Voice_of_Reason Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I've done this the last few years, and it seems to have been pretty successful. So I thought I would do it again. The rules are simple: 1. Name the player that you wish we had signed in FA or picked in the draft. 2. For draft picks, please limit to players who were available at the pick we selected at. For example: BAD: Myles Garrett. Why? Because we didn't pick #1 overall, and there's no way we get him. GOOD: Reuben Foster. Why? Because we could have selected him at 17 instead of the player we selected. 3. For the draft, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE put position, school, draft position, new team where possible. I don't know every player in college football, and it makes my life easier to find, compile and then update the players. 4. For free agents, please use some discretion. If the 'Skins realistically had no play at the person, then it's not worth tracking. If they did, then it does. I leave this to your discretion. I will give it a little while, then compile the results, and then track through the season to see how well these guys did. I generally update the results for every player listed right before the season (after the draft), and then 2-3 times during the season, and then after the season. Finally, while discussion about drafting a QB at any point in the draft is fine, this is not a Cousins thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrFan Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 TJ Watt since I couldn't believe Allen would have fallen to us, I thought he would have been the best sack artist available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo'sRangers Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I wanted some Butt. Damn it....hail Jake Butt-Michigan-Tight End 5th round, Denver Broncos-145th pick Bad: We couldn't get to him before Denver....maybe not take Montae. Probably favorite TE in draft for us. Good: We were able to get Sprinkle, another good TE, just not as good as Butt, AND Montae, without trading & losing picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilco_holland Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 My draft would be: 1. Allen. Thats just BPA and fits a huge need. 2. Zach Cunningham. I also thought about Chidobe Awuzie but think Zach is going to be tackling machine. 3. 100% CB. I only think I would take Lewis from Michigan. 4. Carl Lawson Auburn. Think he is good OLB depth. 4. Would go Butt or Kittle here. Think I would go Kittle because he is more of a blocker and no injury concern. 5. Will Holden, Vanderbilt. Like him a lot as depth o lineman. 6. Qualls from Washington. Big body for the middle. 6. Fields from Louisville. Went undrafted because his red flags but like potential. 7. Ford the WR from Virginia. Don't think I would grade a lot better then Redskins. I think that guard/center guy we drafted might be very usefull down the line. Never thought of him. Think the WR we took is a find. Didnt know him but looks to have a lot to like. Never would have taken Anderson because I think he is not athletic enough but after hearing from him...I like him more and more. Great guy.

With the way it fell this would have been my EXACT draft as well. This is really the only pick I would have changed though. I think the front office did a hell of a job this off season. In both FA and the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Dalvin Cook if he fell to their pick in the 2nd. I would have loved if they successfully traded up for Rueben Foster. I wanted a nose so I liked Dalvin Tomlinson and later in in the draft I liked Qualls who the Eagles ended up getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Jake Butt over Nicholson in round 4. That's probably my only complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Lumber Co. Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Not getting a nose, specifically Qualls is my only complaint with this draft. We literally nailed everything else and just have my fingers crossed Tomsula will be able to "make" a NT out of someone we have between Phil Taylor, Mbu, AJ Francis, and Ondre Pipkins. If we can get an average starter at the position for first and 2nd down I'll be happy, especially considering how nasty our 4 DL front looks on paper.

Morneblade Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Complete lack of any NT in the draft. I'm starting to hate our FO with it's lack or respect for the need to stop the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommDownMan Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 As people will see from my overdraft in the mock draft, I'm sad we didn't pick up Josh Tupou, the NT out of Colorado. He's a UDFA that a signed with the Bengals, so there is still a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Davis for 2 years and Reed, we could have afforded to let Butt heal at his own speed. Also, Desmond King in the 5th instead of Moreau or Nicholson in early rounds. I wish we could have grabbed Vincent Taylor in the 6th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Tomlinson who went to the Giants Quals who went to the Eagles. Where'd Eddie Jackson end up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemocystem Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I would have taken Cunningham at 49, & Stevie T, or Carlos Watkins in place of a later pick. Otherwise...pretty spot on. No real complaints, just what i would have done differently. I don't even dislike the Anderson pick because it makes sense...it's a solid pick imo. Just would have been absolutely over the moon if we had also added Cunningham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins2victory Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Chris Wormley went to the Ravens at the 10th pick in the 3rd. I was hoping for a trade up to grab him when he slid as low as he did. All in all great draft though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommDownMan Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm going to add Foster to my list. As much as I hate trading future picks, I think it would have been worth next years first and at least the 3rd this year. Had we gone Allen, Foster and Anderson (if we kept the second) that might have been Alabama overkill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 As an interesting aside, when I did this in 2014, the list of "should have gotten that guy" was MILES longer than this year. I will compile into the OP later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 No real complaints with our top four picks in the draft. Think it was a great draft overall to be fair. Maybe at a push Carlos Watkins with our second 4th rounder. DT, Clemson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy with the guy we got at #1 but like Skinsinparadise I thought we should have moved up to get R. Foster, right after we drafted our #1 before the 2nd round. I thought the Giants were getting him and I was surprised they went TE. Giants going all out to throw the ball. Getting Allen and Foster would mean we could have had 2 top 10 defenders in the 1st round. Our D stinks and why were we hesitant? I would have liked us to be more aggressive when there were so many good defenders available. I was also surprised we did not get a NT. Not impressed with Eagles 1st rd pick as it seemed to me they just got a replacement for the guy they lost to FA. I think I like the Eagle and Giant RB picks, pos better than our guy. Hope I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxJoe Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 With our 2nd pick in the 4th round, I would rather have drafted an interior lineman to play Nose (or, at least play some rotational Nose) instead of Montae Nicholson. Ryan Glasgow (6'3" 302#) from Michigan would've been my favorite candidate as he plays the interior very well and could add 15#-20#. Glasgow was drafted by the Bengals 16 picks later at 34. Carlos Watkins from Clemson was also available but he carries some bad weight and doesn't exhibit the power compared to Glasgow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
