The 2017 NFL Entry Draft (no spoilers)

The way I see it, I think we are ok in the interior. And you aren't getting a tackle that can do much of anything at this point. Yes we have Trent Brown, but that doesn't usually happen. Still may take a flier on someone. But I'm curious to see how our guys on the roster transition to this zone blocking scheme.

People should be pumped for this pick... the most productive player you'll find against D1 competition this late in the draft. He is elite in where he wins which is in the slot. Him and Switzer are very comparable (not just being white and short). He was more productive than Carlos Henderson, fills a need at slot, and does KR/PR.

Him and Switzer are the quickest wr in the draft.

Dude looks like a YAC machine.

Yup, and doesn't go down at first contact in some highlights... that'll change in the NFL but still nice pick
Browns and Bengals... drafting like draft twitter (hate to say it but I love their draft)

I think we did enough to solidify the oline in FA, but I'm sure we'll get a couple more bodies for depth (next rounds / undrafted).

Given the extra 2nd and 3rd rd picks we got for 2018 I will take the Lynch draft. Not that I dont like yours by the way. I just think the Niners hit it out of the park with every pick other than the QB and I will trust Shanny on that one.

My personal draft selects at the slots the team created, so trades do not fall into account. Just a comparison of what the team got at their pick

Cool. Still will go with Lynch's by a little. You didnt take a QB which I think the team did need to do. I DO like yours but I truly believe Lynch/Shanny kicked butt. LOVE the speed and quickness they added with Williams and Taylor. Time will tell but they could have 4 new starters with Thomas, Foster, WIllingham, and Kittle as well as their slot WR and 3rd down back. Just impressed by the haul
Is Shaun O'Hara really that stupid? Criticizing the Steelers and Giants taking quarterbacks. So I suppose the Patriots were foolish to take Garrapolo. Or the best example of all, the Packers were foolish to take Aaron Rodgers. They could've added an O-lineman or receiver to help out Favre in '05. Some people demonstrate why they are on TV talking and others are in personnel, making decisions.
10 pick countdown
Out of seven picks, I only see two guys that may not play so much this year. Not bad at all.

Lol, well they're about 5'10 to his 5'8 but been working with big boys... he'll put on the weight (maybe)
