2021 NFL Draft thread - Day 2 discussion - Rounds 2 and 3

[Thorgrim]

In all fairness Ballard has done quite well in the past so I’ll reserve judgement but I do have serious concerns.

Dam do you have any hair left or did you pull it all out?

Still have plenty of hair, but starting to doubt Ballard's eye for edges. Hopefully these guys prove me wrong.

I’m reading this and I’m reminded of Ghostbusters


Dr. Peter Venkman:
This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.

Mayor:
What do you mean, "biblical"?

Dr Ray Stantz:
What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff.

Dr. Peter Venkman:
Exactly.

Dr Ray Stantz:
Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling.

Dr. Egon Spengler:
Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes...

Winston Zeddemore:
The dead rising from the grave.

Dr. Peter Venkman:
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.


Unpucker your a holes, it will be fine.

They will move Smith. Finding a RT isnt as hard. Hells bells play a TE on the right and run the ball and go RPO or just straight play action. This isnt Armafricken gedon

If this is true it was a suckers bet.

I agree about trading but with us lacking a 3rd round pick and covid concerns it may not have been in the cards.

If Ballard had really liked on of these tackles we would have had him. Dude moves up when he wants to. He plays the long game, using a second on a guy who wont get his explosion back until 2022 or 23. He did say way back that he likes linemen.

Replacing Costanzo was priority #1 yet we chose to replace Houston and Autry. Ballard tried to get cute this should’ve been a fuckin slam dunk

Couldn't agree more. We lose our starting LT to retirement at conveniently the deepest LT draft class in history and fail to replace him. Fucking Turrible.
