Unless the Steelers have Kwity Paye or Caleb Fairley ranked higher, it’s looking increasingly likely that Najee Harris will be the pick at 24.

Wait for the biggest boo of the night when Goodell announces that pick.

Of the RB's personally I prefer Etienne but there's certainly no doubt the Steelers need to get better in the running game.

With how the board is playing out the Vikes trade back is possibly one of the best moves of the night.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Alabama could set the most 1st round picks Miami currently hold it at 6 and Alabama still has two potential 1st rounders to go in Barmore and Harris

 

[Tom_CUFC]

Ugh, was hoping Paye would drop as he was one of the ones I'd have taken at 14. Darrisaw the other, so expect him to go now.

 

[kieran_vale]

Farley off the board now. Fills a need for the Titans. Could be a steal talentwise but those back surgeries would make me nervous.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Farley to the Titans really good pick there hoping he would of slided in range for us to make a move.

 

[kieran_vale]

There you go, Vikes trade back and still get a stud like Darrisaw. Nicely done.

 

[Tom_CUFC]

Cool, happy with that, as I said would have taken him at 14. Probably would have gone Rousseau over him, but not much in it. Not sexy but smart, and we got something in return. Use 2 of those 3s to get into round 2 tomorrow.

 

[Aberstone]

As expected then, now need to draft some interior linemen tomorrow.

 

[kieran_vale]

It's an immediate upgrade at the position for Pittsburgh. Good news is there is plenty of O-Line depth through the draft.

The one I'm going to be very interested in now is Green Bay. Will they draft someone to try and placate Rodgers such as Rashod Bateman?

 

[pride_of_notts]

Travis Etienne joining up with Lawrence surprised given how good Robinson was for the Jags.

 

[Tom_CUFC]

Hi, I'm James Robinson and I ran for 1,000+ yards last year, as a rookie, why are you drafting a RB in round 1?

Good player, good for Lawrence, but odd.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Yeah the Jags had a lot more pressing needs than drafting a running back don't really get it at all especially as Robinson was really good.

 

[Tom_CUFC]

Man, I love Bateman. I think Tyler Johnson is going to breakout at TB, probably not for another year because of the depth there, but he was a steal. Bateman was better in that 2019 Minnesota team though that should have got into the playoffs, would have gone higher if he hadn't opted out then come back into a poorer team he would have gone higher.

 

[Tom_CUFC]

Oh boy, I love that pick!

Denver looks nice Aaron...

 

[kieran_vale]

I'm going on a limb that this might not lighten Rodgers mood.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Rousseau happy with that felt we should of gone Edge or Corner

 

[Tom_CUFC]

Big fan of that Buffalo pick, I'd have had him at 14.

 

[kieran_vale]

Rousseau is an absolute giant. The Bills front office keep getting it right.

 

[kieran_vale]

No DT taken on day one then. Not sure when that last happened. Would say it's an accurate reflection of the talent in this draft though.

Other one have got my eye on is Asante Samuel Jnr. We have a potential issue after this year as no guarantee that Gilmore and JC Jackson would still be on the roster so if he is around for our pick I'd pull the trigger.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Asante Samuel is a good pick somebody I would like as well some really interesting Day 2 guys Koramoah for me is top of the list of players available Barmore should go early as well given there is a lack of DT in this draft For the Bills in the 2nd I would like Javonte Williams add some talent in at Running back or Asante Samuel if he falls.

 

[kieran_vale]

Apparently Miami were trying to get back into the first to take Najee Harris before Pittsburgh went there. Would hazard a guess that Javonte Williams will be a priority for them today.

Some serious talent at receiver still. Amari Rodgers, Elijah Moore and Terrace Marshall all still available. The way the board has played out has pushed some really good players downwards.

For us I suspect the Pats after pick 46 are not scheduled again until 96 (Brady comp pick) so may look to trade back to narrow that gap. Seems a BB thing to do but then again he has defied convention a fair bit already this offseason.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Yeah it is still a good receiver class not as deep as last year which was a ridiculous class lots of contributors as rookies I like the look of Rondale Moore if we are looking at slot but I don't expect we will be going receiver until day 3 if we do.

 

[kieran_vale]

Yeah unless there's someone who it is just so egregious you have to take him I don't think it's a pressing need for the Bills. Rondale Moore is a very good shout though.

Will be interested in the second tier of QB's today. Suppose Denver may well be in for a Kellen Mond type and reset the clock on the Drew Lock experiment and maybe the WFT. If I am drafting a developmental QB like a Davis Mills then there is nobody better to learn behind than Fitz.

 

[pride_of_notts]

I would agree Wide receiver is a very low need for us think day 2 we will be looking at O line, Running back, Corner or maybe Linebacker if someone really falls

 

[kieran_vale]

Really do not like to see Elijah Moore going to the Jets. This is an unfortunately excellent pick.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Wish they traded with the Cowboys they have had a really solid draft generally doing things what they should of done with Darnold.

 

[kieran_vale]

At least Denver doing that keeps Javonte Williams out of our division as am sure Miami would have taken him next up. Be about the first thing to go against any of the AFCE in this draft.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Javonte Williams for the Broncos knew he would not last long into the 2nd

 

[kieran_vale]

Hmm if you’re taking a safety I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be Moehrig. That’s a BB special reaching on a safety in the 2nd round.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Really surprising Moehrig should of been the 1st Safety off the Board.
