I still can't get over the Kendricks thing, maybe I need some therapy, and didn't like the Drake pick at all.
There was a lot of passion on Drake on both sides of the coin after the draft oh here. He was like a lightning rod.
Finally looks like Perriman, who I wanted us to stay away from, is going to get a shot. Got to feel bad for him.
This is a bummer for all the Vikings fans. I feel bad for them, especially Marshall. It sucks to see a young promising player being lost for the season because of one misstep.Sucks to see what happened to bridgewater. I guess his knee basically snapped in half the wrong way.
I do remember a lot of people saying his frame just wasn't built for the NFL level.

As far as our past drafts are concerned, I remember I wanted to stay put in 2013 and draft Tyler Eifert. Having said that, I had higher hopes for Eifert than what he has done so far.

It's early, but I'll go out on a limb and say I was wrong about Henry being another Daniel Thomas.
Apple has looked good this Pre season too, he just lost his man on one of new Englands legendary pick plays, but im not holding that against him.
Paul Perkins starting to legitimize my fears about spread offense rbs who look out of place in the NFL.
Peyton barber and Kenny bell cut.
You're not alone on Henry, but Perkins' limited physical tools are showing up big time. Too bad, because he was a nice back at UCLA.
Apple looks good - better than I expected, and I agree that the TD is something he'll learn from/not a concern.
So this is the site for our "draft experts?
The same ones that said Derrick Henery was "too big" and too tall". (remember Eric Dickerson?).
Now, who would be more important to us. Derrick Henry or that Howard guy at corner? O wait, I forgot, we do not run the ball, we do not keep drives going etc. So I guess we should load up on defense.
Listen, if you can't see that Derrick Henry is tremendous, you're not good at watching football. Every chance he got, Henry put on a show this preseason. His 216 rushing yards in the exhibition games led all AFC running backs and finished second in the NFL to Washington's Mack Brown. He also earned a whopping 15 first downs on his touches this preseason, which was the second most of any player.
While he dominated all preseason, Henry's crescendo moment was in the Titans "dress rehearsal" third preseason game against the Raiders. On a 14-play scoring drive, Henry touched the ball 10 times and was the engine of Tennessee's offense on the way to the end zone. It was also the rookie back who popped in the goal-line touchdown. He was so impressive that fellow NFL Fantasy writer "the Franchise" and I spent the better part of an hour simply gushing over his play while watching a late-night replay of that game after a weekend trip to see a Dave Matthews Concert. Yes, it was all as incredible as you could imagine.
Henry has a tremendous blend of size, power and speed. His unique frame threw off observers who just couldn't contextualize his style of play with his 6-foot-3, 247-pound body. However, it is clear he's going to be a force in the NFL, especially as a hammer late in games.
