DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2022 NFL Draft Thread: Day 2

[JMC00]

anyone whining about the trade up just look at the run on WRs 4 of the last 5 picks

 

[PlainOldEd]

I would think that they must have had intel that someone was going to take him or they would have waited. Last year people wanted them to trade up for a QB, but they had intel that Mac would fall to them so they stood pat. I can't see why they would trade up unless they thought he's be gone.
Just because some Analyst said he was a 4-5 round guy doesn't mean it is true.

 

[Deus Irae]

Well, no. That's like saying it's "well deserved" to rank New England first in the league last year.

Yeah, except it's absolutely nothing like that.

The event being "graded" is his draft position. It turned out to be no. 50, which is in the 2nd round. The 4th round grade is wrong.

Not how it works. You know that.

 

[stcjones]

Just Hope Mac have the arm to get it to him I love the Pick.

Good point….Mac has been working out ….his arm strength needs to improve to bomb it to that guy!…..Wish Thornton well obviously but damn he is skinny!

 

[JarOfMayo51]

well the Pats definitely just started a run on WRs lol

 

[skinnydog]

Wow these picks will be conquered for Years Pickens Vs Thornton.
Knowing the Steelers track record I don’t feel great about it

How do you know the Steelers would not have gone for Thornton?

 

[PatsFan2]

Good pick for Chiefs Skyy Moore

 

[Joey007]

These WR’s are all gonna flourish aren’t they? Yet another chapter in the painful history of BB drafting WR’s.

 

[JarOfMayo51]

Parker and Thornton round that WR group out nicely

 

[nowayback]

Who was his QB? How many of those catches did he have to high point, dive, turnaround, slow down and catch?!

Bohanon, Sharpen

 

[The Gr8est]

So, would everybody be happy if the Pats won the consensus on draft day and never saw another SB win?

Don't get too caught up in what the "experts" think.

 

[Love The Drake]

It’s going to be interesting to compare the careers.
The run on receivers is live.
What picks do we have left?

 

[Since1960]

Who??!!

 

[skinnydog]

Why didn’t we take Alec Pierce BB!?

Glad they did not

 

[TheBeers]

Thorton highlight tape is impressive, he's got good size and hands. His body type and playing style kinda remind me of Randy Moss, just a smidge smaller.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

One thought: worth noting that BB traded up four spots to get a WR, and three of the next four picks are WRs.

I have no idea if anyone one else was coveting Thornton, but it does suggest they saw a likelihood he wouldn't be there at 54.

 

[JarOfMayo51]

nice pick for Arizona

 

[patsfan13]

Bill nailed it that he needed to move up to get a receiver. The problem is he can’t draft em

Go root for the Jets they killed the draft, say hi to Bob Jensen for us.

 

[billdog3484]

With the Chiefs also going WR did Bill jump up to 50 to stop them getting a new WR with Hill speed?

Thornton is fast, but he is too long to be quick. He’s like bethel Johnson

 

[gtfanboy]

Harry needs to get cut tomorrow.
