***OFFICIAL 2018 DRAFT DISCUSSION THREAD***

[Joelist]

Decently good draft so far. Yes I wanted an OT but it was not to be, and really I can't seriously argue with the guys they took. Price, Bates, Jefferson and Hubbard all either are starters or could easily crack the starting lineup. Watson slides in immediately as the third RB. The CB mania is to me competition players - I expect our CB group will be WJIII, Dennard and Dre.

Yeah, just like taller slot receivers did to Adam Jones.

5'10" is the average height for CB's Yang. He can add some weight. The dude is a Playmaker he doesn't lead all players
in return TD's for no reason. Jerry Rice sure was no schlub and he did his college damage against terrible competition.

This is the time of the draft to try and find that diamond in the rough. Phillips could be one, as could Brown.

Sign Kaep. Not joking.

No way. We don’t need his bs sideshow.

Dre can get out of town and I won't think twice about it.

And Luke Falk is gone to the Titans, probably sniped him from the Patriots this round. Wonder if the Bengals have a plan in round 7 or they are comfortable with their back up QBs.

I think they really like Driskell

Agreed and the FO would agree.

Didn't sign Reid, we definately won't bring in Kaep.

Well if Andy gets hurt I guess we will find out.  Let's hope that doesn't happen.

I like Driskel.

Reid’s brother probably cost him to be off our board with his blatant leak to pft.

I like the kid out of Memphis Riley Ferguson.

I like Drew Lock in next years draft (provided he doesn't skyrocket up the draft board)

Mike M. said QB from Houston not a lot of tape, but throws as well as Darnold

I see. The pats are checking off the must draft a white WR. Box

So a bit off topic, but do you think Shaquem Griffin and maybe his brother will be on the cover of next year's Madden game?

We were fine with Pacman, the ultimate sideshow.

He was a starter who played at a high level. Once he stopped doing that he was let go.

Besides kneeling is the gayest sideshow.

Possibly. When is the cover athlete announced?
