Draft day is upon us.  So who are we picking this evening? 

I don't think Howie will succeed in his attempt to trade up, and we will come out of today with George Karlafitis ( guess I better learn to spell his name after tonight ) and the 4th best WR of the group.

WITH THE 15th PICK IN THE DRAFT THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES SELECT...

KENNY PICKETT, QB, PITTSBURGH.

Do Not Want: London, Burks

I don't quite understand the London hate. Why don't you want him?

I am rooting for chaos tonight. I am hoping for a time to run out of time on their pick and for a bunch of teams to run up to the podium and start picking ala the 2003 draft with the Vikings. I am hoping for some trades all around the board with a bunch of them leaving us scratching our heads. I am hoping for someone to draft a 3rd round pick in the top ten and that it won't be the Eagles this time.

I’ve never seen him get separation and he refused to run his 40. Looks like he’s slow. 50/50 catches on every play in the NFL are bound for disaster.

You've ruined my whole day

This would be consistent with the offseason to date

I do like the thought of having a big, physical WR to go along with Smith and Watkins though.  If they take one of Williams, Olave or Wilson, then you have 3 WR all hovering around 6-0 and under 200.  That's a pretty small WR group.  

Now, you bring in a 6-2 225 lb WR and that really changes the dynamics of the WR room.  

Exactly. And he’s so versatile. Outside, slot, backfield. He’s unique in this class, as is Williams.

Yeah I realize that, but I just see him as a round 2 guy. I don' see any LB getting drafted until the mid 1st, and I don't think quay is the first off the board (Lloyd feels like the guy). Dean is just a better football player, and that is not a knock on walker he is solid. 

My mistake. I interpreted mid round as like rounds 3/4, not mid-1st. I agree that Dean is probably better right now, but then you also have the argument that he's undersized and had the benefit of playing behind their DL. I can see why teams might be hesitant. I'd consider Dean if he was mysteriously dropped to our 2nd but I can see why he's fallen out of favor versus more prototypical sized LBs.

Downside tonight is that the Giants are in a really good spot to turn their franchise around especially with competent people running the show now.

I’m not sure how Booth isn’t a top 15 pick.  He’s good man.  Real good.  

Apparently there's some injury/surgery thing. I never looked into it though.

Well I have him off the board by 20. We have to stop gauging the draft off of mocks and our own projections. Outside the first 2 picks I'm expecting a completely different draft.

I hate seeing the Giants with 2 picks so early in the draft.

The funny part is they will get good players up there, but stick with Daniel Jones at QB.

It very well could be, but I swear we hear this each year.

This still pisses me off

It sucks for sure.  I'm very vocal on here how much I hate seeing our rivals get good players.  

I'm pretty confident that NYG or Washington will come away with some sort of combination of Olave, Stingley, Gardner or Thibedeoux.

Dallas will certainly pick guys with character questions who have potential to be studs.

Brett Kollmann dropped a new mock. Wouldn't be surprised if it played out this way.

I’ll take Karlaftis over Wyatt. Wyatt is 24 and has red flags. 

Kar wasn’t available in this sim. Didn’t realize Wyatt is 24. I don’t like that either

Howie must have at least a dozen jerseys pre-printed and sitting in boxes for the draft.

And one of them is a Pickett jersey.

Just want the Giants to win enough to not pick top 3 next year. Keep them in that murky middle.

I cant speak for the OP, but I have JJaw trauma and USC receiver trauma. He is big bodied and plays physical, contested catch specialist. There is a lot to like, but he is not explosive and struggles with separation. He is like Mike Williams without the speed. London is the type of guy I would pick late first or in the 2nd, not as high as we currently sit.

Yep, come join us in the middle!

Last one of the year.

Hasn't helped the Jags over the years... or Jets... or Lions...
