Official 2017 NFL Draft Thread

Mayock had TJ Watt going #22 to the Dolphins.

 

Yeah it actually didn't get spoiled for me. I was just talking in general but that's true about NFL Network and ESPN so yeah it would be pretty much impossible. I didn't realize those broadcasts were that far off. That's a pretty big discrepancy really. I did stop reading though right around the time of the pick and am glad I did because that meant I got to hear The Bus make it.

 

I bet this might have been his worst mock ever. He missed like crazy.

 

Most mocks had him in that late first/early 2nd area didn't they? That's where we picked. I don't really know what labelling him a "2nd rounder even means? He'd be good value at 33 but not at 30?

 

Antarctica isn't as cool as he thinks he is

 

Kinda what I have been thinking, the whole he is not a 1st rounder thing imo is stupid. We are picking 30th that is pretty close to the 2nd round and if Watt was our guy we wasn't going to last to the 2nd at #30. There are a lot of good players still left and I will stand by my statement that I wish we would have traded back. I know that is not the "steeler Way" however this draft is loaded and extra picks could really be key, again jmo.

 

The extra year on the rookie contract makes trading out of the first from our position less likely I think.

 

I have no problem giving that up if he is good we will sign him long term anyways, plus I would rather have 2 guys at 4 years than 1 guy at 5......

 

My goodness... I wonder who holds longer grudes then?


Rodger Starbauch or him?

 

Actually I think we started that after Jarvis burnt us.

 

Indeed we did.



All the more reason I stated it all started with Ryan.

 

What if you trade back and Watt is gone?

 

SI.com and Albert Breer were tipping some of the picks before they were announced.

 

Well with all the talent left there I would have been fine with it. Like I said this draft is loaded, both Kings, Awuzie, Obi, Lewis just at the CB & S position. I am only talking like 4 picks the most, look SF traded up, I know they traded in front of us but I am just giving an example. I like Watt but I like more players in this draft. Jmo

 

Don't get me wrong I loved the tribute as well but then hold up the draft. Look what happened things got bunched up and we get screwed not talking about our pick. Plus all the other site leaking the info.....

As for the 5th year and the cap I hear you but we are talking one player. I am curious I know we just picked up Shaziers option but how often does it happen? There are many ways around the cap and if I could get 2 starters for giving up one year I would do that all day and twice on sunday.....lol.

 

TY

 

Also twitter.

 

Thanks guys, I am not a twitter dude my kids tell me I would love it as much as I am into sports. I am afraid if I do get on twitter I may never get any work done...lol. This message board is hard for me to visit come the spring and summer as my work has me all over and I am in and out of my office so much.
