NFL: 2018 NFL Draft

[Gonzo]

Four players will still be waiting in the green room when the draft resumes tonight - Josh Jackson, Connor Williams, Derrius Guice, and Shaquem Griffin. Who's going off the board first? I think Jackson and Guice will both be gone witin the first five picks, Williams at some point in the second round, and Griffin in the third.

Guice is a steal at this point.

Hoping the Bears can get Connor Williams

Guice is a steal at this point.

Very much so. He should have been at the very least the third RB off the board. Really all four of those guys are pretty good value picks by now.

Another one to keep an eye on is the LT from Oklahoma, Orlando Brown Jr. His stock plummeted after a historically poor Combine performance but the tape doesn't lie. His name should be called tonight.

When did Mort become a really old man?

When he went through several rounds of very heavy chemo. Had Stage 4 throat cancer.

Think he may even still be doing some form of treatment because believe they found something in his lungs now.

 

[Knownothing]

Comes down to these two things on his grade sheet:

• Never had completion rate higher than 56 percent in either season as a starter
• Field-reading is spotty

You're playing in that conference, you think he'd have higher numbers.

I may be wrong, but the bust percentages on qbs are in my favor.

True but how good were his receivers?

SIAP, but I didn't read the thread. I love that ESPN was setting up the broadcast for Sam Darnold and then Baker Mayfield stole the show as a first-pick and ruined it as a no-show!

Surprised they didn't say more about him "wishing he had attended." Seems like they pretty much gave him a pass for not being there. But it was a huge buzz kill for him not to be there. I loved it.

Guice will fall due to lying about the draft interviews

I'd love for the Giants to take Brown. Our OL is a sieve.

So Courtyard is the official hotel of the NFL, meanwhile no NFL teams actually stay at Courtyard when traveling for road games.

Not a good draft if you are an Iowa fan...

I'm an Iowa fan and I'm loving it. Giants are killing it.

Daniels to the Bears

Bears take a TOE guard

 

[JP4CY]

Boy, Steve Atwater looks great.

Daniels to the Bears

As a Bears fan:

Guice will fall due to lying about the draft interviews

Did he admit to lying? It's not like the NFL teams that supposedly asked him those questions put it in an email. There wouldn't be any proof either way and of course the teams will deny asking the questions. I'm not saying he was telling the truth or lying just that the NFL not finding evidence doesn't really mean much.

Jackson to the Packers

Jackson to the Packers

It’s a good pick for a needed area.

 

[Gonzo]

Jackson a major steal there. Can't believe Guice is still on the board.

 

[discydisc]

As a Bears fan:

Meh, arguably a first round talent in the second round at a position of need (assuming they can move him to guard) I'm pretty happy with the pick.
