With the 23st pick in the 2016 NFL Draft the Vikings select: Andrew Billings DT, Baylor Last season the Vikings had several needs OL, WR & DL. They addressed OL via free agency getting guard Alex Boone & Tackle Andre Smith so I think with getting Loadholdt back from injury they have bigger needs. Top 3 WR off the board already I think better value in second or third. So that leaves DT and the Vikes also re-Signed Kendrick Ellis so they need more of a DT than a NT. With that said Andrew Billings seemed to be the pick that the Vikings fan board wanted.
Completely fair I could see him going top 15 or having a Gregory like fall. These off the field issues combined with the poor pro day have to make some teams take him off his board. That said watching his highlights I think he's the only person that can stop himself from becoming a valuable player in this league. Not sure I'd love the pick if the Jets got him I'd rather go a safer route but he'll probably have a higher ceiling than all guys available.
While I somewhat agree and I definitely see where your coming from, I believe Josh is a better WR than Jalen is right now and has a much higher upside. I like Jalen but I think he is going to be an average to a littler above average WR. While I do like Hunter, I like Josh more. I'm not big into picking TEs in the first unless I feel 100% sure I'm getting an elite game changer.
With the 24th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft the Cincinnati Bengals select Eli Apple- CB, Ohio State Missed out on Darren Lee and Josh Doctson so went with the next best option on the board
I like this pick. Helps the Texans try to get the most out of their investment in Osweiler by giving him another good target. Someone disagreed because they grabbed Jaelen Strong last year, but I don't think that takes anything away from this move. Who do you envision joining Hopkins on the outside, Doctson or Strong? Either way, depending on how those two develop, that could be a really formidable aerial attack. Not a lot of blazing speed in that trio but all 3 can still get deep and high point the ball really well. That, paired with Osweiler's big arm could finally give the Texans a respectable offense to compliment their D. Well done, sir.
I'm not too sure about Doctson in that spot.. WR is the least of their worries imo.. I also think they if they did go WR they would look for a burner who could take the top off the D instead of a similar style WR to Hopkins..
While we can agree to disagree and everyone has their own opinion, WR is far from the least of their worries imo. Their biggest needs in no order are a WR opposite of Hopkins, DE opposite of Watt, safety, and Tight End. There were no safeties or tight ends that I would feel comfortable picking up here. The only person that I feel that I may look back and go "oops shoulda picked him" is Kevin Dodd out of Clemson, whom I very much thought about taking. I will say that a big reason I picked who I did came from me having quite a few Texans fan friends who have been screaming for WR help. However, like I said, everyone has their own opinions on how to build a team so either of us could be right
with the 25th pick the pitsburgh steelers select JACK CONKLIN OT helping the trenches is never a bad thing. Rockinz is now OTC
If I'm still in this thing from 3 years ago, somebody better tag me when I'm up, cuz I gave up on this thread months ago.
Hawk nation is proud to select from running back from Alabama Derrick Henry! Thomas Rawls did decent last year but coming off a broken leg and not much depth after that we decided to beef up our run game and take a player that fits our system perfectly.
The Green Bay Packers in dire need of talent on defense are going to roll the dice here and go with robert nkemdiche!
With the 28th pick the Chiefs select William Jackson, CB. The Chiefs just lost sean smith and want another long, rangy corner to pair with Marcus peters New England is on the clock... Oh wait nevermind, haha. @vegaskarl Arizona Cardinals are otc
That's a really good and well thought out pick. It's almost like you had someone else make it for you.
