Well there's been a trade straight off in the 2nd round with the Giants moving up for the first pick of the round.

by Number-25 Sat 02 May 2015, 12:12 am

Giants trade up to top of 2nd round to take Landon Collins. Silly move. Who wants a Safety that can't cover and takes bad angles??

by GSC Sat 02 May 2015, 12:16 am

Woo, we get to play him twice a year

by Number-25 Sat 02 May 2015, 12:18 am

RG3 might even have the chance of making a completion or two this season now.

by GSC Sat 02 May 2015, 12:19 am

Lets not go crazy

by Number-25 Sat 02 May 2015, 12:22 am

Yeah, you're probably right. I got carried away there.

lol Lance is just copy and paste from PFF.

Redskins trying to reach their way to success.

Hey, the Redskins have drafted Trent Murphy again!

Now you can have one on both ends.

Not a clue what the Panthers are doing. Why bother protecting Cam

Both ends of the bench....?

Mariota's got Green-Beckham to throw to along with Wright and Hunter in Tennessee... If he can beat out Zach Mettenberger.

While I'm not crazy about the pick, I don't think Scherff can be described as a reach - he was projected to go at the back end of the top 10 and we took him at 5. I'd have rathered we took Williams but Scherff fills a big need for us regardless of where he plays on our O-Line although they do seem intent on having him play RT.

Smith I know nothing about apart from what I just read but he seems like an unremarkable big guy who could contribute in the rotation. Seems like he could be described as a reach but I'd be delighted if someone told me otherwise.

What Scherff and Smith both do is fulfill McCloughan's stated aim of getting bigger and more physical on both sides of the trenches. I like that.

by Number-25 Sat 02 May 2015, 1:07 am

So, we're a third of the way through the 2nd round and Randy Gregory is still sitting there.... can he slide to the 3rd?

From what little i've seen of the prospects this year i'm not sold on him, hope Patriots don't touch him if he's still on the board.

I agree.... I'm no authority on the college game since I don't watch it but if I'm an NFL GM, I'm not touching a raw, skinny OLB who is slow off the snap and has off field character questions.

I'm not saying it was a massive reach, but their draft so far seems like it's being run by someone that fell in love with their mock draft.

Eagles trading up

Who do they have their eye on?

Jake Fisher maybe?

by Lowlandbrit Sat 02 May 2015, 1:21 am

Jaquiski Tartt: name of the draft so far?

by mikeygnfl Sat 02 May 2015, 1:32 am

The 49ers draft Tartt. The Eagles get Eric Rowe. Tartt is interesting and has been received some good write-ups in the past few weeks.

by GSC Sat 02 May 2015, 1:34 am

I would've thought Fisher, but Eric Rowe. Eases the pain of Dallas taking Byron.

by Number-25 Sat 02 May 2015, 1:36 am

Eagles pick makes sense.

by GSC Sat 02 May 2015, 2:12 am

Can Jerry resist Gregory

by Lowlandbrit Sat 02 May 2015, 2:14 am

This second round has been a whole bunch of 'who?'.

Nope!

Classic Belichick Day 2 - lets reach for guys we could get on day 3! Although he did say that the Grissom guy (a DE/LB) had the best TE workout of the class which is major lolz for the actual TE's

Should have stuck my mortgage on that. Such a Jerry pick. Reeks of desperation. Gregory and Hardy on the same team....

by GSC Sat 02 May 2015, 9:05 am

Jerry's all too aware of Romos window. As you say its another high risk, high reward move.

Don't forget Dez..

What's that saying? You can have one knucklehead on your team just don't give him someone to hang around with!

by Number-25 Sat 02 May 2015, 10:23 am

Redskins' approach to the draft so far seems to have been to find the biggest guy on the Board at any position of need. I'm not averse to a bit of physicality - we've been getting pushed around by everyone for far too long now. The short-lived Gregg Williams era aside, it's been over 20 years since we last had a team that had any sort of mean streak.

by skins4ever Sat 02 May 2015, 12:19 pm

I like the trade with the Hawks, as he's known for finding lower round talent, but if trading down at that spot, I'd have gone with one of the best DB's still on the board with the revised pick instead of a project LB. We can pick up projects lower down and people won't second guess us if they fail. Let's hope one of those projects turns out to be a quality S!

But on the point of Murphy, while I'm not sold on him at this stage, it's one year in, and a year where he was sat behind Orakpo most of it, especially in camp. He's actively competing for the starting role, so maybe he'll show better?

I think the talent level in this draft is pretty mediocre at a lot of positions TBH, wonder if the Patriots feel the same way.

by twelve283 Sat 02 May 2015, 4:43 pm

Field Yates "A testament to why today matters: 20 of the 44 starters in Super Bowl 49 were drafted in the fourth round or later."

I would like to see the Patriots go OL at some point, look at TJ Clemmings (depending on medical) and depending on the security report La'El Collins.

by mikeygnfl Sat 02 May 2015, 4:59 pm

So Grayson and Mannion go before the likes of Petty and Hundley who were rumoured as 2nd round prospects.

by Lowlandbrit Sat 02 May 2015, 5:06 pm

twelve283 wrote:and depending on the security report La'El Collins.

It'll be interesting to see if anyone picks him after his agent said he won't sign a contract if picked after the third round. Although I'm pretty sure his plan to enter next year again depends on actually getting picked at some point, so it seems like a pretty dumb comment to make.

by crazy_dave23 Sat 02 May 2015, 5:37 pm

Petty to the J-E-T-S... New York media goes crazy

by Number-25 Sat 02 May 2015, 5:46 pm

The more this draft goes on, the more I don't like what the Rddskins are doing. Now we've passed on some perfectly good Guard prospects to take a midget WR who will likely be too small to find a role and then we take a Guard who can't move once other teams have hoovered up all the decent prospects. But hey, McCloughan is a genius so you're not allowed to question him....

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 02 May 2015, 5:49 pm

Loving the start to Day 3 for NE - making up for the crapshoot that was Day 2

Jackson is perfect for what we need, and reunites with Stork

by Lowlandbrit Sat 02 May 2015, 8:11 pm

Eisen getting excited about a Punter or Kicker getting drafted is always a highlight of the draft.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 02 May 2015, 8:17 pm

Belichick took the long snapper from Navy who played lacrosse.

That's about as belichick as it can get

by mikeygnfl Sat 02 May 2015, 9:27 pm

The 49ers have drafted Tartt and Smelter. Are they just picking on surnames?

by Lowlandbrit Sat 02 May 2015, 9:52 pm

Could be. I'm not sure they've picked anyone yet that will be a useful player before whoever they pick in the top 5 next year is.

by GSC Sat 02 May 2015, 9:54 pm

Chip already said La'els off our board.

I'm guessing he wasn't 100% honest with teams

by mikeygnfl Sat 02 May 2015, 10:21 pm

My favourite drafts so far are the Bears, Cowboys, Vikings and Seahawks. The Eagles and Giants make solid first three picks so I think the Redskins could be in for a long, hard season.

by GSC Sat 02 May 2015, 10:25 pm

The Giants made an excellent 2nd round choice.

From an Eagles perspective

by mikeygnfl Sat 02 May 2015, 10:25 pm

The Rams have traded Zac Stacy to the Jets.

Superbowl

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 03 May 2015, 2:24 am

Pretty happy with the Pats strategy - looking to get OL help and then retool the defence.

Love the look of the two OL we took - Indy must already be quaking at the amount of yards we'll run on them.

Not such a fan of some of the defenders chosen, particularly Richards in the second (tavon Wilson 2.0).
