Final thoughts on the draft

rezburna · 04-27-2017, 12:18 PM

I'm flipping the f*** out if we take Charles Harris at 11. He'll probably still be around at 32. Please don't do this Ireland, Loomis, and Payton.

Marshon Lattimore
Reuben Foster

Was that homeless guy the Browns ex-head coach?

He is a good player if you ask me. Has a good "get off" & hustle. The Saints FO could see him as the compliment to Jordan that we've missed over the years. I'm not sure what we ranked last season on 3rd down however I bet it wasn't very good so quite naturally Sean wants someone who can "disrupt the passer". Harris wouldn't be my favorite pick at #11, but it's hard to ignore the pass rushers and production Missou puts out at the NFL level.

I'm sure Jeff Ireland and co have done their homework.

That was a good choice. They just forgot to draft a decent OL for him...

Here's something...

Mayock has us trading 32 to the Cardinals? WTF and the Cardinals picking Mahomes. We'll do that pick. Why would we trade it. Cardinals have nothing we want do they? He said we'll get 45 and 3rd this year from the Cardinals for the pick. I think I'm OK with that.

I don't believe it's a smoke screen at all. Harris could be in play depending on who is off the board prior to pick 11.

I'm seeing him gone by 14 in some drafts so not really much of a reach. I'm just gonna have some faith in our new and improved FO this year. Until they do something stupid like pick a QB in the first round -or a "project" in the second...

Edge rusher @ 42 anyone? If Jordan Willis is still there by then, I could see us selecting him. Some scouts have compared him to Danielle Hunter.

Isn't Reddick a better pick if he's available? I've read that Harris struggles against the run.
