Some folks on suicide watch over a 3rd round pick.

I really like Joe and I've had some back and forth with him over the years that was very nice...He's a good dude. He lives in Charlotte and I lived there for 20 years and we've had some cool talks...I told him some fun stories about the good old days at The Township Grille...

 

But he's not always right. It's funny because when he and Bruce Nolan do their "look back at the previous year and what I would have done show" every year...IMHO it's not THAT impressive in hindsight. I do far less film study and feel like I can go toe-to-toe...Not on the breaking down film side...Don't get me wrong. But in projecting who will be good in the NFL, and team building... 

Agreed I just thought it was funny reading that right after hearing what he said. I hope me and Marino are both dead wrong about Williams.

Another small front 7 player... Why is that Beane's obsession?

[Jerboski]

With his speed and coverage ability on obvious passing downs maybe we get him and Milano together

How do you know they wont play? Are you Nostradomus or something?

Fair point. But in the other poster’s defense, it seems very unlikely that both Bernard and Williams play any significant amount of time next year, or probably at all. Obviously that could change if Milano gets hurt, or if one of them fills the big nickel role or something. 
 

We play 2 LBs the vast majority of the time. Milano is an every-down player. That leaves one spot of regular play time between Bernard, Williams, Klein, Dodson, or Spector.

Probably just wants to puss off the crybabies on here

Also a first rd talent guy that maybe you can motivate. Unlike this 5th rd talent that’s undersized and will never ever start 

 

There's "occasionally showing up late to a team meeting" and "skipping practices during an important Senior Bowl week and only doing three drills" like Jones.

Because it's really McD's obsession.

I dont really get the pick, but at this point there arent any players left that I know that well anyways. Like others said, low talent draft. So it's whatever from here on out.

I mean, valid.. we have kickers going in RD3. 
 

I would’ve liked Dawand Jones, but it sounds like scouts literally want to fight him, so there’s that. 
 

Ika would’ve been interesting given our DT contracts. 
 

Would’ve liked a WR like AT Perry, but I sure wont complain if we end up with Hopkins.

Or is it the coaching staff's input and what they want

Milano was scouted by Whaley and his team, which for all their faults, were great at identifying LBs. Just sayin.

Milano was a longshot. No one thought he was set to be all pro or pro bowl

Not in the 3rd, we haven't.

 

Dunno the thought behind this, but I'm confident STs isn't more than the 3rd or 4th consideration here.

No, not in the 3rd, but most years that guy is drafted somewhere, and he flames out

Tell that to London Fletcher.

Lol. London Fletcher was 242. This waste of a pick is 228.

why is the assumption we’re gonna run no additional defensive packages next year and roll out the same D. McDermott as a DC didn’t run the defense that Frazier implemented

Standard procedure, but it's amplified, because we aren't picking for a while

I’d still rather take a shot at that than a useless undersized LB that will run down punts and kicks 8 times a game 

[Warriorspikes51]

Can we trade Bernard for a 4th then? Please? Lol

[Process]

So last year we spent a third round pick on a backup for Milano, and we follow with a third round pick this year on a backup to the backup to Milano?
