I know. We do have some comp picks coming next year.

Yeah, it's okay, as long as McCarthy looks good, these stuff matter less

[ColtStrong2013]

this commentary from Bellichick is good stuff. 
 

when you play in a dome, and especially get ahead, that crowd noise with explosive players on defense is hard to block. No disrespect to the secondary but when a qb can’t get the ball out, you don’t have to cover for very long… 

[TheNextGM]

With the Raiders taking Bowers wonder if they would move Mayers.. send them a 4th!

The Vikings did well tonight if McCarthy works out. Love the Turner pick. 

I'm cool with it, you've got to take chances anyhow, it's better to take chances and see how it goes.

Sell me on Worthy… I think he’s too small

I think we've seen that small WRs can be successful if they're used properly. He has a lot more technical refinement than he gets credit for and Steichen is an offensive mind that could make use of his explosiveness while minimizing the issues his size could present. I think he's way closer to TY than John Ross.

The reality is folks, we’re not set long term in having a dominant Edge player. Ebukam is a solid stop gap, Dayo is a swing DE/DT, and Paye hasn’t played well enough for the Colts to pick up his 5th year.

 

With QB and LT sorted long term, it makes sense to now aim to get a top Edge rusher. There is still capital to improve our WR and CB rooms too.

By far, the best post of this thread so far.  Congratulations.

 

For the first time in 7 years, we appear to have the top three most important positions secured......and under rookie contracts.  That's the way you build an NFL team.

I'm too much of an NFL fan to miss the draft! I did schedule something for Saturday afternoon; so, I will miss some picks then.

Even if JJ McCarthy doesn't work out, there's always Next Draft...

 

(Sees there are no picks in next year draft)

 

There's always 2026 Draft

Same here. I can live with it. I don't know how to feel right now because he wasn't on my radar either. 

Interested in knowing as I don’t follow college, was it because you didn’t think he was going to be available or you didn’t think he was healthy and would drop further in the draft

All these giving up draft picks is just an elaborate Tank Job that gets you to the Arch of a Beautiful Future ...

I expected us to take a WR or a Corner. Also because of his injury, I thought he may fall late 1st round. 

[John Hammonds]

Dolphins take Chop Robinson.  Wait -- that's what I did in our mock draft!

Problem is there is a team in our division with all 3 spots secured with proven talent. We still have some question marks but it’s progress I guess

[VikingsFanInChennai]

So, Basically Houston Texans traded their first round pick this year to Jacksonville Jaguars 

[Zoltan]

Somehow the eagles are gonna end up with the best CB in the draft at 22, with CB being there biggest need. Howie has to be laughing

Which is why we are a few seasons behind them.  They had their LT for a while, and got immediate results from picks 2 and 3...QB and EDGE.  That's hard for any team to keep pace with.

I don't see them doing that. Mayers is an inline Y and Bowers is more of a big slot. They're really complimentary of eachother.

[DougDew]

BTW, I just read on Walter Football that some teams flagged DALLAS TURNER for medical reasons, and that's why he fell.  It didn't elaborate

[NFLfan]

Mitchell looks so disappointed

[DougDew]

Mitchell was the player I figured Philly wanted.  I was hoping they would trade up with us to get him, but that didn't happen.  Probably was a good thing we stayed put.

He's been looking that way all night.  For some people, when they are nervous, they kind of just shut down.

[runthepost]

That’s nice

[NFLfan]

Brian Thomas Jr. looks like Antonio Brown.

I was going to say that I remember seeing Coach Ed post a picture with Latu and Turner, which told me he was working with them. Also works with Dayo and Paye.

 

Whelp, now I have to hope BTJ doesn't play well now..

[TheNextGM]

Jags get BTJ.

Hope he’s a bust lol

Before or after Musth?

Yeah I haven’t been a fan of Thomas, thought he was more of a 2nd rounder than a 1st. I think the Jags reached for him. 

[ColtStrong2013]

In the words of bill bellichick, no disrespect to the secondary, but if the qb can’t get the ball out, you don’t have to cover as long… 

 

Bring. the. heat. 
 

many on here said the pressure from the d-line wasn’t good enough in spite of a record breaking sack year… said it wouldn’t sustain without the pressure. Well, we will find out…

[IndyEV]

Latu doesnt look very big!? Doesnt look like he will Bull rush any OT!? Lets hope he’s not another edge that will overrun the qb by a mile every play!

[Solid84]

Cowboys traded the 24th to the Lions... the Cowboys are all in hahaha.

What would you find out?

 

That was said about the current pass rushers. Which Ballard seems to agree

I can't help feeling like we got TJ Watt with the 15th overall pick... STEAL..

He's 6'4" 260 lbs, so he's not small, but he's way more of a technical pass rusher than brute strength. He does well transitioning speed to power though, which is important.

Hope is that he's like TJ Watt mold of a player

[NFLfan]

@John Hammonds Terrion Arnold took off his classes. I like this kid.

[Solid84]

Did the Packers run in that DeJean pick, lol? It's in...
