2023 NFL Draft Thread

[mjhaverkamp]

Still firm on drafting RB in first round is a waist, stack the line.

If you are sitting at 26 and a player who is rankled as maybe top 5 in the draft falls to you, you happen to need him, your QB needs him , I say you take him. Would you draft him in the second round ? they are only 4 picks from the second round. People talk about how a first rounder should make it 7 - 10 years in the NFL, players taken in the bottom half of round one do not even average 4 years in the NFL. I doubt he is there anyway so I am with you, stack the line.

QB should be able to make work with what we got, but that's a different topic.

RBs should got 3/4th round, the value is just not there anymore.

I like the two young TEs we have. I think one will blow up without Schultz in the way.

I'd like to see Oline or DL in the late first... I'd even take Robinson over a TE

[Dale Moser]

Jerry admitted taking zeke was too high of a draft pick, let hope he learned a lesson and stays away from Robinson.

26 Aint 4. Bijon is a dynamic player, if he's there at 26, you take him. If not, get a 300Lb something or other.

Yep. The best thing about picking that low in the 1st is you have a 5th year rookie contract option, it really is almost like picking at the top of the 2nd round other than that.

Definitely agree though, if Bijan falls to 26 (not happening, right?) you take him. If not, interior OL if a very good one is there. Interior DL also a possibility but I would also like to see them take a good Edge at some point and get back to moving Parsons around more like it seemed they did his Rookie year.

Dude looked seriously gassed at several points the last 4 or so games in ‘22.

With the Pollard situation, Bijan would be the smart call, Dak is praying that he falls that far.

Now the Texans are a different story. A lot of people are expecting them to make smart decisions but based on their track record, I wouldn’t hold my breath. I’m hoping Ryans has the most input on the selections, they need so much help they need solid players.

I cant see any RB being drafted in 1st round anymore......too much money

Denver spits out RBs every couple years that put up good numbers....

Very seldom does a AP come along

[Bayouboy]

I could see Philly, Dallas, and or Cinci grabbing Bijon in the 1st.

[Dale Moser]

I'd be pretty happy if that were their picks. I can't see then sticking at 2, 12, and 33. I think they'll move at least once in the first three picks.

They’d be stupid to trade out of 2, those don’t come around that often. Get the cornerstone of your franchise at 2, and get cute with the others if you must.

Yah I can see them moving at 12 up or down. I wouldn't doubt if they do the same with #33. I think it's QB or Defensive Stud at #2. I don't think they'll trade out of that spot. Caserio is already walking on thin ice. He has to get it right at 2. They have a ton of draft picks and 5 in the top 100 but he can't miss with 2.

[bowmansdad]

I wouldn’t mind the Texans going D on the 1st 3 picks, it was horrible last year. There’s going to be qbs better than Mills later on, if Hooker was available at 33, he’d be my choice. Caserio needs to get it right but Cal is the boss!

S2 test scores: Never has been a successful QB in the league with a score of 80 or below, so with that if Texans go QB they better take Levis.

Young- 98
Levis- 96
Richardson- 79
Hooker- 46
Stroud- 18

Those were supposedly the unconfirmed "leaked" scores but I saw reports today that the S2 people said they weren't accurate. A team that wanted Stroud or Hooker to slip down the boards could have been responsible for "leaking" that.

Don’t be shocked if Levis is where the Panthers go.

No, I’m not saying he’s worth that pick but he does have a lot of traits a former quarterback/now head coach would want to start with.

My opinion, he’s being undersold to an extent. He lost a lot of talent before last season, plus his OC and the replacement OC was fired after his first season.

That said, it’s the Panthers so who really cares. Pick 2 then becomes really interesting if that happens. Do the Texans take Young, possibly sit him for a year while building defense, and then bring him out in year 2?

They signed Keenum and still have Mills. Maybe Ryan’s starts trying to replicates what SF has done, a QB with talent but not depend on him. Tanking for next year would be an option for sure, but what are you going to have to give up to get one of the top 2 QB’s in that draft.

I already don’t see the Texans being bad enough to get one just off of the 2023 results. It would have to be a pretty obvious tank job, that’s why I’m asking.

First pick is going to make things real interesting this year.

Surely you cannot suggest that someone in the NFL would dare to do something dastardly unbecoming of a professional sports franchise?
