Re: Day 2:
 

I don't know why Payton kept passing up on all that talent LSU puts out.

Re: Day 2:
 

I could give a crap where they're from. I only care where they're goin'.

Re: Day 2:
 

Just about every expert claimed this draft was 3 or 4 rounds deep with good quality pass rush prospects.
I'm not gonna panic just because we didn't draft in in the 1st round.

We got the #1 CB, and the #1 OT. Thats a good day.

Re: Day 2:
 

Urban Meyer isn't the only coach or program who puts out players. There are other top programs who put out just as many, and more, and with higher rates of pro success than Ohio State. I don't have hate for their players. Heck, there have been players I've wanted from there.

It just gets weird when better prospects are often passed on to feed the seeming infatuation of getting OSU players. I like Lattimore a lot. But Hassan Reddick would have been dymamite, and even Reuben Foster, despite my concerns of future failed drug tests (I know it isn't confirmed that his diluted sample was intentional, but I doubt it wasn't).

It is what it is, though. At least they got a good player.

Re: Day 2:
 

What about this guy with one of our picks today:

Derek Rivers, DE/OLB, Youngstown State
Height: 6-4. Weight: 248. Arm: 32.75.
40 Time: 4.61.
Projected Round (2017): 2-4.
4/26/17: Rivers ran fast at the combine and showed some athleticism. As a senior, he totaled 58 tackles with 19.5 tackles for a loss, 14 sacks, one forced fumble and one pass batted. Rivers showed his pass-rush skills with eight sacks as a junior and 13 as a sophomore. He could end up being a second-day pick.

Re: Day 2:
 

Rivers is very intriguing. Maybe the dark horse of all defenders in this draft, because his stats are so impressive, and his competition was so... Not. It's hard to know what to expect from him, but he's definitely worth a shot at some point in day two, if a guy like Tarell Basham isn't there anymore.

Re: Day 2:
 

I don't think that was the case with Lattimore. He was projected as high as 5th overall to the Titans. Many had him rated as one of the top 5 players in this entire draft class. Most people didn't even expect him to fall to us. I think another gift fell to us just like Sheldon Rankins, who didn't have injury issues, but ended up injured anyway.

Re: Day 2:
 

Urban will soon surpass Les in his recruiting and of and having more pro ready players in the draft. LSU will soon be in second place in having the most former players in the NFL. As far as the Saints passing up better prospects in order to draft tOSU players? (Reddick vs Lattimore?) That's just spurious.

Waste of time is long with you...

Re: Day 2:
 

I'm well aware of how highly projected Lattimore was, and I have said at every mention that I like him. I just think there were dynamic play makers, up front, who would seem to be a higher priority. Best player available is always the cop out response, I know, but if we're honest with ourselves we should have learned by now that the back end of your defense can only do so much if they have to cover all day, or if we are getting gashed in the run game.

We have some really good D-linemen, but we lack enough true pass rushers, and we really are hurting for depth up front.

All that said, again, I like Lattimore and think he'll be very good.
