2023 NFL Draft -- April 27th to April 29

[NFLfan]

Modern medicine has improved a lot. The former players look really good. In the past these guys could barely walk. But then again, they probably are hand-picking vets that look well.

Same. I thought you announced Torrence before I heard it on NFL Network but maybe not. Sorry.

Oh no problem, I always like to see some Mel Kiper early but overall pretty close in quality. Wonder what viewership numbers nationally are ?

[NFLfan]

What do you all think of the latest picks?

[fire cartier]

Have not done as much watching positions other than QB this year, but they seem like reaches compared to consensus boards.

It would be tempting. 

No it wouldn’t because you are inviting a QB controversy and even in the best case scenario where him or Richardson works out you are wasting a top 100 pick which is just dumb when you have as many needs as the Colts do.

[NFLfan]

Can the Vikings trade up?

[fire cartier]

texans  get smart  qb and ol  . ppl

I was thinking the exact same thing... 

 

The NFL clearly thinks the Vols offense is a gimmicky offense and one read offense 

[Nesjan3]

Did we trade back in the 3rd with the broncos?

[Roosarioo]

Thought we might have seen something on a D Hop trade by now

I thought so too. It seems that a lot of top talent have dropped.

I think that was part of the Nick Cross trade last year if im not mistaken.

There’s been no announcement that I’m aware of.

All good forgot we traded up last year for Cross

It’s from last years trade

NFL Network has it as Washington - INDY.

It's possible the return would be much lower than anticipated. For example Amari Cooper went for a 5th last year... 

[holeymoley99]

I wanted Mims round 3, Josh downs falling though so maybe we still get our slot here

[csmopar]

hmmm would you give two 5ths for Hopkins…

Hi Tom! You like your draft picks? @TomDiggs

 

 

I have to admit that I thought the 2nd round went as well as possible for the Colts

 

Everyone knew they had to get a CB or two this draft. And knew it was a deep draft at CB but some really top-notch guys were falling.

 

I had a very, very slight preference of Ringo to Brents.....but Brents was always, always, always the more likely Colts player w his traits.

 

So you put him in a secondary where he can be coached up by Milus and i think its a fantastic pick

 

To get an additional 4 and 5 just for moving down 9 spots is killer.

 

I still would like to see another CB and then interior OL and slot WR help.

 

But we are loaded in mid round picks with (2)  4s and (4) 5s

 

That is a lot of dart throws for Ballard and team and also those 5s make it easy to move up in the 3rd if someone we have high is lingering.

 

Happy so far

[NFLfan]

Who might the Eagles steal here?

[RollerColt]

Interesting choice, Chicago.

I guess... I would prefer for us to invest into the future and young players more on the timeline of Richardson, rather than for the now. We are not competing this year ...

not happy need RG and OT , WR  .

Probably go with another georgia player and pick Ringo

I was thinking the same

[NFLfan]

Would anyone be surprised if the Eagles drafted a QB?

[csmopar]

Just now, fire cartier said:

And now we have the ammo to get them

[RollerColt]

So do the Eagles just give their choices together?

Not really Hooker would be a cheap back up for the next 4 years

[fire cartier]

true , cheap back for colts  start best duo , 

[nyyankeechris]

Everybody talking about needing a slot receiver....in my estimation our slot receiver is already on our team.  Don't underestimate McKenzie...he is gonn surprize a lot of people 

[NFLfan]

Just now, Zoltan said:

That is my thinking. They draft QBs almost every year

[RollerColt]

Not a bad idea. Develop him, raise his value on the cheap and then trade him for maximum profit…

 

Oh lord I sound like Castellini and the Cincinnati Reds!

That’s true plus I guess he won’t have many suitors since he seems pretty set on moving to a contender at this stage of his career

[NFLfan]

Eagles coming up...yet again. Smh

[TomDiggs]

Just now, fire cartier said:
