NFL: 2018 NFL Draft

[michaelrr1]

Plenty of guys with more speed. Lazard is the better player, and it's really not close.

Link?

We in better to become a free agent territory yet?

I thought I heard Mr Irrelevant still gets paid like 70k, so if that's the case then its always better to be drafted.

That's just what people say when they want to feel better about not getting drafted. If they're honest, everyone would rather be drafted over not getting drafted at all.

WR that the Pack just picked is basically the same kind of WR that Lazard is, except he runs a 4.38 instead of a 4.55.

 

[Knownothing]

Actually live the WR Green Bay just took

 

[Al_4_State]

Lazard isn't getting drafted and it's solely because he came here.

**** the NFL

Are we getting to the Joel Lanning is more likely to be drafted than Allen Lazard phase?

 

[OnlyCyclones]

Then you haven't been paying attention. Fountain is good, and it is not much of a surprise to see him go before Lazard. Fountain put up insane numbers at UNI's pro day. He's quicker and can do more things after the catch than Lazard. Lazard is very good, but somewhat of limited WR just for jump balls in the redzone more than an every down guy IMO.

He'll get taken soon, and at this point it doesn't matter so much when you get picked, but where you go.

I'm not omniscient, and I don't care about UNI, so you're right. Just pointing out that no. 10 was a non-factor against Brian Peavy, just like Miller, just like every receiver Peavy faced last year, excepting James Washington. Lazard is the perfect safety blanket, and blocks well for his teammates to run after catch. Seems his skillset is more unique, and maybe undervalued.

Neither.

Not sure what an ISU player has to do get drafted, but this is a huge recruiting blow.

Lazard's a 2nd round pick if he had gone to ND

What is it now, 3 punters taken above Lazard? Here’s CBS Sports analysis of 174 Johnny Townsend (P-Florida): “Please end this run on punters” Grade: D+

 

[CyCloned]

Lazard is sorta that square peg in the round hole. Big and physical, but not super fast, and he did have some issues with drops when at ISU. Still think someone is missing out on a guy that can go get the ball in short yardage situations, which is pretty valuable most games.

St. Brown wasn’t.

 

[jflattery]

And Ray-Ray McCloud is off the board

 

[OnlyCyclones]

Having one of the best kicker/punters in the league is probably more valuable than a team’s 6th WR, who may or may not even make the team.

Not saying that is all Lazard will be, because he was a great college player, but you need to chill the hell out. These guys know a helluva lot more about football than you. Good/great college players go late or undrafted every year, this isn’t a rare/unique circumstance.

You say that, but then Johnny Manziel, Brady Quinn, Jamarcus Russell and Josh Allen were all first round picks...

It's funny because it's true.

St. Brown had better pre-draft measurables, more hype, and he still has yet to be picked...also AL would not have accumulated anywhere close to the stats at ND that he did at ISU

 

[Mtowncyclone13]

Lazard is the Niang of football.

 

[benjimill]

It's funny because it's true.

It’s even funnier because both of you think it’s true, when it’s not even remotely close to being true.

 

[cyclones500]

I'm amending my earlier guess of Balt/Buff --- next 3 possibilities are probably Falcons, Saints or Jags.
