Official 2017 NFL Draft - Round 1 Thread

[Arky]

Keith called it!

What are they giving up?

[chuck]

Dumbasses.

[popanot]

WTF. Lets just give up all of next years picks. My gosh.

[chuck]

Everyone around the league is laughing saying lolololol Texans gonna Texan.

People have been saying that Ricky has been in total control over the draft and this makes that pretty clear.

This is how a frachise cements suckitude.

[chuck]

So in 2018 they're going to implement the veer. That's the good news. The bad news is they won't have any picks to draft the seven running backs they're going to need.

[Nconroe]

I love the Watson pick for QB. Super leader.

They likely have quite a few compensatory picks next year.

I think we gave up less than Chicago or KC gave for their trade up.

Coverage seems positive on NFL network to me.

And now I can go to bed early.

[chuck]

This guy comes from a one read offense. I can't wait to see him in BOB's Stephen Hawking devised scheme.

Ramcyzk goes to the Saints. Lamp, Robinson, King, Melifonwu, McMillan, Webb, Feeney, Willis, Wormley, Cunningham, Awuzie, Rivers, Bowser, Moton, Hodges, Walker, Tankersley, Baker, Jones, and Moreau are on my radar tomorrow.

Seems some others on the Board have a couple reservations about the pick Nconroe, but I really don't have any idea what kind of an NFL QB Watson will be ?

[bikerack]

From my friend....

"This pick was all OB. If he goes down, it will be swinging. Watson was the most mature kid I met this draft season."

Thanks again for sharing. Virtual beer headed your way.

I'm completely astounded by all of this. Watson seems to be light years away from what BOB would want from a quarterback. That's one thing. Another thing, if he thinks this is his last year I would think that he'd rather find someone who can make an impact right away, a corner or a tackle or whatever. That would help the 2017 team and thus presumably help his future chances elsewhere.

Also, if he's out at the end of the year why the hell would the organization pick a quarterback that BOB wants? That makes no sense. Why would they accept his input and then TRADE UP to do so?

I would have thought that BOB would have wanted to play the BO game all over again, you know, I never wanted this guy so it's not my fault that he sucks.

And if BOB has this sort of weight on draft day why the hell wouldn't he have taken a quarterback a year or two or three ago? He knew he needed one.

I appreciate the insight, br, I'm just befuddled by all of this.

That is great to hear. My biggest desire all along is that OB bet on a QB. This is certainly that.

I'm also happy to see Watson be genuinely excited to come here. If you think you're a top half of the draft QB, then being handed the job on a playoff team with historically bad QB play is like hitting the lottery.

[Nconroe]

Nobody know for sure. I heard earlier in evening of last 21 QB drafted in first round, 4 seem franchise good but haven't won SB. Eight are out of league already.

Got this analysis off Jets site.
PRO: He's a winner
There is no doubt about this. He led Clemson to a monumental win in the national championship game this past season against Alabama. Watson played with poise throughout the game, in which he completed 36 of 56 passes for 420 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. That is impressive, big-game stuff.

CON: Interceptions
He threw 17 of them last season and 13 in 2015. The Jets have experienced major problems in recent seasons with their quarterbacks throwing too many interceptions — from Mark Sanchez to Geno Smith to Ryan Fitzpatrick. If the Jets draft Watson, will they be able to cut down on his picks?

Deshaun Watson's scouting report
From NFL.com: "Teams will have to weigh the inconsistent field vision and decision-making against his size, athleticism, leadership and production. While not perfect, teams can add checks to both arm and accuracy boxes for Watson. However, discussions about whether or not his areas of improvement can be corrected will likely determine whether a team will view him as a high-upside prospect or a franchise quarterback. Watson's transition from Clemson's offense to a pro-style attack will obviously take time, but his combination of intangibles and athletic ability make him worth a first-round selection."

[popanot]

I would not be surprised to see the Texans trade a #3 or some combo to get a 2018 #2.

[Arky]

Yeah, the 17 INT's bother me.

They should sit him for entire year, IMO (or very, very limited real time). I don't think he should be thrown to the wolves. Let Savage take his shot this year....

[Arky]

Wow, so including the Brock deal, Cleveland gets our next years #1 and #2. Texans won't pick till the 3rd round....

At any rate, Texans have taken their first 1st round QB since one D Carr.
