2023 NFL Draft Gameday Thread

[QtR Nevermore]

As I suspected, starting to get the “who and why” picks at the end of round 3. Draft is starting to drop off considerably so expect a lot more of those types of picks

It seems that way but historically there's not much drop off between the number of starters/contributors between the 3rd and the first half of the 4th. Maybe it's coming slightly earlier this year?

Really wish we had more picks this year, but I'm still excited for tomorrow

Mostly just illustrating that it’s a pretty weak class overall and the number of guys I had ranked in day 2 that are still available is not many. So when you start seeing random names pop up in this range, it’s typically a sign that everyone at this stage blends together.

Interesting. Don't like Ringo at all then

I’ve got only 8 guys left I had a clear day 2 grade on:

Kelee Ringo
Clark Phillips
Cory Trice
Adatomiwa Adebawore
Chandler Zavala
Dawand Jones
Tyler Scott
Isaiah McGuire

A few more guys in my 3/4 bucket but not many there either

Even the Eagles passed and he's a Georgia player. I'd take a flier on him if he's there late... at that point why not.

Right but there's at least something the entire NFL sees as wrong.

Ok going into tomorrow morning my 3 guys I covet are

Darius Rush / Jakorian Bennett / Ringo
Adebawore / McGuire
Zavala / Dawand

Rumors out there are that teams think he might be a S in the NFL. Saw one quote saying that he struggles with his back to the ball (which is certainly evident in the tape) and might be best suited to playing S with things in front of him more often.

But Banks has that same issue

 

[JO_75]

Imagine waiting to get that call from a team only for your phone to say it's likely a scam... and you DON'T answer your phone.

 

[Simba]

But Banks has that same issue

I think Banks is far superior at this stage in almost every way

I agree but I'm just saying he's also not great with his back to the ball

His hips are a lot cleaner to make that transition in the league. For as athletic as Ringo is, there’s definitely some concern with how he bends. Banks answered some of those questions.

Still goes back to the projection aspect on Ringo for me. If I was grading the tape only, he’s a late rounder. He got the day 2 from me because I thought he was projectable based on some of the traits, but it’s seeming like teams don’t believe that.

 

[Davesta]

Ok but JAD is ass trash and not gonna get better. Pepe and Stephens probably can get better

I don't have any faith in Stephens but I'm willing to keep an open mind on Pepe - but not as a starter on the outside

Im done with Stephens. I don’t think he’s a corner

He does same thing queen does.. just blitz

 

[All_black_everything]

I’m not sure what a lot of you guys see in Ringo. I have not seen it at all with him. I would have been pissed about that pick

As for Simpson, I love the pick. Easily BPA. I thought he was easily a 2nd rounder, maybe had a chance to sneak into round 1. Queen will be on this team this year and he walks next season for a comp pick and we have his replacement ready to go.
