I have no idea how the Eagles didn't take Marqise Lee. In Chip I trust...I guess.
Guessing he's not clearing injury assessments to the point where teams are willing to draft him on his '12 production. Might be best WR in draft but might not be a starter until '15+.
Anxiously awaiting Grindstones feedback
Rams had two top 13 picks and fucking nailed them. Arizona took Deone Bucannon like 30 picks ahead of his predicted draft slot and it was the right pick. He'll be hands down the best safety in this draft and an immediate plug and play impact player. Very well could end up being the best pick of the 1st round when we look back in 2-3 years.
4 of the 6 best teams in football will play in the NFC West this year. Brutal.
Watching (on twitter, fuck TV and their 5 minute delay to announce picks) the teams that pick at the end of the draft versus the beginning is illuminating. Teams up high try to grab difference makers and reach, teams drafting late move around based on the desires of the shitty front offices and accumulate value, either in future picks or extra picks this year.
Seattle traded out of the 1st round and Detroit took a fucking tight end.
Actually, that was probably a smart move for Seattle. Detroit though? Another fucking tight end? Come on Grindstone, tell me everything will be alright with your other favorite team.
I wish Schneider could GM both teams. I guess Lombardi wants to outscore everyone since the defense is too many pieces away from being effective but the best offense Detroit can put on the field won't compare to the '13 Broncos and look how their super powered offense treated them when they got to play a NFC West team.
Furthermore, Ebron is a poor facsimile of the player everyone keeps comparing him to, Jimmy Graham. Not as big, not as fast, no where near as agile and pretty comparable college production. You know, college, where Ebron was a 3 year starter and Graham was a basketball player turned 20 snap a game 2nd TE to Aaron Hernandez for 1 season. Oh and Ebron has shitty hands. Sort of like Pettigrew. At least Fauria can catch the Stafford rockets.
Donald should have been the pick, or trade back. Interior pressure is the game changer for defenses in the NFL now. If you can collapse the pocket up the middle consistently, you will disrupt what the offense is trying to do. Regardless of what they are trying to do. Adding Donald into a rotation with Suh and Fairley inside while Ziggy brings it from the edge would have masked that secondary. But hey, a TE!!! Probably time to clean house and start over while Stafford is still young but we know how slowly the Ford family adapts. Sigh.
As for Seattle, they moved back 8 slots to pick up a mid 4th in a super deep draft. Looking at the tiers at their 3 positions of need (interior O Line, WR, DE/DT depth), they're still getting a guy at 40 that they would have drafted at 32, plus they can grab another OL/DL in round 4. Typically Schneider genish, doubt he's done playin chess either. It'll be another Seattle draft that gets a C grade from all the analysts over the next few weeks and then has a bunch of late round All Pros in 3 years. That's what he do.
