2016 NFL draft thread

Devontae Booker for the Broncos, love that pick

One of the leading offensive guys in Pac-12 and has drawn comparison to Terrell Davis, I like the sound of that. McGovern is a good pick up as well.

Broncos have been killing this draft IMO. They'll probably go for Westerman up next, still need some more O-line guys. (**EDIT** cancel that, traded away their second 5th round pick)

Strange pick. Especially considering the performance of Carr, I hope Cook enjoys sitting on the bench for 4 years. Good to see the Raiders screw over a divisional rival though, KC would have taken him for sure.

I deadset just woke up and found that out... I thought we'd pick up a QB somewhere today but thought it would be Cardelle Jones...

We need a back up as Matt McGoin only has a year on his deal left.

McKenzie comes from the Ron Wolfe tree which subscribes to the theory that you develop your back up QB... So that its good for the cap and then they cam become trade bait later on...

I suspect they traded up for Cook because the Cowboys were about to get him... And it sounds like JDR knows the kid.

No doubt, I still was a bit surprised jumping up 14 spots for a middling QB. Especially when you consider the likes of Prescott and Hogan still on the board at the time who were graded very similarly.

Could have filled that need with a UFA. With that said, I'm not familiar with the trade details they got, but jumping up that many would have been costly for a backup project.

Bye bye Ronnie Hillman. Booker is an awesome pickup...

Can't believe we managed to get him in the 4th.

Seahawks drafted CJ Prosise & Alex Collins to add to Rawls going to continue being a very strong running game with those picks.

 

[Eddie Lab]

DT in the first, ok I can kinda see that. then three CB's(Bradberry, Worley and Sanchez) trading up for one followed up with whoever we will be 7th round pick(probably a DT). CB is clearly a need after the Norman thing but I'm not sure back to back to back was required.

I'll be very honest I don't like this draft. I can kinda see why we didn't draft any thing for the offense when we had the #1 offense and we get KB back. while the defense has lost tillman, Norman and Bene has health issues.

guess it's just a little boring

I love the Cowboys selection of college basketballe Rico Gathers. The guy is a huge and is a all-American power forward from Baylor

 

[Dogs Of War]

Billings finally goes in round 4 to the Bengals

The bengals boards we're clambering to get him since round 2. It's a puck that made a lot happy especially in the 4th round.

 

[Dogs Of War]

What's people's thoughts on Billings? Potential starter?

Not this year. But as he develops behind peko I have no doubt he will only get better.

 

[abpanther]

I love Driskel to the 49ers, one of my favourite late round QB prospects

 

[Shorty]

I was worried Cowboys would get Cook so I'd be happy with Dak Prescott, I do like him.
Edit oh they did take him!

rams fans are ecstatic with the rams draft. fisher and snead once again employed a scorched earth policy going all in on the passing game.


PICK PLAYER POS HT WT COLLEGE GRADE WATCH

Round 1, Pick 1 (1) (From Titans) Jared Goff QB 6'4" 215 California 6.5

Pick Analysis: "He fits what they do. He can play on Day 1. The Rams have a strong running game and stout defense. That minimizes what he has to think about. Goff has a very quick release and gets the ball out of his hands quickly. He has innate pocket awareness, which is so critical at the NFL level." -- Mike Mayock

Round 4, Pick 12 (110) Tyler Higbee TE 6'6" 249 Western Kentucky 5.6

Pick Analysis: The Rams apparently felt comfortable enough with Higbee's recent off-field issues and history of injuries to select one of the more dynamic receiving TEs early Day 3. The former WR and preseason Biletnikoff watchlister gives their new franchise QB a field-stretcher at TE after losing Jared Cook in free agency. -Mark Dulgerian

Round 4, Pick 19 (117) (From Bears through Bills) Pharoh Cooper WR 5'11" 203 South Carolina 5.6

Pick Analysis: The Rams don't have a ton of picks, but it's clear they want to use them to improve an offense that finished last in total yards last season. Cooper is a QB-friendly catch and run specialist with outstanding toughness with the ball in his hands. He has a chance to see early time as their No.3 WR option with upside. --Mark Dulgerian

Round 6, Pick 2 (177) (From Titans) Temarrick Hemingway TE 6'5" 244 South Carolina St. 5.0

Pick Analysis: Hemingway helped himself by testing well at the Combine, but he was very productive at the FCS level in the passing game. He's a receiver first and can provide some match-up problems. Given the questions surrounding their earlier TE pick, this is an insurance selection at worst. --Mark Dulgerian

Round 6, Pick 15 (190) Josh Forrest ILB 6'3" 249 Kentucky 5.2

Pick Analysis: The former WR is rangy with the athleticism and length the Rams could test off the edge. He's a solid late round addition to a team that needs depth at this position. --Mark Dulgerian

Round 6, Pick 31 (206) (From Bears through Panthers) Mike Thomas WR 6'1" 200 Southern Miss 5.2

The Cooper pick is a great one for the Rams. Really like that.

Pretty happy with the eagles picks, i mean it all comes down to Wentz but i really like the guard and ILB they took late

Stoked with the Dallas draft, nothing on defence that will help them right away, and blew their first rounder on a RB

Have to agree with your comments. But they have two players I am really keen on and could develop into something good. They being Maliek Collins DT and Charles Tapper DE.

 

[Shorty]

Zeke doesn't look like a bust at least, way too early and reaching with him but it is what it is, not even surprised anymore with Jerry.
We did ok in the rest of the draft anyway and I'm glad they're moving on from Hardy.

Browns and Titans did well, though the Titans with that trade up was weird.

 

[18to87]

Great to see that Jarryd Hayne is now the second best Aussie on the 49ers behind Blake Muir ;-) I think he is a good chance to make the squad or practice squad. The style of offense Baylor run and also not being able to run the 40 on his pro day probably turned some teams off. He can make up for that in camp and should be comfortable in a Kelly style offense.

 

[zombie jesus]

Pretty happy with the Steelers draft overall, no silly luxury picks in there like a Dri Archer or Landry Jones, every player fills a need, all 7 guys could legitimately make the 53 if they perform at camp.

Still don't get the Billings snub but really happy with Hargrave in the 3rd, fills the same need nicely.

Eagles draft was very meh for mine.

It was always going to be losing all those picks for Wentz & the Bradford deal.

Be interesting to see how the RB rotation works this coming season
