Official 2017 NFL Draft Thread

So what, you obviously didn't watch Florida play they won the SEC East with 4 losses and got smoked by Bama in the SECCG.

 

I'm not the best at evaluating QBs so I usually refrain. But I like Gruden's QB show, here is some clips when Dobbs was on. Would have preferred defense with that pick but I understand the reason they chose him. Need good depth at QB, just ask Arizona from two years ago. Down to their 3rd stringer...

If they were looking for Ben's successor I would've preferred someone like Davis Webb who the Giants drafted.

 

From the little I've seen on Dobbs, I do like his personality. That can be a major factor when leading a team.

 

there goes my project CB in Hairston....to the colts

 

Yea, I'm the one who doesn't watch college all

 

If he's like Dak I could live with that. Although Dak's sample size in the pros is still pretty sparse. My thing is this. Can Dobbs stand in the pocket and not be a run first qb? I think in our division especially if he does that then he is in for a short career. I just don't want to see another qb going the way of RG3 and especially when he plays for us.

 

I am fine with this draft. I would have preferred a few different players...but the positions are all pretty much what everyone thought.

I like Watt....but I would have taken Foster
Juju is a solid WR...I just don't think he is ever Boldin.....but even if he is...it won't be soon enough to help the 2017 Steelers
Sutton....I had a lot of those middle CB's ranked about the same..so not a big deal here
Connor...Sure maybe early,but I am big on go get your guy. If you think Connor is the guy..you take him and make sure he is playing for you
Dobbs... I bet he plays better than Jones in the preseason...and we all are wondering why Jones is still #2

The rest of the way...doesnt really matter....if anyone from here out comes in and contributes it will be a plus and a surprise.

I like Ricky Seals Jones..I think he is a poor mans Kelvin Benjamin...might have to make the move to TE...but could be a WR/TE hybrid...but we are almost drafting for the practice squad at this point.

I have said it for awhile...I think Bens replacement is still in High School. There is not 1 guy in this draft that I think would be anywhere near Bens level.....we may have other QBs start...but the next "THE MAN" isn't here yet.

HACK

 

It sure seems like it, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

 

I never said that he won't succeed. I just said that "brains" and "character" are not all that it takes because if that were the case then Fitz and Tebow would be champions by now. Instead, one is a free agent and one is a minor league met. I want Dobbs to succeed but to say that he's the future of the Steelers with a straight face is pure hipster contrarianism and nothing more. Did you keep up with his career a lot when he was here? Even Mayock seemed perplexed by it and I'm no fan of Mayock but if his accuracy can be fixed and he can translate to the pros then I will be the first one in line to buy his jersey. His claim to fame here in Knoxville is that he made a Hail Mary throw. That's the memorable "Josh Dobbs moment" in his UT career. A lucky throw. I know they were talking about him having come from behind wins but we also lost a lot of close games too. His last year at UT was good though and his numbers did continue to increase. I'm just saying that I don't think he's the next Ben.

 

I'd like to see Carroll Phillips in the 5th. Still thin at OLB and Harrison has a year or two left. We're gonna need a backup ROLB when Harrison retires.

 

This is a dumb statement. There is a ton of Qb's, teams, and coaches that has never beat Alabama.

 

Ouch...and so it begins lol

 

Yea, I don't know that Florida played Man 1 Spy all day isolating Jarrad Davis against Dobbs all day.

Please.

 

Any thoughts on Bucky Hodges?

 

Yeah because he's not a Dobbs fan at all and he was like "I just figured I'd call and laugh at you" and "well you guys have a good qb now..." and I was like "Yeah I know we have a good qb. His name is Ben Roethlisberger". LOL!

 

ok 5 more picks, who we thinking?

 

Stop acting like fans can't question the pick of Dobbs and his accuracy problems, when Mike Mayock mentioned his accuracy problems also.

 

Brian Allen CB, probably a TE or ILB

 

Actually if fans did not question picks, this would be an awfully quiet forum. I remember loving the '08 draft - shows what I know.

 

Fans can do whatever they want. That doesn't change the fact that your lazy alabama/Florida angle isn't anything but stupid

 

I remember that draft Mendenhall and Sweed.
