2017 Draft - Round 1 Game Thread

[Sportsbstn]

This draft has gone according to ... well nothing

 

[RedOctober3829]

Wow

I like the pick but I'm lost why Allen is in free fall

Shoulder issue.

 

[OnWisc]

Philly seems like a better venue than Chicago was last year

Chicago would've been great this year with the trade they made. They'd still be trying to fish the stage set out of the lake so they could announce the 49ers pick.

 

[E5 Yaz]

David Caldwell is the GM.

He's not very good at his job.

thx

 

[tims4wins]

My son (11 years old, Jags fan) is still absolutely ripshit over this pick, for precisely this reason.

Khan erred in retaining Caldwell, but lighting a fire under him by hiring Coughlin -- either give the guy a vote of confidence or replace him. This pick positively screams "win now" -- which might not be so bad if I thought it would work, but it won't.

On the plus side, I do think Fournette is better than Richardson (and also Yeldon and Ivory), so this could be less than a disaster, even if I'm right that it's a mistake.

You are right he will likely be better but way too much capital invested in RB there. They saw Zeke last year and wanted to copy it

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Those guys could beat the Jets

 

[staz]

Is he related to Larry?

 

[Cellar-Door]

But zero offensive players to speak of.

I like Coleman and both their RBs. But it's a rebuild, and I like the way they're doing it. I don't think any QB they passed on seem like a can't miss franchise guy, and reaching for a QB to stick in an offense that can't protect the QB or get more than 1 WR open isn't a recipe for good development.

 

[Sportsbstn]

The world would go berserk if the Patriots trade up for Allen

 

[E5 Yaz]

Those guys could beat the Jets

The Browns second round picks in 2021

4 more O-Lineman and an efficient QB and consider it copied

 

[DanoooME]

Colts couldn't wait to get the pick in to get Allen?

Unless they just have to have another WR

 

[tims4wins]

Exactly

It's fun watching other teams learn the wrong lessons time after time.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

This is going to go till midnight, isn't it?

BB and Caserio must just laugh and laugh

How do D studs always fall to Baltimore

 

[Doug Beerabelli]

Hooker to Colts. Allen in free fall.

 

[DanoooME]

Oh yeah

 

[tims4wins]

So Allen isn't getting drafted tonight is he. Sergio Kindle 2.0

 

[Sportsbstn]

At least we aren't waiting till midnight and then seeing the Patriots trade out of the 1st round

#Browns now have plenty of ammo to trade for #Patriots QB Garoppolo. Have the 25th this year, 2 first-rounders next year and three 2's in 18

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Gruden only seems to criticize the Ohio State Secondary

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

He'll go in the first round. At one point the reward exceeds the next BPA.

Edit:: Upside reward

Is he grunting and phrasing things so that his every utterance sounds like it might be a preface to some kind of gay porn?

 

[tims4wins]

First time in common draft era no OL in top 15

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Holy hell Roger be more awkward.

Welp, looks like I'll be up for another hour +

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

This is cool

 

[DanoooME]

Love the fist pump by the kid before the pick announcement

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

This is cool

Undeniably. A Make-A-Wish well chosen by that kid.

 

[kelpapa]

This is cool

The fist pump looked a little forced but it was still great.

 

[Red Averages]

Love the fist pump by the kid before the pick announcement

Only thing better would have been an emphatic "WE GOT 'EM!"

 

[tims4wins]

My make a wish would have been to punch Goodell in the dick

 

[DanoooME]

Dan Snyder taking Kizer here? That would be just the right asshole move he'd pull.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

This made me laugh way more than it should have

Don't waste your time, shefter was correct, he isn't on the market. Well, unless you were planning to stay up

 

[Greg29fan]

Seems like a textbook Cowboys pick

If the kid would have been quick about it, he could have gotten two for the price of one.

Isn't the problem with this theory that they also had number 12 but that didn't get it done.

Number 12 was worth 25 and Texan's next year pick. If the Patriots wanted those things, or Cleveland wanted to give them, they could have just given 12.

 

[bsj]

Just got in and turned the TV on. Mort looks like shit.

 

[Sportsbstn]

Allen here?

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

Roger before the broadcast: "This kid...he's not from the New England area, is he?"

 

[Doug Beerabelli]

Allen to Washington.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Who do Titans pick? Howard, White, Foster?

 

[Sportsbstn]

Allen to the Redskins makes sense. Dropped right in their lap

 

[OnWisc]

Roger before the broadcast: "This kid...he's not from the New England area, is he?"

Ted Wells did a quick interview with the Make-A-Wish folks and concluded it was more probable than not that the kid was not from New England. Only cost $750K. Which Rog will bill to the charity.

 

[DanoooME]

Who do Titans pick? Howard, White, Foster?

Foster is my call.

If Foster slips any more, I might want the Seahawks to trade up for him.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Who do Titans pick? Howard, White, Foster?

They picked relatively fast.

 

[Red Averages]

Who do Titans pick? Howard, White, Foster?

Given the Hightower interest, I'd say Forster
