2018 NFL Draft

[bleedspeed]

Thank you all for the great combine feedback.

The draft seems deep at OL. Also seems the DT spot is not as weak as originally thought to be after the combine. LB position seems to be lacking. If we get Cousins I think we need to consider a LB early (before 4th round) to prepare for the chance of losing Barr next year.

Sorry Bleed I am on vacation out of the country and barely keeping up with anything even the Wolves. Basically all I know about the combine is Barkley tore it up.

Personally I don't think Bar is going anywhere.

I thought I read somewhere that Diggs, Hunter, Barr, and Kendricks are all up for extensions next year.

I figure Everson and Joseph have about 1 or 2 years left at this level before their production falls off. The rest of the D is pretty young yet but will start costing $.

Anyways Monster - I was kidding. This will be an interesting FA period.

Coming out of the combine 3 QBs seem to have the buzz. Allen, Mayfiled, and Rosen. Allen is the great tools guy. Mayfield has the production and showed his he has top notch skills. Rosen seems to be that safe guy on everyones board. I heard something about nobody agrees on who is the best in the class, but Rosen is typically #2 on most peoples boards.

I think Lamar should have run at the combine. Not sure what he wouldn't play up his strengths. I think it was a mistake for Darnold not to throw. It was his chance to cement #1. I think coming out of the combine Allen has taken the lead for #1. If I was the GM I would go with Mayfield. He seems like he could be Farve/Brees love child.

Did you happen to read anything about Tanner Lee? All I have seen is stuff written by the local (Nebraska) media which may or may not be homer stuff if you know what I mean. I'm not suggesting he is a top guy or anything but maybe a guy that gets drafted or a top priority FA. I didn't watch a ton of him this year but I do think in theory he has the tools. Been coached by Mike Riley as a QB isn't the worst thing either. The rest of the team? Well...lol

I'm no expert about this draft but Lamar Jackson seems like a guy that has done enough to be considered a QB and worth investing in. I'd be surprised if he lasted past the top of the 2nd round if he even lasts that long. Maybe he didn't run in the 50 because he knew that his time was and it wouldn't blow anyone away. There are several QBs that have run the 40 in meh times (Teddy wasn't that fast) and you watch them on the field and they don't look slow. Besides I'm more interested in if they can move quickly in short areas than if they can run 40 yards at top speed. You can say that about various positions on the field also.

Nothing on Tanner Lee. I looked up his profile and he seems like a long shot to get drafted in my eyes.

Saw a mock where Lamar Jackson goes to Saints at 27. In my opinion that is a great fit for both teams.

How about Billy Price at #30, Lamar Jackson at #62, and Orlando Brown at #219?

I think Price will be there because of his injury, and Jackson and Brown will each be there because of their poor combine showings.

I doubt Lamar is available at #62. If so you have to take him. I heard rumors Brown dogged because of a promise from someone. It will be interesting to see where he lands.

Not sure I go with Price in 1st or OL in general. Seems like one of the deeper positions this year. . We got Elfein in 3rd and Price was ranked behind him in terms of Ohio State lineman during Urban Meyer years.

If you don't mind could you clarify what these numbers mean next to each position?
