Official Draft Day Thread

I figured out the Atlanta pick. NFL will void the trade for cousins. He will go back to Minnie and be traded to Denver

If I am the Falcons I would love to get out of the Cousins contract and just move forward with Penix.

Maybe they trade him to the Raiders

Anybody got a link to the Atlanta fan forum or reddit? I need a good chuckle

Thats a possibility, they certainly need a QB. How are they going to compete with O'Connell and Minshew as their QB options.

Enjoy lol

Craaaaap. I hadn't really thought of that. Hope they don't get Tee or Deebo. Or Aiyuck (sp?)

 

[GreenDolphinSt]

Low class, unprofessional post even though I feel the Dolphins would have taken Fautanu if the Steelers had picked anybody else. I got a slight sense of disappointment from Grier/McD during their PC.

Yeah. I know I got a big sense of disappointment from ...well, me...when the Steelers pick was announced...

They have had weeks to do so. Grasping

Parsons had 5 sacks to Chop's 4, their last year at Penn St., with Parsons playing 1 more game. Lots more tackles, though. Chop is obviously not as good as Micah, and won't be - but the sack numbers don't tell the story.

Did any team draft interior offensive lineman in first round?

Barton... and possibly Fautanu or Morgan...

Obviously, none of them played primarily inside in college... which isn't unusual.

 

[Feverdream]

No Guards, no safeties, no running backs, one TE (but not a Y-TE), one C/G, no RBs, no ILBs and only one DT...

Teams are getting smarter.

Chop needs to lose like 10 lbs, he should be in 235 (ILB) to 248 lbs (OLB) range, to improve his jumping (explosiveness) and quickness for the linebacker position he will play. He is a bit too stocky at 254 which affects him laterally.
At 6-3 he will have to play off ball LB primarily.

That's insane. He ran a 4.48 at 255 and had the best broad jump, 128", of the edge rushers in this draft. his 10 yard time of 1.54 was in the 97th percentile. He is plenty explosive. His shuttle and cone indicate he moves laterally very well. 4.25 shuttle was in the 79th percentile. His 3 cone was 7.01 which for his size was excellent. Lots of corners have cone times of around 7.0
So, according to you, the fastest, most explosive edge rusher in the draft needs to lose weight so he can be more explosive and faster?
And the Dolphins did not pick the 2nd best pass rushing Edge defender in the draft to play him as an off ball LB. Good grief.

My complete lack of College FB knowledge makes my opinion useless, but the quick youtube I saw makes Chop look like a decent choice. With his speed, it'll be interesting to see whether he can become a bit more versatile, either way looking forward to seeing him suit up.

Probably been posted, but CBS like the pick

21. Dolphins: Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State​

Grade: A

I love this pick for Miami. He has the best first step in this draft. With a little coaching, he will become a dominant pass rusher. They can also move him around as a joker on their front. Love it.

Who cares how he tested? All I can about is how he plays when he is in the game and his play on the field in college was mediocre at best.

They traded up to draft Dion Jordan in the first round and he had tested out as one of the best all time for a player at his position. Yet he was a complete failure in the NFL.

Penn State had the 2nd ranked defense in college football in 2023. His teammates voted him the defensive MVP. I guess they did not consider him mediocre.
