Pace just when I thought you couldn't be any dumber, you totally redeem yourself. Love getting 2 picks back for that move.

Let's give it some time, even without White playing last year, we still had Goldman, Langford, and Amos contribute a lot, and Grasu still has a shot. That could potentially be 5 starters from one draft class, which is well above the norm. I think the LB corps is done, and we now move on to address other positions. With Floyd in hand, we now have some flexibility to move Houston or Young. In regards to Tunsil, I thought that is who we were moving up to take, and was disappointed at first with the pick. However, it is not the end of the world, we have to wait and see how the team looks in July. I believe more moves are on the horizon.

Down to Jones, Robinson, and Reed.

I didn't like it at first, but Floyd may be one of the top 3 athletes in the draft. Even though we have decent veterans at the position, I don't see Houston or Young as long term solutions. You may even see one or both of them moved by the start of the season. Looking at some mocks, some had TB taking Floyd at 9, Giants at 10, and us at 11, so moving to 9 makes more sense assuming it was going to be the Giants pick. Then watching them scramble and reach for a pick sort of validated that.

Players with a 5.8 Grade or higher on NFL.com: QB: Cook RB: Henry, Howard WR: Shepard, Boyd, Peake, Thomas TE: Henry OL: Whitehair, Clark, Coleman, Westerman, Spriggs DL: Robinson, Dodd, Jones, Reed, Bullard, Ridgeway, Ogbah, Billings, Spence, Johnson, Henry, Correa LB: Jack, Ragland, Cravens, Fackrell CB: Alexander There are 30 players with a 5.8 or higher, and 12 of them are DL. So it looks like we could move down a few spots and still get a DL and maybe pickup a mid-round pick. Surprisingly, the scores are pretty accurate as no player was selected in the first round with a score lower than 5.8.

I would be good with DL, OL, or DB (CB or S).

How many LB's are we going to carry?

I didn't mind the pick, but losing a 4th to move up essentially past one team is a head scratcher. That means Floyd was rated that much higher than anyone else on their board which is surprising.

Can someone tell me how Floyd is any different than McClellin (when McClellin was going out of the draft)? Floyd is taller and lighter, ran similar 40's. Floyd's NFL comparison is Eli Harold?

For Tunsil, a video surfaced of him smoking pot thru a gas mask.

Paxton Lynch drawing some attention, possibly sneaking into the top 10? That would be awesome for us if 3x QB's go in the top 10.

Is Nkemdiche any different than Gregory last year? Gregory was a 1st round talent, even in some mock draft's top 10 for a bit, then fell all the way to pick #60 in the 2nd round. What did Dallas get out of him? 7 tackles last year and a 4-game ban to start 2016. I just don't see Pace taking any high risk guys like this or injury risks.

Henry is built like a brick shithouse. He makes Eddie Lacy look like an 8th grader:

This might sound silly, but just draft the best RB available. I don't think you need to compliment a player that is not on the field at the same time as the other. If we are going to go RBC, then you don't necessarily need someone different than Langford, just someone to spell him. I would want the back that can do anything, otherwise, if you get one that can't catch a cold, then it is easier for defenses to play the run when they are in.

Bring in as a backup?

Fixed, thanks was just looking at TNF and MNF. Yeah, very favorable, and based on some projections, either 2nd or 3rd easiest based on SoS.

- Week 9 Bye (one of the best weeks to have a bye), Week 6 last year - Only 1 set of back to back away games (had 3 sets last year) - 4 Prime-time games (Wk2 vs PHI, Wk3 at DAL, Wk7 at GB, Wk8 vs MIN) - THU game against GB followed by MON against MIN going into Bye - SF and WAS play us in December at home

All Visits Draft (based on team visits on WF): 1. Emmanuel Ogbah, DE/3-4DE, Oklahoma State (PRI) 2. Germain Ifedi, OT, Texas A&M (PRI) 3. Austin Hooper, TE, Stanford (PRI) 4. Jihad Ward, DT, Illinois (SR) 4. Antonio Morrison, ILB/OLB, Florida (SR) 5. Devon Cajuste, WR, Stanford (EW) 6. Dan Vitale, FB, Northwestern (SR) 6. Elijah Shumate, S, Notre Dame (EW, COM) 7. Roy Robertson-Harris, DE, Texas-El Paso (WOR) Toughest part was we only visited with one CB, Jackson, and I don't think we take him at 11 and think he will be gone by 41.

I don't know if teams didn't have Rodgers on the board, but they felt the player they drafted was rated higher than him. Cleveland had Dilfer at QB and drafted Braylon Edwards, the Bears had Grossman and drafted Benson, TB had Griese and drafted Williams. Baltimore had Anthony Wright at QB and drafted Clayton. To me the craziest part of the draft was that Dallas and Minnesota both had 2x picks prior to GB's, and they passed on Rodgers twice!

That's not true for every team. Remember the picture from the Dallas draft room? http://miamiherald.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834...ed728264970b-pi Dallas slotted by round, and actually made their picks off who was the best value at their pick. There top 10 ranked players were gone and Dez was 11th and was drafted 24th, Sean Lee was ranked 14th and their 2nd rounder.

Hell in the 3rd, you could take Darron Lee or even Connor Cook.

Does record even matter in the preseason? I actually like that we play some good teams, it seems like you can get a better idea on your strengths and weaknesses when you play better competition. When you play inferior teams, they may not exploit potential weaknesses as much.

Here is what PFF looked like last year in their final mock: 1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State 2. Tennessee Titans – Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon 3. Jacksonville Jaguars – Vic Beasley, Edge, Clemson (Fowler, OLB) 4. Oakland Raiders – Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama 5. Washington Redskins – Dante Fowler JR, Edge, Florida (Scherff, OG) 6. New York Jets – Randy Gregory, Edge, Nebraska (Williams, DE) 7. Chicago Bears – Leonard Williams, Defensive Interior, USC (White, WR) 8. Atlanta Falcons – Shane Ray, Edge, Missouri (Beasley, OLB) 9. New York Giants – La’el Collins, OT, LSU (Flowers, OG) 10. St. Louis Rams – DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville (Gurley, RB) 11. Minnesota Vikings – Kevin White, WR, West Virginia (Waynes, CB) 12. Cleveland Browns – Danny Shelton, Defensive Interior, Washington 13. New Orleans Saints – Nelson Agholor, WR, USC (Peat, OT) 14. Miami Dolphins – Jaelen Strong, WR, Arizona State (Parker, WR) 15. San Francisco 49ers – Henry Anderson, Defensive Interior, Stanford (Armstead, DT) 16. Houston Texans – Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia (Johnson, CB) 17. San Diego Chargers – Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin 18. Kansas City Chiefs – Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford (Peters, CB) 19. Cleveland Browns (from Buffalo Bills) – Devin Smith, WR, Ohio State (Erving, C) 20. Philadelphia Eagles – Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Oklahoma (Agholor, WR) 21. Cincinnati Bengals – Trey Flowers, Edge, Arkansas (Ogbuechi, OT) 22. Pittsburgh Steelers – Landon Collins, SS, Alabama (Dupree, OLB) 23. Detroit Lions – Grady Jarrett, Defensive Interior, Clemson (Tomlinson, OG) 24. Arizona Cardinals – Hau’oli Kikaha, Edge, Washington (Humphries, OT) 25. Carolina Panthers – Ereck Flowers, OT, Miami (Thompson, OLB) 26. Baltimore Ravens – Breshad Perriman, WR, UCF 27. Dallas Cowboys – Jalen Collins, CB, LSU (Jones, CB) 28. Denver Broncos – Brandon Scherff, G, Iowa (Ray, DE) 29. Indianapolis Colts – Marcus Peters, CB, Washington (Dorsett, WR) 30. Green Bay Packers – Jordan Phillips, Defensive Interior, Oklahoma (Randall, FS) 31. New Orleans Saints (from Seattle Seahawks) – Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota (Anthony. ILB) 32. New England Patriots – Troy Hill, CB, Oregon (Brown, DT) They got 6 correct picks, 7 correct positions, and 19 wrong picks and positions.

It is hard to look back on what would've been with the new players since it will be a different team next year (no Forte/Bennett, etc) Looking ahead, I see 10 winnable games, and the only really challenging games outside of GB/MIN are Washington and Houston. So if the toughest games are GB and MIN, I like our chances. Home: Detroit 7-9 (W) Green Bay 10-6 Minnesota 11-5 Philadelphia 7-9 (W) Washington 9-7 Jacksonville 5-11 (W) Tennessee 3-13 (W) San Francisco 5-11 (W) Away: Detroit 7-9 (W) Green Bay 10-6 Minnesota 11-5 Dallas 4-12 (W) NY Giants 6-10 (W) Houston 9-7 Indianapolis 8-8 (W) Tampa Bay 6-10 (W)
