Running 2017 NFL Draft thread

[LongTimeListener]

Very early and starts with something of a surprise -- Christian McCaffrey, he gone after three years at Stanford.

My Next Step

I plan on getting my communication degree in the future. I don't know when, but I will finish. As soon as my career takes shape, I'll figure out a plan.

Bears messed up big time by winning last week.

I'd rather Matt Barkley be good than the Bears move up another pick or two. I'm fine with the win.

The theme song for the Patriots first-round pick should be "Welcome Back, Kotter."

I would love for Matt Barkley to be good. I have very serious doubts that he is.

FWIW, Pro Football Focus has been impressed the last two games.

 

[Steak Snabler]

Leonard Fournette and Deshaun Watson are also already in, as is Clemson WR Mike Williams.

It's PFF. It's worthless.

Lubchenko learn nothing!

It's PFF. It's worthless.

Why is that?

 

[justgladtobehere]

Why is that?

Because it is done by a bunch of guy without NFL experience watching tape at home. Before a few years ago, they didn't even have the All-22 and I am not sure they do use the All-22 now. They do HALFTIME analysis off their TVs. The rating system is completely arbitrary with no mathematical basis, just one guy's opinion of whether a player should get a plus 1/2 point for a play. There is no attempt made to correlate their ratings system to actual results, like some of the math based ones. They have no idea what each player's responsibility was on any play, yet PFF thinks it can tell whether a guard or a nose tackle did well on a play. Their rating system is utter horse****.

 

[JakeandElwood]

****, he has looked impressive and would have the stats to back that up without the incredible amount of drops. But it was against two very bad secondaries, and he doesn't have a good history. Maybe this is for real, but I'm rather doubtful.

 

[Songbird]

He'll look great against everyone except New England (and Alabama).

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

Auburn quarterback Jeremy Johnson says 'it's no secret' he will get shot at NFL

 

[Dick Whitman]

DeShone Kizer declares.

 

[Steak Snabler]

SEC guys declaring left and right here lately ... Derek Barnett, Alvin Kamara, Ricky Seals-Jones, Myles Garrett, Carl Lawson, Quincy Wilson. I think the LSU guys are having a presser Friday. Alabama and Clemson guys we'll know after Monday.

Ohio State's JT Barrett staying.

An interesting note I saw was about Texas A&M wide receiver Speedy Noil, who declared for the draft after being suspended multiple times this year:
