NFL Draft Night - As It Happens.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Do we still use both the Okwara brothers off the edge as pass rushers now that we added Hutch? Does their role change at all?

[RandyMarsh]

Also just gotta say I'm liking the fact that they stopped showing the guys in the green room receiving the phone calls before the pick is announced spoiling any surprise. I think they did the same thing last year too so hopefully it continues to be like that. 

[buddha]

or listening to chris berman say who the pick is so everyone can think he's smart about football.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Where does Malik WIllis go? I had the Saints trading up for him at some point.

[buddha]

maybe willis will be available at 32...

[TP_Fan]

I feel for the panthers fans.  It hurts so much to see so many good players and then you take a tackle.  

[RandyMarsh]

Kinda like how Hutch and Thibs were seen as the top DEs all year only for Walker to go 1st, Neal was basically the consensus OT all year only to get passed by Ikem.

It’s not an impossibility.  And if he is, you gotta take him. 

[RandyMarsh]

Id imagine if Willis is still there at 31 Cincy could get a bounty for the pick from a team to get him and that 5th year option. Teams would probably think that we would take him so they'd want to get ahead of us.

here go the tackles.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Giants have won the first round IMO. Getting arguably the best DE and the best Tackle prospect is going to be hard to beat.

[RandyMarsh]

If Ikem ends up being way better than Neal I think the Giants will regret not taking Ikem 5 and Thibs at 7 since the Panthers weren't going to take Thibs anyway.

anthony munoz was one of the greatest tackles of all time.

evan neal is 60 pounds heavier!  man, players have gotten so much bigger.

I was impressed the Lions were able to resist drafting another guy with Os Us and Ws in his name.

[RandyMarsh]

Drake London and Kyle Pitts is definitely a hell of a receiving tandem, of course we're all too familiar with what freaky receivers mean for your team if you don't have anybody else on your team.

We were trend setters in drafting extra large, oversized lineman.

[Motown Bombers]

 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Does Seattle take Willis?

[buddha]

repeat after me: drake london is not mike evans.

[RandyMarsh]

I completely forgot about the Matt Ryan trade until they just brought up Mariotta for the Falcons.

I would say no.
