<![CDATA[Day 2 is Make or Break for Our 2016 Draft]]>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...

As far as O-Linemen go, I think there's a lot of talent in that department this draft. Wait for kids like John Theus, Brandon Shell, and Jerald Hawkins in later rounds.

QB - Don't get Connor Cook.

Jonathan Williams is another nice, 5th round pick.

Left the bits I agree with... except Hawkins, who I do not know.

Theus has Feet, but no hands. Shell has neither.

In Coleman we landed the last rookie OT with a chance to start, and not embarrass us, this year. Only possible exception would be Shon bookend, Avery Young.

Cooke is the next best qb but nothing extraordinary.

I don't think Cook is best for this team anyway, but your argument that he comes from a weak defensive conference is whack...especially when you throw out your best choice at Qb is Hackenburg? Really?

Wait for kids like John Theus, Brandon Shell, and Jerald Hawkins in later rounds.

QB - Don't get Connor Cook. He played in a weak defense conference and got rocked one the playoffs hit him. Could not score a TD against Bama and couldn't do much in his conference championship. I hate to say it, but Paxton Lynch was your man. IMO he's the only QB who's gonna perform well in his first year. Invest in a kid that will fit your system but will take time to develop. Hope RG3 stays healthy and your backups can handle what's coming next. I'd say your best bet would be Christian Hackenburg. Kid has power, size, and accuracy, but will take time to get used to the NFL.

DERRICK HENRY! Come on! There's a lineman and rb right there. Jonathan Williams is another nice, 5th round pick.

Scooby Wright III would be a great steal. Considered the best LB in CFB the past 2 years until he got hurt halfway through the season. Guy is strong and has a lot of stamina too. Fell in the draft because of his injury.

Supposedly in competition with KC for Cook...

Other teams interested in 32 for other players...

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

precisely. Has to learn to edge better agaist the run but he's def the best no bosa consolation prize. We get a technically better edge rusher but not as strong obviously.

I am thinking either one. Can't hurt to have all the good DL/LBs that you can.

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.
