2016 NFL Draft

I wish Dre would hurry up and retire so that we could have a legitimate team ambassador to announce our picks. Paul Warfield. The freak. Irvin. Shaun alexander. Butkus......... Amobi??
 
Neither pick gets me to half mast but I can see the upside in both.

Remember a few years ago when Louis Nix III fell to us in the 3rd? Good time. Good times.

There could be other reasons we traded up. Maybe another team needing a C was digging around for a trade up. I have no issue with being safe and trading up to get a guy we really want.

Atlanta may have called saying another team was interested & we offered a little more.

But I'm glad we got a center... glad we got Martin.

If we get a true FS, I'll be happy... if we get Pharoh Cooper (& a FS)... the big O

This seems to be a developing pattern of behavior with O'Brien.

For good reason, he lost out more than once the last two years because of teams trading up

I have no problem with the moves this year... they gave up this years and next years 6th and got the players they wanted in the first two rounds
 
I wish Rick would've traded up for Spriggs.

Rick is putting alot of eggs in the Brown/Newton/Clark basket.

Hopefully Benenoch is the next pick. Or Hargrave

Someone jumps in front of them - Why didn't they trade up? How stupid can they be?
They trade up to get their guy - Why did they trade up? How stupid can they be?

The Texans can never win with some of you.

Yup, sometimes the people on this board amaze me with their craziness.

Sometimes it makes sense to trade up sometimes it don't. O'Brien hasn't quite figured this out, history is his judge.
 

So what's wrong with Billings and why is he dropping? Is there a bong video I haven't seen?

You have no idea if it was worth trading up. You have zero knowledge of other teams looking to move ahead of them.

If you want to complaint about the compensation given, fine, but don't complain about something that we have no insight to.

I honestly have no idea. I had him graded higher than both Alabama guys.

I hope to God he's not involved in that Baylor fiasco. I haven't heard his name linked whatsoever but who knows. That thing goes so deep.
 
Damn... would have liked Von Bell or Tj Green.

Guess we won't be getting a FS this year.
 
We gave up a couple of 6th rd picks. I'm not some big Rick Smith fan, but man....For real?


Had someone traded up in front and then we have reports come out later they didn't get who they wanted because "team x" beat them to the punch then there would be talk about Lil' Ricky "getting schooled once again"....

Blah, blah, blah.....

He's a 2 down lineman and is losing out to those every down players. That's 500 snaps vs 800-1000 per yr. He'll be on the sideline for every nickel and dime set, that's 60%-70% of the time.
