2023 NFL Draft Thread

I do not get the Twitter crowd who wants to draft a RB(Robinson) at 16.
Just crazy talk….

I’d be pretty happy with that

He's just making the normal rounds with teams, Saints, Giants, Bucs, Texans, Washington, wouldn't put much stock in it, also 25 years old already with an injury

O'Cyrus Torrence is a name to remember...

What Are O'Cyrus Torrence's 4 Best NFL Team Fits?

Florida offensive guard O’Cyrus Torrence is one of the cleanest prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft. Torrence was outstanding ...

WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
The Commanders also hosted Torrence on a private Top 30 visit. New Commanders associate head coach and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is being tasked with fielding a more effective offense in our nation’s capital. Bieniemy is searching for immediate contributors as a result.

The Commanders are expected to kick Sam Cosmi to guard after signing Andrew Wylie to play right tackle. Cosmi isn’t an experienced guard. Veteran left guard Andrew Norwell is also entering a contract year. General manager Martin Mayhew should add insurance to the position. Torrence checks a lot of boxes.

Cutting Norwell with a POST June-1 Designation saves $4.34M against the cap... FYI

Be Ok with drafting Hooker as a developmental QB.

At the end of next season, if you're not in love with Howell, you can always get a Hooker.........

As long as 'developmental' doesn't translate into taking the guy in the 2nd or 3rd round

Kiper's latest 2 round draft

16. Joey Porter Jr - CB Penn St
47: Blake Freeland - OT - BYU

Dane Brugler’s draft guide for The Athletic has Freeland rated as the #13 ranked OT.

‘Overall, Freeland’s inexperience and the lesser- developed aspects of his game (leverage points, play strength, etc.) will be exposed by NFL talent, but he has the feet, length and upside to warrant being a mid- round draft pick. He is a work in progress who should eventually compete for an NFL team’s No. 3 tackle spot and potentially more.’

GRADE: 5th Round

This is where I’ve seen him rated a lot. Elite body… the rest… not so much

I hope Mel was drinking at the time. Oy.

I am curious how fans would react if we were to trade back to late in the 1st or early 2nd and grabbed Hooker? Personally, I would struggle with that - unless, as Om frequently says, they truly believe he's the next great QB. I'm guessing this is smokescreen as much as anything.
