Nothing wrong with having a back up for your young Qb. He's no threat to Carr.
-
You should apologize to TJ, you were dogging him last night

Hopefully Tarik left some Super Bowl magic behind with that #.
I also agree the kid looks like one of those tree trunk built guys who would demolish you once he gets the leverage on you.
We've needed that for a while.

I find it amusing that you think a couple of players who no one has seen play a down in the NFL heck Whitehair I'd bet most haven't seen in a 3 pt stance are without question going to fix the OL.
That's honestly almost every fan at this time of year. Watch a couple shows, buy a draft mag or two and you're an instant expert.
I especially love the 'he won't be there at 20' and then said player goes 120th.

He's far from safe to make the team. He doesn't bring much to the table honestly.
I had high hopes when he was drafted as they kept talking up how he was a tough guy who was related to Troy Polamalu?(spelling).
-
He'll absolutely be used as a Safety, no way a guy almost 6'3" should be used as a CB full time.

Well.... a 7 isn't going to help us move too much.
So, I hope we don't trade the 4 or our 5, because I think we have so many needs.
I'd like to see us use our 4 and 4 and 5 on defense. Just so many needs to fill....
I'm not as down on the draft as some here think I am.... I'm more surprised by what we did.... and a little disappointed by the trade.
I think the kids we took are good kids.... I just don't expect much from them in 2016. They may be stars someday... I'm just not expecting the day to come in 2016.
I thought Grigson was focusing on getting talent for this year. We got two players tonight to build with. I'm just caught off guard...... that's all....
In all fairness, they haven't even played a snap yet. What you're feeling always happens to folks right after the draft.

Lets all agree to disagree, because it looks like Luck may be upright for the foreseeable future. Can't fix the entire team in 2 days but helping the offense helps the defense.
Exactly, we were 3 and out machines the last few years and a 3rd and 1 was the equivalent of a 3rd and 10.

I appreciate that the chart is not perfect. That not every team subscribes to it. That point differences don't always match up....
I get all of that.
But the point difference here is pretty lopsided. We didn't get much back.
If we had gotten a 4 and a 5, we still would've come up short. And all we got was a 4 and a 7.
I think it's pretty shocking.....
Don't forget those picks can also be used as ammo to move up tomorrow in another round if they have someone in mind.

That holds up on the chart. It's a difference of 6 points, I think.
Point was even if doesn't add up to an exact # it isn't a failure.
I'm glad we got some extrap picks, screw what a chart says.
If we get a player, screw the lost points.

Happens every year. Folks think they know how nfl teams function.
Just like there was no way guys like Spence would fall out of the top 10 a few weeks ago.
-
Here's what the Texans and Falcons did right after us...I'd say we did better in general so I think the chart is overrated..
Traded their 2nd-round No. 50 overall pick to the Texans for their 2nd-round No. 52 overall pick and 6th rd 195.
That was literallyf or moving 2 spots. We seem to have done ok for only moving 10 spots I think.

The value of a late 7th is more in the form of not letting a long-shot prospect go UDFA and ensure him for your camp instead of giving him the option to go to another team.
Which could definitely get us a player. Folks act like you can't find talent anywhere other then the first few rounds.

Jesus, give it a rest. If Green was the guy they wanted and that was the best deal on the table, should they have turned it down and picked Green because the trade wasn't strong enough.
You have absolutely no clue what the process was so just stop. We get it, we didn't get enough according to a chart that is very fluid.
Forgot who it was, but a team traded soon after us and our deal was definitely better so I'm also not sure how we got hosed. They essentially swapped picks like we did, dropped a few spots and only got a 4th. At least we got the latter pick also.

When exactly are we going to address this pass rush? I'm okay with more protection for Luck but this is got my concern meter up a little. I take it they were not high on Fackrell.
There's definitely still time thankfully, but even if we don't make drastic strides on our pass rush, we can at least have an O that can stay on the field longer. You can't deny we have had tons of 3 and outs which kills the D.
They obviously have to get a legit pass rusher at some point, but at the very least maybe they can perform better by being on the field less. We still haven't had a season with Art Jones so hopefully getting him back, Anderson getting healthy along with a pick and/or some udfa's in a few days will at least make them serviceable with the O carrying a bit more of the slack.

What do y'all think our starting O-Line will look like next year?
It'll actually have talent instead of a collection of pieces..
-
Protecting Luck...I'm cool with that
-
Tip of the hat to our military I'd like to say.

According to this it's not true:
It's getting old bro, you don't like the pick. Move on.

Get outta here with all that optimism! The guy has already failed us. Just read all these posts saying how awful he is yet they know nothing about him.
I'm thinking he's going to cover taller TE's and receivers. That'll come in handy against guys like Gronk.

The pick really surprised me... Wait and see, I guess.
I think Billings must have a gas mask video out there...
Or he's just not any good.
People really think they know more then they think when it comes to the draft.
-
I've gotta guess he'll be used to cover big TE's which we can't do at all or be converted to S.
-
How good is Billings of he's still on the board?

I think he's still there. They may have been showing last night's footage, but it looked like he was back in the green room
Not saying you're wrong but that's what Eisen said a few minutes ago...either way I don't really care, just saying what I think I heard

Good was far from a lock. Wasn't he a 7th round guy? Unless you're lights out, you're far from safe.
