2019 NFL Draft thread

Archie Manning has been running this team for a decade now.

With Davlin Thomlinson and now Dexter Lawrence we have two nose tackles - great.

Thomlinson can play end as well, but they need an outside pass rushed still and a corner, and more depth on defense.
 
How has no one mocked the Raiders on here? Hilarious pick. I also think it's kinda dumb that the Cardinals took Murray. Raiders wanted him so bad and are a train wreck. They would have given up an absurd amount of picks for him.

Can anyone tell me why Dwayne Haskins is dropping? This legitimately is mind blowing

My question is... how is Mike Golic Jr employed in sports media. His father is essentially brain dead and now he gets paid to eat fruit cups on TV in a too tight t-shirt. What a country.

Probably because many of us are Giants fans and the Giants deserved to be mocked more than either of those teams. The Raiders passed on Oliver or Allen and drafted a D from Clemson who was a reach. Hmmmm....the Giants passed on Oliver and Allen and selected probably the 5 or 6 best QB in the draft at #6. The Raiders second pick I like. They needed a RB.

I dunno, man. I’d never pick a RB in the first round

Watching Chris Mortensen is really uncomfortable. Feel for the guy, but it’s really not fair to put him on TV. He’s in over his head and it’s really sad
 
Something is off about Sweat. He checks every box at one of the league's most important position and yet all these teams continue to pass.

I don't want to fall into the trap of assuming that a team had a bad draft just because they appeared to reach for a player, but Gettleman seems fit for the bozo role in a way that makes tonight feel more like a confirmation of things we already knew.

Yup 100%! So the NYG needed an edge rusher and draft another NG in Lawrence....as for Jones...let’s just say that after playing home US Marine and FDNY FF Chris Slutman tomorrow
Morning I will head back to my house and start gathering all my NYG apparel to burn in my fire pit when the rain stops! Hopefully John Mara ventures out to Starbucks in Rye Brook this weekend and I get a chance to vent a bit.
 
The Dolphins are doing things the right way, the Giants should take note. They needed a qb but unlike the giants they didn’t stupidly reach for one when it was their pick. They have spent all offseason shedding albatross contracts and trading veterans for anything they could get. They know what a rebuild entails. The Giants don’t.

NYG won’t do anything different until either Tisch gives Mara an Ultimatum to buy his shares out or Mara sells...

What’s off may be the thickness of his heart muscle... teams may be concerned about the potential for a cardiac issue that came up during the Combine (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy). Teams are trying to figure out if it’s an longterm issue/concern or misdiagnosed @ Combine.

I think the Redskins are drafting real well too. They were able to get Haskins, the QB they wanted, without moving up, and then moved up late in 1st round to grab a solid edge rusher.

I think in addition to that he was dismissed from Michigan State after being suspended a few times. ESPN guys said he didn't pass psych evals for a few teams, so I'm sure it's a constellation of stuff
 
That feels like a lot to move up 7 slots but trust in Gettleman.

I think Sweat is too tall - too light - not enough bend in his pass rush.
 
Mike Francesca promised us tonight the Giants wouldn’t take Daniel Jones at 6. Like most of his prognostications since returning from retirement he was totally wrong. Here is the silver lining, he hates their first two picks and since he is mostly wrong these days- then that is good because now they have a chance to succeed.
 
I like the Baker pick as he was the best corner in the draft. Lawrence can rush the passer and will help along the line. The Jones pick won't be known until next year or the year after when Eli retires or leaves.

Still need a pass rusher, offensive tackle, wide receiver and a safety.

Been laughing at this non-stop the last 5 minutes
 
Feel bad for you Giants fans, you deserve better.

Daniel Jones at six, still can’t believe it.

On the bright side, I think Lawrence was an excellent pick.
 
The Raiders were (surprisingly) more astute with their picks than history and Gruden’s past moves would have predicted. I don’t think any of them will flop.
My sense is that one of the other QB’s (Locke or Grier) will outshine Jones. Among the things the Giants liked (and Cutcliff confirmed) about Jones was that he lacked an “outward swagger”. As a fan, I’m not enamored with phlegmatic QB’s.

Good news Giants fans. Jones is going to the HOF now.

Not a pats fan, but I certainly respect their accomplishments. The intrigue for me with the Pats is which one of these second tier QBs do they take a flyer on.

Perhaps Rypien from Boise St? Jones from Duke?? Grier from WV or perhaps Finley from NC State.

Lol, Gettelman got taken by Belichek. Bill said he liked Jones so G-man snapped him up.

He loves those big checks. You’d do it too for that much money.

Just crazy thinking they could have really started a rebuild while also losing enough games to have a shot at solid qbs in next two year. Instead they embark on a “three year plan” with Jones as gettelman said.

They could have Lawrence and Tomlinson clogging up the middle, with Allen as an edge rusher. Instead they have Lawrence, no edge rusher so defense will be horrendous.

Lawrence would be an excellent pick if the NYG needed a nose guard. But they already have Dalvin Tomlinson who seems to be getting loved to DE. They needed an edge rusher to play the OLB spot in Boettcher’s 3-4...they had one for the taking in Allen. Nothing will change with the NYG until the Mara family sells their part of the team. They will continue to do things “the NYG way” and hire inept GM after inept GM.
