Dr. Who

A number of posters who I think have expertise on oline had expressed concerns on scheme fit before the draft. Some of that was directed at whether Torrence was worth #27 overall. Almost everyone acknowledges he is a good player. Charlie Campbell had mentioned that several teams had concerns about a sloppy or bad body with Torrence. I'm not an expert, so I gave some credence to that talk. @MAJBobby upthread? somewhere, in any event, articulated a rationale for the selection that seems plausible. In any event, I'm happy with the pick.

The more I have thought about this pick and read various reactions, the more I like it. However, I think you have to allow that the pick reminded folks of the Bernard selection last year. Bernard may yet work out, but his first year was uninspiring and folks saw the pick as doubling down on a prior mistake. And there were good players at other positions that seemed worth taking. I liked Ika, the massive Baylor DT, for instance.

It's an excellent seventh round pick.

Hopkins. Mostly joking.

Torrence and Broeker adding some snarl to the IOL. We need it.

I know. It's just the connection to Hull that is sentimentally appealing.

That's a nice pick, actually.

I missed the allusion. Dammit, Ravens just took Vorhees . . .

Well, I don't know whose going to draft a DB that played for an investment company.

LOL, another trade out.

215

I didn't ask for or comment on your opinions, just the general principle.

I would definitely do it.

That's a little too much recency bias.

Then again, you are a Stooge.

He's already been told about five times.

It is pretty damn eclectic.

Chad Hall is now coaching for the Jaguars.

Two more picks in the sixth as of now.

Big Wr. We visited him predraft, were said to have interest.

Bears just took him.

So for sure never enjoy a honeymoon phase. Let's just cut to the disillusionment. What a way to live.

You're preaching to the choir here.

True, human nature is annoying. And folks are defensive about players they like.

Character issues. @GunnerBill thinks he's going to bust big time. I would take Duncan. Antonio Johnson wouldn't shock me. This regime covets and knows dbs.
