2017 NFL Draft: Round 1 discussion

[mikemac2001]

I feel like we drafted Leodis McKelvin again.

@JaySkurski

Tre'Davious White was valedictorian of Green Oaks High School and has earned his degree from LSU in sports administration. #Bills

[BILLiever55]

But when I player slides like that it's a lot of teams seeing the same thing. So it makes me feel better about it

Like Blount, Collins, and Burfict?

 

Maybe I'm wrong but my gut is telling me he was the right pick

[26CornerBlitz]

49ers really rebuilding their D with Thomas and Foster.

[Thrivefourfive]

Goodell has a terrible habit of mispronouncing the easiest of names. If he can do it correctly, get someone who can. What a shame for the players and families, and an embarrassment for the NFL. Reuben Froster??? Really???

@JaySkurski

Yet he can barely speak English

[CanadianFan]

So what's wrong with Foster again? why did he drop so much

so just like Leo, point period blank! Beat that azzzz!

has an owie on his shoulder

come on.. shoulder.. he can still move and tackle.

[KOKBILLS]

So...I can't be the only one that that has looked up the 2018 QB class already tonight right?

 

I mean...Not that I did not already know..Just wanted to be reminded...

[YoloinOhio]

So what's wrong with Foster again? why did he drop so much

injury, drug problem at Bama, diluted sample at combine, learning issues, self-control problem at combine

[RaoulDuke79]

Maybe Dareus can mentor him?

[NoSaint]

Well, ummm, the shoulder is important in tackling.

 

Plus the drug issue. And the terrible friends.

 

That said he fell to a good value spot

[YoloinOhio]

Maybe Dareus can mentor him?

they could scribble scrabble in their play books together with crayon and get high.

[145B4IDIE]

dev/null had it best, he should gay marry jabril peppers to be taco peppers

 

but i say he should gay marry le'veon bell and be taco bell.

I'm imagining a prolonged nap after a microwaved taco in your future.

[mattt9998]

I feel like we drafted Leodis McKelvin again.

So in a few years we let him go, and grab a Gillmore like CB in the1st.

Glad we did not draft that nut bag

I don't know...as a coach? That's a guy that fits what I want: attitude and hustle. I can do the rest. In fact it's my job to do the rest. When it's hot and it sucks, because I've made sure it's hot and it sucks, all I have to say is: Grandma.

 

Either he is full of it, or, he bears down, and I get to know that within 4 days of camp. If it's the latter, I have a guy who will run through walls for the team, and that is highly contagious. I've seen it. If it's the former, he's done, and we both know why. While I agree that's a hell of a risk to take? Only somebody who's led something important would understand that: a guy who's willing to drop an F bomb in the draft is the safest bet there is. Tells me it's quite possible he doesn't see, and therefore, doesn't care, about the glory. He lives for the kill. I know I can lead guys/girls like that into and out of: anything, because I have.

 

When everything sucks, a leader in a stress environment needs a SSGT or 2. Somebody who is willing to put the project/operation's needs ahead of their own. They are the ones that lead by example.

 

Why? Because leading by example is not the leader's job. The leader, or coach, by definition has a different job. They drop the F bombs...we act like we disapprove. But, yeah, keep telling yourselves that this isn't about winning/combat/huge $ on the line.

 

People that say $/winning isn't everything, never had any real $/wins, and tell themselves their kids are their real wins.

[Clyde Smith]

While everyone comparing him to Leodis, he reminds me more of Winfield

Well said, some people are scared of black guys with dreads and a loud mouth. I would draft 20 of them guys.

[Comebackkid]

Leodis had good talent...he just made really bad decisions at the worst time. everyone so far is saying this kid can be a dependable 10 year starter. that to a new coaching staff is probably more important than a flash in the pan.

[OCinBuffalo]

My favorite tenet of the weak:

 

"Leaders are made, not born".

 

They say that because they want you to think that them being in charge is because they've earned it/they have degrees/daddy says so...but it's all BS.

 

A real leader never concerns themselves with how they got where they are, and you and everybody else knows from day 1 who the leader is. Unfortunately for us, we knew, since pre-K, we'd be right where we are today. Why? Because when Susie doesn't like what Kimmy does, even though you are a boy, they come to you and expect you to solve their problem...over who gets the starry, nap-time rug. 13 years later you end up going to the prom with 3 girls...because: diplomacy.

 

I am literally watching, from way afar, my Godson go through this as a 3 year old. 20 tykes in the room, and everybody, parent and child, is watching him to see what he does/how he handles whatever the F is going on. There are 5 year-olds who defer to him.

 

I would feel bad for him, but I don't. I can't. This is the burden of leadership. Any real leader knows they've been one for as long as they can remember.

 

Is that now-ATL guy a leader? Probably not. I don't care. I'd love to lead him, because I know that when I said "go" he'd either be the first one over the wall, or, the first guy I dumped.

I heard of the sample but not drugs. Drug is a problem that can't be rid of. self-control and football don't mix. Once he has a few more concussions he will be out of control. No one will have mastery over him including himself. He's going to need a lot of help and a very good locker room.

Yup; total idiot. Very happy the Bills didn't take him.

my opinion, it Rex was still here he would have ignored the problems and taken Foster. His combine tantrum shows he might have a problem with penalties on the field. As far as the drugs, it was written in MMQB this week that teams were aware he had drug issues in college. The pee test shows those are either still there or he's just stupid. The last thing the Bills need is more injured players or more drug issues who get lit up with Personal fouls.

This a really good way of looking at it.

[BillsCelticsAngelsBama]

I'm shocked! What don't we know about these OSU guys!?

Ask Deshaun Watson. 31-0

[CNY315]

So Trubisky doesn't know what a hard count is

@ChrisBiderman

A month ago, the debate was between Reuben Foster and Solomon Thomas. The 49ers came away with both.

[JinxedBill1]

This kid is really good.

 

Go watch the LSU and Florida tape. Zone integrity, PBU's and ball skills. Good stuff

Go watch the Auburn tape. Same thing

Go watch the Alabama tape, same thing.

 

Kid will be a starter weeek 1. And we got a first and an extra third this year. If you ask me we are drafting smarter this year. We needed a cb and didn't have the money for Gilmore. Now we have a starter for 5 more years who has shown consistent production for 4 years in college.

 

Good job so far. Need a RT imo next with WR and LB's

[likei've]

Definitely learned to stay off these boards during the draft. Too many idiots giving away the picks.

 

Waited all night to see the Bills pick and a bozo ruins it during the commercials. He wasn't the only one.

 

Why? What satisfaction did they get? They have that little going on in their lives they need that satisfaction to feel important?

@mlombardiNFL

One of the reasons we saw Foster and his Dr. on a video before the draft, to try and dispell the concerns. The re-check was not good.

[muppy]

i caused 17 years with no playoffs?

 

for what it's worth, i didn't realize that. truly,from the deepest portions of my heart...i am sorry

 

 

so it was YOU that caused the playoff drought eh Teef......can I take out 17 years of no playoffs frustration on you then...... lol..

excellent post I concur

[Blokestradamus]

Best pick of the 1st for me, now that I've thought about it, is Taco Charlton to Dallas. Taco needs some coaching up and Rod Marinelli is one of the very best in the business.

 

If Taco doesn't become a perennial 8-10 sack guy now, it's on him.

lol. Lack of experience.

 

I bet there is an awful lot that guy doesn't know due to his lack of experience. NFL defenses will eat him up if he has to start day1. Needs to sit and learn and practice for at least a year.

[Blokestradamus]

Reuben Foster, king of my heart - https://twitter.com/EricElizondo8/status/858068236151144448

If Rex were here we would have taken Foster at 10
