Draft Day chat thread

[James in PA]

We got THE BEST CB & THE BEST WR in this draft! Still worries about the trenches, but hopefully we'll find some steals from this point on.

Same. Not liking this draft at all. Being cute again instead of addressing the real issues.

Top CB and top WR is a weird definition of cute. If they'd gone tight end or something I'd agree, but they took the top players on the board at two of the highest value spots in the league.

I’m pretty sure that the front office that drafted the runner up defensive rookie of the year and offensive rookie of the year plus 2 starting tackles disagrees. They legit probably had JSN ranked inside the top 10 so I like it

 

[Maelstrom787]

I'd honestly think that overdrafting a nose tackle would probably be a little more cute than what they did tonight.

Absolutely. They didn't reach for these guys either. They earned those spots.

This receiver will win rookie of the Year.

He'll be better than Eskridge and finally prove me right

 

[CsrolinaHawker]

All the DTs and DEs (OG/C too) at this point are fairly similar with depth thru round 3 or 4. If we want an ILB that might be next. Pretty thin. Most would be later than 37 but lack of depth might push them up.

 

[Natethegreat]

They addressed the trenches last year and in free agency. Plus they have more picks coming up. I don't love picking Witherspoon or JSN but at least we got what they felt was the top two players at those positions.

I would be a better receiver than Eskridge.

 

[AMereMuse]

So, tomorrow -- let's see two of the following over the next 2 rounds, and I'd be stoked about this draft:

1) Bryan Breese
2) Mazi Smith
3) O'Cyrus Torrence
4) Trenton Simpson
5) Daiyan Henley
6) John Michael Schmitz

 

[Echawks]

Are you forgetting that we brought in jones and reed to fill those gaps?

That is an exceptionally low bar.

 

[Seahawkfan80]

So far B+

 

[JayhawkMike]

I have no issue with the players taken. They are not the reaches of 3-6 years ago at all. Appropriate players for the draft position. Just not sure what they didn't like about our CBs last year. And while I have no issue drafting a 3rd receiver I just don't think you do that in the 1st round.

I actually think there's a really good chance that Hawks have their own Sauce/Garrett Wilson combination as ROY possibilities with 'Spoon and JSN. Solid chance they win offensive and defensive rookie of the year.

Seattle also played the board nicely. Took Spoon then a run went on OT, RB then corner. Seattle takes WR then 3 receiver needy teams select after them.

I don't know any team that would come out of day one with the best CB and best WR and feel bad about that.

 

[hgwellz12]

Dang, he look good!

He was the 1st and last player highlights I watched last night and I was like "whoever gets dawg is getting a baller"...didn't really think he would be on the board past...like 13-15. I can't find a way to be upset with this pick at all

 

[Fade]

Not even close to enough. But I am sure tomorrow they will add multiple D-Lineman.

 

[CallMeADawg]

Ask any coach if they want DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and JSN as their receivers. Not many are going to say no.

 

[AMereMuse]

'Spoon's got Dawg in him.
