NFL Draft ****2017 NFL Draft Thread**** (NO Spoilers) - Page 7

Let's fucking do this.

Rules:
1. No spoiled picks in this thread, all weekend. This means that as tweets are leaking picks a few minutes before the selection is announced live, you don't post it in this thread (ex: embedded tweets), reference it in this thread (ex: Joe Slapdick says it's McCaffrey to Tampa) or hint at it (ex: "it's a RB!").

Don't be a dick.

Otherwise, have fun, talk shit, freak out and lose your goddamned minds. It's Draft Weekend. The hot takes in these threads are so funny.

I'll also be starting threads for each of our picks as they are made, with videos and notable stats/takes in the OP. Pure knee jerk gold to reference in the future.

I agree.

Weak arm.

Slight build.

Some scrambling ability but nothing game breaking.

He's very inaccurate on those deep passes....kinda just seems to chuck them up there....

I keep trying to like Watson but i just don't see it.

The only different about Watson is his confidence/aggressive attitude. All that could disappear in the NFL when money is at stake. If Watson loses even 25% of his aggressiveness he is Alex Smith with a tan.

He is not that accurate, he arm strength disappears if his footwork isn't right. He's a read/option type guy.

I dunno, folks. :-)

:-) Alex is pretty tan from lifting massive boulders in Hawaii in the offseason. Alex is like 7 foot tall now and pushing 350 with all muscles according to reports.

I think he's well liked because he's clutch, and a gamer.

His performance in both NC games were awesome. Being able to perform and deliver/execute under that level of pressure cannot be coached.

The other stuff can be. That's why he would be a great developmental QB.

As for Mahomes, you can't coach his arm strength, swagger, and creativity.

You can (hopefully, if he's receptive) coach up his footwork and decision making.

Alex Smith is well liked by the Chiefs organization.

"clutch" is all controlled by confidence, which can disappear in a heartbeat

Mahomes definitely brings a different aspect to an offense.

If Alex wasn't such scared, gutless vagina we would be super bowl contenders.

Nick Foles was just as conservative in there.

Bullshit. You can't determine that in one ****ing game.

Nick Foles was lucky to barely beat Jacksonville.

Alex is lucky to barely beat half the teams we play each year. You have a point?

Foles sucks. Worse than Alex. But you can't say he was just as conservative as Alex was in this offense based on just one game.

My brother wrestles at Graceland University and one of his buddies entered the draft and they are making a big deal of it there. His name is Kevin Goic...a DB. Since Graceland is a mere couple hours away from KC, I wonder if he's on their radar...probably be an UDFA if he goes anywhere.

No he wasn't.

I think whoever says you don't watch games might just be right.

Foles would go bombs away, he just couldn't hit a fucking air craft carrier
