Hooooooly vibes I did not expect this! TLaw and Travis together. For me, the best RB in the class, and with James Robinson we have a huge running back room. The bloke is basically complete and I'm very happy with this even if we need a bit of help elsewhere. Woo.
And that's me done for the night!
Was wondering what you’d think on that, from the outside looking in it seems a weird pick with Robinson and Hyde on the roster.
Another surprise and I think he's better than most draft "experts" or indeed amateurs think: there are lots lower on him than me. I think he has good angles of attack and decent enough fundamentally with his feet to go well from day one. Room to improve - but the same goes for all offensive linemen!
I saw him projected to us in one of the very early mock drafts but then nothing.
Not over enamoured but I suppose we have to protect Aaron Rogers as best we can 😉

I don’t know Pads.
Will this dilute rather than strengthen the RB room
A great pick for a team that didn’t already have James Robinson bit I think you don’t get the best out of either in a committee situation.
Surprised it wasn't Travis Etienne! The bloke is a class RB but maybe isn't quite a change-of-pace back. Not that that matters if he can bulldoze his way through and get extra yards as he did in college. A great running back but the question remains as to whether a first-round pick on a RB is wise given how the league is shifting in outlook. But, he'll be a good fantasy pick!
Is it me or is there a definite shift to drafting talent positions this year. An anomaly due to a great QB/WR class this year or are the guys in the trenches now considered better value later on in the draft. Better to swing and miss on a QB/WR than miss out on ‘the one’ than go safe with the big guys?
Lance!!!!! Oh my days. That was some awesome smokescreening. Like that pick a lot to be fair.
With the first two picks being seemingly set in stone, I don’t see the need for the smokescreen when picking 3.
I think they really were in for Jones and then got serious cold feet about him.
Does sit out Lance have enough experience to justify a 3 pick having basically only played one season ?
Well, if it's a choice between two QBs (theoretically) then it'd affect how the rest of the board falls. I assume the 49ers were playing a game to directly affect their divisional rivals, but I don't know. There must be reasoning behind it.
I think Lance has all the tools to be great - though it's a huge risk.
Tell you what if the Broncos do get Rodgers, then fine, if not this has been a massive waste of a draft pick when Justin Fields was there for the taking.
Thanks for covering the picks last night Paddy! Looking forward to tonight, Cowboys did very well to pick up Parsons while grabbing a third from the Eagles in the process.
Four picks tonight for Dallas. Hoping we can begin addressing that secondary. Lots of good day two talent to get stuck into.

Yes I was surprised Broncos passed on Fields there and took Dallas' no.1 target instead. Glad we were able to pivot away from pick 10, pick up the third round pick and still get our plan B target in Parsons.

Better we did get Parsons and Jerry leaves the Offense alone!
Whew, that gives Kirk something to think about , it’ll be nice to have a decent backup QB and potentially a QB of the future in a decent spot to develop for a season or 2!
Some pretty strange picks from the Vikings today, I think fans were hoping for a WR3 contender and we’ve seen plenty of potential options come off the board so far.
Trey Smith is a massive name to watch, just gone to the Chiefs in the 6th but would have gone MUCH earlier if it wasn’t for serious medical issues. He has suffered from blood clots in his lungs which has made him fall massively. Could be a very good guard if it works out.
After picking up a QB in the first round, BB went back to his old pragmatic ways with the rest of his picks for the Pats, focusing on the line and grabbing a customary Michigan Wolverine

Excited about Fields too, but you never know with Bears and QBs. Admittedly he was very good when I watched him vs Clemson last year.
