The Official Day 2 Draft Thread (NO TWITTER SPOILERS)

Down 5 spots in the 1st for a backup OL, a fifth round pick next year, and move up 8 spots in the end of the 3rd. Woo hoo...and we still have terrible DT depth. Very little experience. Love Tomlinson but we aren't much better with these additions.

Move up 8 spots in the end of the 3rd for a back up safety. *fixed
 
Sorry guys....i swear i really tried to be positive this draft. ...really did. Mayhew is just soooo dumb.....
 
I would order an Abdullah jersey, but let's face it, a guy my size only looks good wearing a jersey in the 90s.

You could wear #22 like Stafford...I mean Lorenzen

It's a wait and see. I'm still positive. Outside of our back up safety I'm cool with the first two.
 
So what do we have left?

a late 5th round pick, a late 6th round pick and a late 7th round pick? Yayyyyy...

Love Tomlinson
Like Abdullah, just don't think Bell and Abdullah is an upgrade over Bell and Riddick.
I'm okay with Carter, just don't think he plays without an injury in front of him. Might help the rush D, but the impact wouldn't be much...if anything.

There's other stuff going on today in my family (in-laws) that have made this a horrible day, but my disappointment with these two rounds and Jaylen Brown picking CAL has really made it worse. Ugh. Oh well. Maybe we'll find our Tom Brady tomorrow.
 
You guys are forgetting we have a 31yr old starting safety, who is just now coming off his best season. This 31yr old safety also only has 1yr left on his deal, not only that but he's not showing up to volunteering workouts due to wanting a NEW CONTRACT...If we didn't address the safety position(assuming Carter becomes a safety) this year, the same guys hating on the pick would be complaining next year that Mayhew didn't address the problem the previous season. He's in a lose/lose in some eyes.

I have a LB size but after the Delmas and LeShoure jerseys I can't do it anymore..

Trade up and get Collins then. These mid round DB bandaids.
 
Mayhew hates value.

Love tomlinson....immediate upgrade at rg. Probably atleast 10-15 picks early.

Love abdullah. Early for him. Can he carry the load? Is he really worth a 2nd rd pick with so much talent still on the board at positions of need? If hes not the feature back this pick wasnt worth it. Ps langford still on the board in the 4th. Coleman was still on the board and probably had a better chance at being a feature back in the league.

Mayhew finally creates value by obtaining extra picks! Oh, wait.....lets just piss that value away to a division rival for a guy that wont start unless dig isnt playing. Ps carl davis...projected 2nd rounder is still on the board at a position of need. Thats value! Mayhew hates value.

Bro, you're going off of projections. The fact is NFL GM's passed up on him. Projections mean shit. NFL mock drafts are fun for us fans but in reality they mean zero.

Good picks that went early or bad picks that got picked later than they should get picked..?

I just find it funny that bal and ne get guys like malcom brown and carl davis.....then we always wonder why we cant win like they do consistently. Amazing how that works out. ...isnt it?


Great great value at a position most would say we desperately need. .....nah. reach for a guard when we just traded for one and pick a back up safety.

Can't argue with that..but NE wins because they have Brady. Someone else they might not win any SB's.
 
Given Mayhew's track record if someone defends his moves with anything more than a we'll wait and see...my homer senses start tingling.

Weren't you complaining earlier about drafting a RB in rd2 because we can't block? Now you're complaining about picking up 2 guards on day 1 of the draft? Which one is it bro?

Playoffs...Enough said with this organization.

What about a team like Seattle...Seattle supposedly reaches every year in the draft to get the guys they want and look at them. It's not all about "projection value" it's about grabbing the guy YOU want and the guys that fit YOUR system.
