Unsympathetic

I'm watching the PFF live draft coverage which for some reason is broadcast from a college undergrad offcampus living room.. it's 3 PFF guys with cris collinsworth, and it's fun to watch them awkwardly respond to old cris's "I'm just going off what I saw, I don't know your numbers"

Tillery to the Chargers is too perfect.. Best value of the round so far. Oakland had 3 picks and came away with 1.4 players.. worst value of the round so far. Jonathan Abram is a box safety whose angles are complimentarily described as "atrocious," and both clelin farrell and josh jacobs were.. Not the best choices given players still on the board.

PFF had him far and away #1 so I wasn't shocked, I just hoped it would work out.

Patriots finally get a decent linebacker not named Hightower. Good value because he could have gone as high as the second. Terrill Hanks, LB, New Mexico State

Rams need edge players.. competent DL outside of Donald would, at this point, be an upgrade. Fowler is meh at best, and they're not bringing back Suh. Anthony Nelson, DE, Iowa

Pats need an OT to replace Trent Brown, and they waited for the guy who [along with Slayton] was the best player at the East-West Shrine Game to fall to them. Trey Pipkins, OT, Sioux Falls

Rams take a player late in rd3 who will be a solid starter for years.. to replace the disappointing Marcus Peters, who can shift to the slot. Jamel Dean, CB, Auburn

Patriots take the best route runner in the draft.. the younger brother of Falcons starter Calvin. Good value for mid-round-3 when he could have gone mid-2. Riley Ridley, WR, Georgia

Unexpectedly, Patriots draft a TE. Caleb Wilson, TE, UCLA

Patriots were going to go TE with this pick but see a player who fell that Belichick has his eye on. It doesn't hurt that the Pats need someone there in addition to Hightower. Chase Winovich - LB, Michigan Patriots don't forget that Trey Flowers was also a later-round guy who was very high in translateable PR.

I did also link the PFF article showing him tied with Williams for pressure % from the interior.. Jones wasn't as efficient. Pats also traded a 5th for Michael Bennett [and a 7th] earlier this month so their DL might be competent this year for the first time in a while. And the AFCN gets both the AFCE and NFCW so we'll get to test ourselves against both SB teams next season.

Pats have been looking for pressure out of the interior DL for a while and select Jerry Tillery, Notre Dame. They'll replace Gronk on day 2. In January, WalterFootball called the Pats replacing him this offseason even if he didn't retire..

Rams take G Chris Lindstrom, Boston College

Unless it's a pick, stop posting in this thread. Tour please delete all the non-pick posts including my earlier Rams one.

Rams lost Saffold to the Titans a couple weeks ago, and their center should have retired a couple seasons ago. They take the best OL remaining on the board who just happens to be athletic enough to be a day-1 starter at any OL spot. Their QB needs an elite line, but without Saffold, they still need work just to get back to average. OT Jonah Williams, Alabama

It should shock nobody that the Pats have increased the candidates they're looking at for their first-round pick. To be fair, 47/682/3 isn't exactly Gronk's typical annual stats.. he was a shell of his former self in 2018.

Great article on The Ringer: "I believe in the power of leadership and intangibles, but that comes after having good players."

True, except that's too much money for under 45 catches a year.. aka at best the Alvin Harper to some Irvin..

In every game of poker, if you dont know who the sucker is within 2 minutes of sitting down... it's you. Dorsey correctly identified one of the worst GM's in the league and is taking advantage.

More than none but less than 100%. Catching was his problem in Baltimore and he wasn't exactly magical here.. hence only a 4M contract.

This is the first A+ trade grade the Browns have ever received on Walter. I just hope LB and DB won't be our downfall next season! *Crosses fingers* Cmon, KJ Wright...

I'll take Rams and Pats.. I do live in Boston after all

Zona D outside of Patrick Peterson wasn't much - they lost calais campbell, they lost their rover DB Mathieu. They're so bad they just hired the useless Denver Vance Joseph to be their DC.. They had barely above-average seasons from DB Budda Baker / LB haason reddick / DL chandler jones. As well, don't look now but someone named Pierre Desir was the 15th rated CB [ahead of Lattimore, Slay and others] in the entire league this season with Indy.

Neither this Browns team nor KC are anywhere near 1999 Rams. Blog post about that defense.. Only a very few Browns would crack the starting lineup - Schobert, Landry, of course Garrett and that's about it. Who on KC would substitute for anyone on the 1999 Rams? Schwartz isn't good enough to be even a poor man's Orlando Pace.

Remember that after he gets drafted Dorsey will probably cut him in favor of a 35yo DE with no quickness who made the pro bowl 7 years ago.
