G.M.O. - 2018 NFL Draft

The Carolina Panthers select: WR - James Washington, Oklahoma State

 

Tennessee Titans on the clock

 

The Titans will field any last second offers or go ahead with our pick at 7:55 EST.

 

He's become one of my faves

 

He's another one of those love/hate prospects for a lot of people. His stock might be higher with draftniks than with GMs and scouts.

My personal thoughts - I think he is highly situation dependent but in an offense that features a strong physical presence on one side, Washington can excel in a slot/3rd role that features quick hits on the slant and opportunities to burn the seam and sidelines.

 

Yeah he was in my plans if I failed to get Landry. Browns were desperate for that type of player. I think Coleman was originally slotted to take that role and he just can't stay healthy.

 

Don't give up on Coleman. This may be a make or break year. He needs to do well to get that 5th year option.

 

With the 25th pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans select: Da'ron Payne, DE/DT, Alabama.

 

Torgo Time

 

It’s kinda funny. We talked about the draft magazines having larger discrepancies in draft grades over the last 4-5 years.
I feel like if we were all polled there would be larger discrepancies among us draftniks as well than there would have been about 5 years ago.

For the most part I think it’s a good thing. It is amusing me just now

 

At least I got sniped by an actual GM rather than an autopick. I thought about trading a late pick to move up, but I don't have a 5th rounder so I don't have many picks to spare.

Plan B...

 

Most people suddenly grew balls to not copy each other. Many rankings use each other as a baseline and they are essentially the same. This year among the media and draftniks it's the largest amount of discrepancies I have ever seen in general.

 

Agreed. For example, Washington is my WR13. Not saying he's good or bad, that's just where I have him.

 

SO much good in both of these^^.

 

I noticed that too. Seemed to be more of a unique approach this year that varies from site to site.

All that did was basically confuse me even more, lol.

 

Falcons select
Rashaan Evans, LB, Alabama

 

I feel you in the no picks to spare department. See you boys when the 5th round rolls around.

 

That's the same spot I have him in. He started out inside the top 8 and has slowly worked his way down the board.

When I'm working to make a selection for another owner I never use my personal rankings. I always go third party and usually try to find someone they have been tied to in some manner that fits with a team need.

 

Because if they don't show, F them if it hurts your own board. 3rd party is more than enough. When I auto I actually go and do some research and then go off fanbase/expert recommendations or a 3rd party board.

 

Solid pick. I was debating between him, Payne, and one other guy before ultimately deciding on Payne.
