Pick #35 Malik McDowell, DT, Michigan State

[nash72]

I'm not happy at all. Biggest needs are OL and DB and we missed on King and Robinson. Wtf

Tell me about it.

Love the pick. Pete and John always focus on unique talents. Also, we have essentially no DT pass rushing talent.

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! McDowell was my #1 guy going into this draft! I was chanting his name when the pick came up and they actually took him! They NEVER take the guy I want! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Tell me your ways. I want the Hawks to get Lamp. They NEED line help (everyone knows that). They never, EVER, take the guy I want.

Lol, it was probably a fluke. The last time they took the #1 guy I wanted when the pick came up was Ryan Plackemeier in 2006.

There goes Lamp. What a disaster this is turning out to be.

 

[SeaMeat]

Robinson - gone
Ramczyk - gone
Lamp - gone

WTF?????

 

[Sports Hernia]

Per the ESPN analysts: "McDowell was a vast underachiever at Michigan State". Well..... That's real encouraging :roll:

Mayock was more kind, and said he is a kind of player that works in Pete's system.
I'm a bit disappointed they didn't get King, Baker, or Robinson, but what the hell do I know.

Worst pick of the draft

 

[Rat]

No team has ever complained about having too many pass rushers. This is an awesome pick! Going to look like a steal!

 

[emurri]

I like the pick. He can get to the QB and he is an anchor, I mean he does not get moved easily. This team is not afraid of guys that are a little different and I think we have the guys to help this guy. And we win so he should stay motivated.

We don't have any real talent or depth at DT other than Bennett and he's not getting any younger. They can take a CB or OL with there next pick. McDowell has a ton of potential i'd compare him to a Fletcher Cox type DT .

We know nothing about what they want in their picks. But that still doesn't change the undeniable fact that offensive line help should've been the highest priority. They probably could've gotten Lamp and still traded up for McDowell whole giving up little to do so.

And with the 26th pick: Malik McDowell, Pick 95, 111, 226, and 249.

That's a pretty good pick!

Dont forget about Jefferson.

 

[nategreat]

I'm confused, did we trade down a spot with the Jags? What did we get? Or just for fun?

More picks to hopefully trade up.

 

[Highlordb]

very disappointed. We have much bigger needs in CB, OLine then DE...

 

[nanomoz]

Hmmph. Hard to see him having impact inside of a couple of years.

 

[HawkFan72]

It's pretty clear the Hawks don't like any of the top O-linemen in this draft.

 

[crosfam]

A six.for dropping one pick. For what it's worth, my draft magazine had him as the #2 DT.

Somebody make a call to Scot McCloughan so he can fix this mess.
