The official 2023 NFL draft thread (no spoilers)

Man, what a classy lady that announced Washingtons pick.

 

What a novel draft strategy.

"Hey! That team is good. Let's draft their guys!"

It seems to be working. I know there are issues with Ringo and he might end up at safety, but he is a fantastic athlete and he is more than willing to play physical.

 

Herbig?

 

Well, beyond STD i am the smartest, and I know jack ****. lol

 

I am all in on Nick Herbig!

 

I wish we had 1 extra pick, I wonder if we could move Dodson for a 5th?

 

I never could get into the treadmill....unless it was bad outside....I always wanted to get My roadwork done outside. 2 forward, and 2 backwards.

 

At this point, I'm hoping To'o, Herbig, or Antonio Johnson.

 

Yep, those are my three.

 

One other person I like from Georgia is Christopher Smith. He's a safety, but undersizes, so all weaknesses are around that


https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Christopher-Smith-DB-Georgia

Christopher Smith has proved to be a super productive player while playing on the best defense in the nation at Georgia. He's pretty much played like a lockdown corner when asked to cover as a part-time nickel back - and looked like a seasoned veteran when playing center field in the defensive backfield. However, while no one can question Smith's technique, experience, or football IQ - which are all outstanding, he has the measurables of a late-round selection and so could struggle to stand up at the next level and will be viewed as a high-floor limited upside prospect. Currently, we see Smith as a third/fourth-round selection in the 2023 NFL draft who will start early in his NFL career.


SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS

• Has a nice well developed coverage technique - excels in press coverage playing as a nickel corner
• Excellent in run defense - takes efficient angles and rarely misses tackles
• Has been elite in coverage over the past years at Georgia - both years he's given up less than a 55 QB rating
• Versatile DB - he's equally happy defending the rin in the box, playing as a traditional free safety, or covering the slot as a nickel corner
• Has incredible football awareness a real student of the game - is to read and react quickly and stay balanced and patient in space.
• His ball skills are very good. Smith tracks the ball well downfield and has the hands and coordination to come away with interceptions even when Smith isn’t targeted often.
• Has the change-of-direction ability to mirror underneath but did solid work out of press and off coverage.
• Does a good job getting his head around in time when playing with his back to the line of scrimmage. Has the ability to cover quickness underneath.
• An instinctive center fielder who flies around the field, has the tools to make up for a relative lack of size

 

Nice.

 

All these picks from London?

Does anyone think NFL would take off in Europe?

EPL is king in England.

 

Know nothing about him really, but eli Hilton was not a big goy. just saying

 

LoL

 

Dawand Jones to the Browns

 

I too would like To'oTo'o at one thirty too

 

I wouldn't be against drafting him

 

Say that five times fast

 

Board looks like OLB to me. A few left I like. Moving Dotson for a 5th would be a nice way to add a S.

 

Well King Goodell is reported as trying to get 4 teams there. Will it work??? I cannot imagine the nightmare of trying to get FA players to play in a foreign country. The housing alone would be an issue for all the players and staff. the taxes. He wants it, but the total issues are pretty daunting.

 

Been a hot minute since I posted on here.

NFL is growing massively in the UK and Europe. Manage to sell out 90k wembley twice a year and 63k at Spurs stadium twice a year too.

For me personally Mondays are often a write off given the 'early' kick offs are 6pm.

Anyway back to the main reason for this thread, I'm absolutely loving this draft so far. Shows what can happen by being open for business trade wise

 

What, Hilton was kosher? Who knew!

 

LoL. Booooo

 

If he was realistic, he would be going for Canada and Mexico.
