If Sweat can remain on the field then the Chiefs draft is really solid, especially considering the lack of a first round pick. Thomas is the top TE on my board and adding Meeks, Maddox and Crulkshank beefs up the bottom.

The Pats draft hits up almost all of the needs. Carter, Stewart and Moore make for solid additions to the style of defense NE runs. I'm not sure when you took over for the Pats, but did you consider quarterback at any point or were you content with filling out other holes and passing on it?

Another pair of really solid drafts.

 

BUMP
much appreciated...

 

I had totally forgot about the Draft Challenge you guys do. I don't want to step on any toes here so I may have to reconsider doing this.

 

He essentially took over in the 2nd round when he gave his 2-man suggestion list. We picked Carter over Oliver since we almost autoed him earlier.

 

It's something completely different. Please proceed.

 

My input was solicited and then rejected on the Carter pick, from Hurst on was all me. I considered QB, especially on the last three picks...wasn't much to be done when the top 6 were all off the board before I had a chance to make a pick lol.

 

As far as I'm concerned the more info the better. I'd love to have both.

 

Love the trio of Carter / Hurst / Stewart in that Pats draft. It's terrifying to think New England will be able to add five instant contributors like that.

Can't say I know enough about the Chiefs roster and needs. It's a great collection of prospects if you can be patient and develop them for 2019.

 

We were still hoping SPress would come on then. We asked for some suggestions, he gave 2 and we picked the one we had set to auto earlier before going another direction. From the Hurst pick on we just gave him full control. He never traded but he wasn't prohibited from then on. He seemed to do a solid job finding some good talent at key positions while working around positions he didn't personally draft. Moore was one guy I was considering but only passed on due to medical.

 

Yeah Lym, you need to do this. We're draftniks. The more draft stuff the better...Plus, I really like the idea of using the real NFL Draft as the baseline.

 

Blanding this late is very nice value.

 

If I'd had it from the start I'd've taken Jaire at 23 and Guice at 31, which would've negated the suggestion of Oliver over Carter at 43 (though I'd've considered Miller at that spot if still available, too...I took him there in RHSC), and then I'd probbaly have taken Gallup where I took Stewart and taken a QB where I took Ito.

H. Hurst and S. Moore are two guys I expect to be heavily on BB's radar.

 

The Texans draft is complete. Im really not tuned in to the Texans needs. Just tried to go BPA whenever I could...

3.4 Harrison Phillips, DT Stanford
3.16 Austin Corbett, OG Nevada
3.34 Durham Smythe, TE Notre Dame
4.3 Duke Dawson, CB Florida
6.3 Kevin Toliver II, DB LSU
6.37 Daurice Fountain, WR Northern Iowa
6.40 Trey Quinn, WR SMU
7.4 Leon Jacobs, LB Wisconsin

 

You missed Tim's Long Snapper.

 

Pats have had Ridley and Kirk in for visits this week, so I won't be shocked at all if you guys got it right and they go WR at 23, even as deep as they are there.

 

Honeslty, today is a first I even knew you had Oliver over Carter as an actual preference order. I took at as 2 suggestions in no particular order.

Had Oliver gone to the Pats it would have made my pick with Green Bay easier as I was stuck between him and Sutton. And having sworn Cincy was going to take James Daniels, I probably would have went Carter with the Chargers if Daniels was gone.

Those were honestly the two best suggestions IMHO considering who was already drafted. I was thinking of those 2 before you even sent the suggestions.

 

Yeah I'm happy with it...I just felt like they're both late 1st type players, and without having filled either spot in the 1st, the tie breaker was I think Oliver could help more immediately and as dicey as our LB corps is, I'm even less sold on the choice of Rowe or J. McCourty as our #2 CB.

I'd be pretty psyched with Carter and Stewart IRL, though.

 

Knowing the plan for Cole, I like this. Noteboom would struggle as a rookie, but you have planted the seeds for 2019-2020, and that's exactly what you'd want from mid-round OL picks. Pulling it off in a generally bad year for drafting linemen is a nice accomplishment.
