NFL: 2019 Draft

No I get it. They are a bunch of lemmings. That is why Lazard and Butler should have called themselves TE's. This is why the few smart guys/teams dominate for so long.

Someone is going to get an absolute steal in Butler
Are teams going to start like 3 slot receiver or something? Some of these WR getting drafted are tiny. Some of them weren't very productive either. Basically drafted because they were fast, even though most good slot receivers aren't typically speed guys, they are usually quick in tight spaces and good route runners.
Nice of these teams to pass on Butler so Chicago can take him in the 4th round
At this rate the Vikes will end up with the last 20 picks of the very last round.

Pretty disappointed with that last pick by the Vikings. They should have waited another round and taken Alex Barnes. I'm surprised they didn't take Hooker from Iowa. They lost Sendejo and Iloka at safety and although Harris was decent last year, they still need depth at that position.
Irv Smith wasn't a horrible pick and Bradbury was a great pick.
The best options for Butler now would probably be the Vikings, Giants, Jets, Chargers, Bucs or Dolphins.

After following the past 2 NFL drafts more closely than I ever have, this describes my experience:
Did Butler pick up leprosy somewhere along the line during the combines? Jesus, I just don't get it.
Since I work early, I’m usually in bed by 8, but I stayed up for that last Vikings pick. As the traded down and down.
Which blew chunks. Especially considering some of the guys they missed trading down 21 spots in the round.
And who the heck needs eight sixth and seventh round picks?!!! Please tell me I miscounted.
(I’m sure two or three of those will wind up Pro Bowlers, right Rick?)

I got my wish, can't wait to see David in Matt Nagy's offense.,so happy for D M and his family, this is Awesome
Wasn't surprised that Trader Rick kept trading to get into the fifth round. He also needs a bunch of cheap late round guys because his problems with the cap.
I like all of his picks thus far and would love to see him take Hakeem in the fourth, if he's there.

This. It's about the cap. If Minnesota can get a bunch of late rounders that they feel can contribute, they'll be able to cut some of their bigger contracts. It sucks to lose vets, but being in cap hell sucks too.
Thanks. The problem is, you have to find those “guys who can contribute” that late.
And alas, I was unimpressed with Mattison. Hope he proves me wrong.
Will be curious to see how bad the Vikes want to unload Rudolph's big contract being he's in his last year. NE has three 4th round picks. Doesn't seem like good value for the Vikes, but it will be interesting to see who's on the clock with #16 in the 4th.

I don't know. A fourth round pick for a TE in the last year of his deal, who is getting a little long in the tooth might be the best you can do.
