Why isn't Randal doing this?

 

@spiffa0 is on the clock

 

He doesn't know things. @Randall Mentzos

 

@Swoos @CarpetElf I'm not part of Holyfield this draft season so I haven't been paying as much attention. Matt already took the Jags as well and I don't really want to pick for another team. I'm just gonna lurk / observe this one, might join the Mock 2.0 & 3.0, and do some scouting after I've seen what you all have to say about the prospects in this one.


Those of you who are participating, it would be super appreciated if you leave at least a sentence describing why you took that player, it opens up draft discussion & knowledge to people who haven't been watching college FB.

 

With the 28th pick in the 2018 NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select Leighton Vander Esch, LB Boise State



The Steelers need to fill the void left by Shazier and his injury. He has limited time as a starter but put up big numbers. The Steelers drop their LB's in coverage a lot, and last year Esch had 4 passes defensed and 3 INTs. He also had 129 total tackles last year (84 solo, 48 assist). He is big and lanky, and could do some work as an ILB for the Steelers.

 

@CarpetElf is up

 

53 and 73 to move up to one of these upcoming picks

 

Almost time to start paying attention again! Hahaha

 

Guaranteed for the Jags next time. It's not fair to have a Rams fan picking for your team.

 

Torn between three picks, I'm going with what I find to be both the best for the team and the most realistic.



Jacksonville Jaguars select Mike Gesicki, TE, Penn State

The Jaguars need help on offense. Gesicki is an athletic freak, a great threat as a receiver, and a solid blocker. Bortles loves his tight ends, so we should probably give him a tight end who isn't ass.

 

@Blimp City Hero otc

 

I think that's the right pick for them. He'd be a big help. Especially if they re-sign A-Rob too.

 

fuckin thank you

 

Might have to get a Marcus Peters Rams jersey

 

Yeah, there's no guarantee a good tight end falls to me next round. Gotta go with value and BPA.

 

I'd love it tbh, great pick if we stay put at 29

 

That team just needs a meh offense to be good considering their defense. So anything to help with that is solid.

 

Yeah, he's my top realistic target. If a couple guys fall then that'll change but Gesicki absolutely should be there at 29.

 

That team just needs to resign ARob so him and Geisicki and Fournette's running game can help puppet Bortles into almost being a solid quarterback

 

well, there went one of my guys

 

With the 30th pick, the Vikings select Connor Williams, OT, Texas.



The Vikings' biggest struggle on the year was with their O-line. They definitely need some help on the exterior and, despite his 2017 struggle with up and down play and injury, Williams could be the best tackle in this class. At 30, it's worth taking a risk on seeing if he can live up to what was expected from him after 2016.

 

@buttsaywat Up for NE.

 

Williams was supposed to fall to the Colts’ 2nd round pick

 

Yeah, like the Colts would draft a lineman lol

 

Lmao

I love how youre so nice about the Texans and Titans but you're just a dick to the Colts
