1st Round, Pick #31, Germain ifedi, Tackle, Texas A&M

[Basis4day]

We needed him but I can't get excited at all for this, passed up myles jack and gave arizona Nkemdiche we are going to regret this for a decade.

Every team passed on Jack. Some twice.

Cool. He can play G and T? At the same time? That really must be some wingspan!

Interesting pick. Glad they grabbed an OL though.

It's getting great grades as well, if that helps at all: http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades1.php

There must be something wrong with Jack that the public doesn't know, but the Nkemdiche thing is inexcusable, the highlights they showed of Ifedi were terrible, Nkemdiche is a stud if they thought they couldn't handle his off the field issues than we have serious leadership problems.

Well today they were saying Jack may need microfracture surgery and teams fear he may not see a second contract.

Still pissed off we traded our pick and got burned by the 49es who then drafted Joshua Garnett who I really wanted the Hawks to draft. Really not impressed by our draft pick. He looks slow and I can see him get beat a lot at the pro level. Its already bad our OL holds a lot and from watching his tapes he looks like a "grabby" kind of blocker.

That would do it. Plus, there's only so many "project long-shot chances" a team can take, no matter how great their front office and locker room leadership is.

Trust in Cable. The future of this league is finding athletic tackles that can handle the Von Millers and Khalil Macks of the NFL. The FO wouldn't have drafted this guy if they didn't think he could be coached up. Hell every player picked today needs coaching to a certain extent.

Wow. Rob Staton just won the interwebz. He called the trade down and Ifedi like a month ago.

Why are some complaining? Maybe because OL is a deep position this year and there would have been a lot of quality left to choose from with our 2nd and 3rds. I was hoping for Bullard to help on the DL. He won't last to our second and DL really drops off after him, IMO.

Still, it's hard to complain when you get an athlete like Ifedi at your position of greatest need. Hopefully he can learn some technique.

Nkemdiche is better than Ifedi, we got worse today relatively.

 

[theincrediblesok]

One thing I have seen from his youtube highlights is he works very well with a mobile QB. He seems to know when to move when his QB leaves the pocket.

 

[Seahawk Sailor]

Trust in Cable is right. Looks like he had a hand in this.

this was a great move. ifedi is a solid pick AND we raked Denver over the coals and got a 3rd round pick in a super deep draft. this was well done.

Perhaps we could have traded the 26th pick for 27th through 30th and then everyone on this board could be happy for once.

I'll take Ifedi and a 3rd though. That's good enough for me.

Arizona is the division champion, they got a better player than us that is going to compete against the player we drafted and kill him, we got worse today relatively, we didn't have to do that. This may change if we hit on the 1/100 odds that are a 3rd round pick but I think we'd been better off taking a sure thing.
