Ran slow at the Combine...then took nearly .3 off at pro day...one analyst said he looked like he had no clue as to how to run a 40...he took out JaMarr Chase...tall but has short arms...like, he can't tie his own shoes short....we are drafting freak show attractions...

OMG The puke just took a TE from Cinncy that is the 191 ranked player on PFF.  So a QB and RB that they did not need and a small TE.

This is our year to take over the division long term!

Another mediocre pick by the Puke.  Average TE.

So another backup "skill player" and no help for the D in first 3 rounds.  Gotta love the leadership in GB

He is a 6'2 and 240lb TE??

I think Trautman from Dayton is a potential player. He is 6'6 around 255.  He looked really good in the senior bowl running routes and aggressive blocking.

I'm guessing the obscene amount of Day 3 picks is to offset the logistical difficulty to grab UDFA during the pandemic

disappointed but the 4th rd has many potential starter prospects and the 5th has many potential depth players

4 picks so far, 3 are WR's

Al Davis still running the draft from beyond the grave

Going all Detroit in one draft.

seems like neither corner is a sound tackler
Tackling? Tackling? We talkin bout tacklin? Not a game, not a game, not a game. We talkin bout tacklin.

And here the nice young man with the man bun from PFF told me tackling wasn't important.

Both did receive dings on their tackling, but neither seemed way egregious. Both had technique stuff to clean up. What I did like was they both seem to be willing to stick their nose in and not shy away from contact, which is worse than making a businesses decision.

Also, thanks for editing out that freaking graph!

I really feel like Spielman screwed up the third round when there were some really good players who he could have traded up for. Maybe he tried and failed, maybe he wasn't willing to overpay to get what he wanted, but we could look back at this point in the draft and realize we passed over immediate contributors and potential starters that would have helped fill some of our glaring needs, especially at DT, to grab more picks. Not happy about that after he was doing so well and got the tackle I wanted.
