Old Lion's short draft

[Old Lion]

So here is what I got so far. I think we take A DL a LB and RB in the first 3 rounds. It may depend who falls to us. in round to determine the rest.

Personally I would like to see us go defense first. I see 2 main scenarios. Number 2 is my preference.

R1 DT Payne AL
R2 OLB Jefferson TX
R3 RB Johnson Aub

R1 OLB Landry BC
R2 DT Settle Va Tech
R3 RB Johnson Aub

There is the possiblity that Guice falls to us in R1 then we might jump there which makes it more complicated.

R1 RB Guice LSU
R2 DT Settle Va Tech or OLB Jefferson TX
R3 DT Nnadi FL St or OLB Avery Mem


What do you guys think and who do you got?

I’m always looking at trades scenarios. Bills have 2 in each of the first 3 rounds. Hoping Guice would be tempting to them or others with teams feeling we’d take him. With 6 in the first 96 at some point there is a luxury pick or two. Although they may use them to move up for a QB, so...

Put my picks up shortly.

 

[gandydancer]

1) Guice
2) Ejiofor DE Wake
3) Trenton Thompson DT Georgia

1)Lorenzo Carter OLB Georgia
2) Harrison Phillips DT Stanford
3) Armstrong DE Kansas

1)Landry DE BC
2) Chubb RB
3) Tim Settle DT Va Tech

Don’t really care how they get DT/DE/OLB/ RB in the first four picks. I do feel BQ needs to trade back in at least round 2 or 3. Will need a extra 4th or 5th IMO for a C/OG and TE before talent drop off occurs.

 

[Stomp]

1 Taven Bryan
2 Sam Hubbard
3 Royce Freeman

Same here. C/G would be my 4th round pick. Just not sure who yet. Also, isnt Ragnow injured so could drop to the middle of the draft. There is certainly a value opportunity if he is there in the 4th.

 

[Old Lion]

1 Taven Bryan
2 Sam Hubbard
3 Royce Freeman

I am not as high on Bryan as many. I like Hubbard a lot. He could fill Ziggy's role in the new defense. He could still be there in the 3rd too. Freeman probably wont so we may have to switch those.

1) Guice
2) Ejiofor DE Wake
3) Trenton Thompson DT Georgia

2) Harrison Phillips DT Stanford
3) Armstrong DE Kansas

1)Landry DE BC
2) Chubb RB
3) Tim Settle DT Va Tech

I like the last 2. The first one has too much of a stretch with the 2nd and 3rd pick. Mostly the 3rd one. TT does not seem like an early round pick to me. Certainly in the 5th though.

 

[Thruthefog]

Probably somebody from Syracuse.

 

[gandydancer]

1 Taven Bryan
2 Sam Hubbard
3 Royce Freeman

Thing I like of the first two are the versatility. Taven can go inside/out and Hubbard can fit both front 7 schemes. Many kids are stuck to one scheme.

I’m thinking there top rated player is ranked in the 200’s. So you’re prolly right.

 

[Stomp]

Freeman in the 2nd would be pretty huge reach(he's a reach in the 3rd) he's basically Jordan Howard light

C James Daniels, Iowa

C James Daniels, Iowa

I don’t want to trade up.

He's that damn good. We will be lucky if he's there at 20.

He will be there but he does not fit. He is a zone blocking specialist. I have doubts about his drive blocking. Still if he is there in the 2nd then it would be pretty tempting.

Lions announced today that they're moving Graham Glasgow to C anyways. Bummer. Whoever gets Daniels will getting a 10 year starter. Watch the Patriots snag him.

That would suck. That funky snap of his is not conducive to the QB being under center. I am not gonna stress until the draft is over though. Never know what will fall into our laps. If a center is there we may still take him and let him play LG for a year before swapping those guys back to their natural positions.

Glasgow is still better than Swanson IMO. Johnson is not though. He was the worst starting center in football last year.

Pats use a myriad of schemes and have 5 picks in the top 64 I believe so it could happen.
