Don't we still need a LB?

 

Seems at this point we will be rolling with Misi and Sheppard.

 

Whats the next position? LB? Dont know any if the remaining names at Lb, but gotta figure we hit all the other needs at WR, OL, and CB. Either LB or more depth

 

That scares me.

 

There goes Harrison to the Jets. ****,

 

Omar Kelly loves the Draft class already

 

Mike Hull is solid

 

Mike Hull would be a good LB pick here, I'd still like to see Lynden Trail or Tayo Fabuluje.

 

****

 

Well then....lets go Mike Hull lol

 

Neither do I. I think every pick makes sense so far.

 

again really? a commercial.

 

Wonder if we took him as a WR or CB

Like the pick though

 

That's why I'm following the draft online at NFL.com. No commercial breaks at inconvenient times.

 

Tony Lippett, WR, MSU

 

WR Tony Lippett MSU

I'm not crazy about this pick.

 

Tony Lippett Wr

 

every year.

 

wouldve preferred tre mcbride if we were going to draft another wr. maybe he's a cb prospect

 

Whats the logic here?

parker jennings stills landry matthews lippet hazel... O_O

 

Matthews will probably get cut.

 

Dolphins announced the pick as DB not WR.

 

He can play DB?

 

He can play both lol. It seems in a game he actually was playing both at the same time.

 

He plays special teams.

 

Okay well...I feel a bit better than. Claw into special teams and find your way into another position if appropriate. I'll drink the kool aid and hit the "I believe" button.

 

Draft is over. Nicely done!

 

Was the team MVP and finished the 2014 season as both starting wide receiver and starting cornerback

 

Consider me educated.

 

Yea, he can play both WR and CB. Will be a work in process as a CB. More polished as a WR right now, but has ability that could develop into a outside CB.

Hard worker. I like the pick, but it will take 2-3 years for it to pay dividends.

 

Gotta wonder if we trade Mathews for a 6th or 7th at this point.Maybe we trade him and get back in for a LB. It dumps a player that doesnt want to be here and drafts his replacement.
Just a thought. But now that the analysts are saying he plays cb too...mught just be depth with flexibility

 

Reading there are some similarities between Lippet and Richard Sherman. Size, both played WR/DB in college, 5th round pick. Just for what it's worth.

LOVE THE Lippett Signing especially in this round! Versatile players can be converted to corner back as well. 6 FOOT 3 has speed, great hands and shifty in space. Image that size in the red zone!!

FYI Jennings is a stop gap. 1-2 years max left in the tank. Possible grooming.

 

Interesting that 21% of the players in the HOF were drafted in the 4th round.

someone on reddit claiming to know our 2nd round pick, thought I should share it here.



i just saw thisperishedmin already posted this earlier

 

So far the best picks of the draft are Parker, Ajayi and Lippett.

 

Lamar Miller will make a great change of pace back. Now we have a guy who can carry it 25-30 times a game.
Now they can test that "getting stronger with each carry, wear em down in the 4th qtr" theory. Couldn't do that with Miller.

 

Tony Lippett is an awesome football player; he'll find ways to make plays.

Last month, I ranked him my favorite of all Day Three WRs. Here's the snippet:

 

LOve our new running back where we got him. Mayock says the knees bone on bone but what ever team picks him gets a great player for one contract. Hope they manage that knee. excited hope for robotic knee replacements in a few yrs lol

Edit: Jay says its over blown Knee is fine. Rumor is it wasnt only the cowboys med staff others question it. still what a great value
