NFL GDT: 2023 NFL draft

[AtlantaWhaler]

Eagles took McKee

Wait...he didn't play for Georgia tho

It's going to be somewhat refreshing that the Vikings aren't going to have a ton of picks due to trade downs for the first time since like the Childress era (remember their being a couple 5 pick years.) Trending towards 6 this year.

Spielman loved trying to have "at least 10." He hated competing for UDFAs. And Kwesi traded down a bunch last year too. This year, traded their 2nd for Hock, 4th to move up last year (got a 4th back in Hock trade though) 6th for Blacklock and 7th in a Stephen Weatherly trade a few years ago. Then moved down twice and up once this weekend.

For starters all of those guys can't make your team can't make your sometimes you need quality over quantity.
Also it'll make my draft reviews 3 years down the line a lot shorter

Realistically around 1/3 or more of guys taken in rounds 5-7 end up on the PS. Probably best to swap a couple of those guys for someone who can make your 53 man roster. At some point the scouts need to have conviction that someone post round 2 can make an impact.

I’d say every other year is when you want those 10 pick drafts.

Wanted Zach Evans in the 5th. Love this move.

New record for most Canadians taken in an NFL draft
2 (38) - Atlanta Falcons - OT/OG Matthew Bergeron
3 (66) - Philadelphia Eagles - S Sydney Brown
4 (117) - New England Patriot - OG Sidy Sow
4 (124) - Baltimore Ravens - EDGE Tavius Robinson
5 (163) - Cincinnati Bengals - RB Chase Brown

Sidy Sow sounds like a AI invented name

His HS recruitment was really funny. Texas fans were losing their mind that Drayton chose Bijan over him. Worked out well.

I'm thinking Titans go Safety or ILB with their last pick,not sure who though

Most 7th rounders are Practice Squad players...

 

[GKJ]

Dallas drafted Deuce Vaughn. Looking for a Darren Sproles.

 

[MMC]

Guess that letter worked

 

[MMC]

Chargers get Duggan in the 7th

 

[GKJ]

Chargers draft Max Duggan.

Chargers get Duggan in the 7th

Solid choice. Had chase Daniels last season. Cheap option as a backup.

DEUCE!!!

Speed speed speed!

 

[DaaaaB's]

You’re right on To’oTo’o, @DaaaaB's. Not drafted yet. I bombed that one. Just means someone gets a huge steal.

I wasn't the one who called you out on taking him that early but I do remember saying that his stock had been dropping a lot since the season ended or something along those lines.

I had been seeing him going up, saints usually like guys like that.

That’s nothing compared to the virtual draft year where it looked like Jerry Jones was on a spaceship (it was his yacht)

Poor McCarthy. He looks uncomfortable in a full suit. Two other people are there without ties on.

Philadelphia and Seattle are my 2 big winners. For the Eagles, it's borderline unfair that a team who just made the SB could have a draft that great. Meanwhile, we knew the Seahawks had all that capital from the Wilson trade, and they used it well in this draft.

With Philly, they had the structure and culture in place to take the gamble on Carter. Atl is too close to home. Chicago, don’t have the culture setters on D. Detroit, not yet. Seattle, bobby is back but older. Adams, will he stay healthy. Seattle also didn’t want to blow this high pick so wanted more of a sure thing. AZ, culture not set either. Thus enabling the Eagles to get Carter.

Good points about Carter. It's not just him though. Adding his Georgia teammates Smith and Ringo were other good selections.

Smith is a 6’2 238 edge. More fitting a 3/4 scheme or a rotational role in a 4/3 scheme. Think Philly has the depth to work him in slowly as he gains a bit of mass to 250 lbs or they have plans to play him as a 4/3 LB.

Ringo has great size for an CB and in early mocks in March was mocked in the first round on multiple sites. Fell to round 4. Will need work but has potential. At worst if his coverage skills don’t improved he has the skill set to transition to S.
