2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

I think drafting 2 TE might be a simple way of boosting the run game and help out alot on shallow to mid routes. Maybe between 3-5th round. Might take a trade to get them!!

You don't draft for need, and draft talk before free agency is stoopid.

We drafted for need last year, it worked out well.

Drafting BPA is what lead to the scouting department getting cleaned out.

I guess you can say that drafting BPA never goes away... you still draft BPA, just at positions of need...lol

And you can always move up or down to address need taking the BPA at that spot...

Or improve a position by taking a younger, faster, stronger, player and trading a player for another draft pick...

That kinda thinking probably got the previous scouting team dismissed from the team...

Really wish you'd add your knowledge on potential Saints prospects to the discussion, alot of forum members would appreciate that input...

Good point JP. Although I don't think thats why the previous scouts got canned, I am sorry for pissing on the parade.

Cook as a number 1? I still need to see him used more as a WR than a toy. this year was a huge improvement over last year so i am waiting to see what year three brings.

[hagan714]

I have been waiting all year for draft talk lol But that is me. I spend all season long watching college way too many college games and talking with people outside of B&G about players so I can not help but get giddy at the end of the season.

I do not believe FA should influence the draft issue big boards one bit, that in a round about way is building a team based on needs. FA address needs at position with proven vets. But to let those moves influence your big board or the players you draft is using needs as a governing factor in your war room. any ways

Drafting BPA is the best approach IMO. If that means you move up or down to get a player that you targeted as the BPA that also fills a need then you are going about things the right way.

But if you are sitting there and a player falls into your lap as the BPA you have to take them. Cam Jordan is a great example.

I'm still in the D lineman mindset at #12 pick. These needs could completely change depending on FA.

Watch those run stuffers for Bama tonight. I'd say 4,5 or 6 could go in the first round. All we need is do is select the right player that best fits our needs/scheme on D.

Edit: No disrespect to the Clemson squad - (specifically Shaq Lawson) I'll keep a lazy eye on their guys as well.

At 12 I am hoping for impact more than anything. Whatever the position the player needs to step in by the second year and become a starter for many years. pro bowls means you struck gold bit a long term solid starter is what i am expecting. we all know about busts, that is why I ahte hype at this point of the draft.

so WR DE DT QB are all options in my book.
