nd best corner on any team. He will get bullied in the NFL
