Damn gints drafted my boy Elerson  Smith , they had a good draft 

I think the NFCE draft in order of best to last

NYG- WR, Edge rushers 3 2022 draft picks including a 1st

Dallas- ridiculous LB crew, totally transformed their defense in 1 draft

Philly-  Smith is the highlight, Dickerson is the risk/reward, Gainwell the value and the rest meh

WFT-  Added more firepower to the defense, Dyami is a tremendous WR.  No QB of the future.

Ill say, as a big howie supporter still- Im not thrilled with this draft after day 3.

I think it will be salvaged by contributions from the first 3 picks.

I dont love spending almost the entire 2nd day on tweener conversion projects or the typical undersized high production guys.

Gainwell was a guy I saw a few times on TV and heard future 1st round hype. But then I looked in to him more and wasnt that impressed. I think he will get playing time due to the lack of talent in our backfield but hes a guy I suspect we will be looking to replace each year till its done. 

Lets be honest. We can have high hopes for these guys, but these types of picks never work out for us and instead of sprinkling in 1 or 2 we just loaded up the entire 3rd day on them. 

That's pretty much the case for most drafts.  Maybe one of the first three fail, but a couple day 3 guys show up instead.

For me success would look like Smith becoming a star, Dickerson, Williams, and McPhearson becoming solid starters, and one other guy becoming a regular contributor.

I forgot about McPhearson. Hes a guy I never paid attention to because I spent a lot less time on draft prep this year and I focused more on the CBs with great length and he was under 6'0'' so I overlooked him. Seems to have the most upside of today's picks as pretty much the only guy who was drafted to play his actual position.

Hopefully that one works out. Id like them to hit on more than 3 picks. That doesnt necessarily mean starters, but would like some of these day 3 guys to be able to be contributors on more than just STs. Im not that confident that any of them can unless we remain that bad of a team where they are just getting playing time here by default.

I don’t know that Milton Williams is going to work out.  It’ll be a challenge to properly harness his skill set.

But I will be in his corner more than I have for any pick in years.  Love everything about this guy.

How many LBs will Dallas play at a time? I think Dallas had a pretty poor draft tbh.

not to mention they have added so many more bad apples to their locker room. It should hold them back. cant imagine any good team chemistry ever developing on that team.

he might be our CB and no one realizes it. Better workout than that one Georgia CB drafted pretty high.

Broncos absolutely nailed their draft

Give him a year to get to 295 and he can be a killer 3T

LVE is a threat to retire due to injuries.  Jaylon Smith is on his way out.  He'll be a cap casualty next year.

Parsons and Cox as your linebackers in 2 backer sets is that will give us nightmares.

Simi Fehoko replaces Gallup when he walks next year.   CeeDee, Cooper and Fehoko is very good.

Several on here always praise Dallas draft picks and get scared of them.

Wake me up when they actually go far in the playoffs.

They love the Patriots draft, not surprising since Belichick is likely the person who started the Barmore (doesn’t listen to coaches stuff.)  Freakin cheater.

You’re really optimistic about Fehoko.

He's exciting for sure.  Is he a DE or a DT?  Does it even matter?  He's an elite athlete.  Will be fun to see what happens with him

who wouldnt enjoy reading something good about themselves? Havent we all read our own stuff if we have ever been in the newspaper? Doesnt everyone these days make highlight videos of themselves on Hudl?

Didnt he win executive of the year that year?

Havent we all consumed every bit of media from that year as much as we possibly could? That was such an incredible year. It wasnt just fun watching the games, but every press clipping and video just enhanced the experience so much more. 

Who cares?

I assumed we’d use a late pick on one. Still time with UDFAs. 

Majority of punters are UDFA Australian guys. I’m sure there’s someone out there for competition. No need to waste a pick

Yes, I am.  I would have been just as optimistic if we drafted him.  He was high on my list of late round guys for the Eagles to get.

Actually, I'll have more nightmares about what we trot out at linebacker.

Will there be rookie mini camp in person or is that all virtual too?

See that's something to worry about.  

If anything Parsons teammates in Dallas should have nightmares that he'll try to hump them in the shower after practice and games. 

Trevon Grimes should be able to beat out JJAW and Hightower.

He's actually similar to Simi in a lot of ways.
