I'd be happy with either of those two in the first

+1 to DJ Reader, I'd really like Cravens in the 2nd too but that's not a middle round

Thanks for the info JW. This confirms my hope that we would stick to D in the first couple of rds

I REALLY REALLY like Rankins and Butler, would be stoked with either one

Thanks, I'm not really a Hackenberg guy either, but he was rated way higher than most of the other guys available at that pick. I really like the first three rounds in that draft though and I think Scooby Wright can wind up being a really solid player, DJ Reader is a real space-eater too

I'd be pretty happy with this draft 19: R1P19 DT SHELDON RANKINS LOUISVILLE 49: R2P18 OLB SU'A CRAVENS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 80: R3P17 WR BRAXTON MILLER OHIO STATE 117: R4P19 QB CHRISTIAN HACKENBERG PENN STATE 139: R4P41 OLB SCOOBY WRIGHT ARIZONA 156: R5P17 DT D.J. READER CLEMSON 192: R6P17 CB JUSTON BURRIS NC STATE 218: R6P43 WR DE'RUNNYA WILSON MISSISSIPPI STATE

Quite a definitive statement for someone who really has no idea what they're talking about. Well done with the confidence

No! Wait! Please don't go!

+1 I'd be very unhappy if we went Offense with either of our top 2 picks

Is there any reason this is so special it couldn't have been put in the Mock Draft THREAD?

If he returns to form he's a solid starter, don't know why people are writing him off as depth.

You need to read about how the cap works. Probably should have done it before you started a thread about cap room.

You'd have to be an upper echelon team with few glaring holes to draft him anywhere before the 4th round. That said, I could see one of the better teams in the league spending a 2nd or 3rd round pick on him because the don't NEED immediate starters and can afford to let him redshirt a year.

I think there are two things people are reacting to here: 1- the study does appear to choose an arbitrary set of years with little explanation for why that time period was chosen, it seems reasonable for that to invite criticism; and 2- it's natural to have a negative reaction when someone call you or something you care about bad. My 2 cents - it's pretty obvious we didn't draft well for a large chunk of those years. I believe the past 2 years have been a substantial improvement for us, especially in the later rounds, but really only time will tell. The 30 ranking does seem a bit harsh though when you consider the fact that we haven't consistently been picking in the top 3 or 4 every year and usually finish around 7-9/6-10 in that era. Pro Bowl rankings being apart of this metric are a bit worthless, the pro bowl is a joke and is slanted heavily towards larger market teams. I don't think we deserve to be ranked 30th, but even a homer like me admits anything above 25 is probably way too optimistic.

I love the chaos on this board right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmzuRXLzqKk

Really? We talkin bout missing practice?

This happens and I'll be like

The NFL would charge a subscription for a pre-release video of this MUST-SEE information if they could get away with it. They milk every single piece of information to the Nth degree

I'm still consistently amazed by posters who think we'd get rid of a guy who has played very well for us to take a blind swing on a rookie QB.

Well obviously that report is true. I mean just look at the in-depth journalism taking place on the front page of that website: "Hookers Boxing Naked for $80" and "How Many Sticks of Butter Could YOU Eat In Five Minutes?"

Thanks! If they're TRULY going BPA, I just didn't see a way around drafting those 2 in this draft. I kind of hope they took Nkemdiche off their board for character concerns though
