Title: 2015 NFL Draft
Post by: rollntider on April 30, 2015, 10:25:59 PM
So far I gotta say its interesting.

GLad for Cooper to be picked 4th.

Scratching my head at Philly and Titans.... if the trade offer is true both are crazy, Philly for offering and Tennessee for turning it down.

Meh...I think Tampa was dumb for taking Winston over Mariota, but JMO.
I'm kind of in shock that the Lions actually traded down and got some extra picks in return. They're almost acting like a real team...it's beautiful watching them grow up before your eyes, it really is.  :'(

:thumbsup:

Hey, congrats to Byron Jones on going to the Cowboys. Playing corner in Dallas, you can learn how to PI without getting called for it or having the flag rescinded in no time!

I swear Jerry Jones is going to make me quit being a dallas fan. If the pats take Landon Collins, I will be a pats fan.....

On the one hand it was so damn awesome to see 3 Huskies go in the first round. On the other hand...how the hell did the UW team not win more games last year? Oh well.

Can't wait to see these guys in the league, especially Danny Shelton. Love that guy.

I didn't realize you guys had 3. That's impressive.

Day 2: I absolutely love the Lions picking up Abdullah from Nebraska in the second round. Think he'll turn out to be a more than suitable replacement for Reggie Bush (who was almost always hurt anyway).
And thai, the Seahawks grabbing DE Frank Clark is a nice pickup-I just hope the kid makes the most out of his second chance.

Abdullah is from just up the road from us in Homewood. I always pulled for him and hoped he would do great. Best of luck to him. :thumbsup:

After the draft, did everyone's team draft like they wanted?

I was glad to see the cowboys drafted DB help. Beats the crap out of drafting OL when your DBs are getting burned.

I thought they should have gotten lamndon collins, 5 star recruit in high school, 1st  team All SEC and all american and they get a guy out of UConn.

I'm happy with what the Seahawks got. When they traded up in the third round, I thought for sure it was going to be for Jaelen Strong. Was super disappointed that it wasn't, but seeing more and more of Tyler Lockett makes me pretty excited for the pick. Thought that they did a good job of addressing all their need positions while still grabbing guys that fit the athletic profile they've been targeting at OL, CB.

Now that Frank Clark pick...Norm it's good to hear you think it's a good one. Schneider/Carroll are under some heavy fire around here for that pick given that they were all supposedly against DV and all that. We'll indeed see if he stays out of trouble, but he seems like a very intriguing prospect from what I've seen of him.
