Day 2 is Make or Break for Our 2016 Draft

[Tour2ma]

Be you over or under whelmed by our pick of Coleman on opening night, today will determine our 2016 "grade". Can we land:

• ... needed OL help?
• ... a complementary, power running back?
• ... a 3-down LB?

Check these three boxes and it'll have been a good day.

I fully expect Day 2 to start with a trade down from 32. While Sashi has gotten decent value (per "the chart") in his first two trades down, it seems that other teams have gotten better than chart value for their higher picks. Can he keep us in R2's top ten and net us a mid-third?

I also expect to see our first trade up. Can we move a 3rd round pick back into the middle third of R2 without costing us an additional R3?

Should be the most interesting Day of the draft we'll see... until Day 1 of 2017...

I think they've made smart moves. We need talent and aren't going to get it all in one year. They've mad smart trades and stock piled picks for not only this year but next. It gives time to evaluate and see next year what we need

It's a smart way to build a young team. Load up on picks for now and the future. The draft is still a crap shoot. More picks are better odds.

I think you're spot on with addressing our needs. I'd love for us to get a tough and nasty lb. We'll see.

I mean who knows. I would like to see if we can move back a few spots because there are some really good players still on the board. I will be pissed to see us take Cook. I don't think we should touch QB until round 3 or later.

Take Henry or don't take anyone. Not a need IMO. Feed the Crow.

I also think analytics are starting to lean more Ghoulie's way with regard to OL so I'm not sure that we take one today.

[bbedward]

I definitely expect a trade up somewhere today

Check these three boxes and it'll have been a good day.

1. OL: Jason Spriggs Indiana could be a very good candidate at ROT..per CBS sports ranking he is the best OL on the board. #34 overall pick. Or would you prefer an OG like Cody Whitehair? #39 overall prospect?

2. RB: Well, the Heisman Trophy winner is still sitting there. I don't think the Browns go that route....maybe late rd 3.

3. LB: Myle Jack and Ragland still sitting there.....but both, apparently, have major medical issues. If not them, Kentrell Brothers is a guy I had them taking in my Mock draft contest entry. There is also Kamalei "Chick" Correa, and Joshua Perry.

Who is your choice

[Tour2ma]

Chick and Nick... Martin, that is...

Oddly, CBS has Martin at the #65 best prospect......fits right in with our #65 pick. Sure, that could be a good choice. Primarily OC....but we can certainly use that.

(though RT may be more critical)

Another believer? LOL!

Ironic that Dallas is now in position to take THUNDER to go with LIGHTNING.

Agree... just a different route to the same end. Martin's my #2 OL in the entire draft...

Coincidentally another Aggie... hmmmmmm...

All in on Connor Cook.

Connor Cook is a douchebag. Do not want.

Spriggs.

Spriggs.

Certainly a position of need... not sure we can move far, if we have designs on him.

Well we know Dallas is going DE if we trade down. So have to anticipate those other 3 spots as best we can.

[Clevfan4life]

Spence, why is this a question?

[Opal312]

Noah Spence will be great in the NFL. He's better than Bosa and should be the next pick! But it won't happen!

he's bosa's equal in pass rushing probably but not in run defense.

Do we? Hearing Cook here after their failed Lynch leap... Are you thinking Dodd? Spence?

Do you see a fit for Spence under Ray? Seems more made for Krug's role...
