The Official 2017 NFL Draft Thread

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

Why are u even looking at this? Pass rush doesnt matter right?

I said one dimensional pass rusher matters less than an impact DT and dynamic FS

Keep trying.

McDowell > Garrett. And when this comes to fruition, you will bow down like everyone else.

Good thing Garrett and Williams aren't one dimensional then.

Trying? Pretty sure I already won this argument.

McDowell is better based on what?

Teams Split on Cam Robinson Slide

It has been well established that the 2017 NFL Draft class is weak at the offensive tackle position. One of the top tackle prospects is Alabama's Cam Robinson, and some prominent analysts have had Robinson sliding late into the first round. WalterFootball.com reached out to team sources to see if they think a slide is possible for Robinson. Three teams said yes, and three teams said no.

The teams that said yes feel that Robinson's inconsistencies from his junior season could cause him to slide. Some team sources believe that the interviews, medical evaluation, and off-the-field concerns could push Robinson down. He did have a gun arrest roughly a year ago, but the chargers were eventually dropped. One general manager of a playoff team said they liked Wisconsin's Ryan Ramczyk and Utah's Garett Bolles more than Robinson.

However, three other teams thought Robinson would go high. One team picking in the early teens didn't believe Robinson would get to their pick. A personnel director of a playoff team had this to say: "For selfish reasons, I would love it if he did slide and was an option for us, but I just don't think it will happen."

The director of college scouting for an AFC team picking in the top 20 said they had Robinson as a top-15 pick and believe that he is a Russell Okung- or Ryan Clady-type left tackle for the next level. When asked about Robinson sliding this was the director's response: "He is top 15 easily. Who else will go before? Bolles? Ramczyk? Not even close."

With teams split on where they project Robinson, his combine interviews, workout, pre-draft visits, and medical evaluation will be very important to his draft stock.

@malbaker86 who would u compare jarrad davis 2

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

I wouldn't take Robinson, he's a good run blocker tho.


The best tackle in the draft will prolly end up being someone picked in the
later rounds

He's not bad. He can run. Makes most of his plays in the backfield

Shouldn't be too worried about LB breh. We should get a good one regardless. Class is pretty deep. I'm more worried about us finding another 2 quality guards and a center We need to build our OL like Dallas built there's.

We don't know how to draft guards tho I hope we atleast get one out the free agency

That's probably what we're going to do. Maybe Gase knows how to actually draft a guard tho. When he seen Billy Turner and Dallas Thomas wasn't cutting it he cut them wit the quickness

I think Garrett Bolles, Julien Davenport, amd Taylor Moton will be the best OTs in this draft

@Sauce Dab @King P how yall feel bout hassan reddikk?

I like him. Very athletic, disruptive, and can be used in many different ways. Although he'll fit best as a 4-3 OLB, I can see him being used as a Will ILB and also can be used as a situational pass rusher.

I think he goes early in the 2nd, and as a pro I'd compare him to Kyle Van Noy

@malbaker86 who would u compare jarrad davis 2

Ill be honest and not throw some shyt against the wall and hope it sticks, but im not sure who he is comparable too cause i aint put much thought to it. I think he has a chance to be solid, but it wouldn't me if he is just average as Andra Davis in the NFL. I think him and Anzalone (provided this injuried bum can stay healthy), can be productive players on the next level
