Dingo18287 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 NFL Draft 2018 Round 1: Thursday April 26 8:00 ET Rounds 2-3: Friday April 27 7:00 ET Rounds 4-7: Saturday April 28 12:00 ET Location: AT&T Stadium of Dallas Cowboys Panthers Draft R1- 24 R2- 55 R3- 85 and 88 R4- None R5- 161 R6- 197 R7- 234 and 242 Needs: DL DB OL WR TE and Developmental QB who you guys got your eye on? Where do they go in the 1st? I think a DB DL or OL has to be the 1st rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atown703 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 With our 1st, I'd like us to take Landry or Davenport DE. I think these two players would be the most beneficial to our team but I wouldn't be opposed for Wynn or Hernandez as an instant replacement for Norwell. I like Josh Jackson and Jaire Alexander at CB but I doubt we use a 1st rounder on secondary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Not considering what the general draft strategy has been under Rivera (though most of that was with Gettleman, so who knows how it might vary with Hurney back in the fold), Hernandez or Josh Jackson would make the most sense. But if we stick with the strategy of looking to fill more future needs rather than current needs, I'm not sure where we'll go. Maybe an offensive tackle, though the end of first round seems much more stacked with interior lineman than tackles. Maybe we go with a linebacker? Davis headed into his last year, Kuechly with some injury issues, Thompson still hasn't had that "breakout" year. Its nice that there are so many QB's projected to go ahead of us, though. 4 pretty much guaranteed, Jackson could be picked by our spot too, so hopefully we'll end up in a really nice "BPA" spot.

Drics13 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Id be happy with: CB: Jackson, Alexander G - Hernandez or Wynn DE - Davenport or Landry WR - Ridley - i know he isnt a favorite. I think if McGlinchey was there at OT I would be happy with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo18287 Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Marty Hurney said this morning that one of the things he's learned, is not to trade next years 1st rounder. At least we got that going for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said there is a lot of talent in the 2nd and 3rd round range so I hope we don't trade down espcially if 1 of my 6 guys are there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbrown2699 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I think Taylor Moton is going to compete for the Norwell position. I'd be happy with OL, though. You can never have enough good OL on the roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zithers2 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 He tried moving up 5-8 spots to get Derwin James, though I don't think that would have cost us our first rounder. LOL Saints for dumping theirs to get a DE from a tiny school. DB and OL will be major things that are hopefully addressed tomorrow. LG is a ?, Matt Kalil sucks, Ryan Kalil is retiring, and Daryl Williams is looking at a payday next offseason. DB is obviously a joke at the moment. QB, RB, TE, and DE are other less important things we need to deal with in the short-term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atown703 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I hope we take OL, S and a DE on day 2. Competition always brings out the best in others. Not confident Daeshon Hall will return from his injury he had last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Traded back with the Packers, gave up pick 88 for 101 (first pick in round 4) and 147 (5th round). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo18287 Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Only 2 guys on offense, WR and TE. Rest of draft was DL LB and DB. Figured they would grab at least 1 OL and a developmental QB since Anderson hasn’t been resigned. Gotta reload the olding defense tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zithers2 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 WR DJ Moore - Really good pick. Has a great chance of being a starter across from Devin Funchess week one. CB Donte Jackson - Not sure how I feel about this one. I like that he has an attitude. But he's really small in a division loaded with huge receivers and Bradberry isn't exactly lighting it up so far. Rivera also implied we could play more man with him due to his speed but man-to-man worked out horribly for us last year. Also, larger corners Isaiah Oliver and Carlton Davis went right after him to our division rivals... S Rashaan Gaulden - Another guy with attitude. I guess the plan is to put him at SS. Rivera mentioned he can cover TEs and play well in the box. Think he might need to gain some weight, sub-200 at 6'1 right now. TE Ian Thomas - Super raw but the ceiling is high. Hopefully he pans out better than Chris Manhertz, Brandon Williams, Scott Simonson... DE Marquis Haynes - Not even 240 lbs. Just a weird pick to me unless we do some uneven fronts a la Hawks/Jaguars or put him at SAM to blitz a ton a la Von Miller or Bruce Irvin. He needs to bulk up a lot if he ever wants to play on non-third downs. LB Jermaine Carter - Good STer which is always something we can look to improve. Also forced a lot of fumbles. Could be a reserve LB. LB Andre Smith - Probably a PSer. DT Kendrick Norton - Also probably a PSer. I dunno. Seems like a mixed bag to me. We got a probable starting WR, two DBs who have a lot of question marks surrounding them, a tweener rusher, a project TE, two LBs where only one, maybe both don't make the team, and a DT who won't make the team. Meanwhile, Dave Gettleman had a great draft with the Giants, rebuilding them from the inside out and getting Barkley... sigh. I hate you, Jerry Richardson, you perverted racist POS. Can't wait for the team to be sold to someone who cares about winning and gets us a real GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point that he is doing things like rebuilding their needs (the trenches) and getting proven playmakers to give the team an identity. We are trying to get "favorable matchups" by drafting a 5'10 180 corner who is described as "okay" in coverage by basically every analyst I can find. Then we spent two or three picks on guys who probably won't make the team instead of trying to trade up for someone who has a good chance of doing it (which would have been a major Gettleman move - plus two of those picks were LBs which is pretty much the absolute last thing we need). Rivera said in the presser that they won't make Haynes gain weight, so we're gonna be seeing a 240 lb DE in the near future, or maybe we'll be doing more 3-4 looks or something... dunno, hard for me to get too excited about this one. Hurney said his evaluation process didn't change and his evaluation process SUCKS if his last few drafts are anything to go off of. Of course, I hope I'm extremely wrong about all of this. I really like the DJ Moore pick though and Ian Thomas will probably be our second TE right away, so that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
