2015 NFL Draft Live Viewing Thread

Not sure why, but all of a sudden I'm convinced this is Thompson's best draft ever.

It might sound a little more credible if he hadn't fuked up the position for the last decade. ILB has been TT's Achilles Heal.

Defensive Line too. 

Didn't you say GB should trade picks to move up for Borland last year?

1.  They don't post for almost 4 months, and then when they do, it's to crap all over Thompson's draft.  

       
       
That Super Bowl was a real embarassment.

The ILBs weren't very good even in the Super Bowl. Thy got a lot of pressure from Matthews and Jenkins (and even from Raji) but Bishop was limited and Hawk,was, well, Hawk. 

Just out of curiosity, who will be our ILB starters this year? I was kind of happy when TT cut our starters from last season, but naturally I assumed that they would be replaced.

All is not lost. 

Ben Heeney, a Borland sized ILB with "tremendous" instincts, (per Ourlads), and 4.56/40 speed is still on the board.

TT has one last chance to redeem himself. 

 

They will be replaced....hopefully with a upgrade.

No one.  He's gonna play with only 9 on D.  To save money.

 

 

       
       
So we won a SB with ILBs weren't that good and we still won. We're still getting a lot of pressure from Matthews and Peppers ain't too shabby either. Top 10
In sacks in 2014 even with crappy ILBs.

Nah...I think we all know by now we are not worthy to judge TT on anything he's done. Don't take yourself so serious. You don't know jax sheet either.

 

Just bustin TT's balls a little. All in good fun.

 

Chris sakes I aint talkin hockey, give me that. 

Last I checked the season doesn't start until September.

Jesus, that's an army of strawmen there.

 

 

Don't know much 'bout history...

 

To recap. Other than Nicks Pick 6, Jordys TD, Jennings 2 TDs, or Rodgers play. Thats two more TT LB picks that diagnosed a play and turned a SB around. 

 

Damn shame Ted can't draft health. 

 

 

So Matthews and Jenkins playing well made Hawk good? Or they should play with crap ILBs because Matthews and Peppers are on the team? Walden was playing well during the run also, surprisingly, and the d-backs were on fire. And Hawk still sucked, deal with it.

 

i liked Bishop, but he wasn't good in space. I would have liked to see how he would have paired with Barnett or another ILB who could run. Bishop was a short-area thumper.

You don't say.

 

History is a tough subject. It's not for everyone. 

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how this draft is designed to mess with Micah Hyde in some way.  

Motivational speech for Micah

 

 

 Thanks for proving my point. The guy wasn't fast and had to shoestring tackle on a dive. Bishop was a pretty sound tackler and that was not his style. He rarely dropped out of the short area because he lacked speed. He was tough in the box, outside, not so much. It would have been better had they paired him with someone who could run and cover, they could have complemented each other, but instead it was Hawk.

Ted is trying to make a point to Mike that he won't draft a linebacker until Mike hires a real coach.

 

And to screw with Micah Hyde

F#CK.q... Micah Hyde

 

Ray Lewis, Ray Nitschke & Dick Butkus are not eligible for this draft. I'm sorry your feewings are hurt because TT didn't address your perceived needs at ILB'er. Let me know the next time we can create a player out of thin air & draft him.

 

Oh BTW....Carl Bradford says F#CK.q too

 

That's awesome.

I don't think it is irrational to be concerned about ILB.  With Clay Matthews' injury history, I don't think he's going to like all the activity at his legs that this position warrants.  Matthews play when he is nicked up drops greatly.   I don't want him there as often as he was at the end of last year.  That said, I believe in TT and stop well short of some of the douchey criticism in this thread.  

Here's the thing about ILB, we don't know wtf we have. I liked what I saw from Barrigton, but I was one of those people early in the season that didn't think Barrington was the answer and he came in and made a difference. He wasn't elite, but he was better than what we had. Who is to say he won't take the next step? I didn't think Bradford was going to make it at OLB, but who knows what he can do at ILB...he might also step in and be an improvement. Leaving rounds 1, 2, and 3 without an ILB shouldn't be considered a failure or a mistake...we might have our ILB's already on the roster. We might not have them, but passing on better players to take an ILB would have been a terrible mistake.

Because he's from Iowa? As good a readon as any.

 

It it will be interesting to see which jobs Hyde holds on to. You have to admit, it is almost funny how the first three picks are all guys who do what has been in Hyde's repertoire.

I hate that Garrett Grayson and Sean Mannion are off the board, either would have been ideal in GB to groom behind Rodgers. After those two I don't like any of the QBs, I'd rather stick with Tolzien.

So far I think Ted's approach to no ILBs is to beef up the secondary to pick up missed LB tackles and beef up the passing game to keep up in a shoot out.

Agreed GD, though a UDFA will likely come in to challenge for #3.

 

I'm okay with them passing on Dawson, though I don't care for the Montgomery pick. When I've seen him play he hasn't caught the ball well, nor does he secure it well, though hopefully Bennett can coach him out of the latter. 

Perhaps Hyde is getting promoted to the front office.  He's headed for bigger things.

He's going to finish out his contract on "Special Assignment" in the Human Resources office.

Hateful.

Prediction: Kansas ILB Ben Heeney to GB in r4 or MSU LB Taiwan Jones in r4 or r5. Either one would come in and compete for PT and would be strong ST players. I also like UCF LB Terrance Plummer in the late rounds.
