minutemancl Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 It's really rare that teams are actually able to find 3 starters at 3 different positions of need in the first 3 rounds. I think the Giants may have done that these past 2 days. The value they got with their picks was super impressive. The Steelers, Patriots, Cardinals, Bills also had very good day 2s. Washington had a really nice day 2 as well; they got 2 of my guys in Quan Martin and Ricky Stromberg. It wasn't as egregious as day 1, but I think the Lions again had a poor night. LaPorta over Mayer is unconscionable to me. Brian Branch was a fantastic pick and great value. Hooker though is an odd choice for them, and Brodric Jones is the biggest reach so far in this draft, right there with the Niners taking a kicker. Brodric was somewhere around 250 on the consensus board, and the Lions traded up for him in the 3rd. Whoever takes Adebawore on day 3 is getting the steal of the draft and will be a big time winner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 One more thing for now- I like the LVN pick a LOT more after seeing what the Packers day 2 plan was. They're having a really good draft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsandI Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Everyone expected Packers to find a slot receiver but they ended up taking two freak TEs. That is a winner for me. Jake Moody is a loser. I simply don't care about PK in 3rd round. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncos67 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I think (homer alert) Denver had a good Day 2. Mims/Sanders/Moss are a nice trio of guys that I think will contribute immediately in some form or fashion. Philly, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Tennessee also had good days IMO. Tennessee landing Skoronski, Levis and Spears is a nice haul for Carthon. The Eagles continue to make smart picks and land top talent. Branch is an instant starter for DET and LaPorta is an excellent fit for that offense. Porter was a no brainer for Pittsburgh, and Benton is fairly underrated and should be a nice fit along the DL. I had him as a potential late 1/early 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Not one mention of the Bengals yet here in this thread, but it makes sense considering how average Day 2 was. I like DJ Turner a lot. Extraordinarily fast (which seems like a prerequisite in our secondary lately), can play boundary or slot, press or off, zone or man, and while undersized, is pretty fearless and likes contact. We desperately needed a corner with Hilton and Taylor-Britt the only CBs under contract through 2024. Jordan Battle is where it gets a bit weird. Our two starting safeties are established in Hill and Scott, so there isn’t a path to playing time for the next two years, but there was zero depth behind those two so it makes sense to add a competent body there. Would have preferred to see them go elsewhere positionally but, I can’t fault them for sticking to their board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Bengals three picks have prompted the least amount of response from me. That's not a bad thing. It's a 'ah yeah' sort of thing.

NVRamsFan Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Like that the Rams have addressed the trenches so far and everybody's assumption we were in on Levis because of the Coen ties proved to not happen. Avila should start day 1 and Turner and Young will both contribute in rotations up front. I like the Cardinals and Seahawks draft too unfortunately. Lions I think did good on day 2 as well as Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizter_Clean10 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 KC’s draft isn’t going to be at the top of any lists by any means, but when you win the Superbowl there isn’t a ton of holes, but they’ve addressed the ones they had really well.

Louis Friend Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 1 hour ago, Hunter2_1 said: Yeah you seem to get a bit more blocking to go along with the athleticism with Wash. I do like LaPorta, but I had him 1 behind Wash Brad Holmes has said since day one that they don’t draft for positions but players that fit what they are about. They don’t want a WR, they want THAT WR. They don’t want a LB, they want THAT LB. If they drafted LaPorta over Mayer and Washington, it’s because they wanted LaPorta and not just a TE.

It's probably the most conventional, predictable draft I can remember for us since 2011. Usually doesn't mean anything but I can't complain!

Scoundrel Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I thought the Colts had a good day two. Getting Brents in Bradley’s scheme and getting Downs at 79 to be the slot receiver in this offense (will compete with Isaiah McKenzie) with Pittman and Pierce outside. Reggie Wayne told Downs at the combine he needed him. And now he has him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad Shanahan is keeping the tradition alive though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
