Trojan Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Oof I got some nice rookie auto cards of John Kelly and now he's stuck behind Gurley :'( Was hoping he'd find a team with a possible path to a starting role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Jackson, Brown, and Ejiofor would all be better choices in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Hurst and Key I’m just underwhelmed by our draft so a Punter isn’t adding much excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again it is not a good value. Ok...Townsend more than deserved to be drafted. He was a top tier punter in the country the last 3 years and had 11 private workouts with teams up to the draft. He's not a slouch and i dont think its a massive reach. 47.5 avg+ the last 2 years, 3 time All-SEC, and an All-American last year. This is nothing more than fandom being butthurt cuz they didnt get the sexy pick of Dickson or Scott. Townsend is a DAMN good punter and has been for years. If you're hating on him being worthy of a 5th, youre uninformed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked other players here too - Scales or Cichy, but the very, very end of the 5th, after loads of compensatory picks is not likely to give you any can't miss players that you couldn't find similar ranked players later on or in UDFA. We needed a punter...and we got one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Would like to draft (or UDFA) Equanimeous St. Brown, WR Notre Dame (future Jordy replacement) DeShon Elliott, S Texas (solid FS depth)P̶a̶r̶r̶y̶ ̶N̶i̶c̶k̶e̶r̶s̶o̶n̶,̶ ̶C̶B̶ ̶T̶u̶l̶a̶n̶e̶(drafted) | Holton Hill, CB Texas | JC Jackson, CB Maryland (CB that could compete for one of the CB spots) Will Clapp, C (Would be good Hudson depth) Priority FAs Martez Carter, RB Grambling State (I like this scat back a lot, super elusive with fast cuts) Hercules Mustafa, [the 250 pound DT] Washington State Skai Moore, LB South Carolina (I think he has too many injury/size questions to get picked, could contribute though) Damon Webb, S Ohio State (I think he could be like Carrie matching up in the slot and reserve FS) Al Rasheed Benton, MLB West Virginia (If he improves his tackling technique could develop into a starter, if not won't stick in the league) Desmond Harrison, OT West Georgia (If we didn't double draft OT, I'd have him as a draft target for potential. I think he's a good practice squad option like Jylan Ware) Jack Chichy, MLB Wisconsin (Injuries made him not play last year, but talented enough to try it at the NFL level) I'm sure I'm missing some I've liked but this is the best I've got off the top of my head. I hope there wasn't an obivious Player X hasn't been picked yet that I should have listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 We went from having little to no interior pressure, to adding Hurst and Hall (both of which excel in the area). I am STOKED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to bother me a little bit. in some spots I agree. key was need/value and hurst was same. Hurst may wind up as the biggest steal of the draft. No LB makes me sad. I'd of preferred a LB or CB in round 3 and took another OT later in draft. Was a deep defensive draft in some spots and felt we didn't use it to our advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfrey13 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Not a single LB! If we are drafting for need why is it that we can not get a LB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
