Official 2022 NFL Draft Day 3 Thread

So Dean wasn’t higher on your big boards? What was he ranked then?

It was clear that Dean was a medical DQ as I have now stated multiple times. Sometimes a medical issue lowers a player from where the player might otherwise go. Other times, the player is completely off the board. If our team's medical staff says "do not take this guy, he has a medical issue," I do not fault Telesco for not taking him.

NFLN reported that Dean's medical issue was a major issue for many teams. I did not see Dean as a healthy faller at all.

By contrast, there was no mention of Jones having any such issues. He just fell unexpectedly. That is why he was clearly the BPA when #75 rolled around. That was roughly a full round below his consensus rank and some had him ranked in the first round. In terms of value, it was a repeat of Keenan Allen's situation.

Has 60 plus starts in college, super experienced and polished player, he’s a poor man’s asante samuel but way faster, plays in the slot, good blitzer and has aknack for picking off passes. Also adds value in punt return game!

I hope all of that is true but he was ranked 288th

I have a small vibe that this team was really high on the WRs and then teams knew that. Like 4 teams moved up ahead of us. I wondered a while back if Staley was gushing too hard about these types of guys in the draft. I really felt he was onto one of them. Many close to the team saw it. I love coach but i think he might say too much as it pertains to targets in the draft. Im not saying GMs outclassed TT and left him without one of the 5. I had Dotson way up there also. I just see an OBJ type. Those top 5 WRs were my favorite players lol. So i could just be looking to let off some sorrow that we didnt get one. Love the Zion pick though.

Or maybe he was gushing about them because it was subterfuge? It’s not like we needed a WR after all. It was better to push better positional needs down the board.

He just likes to argue. He'll find a position that is contrarian to the majority on the board and keep arguing the point over and over, to death. I don't think he really believes the stuff he writes, he just gets off on arguing with everybody, it's his sole purpose for being on the forum. I never engage him.

Maybe I need to just try and ignore him, I get pissed when he repeats the same lame arguments in very thread. And when he attributes things to me when I didn't post them.

7th round is pretty much all guys that could have been UDFAs, it is the last round after all.

true...but you dont have to compete for other teams for them.... so that is why I wonder why they traded away 2 of them instead of taking fliers on a couple more players that might impress..... if there is a 25% chance of success.... 4 picks means one of the 7th makes an impact..... quantity can help especially if we have history of missing on guys... lol

What part of we could have drafted a strong P and instead drafted a weak DL player after failing to draft a great DL player when we had the chance to do so do you not understand?

You really are a one trick pony and that one trick is getting very old.

Did I ever say we didn't need another punter? No I didn't. As far as your analysis of players, go look at some more big boards, maybe you will get a clue.

Are you naturally dense or do you have to work at it?

A fast development CB. Might be a ST person, most likely PS if he is retained.

I say he makes the team...... all our CB's from last year not named Samuels or Davis could be easily cut...... When other teams threw at them, that was an instant first down or score.... all too slow and previous coaches picks.....

Staley wants a new blazing fast ball hawking defense.... you have to be fast today to cover without creating penalties.... if you are not fast enough you are forced to hold or leave guys wide open....

Wrong. Dean's injury issues were well publicized. As I have long since already explained, I cut our team some slack on Dean, figuring that he was a medical DQ (not even on our board).

That is why I stated the Jones was the BPA by a wide margin.

So Dean wasn’t higher on your big boards? What was he ranked then?

TT has spent first round picks on injury risks like Derwin and Verrett, I don’t think injuries automatically take guys off his board.

Where was Dean on your consensus boards? I’m wagering higher than 44? Where’s your anger that we didn’t select him at 79? This isn’t about value, because the value of Dean at 79 would have outstripped the value of Jones at 75 especially when you factor in the additional cost of trading up (with a divisional foe so it’s an even higher cost). This is you being sad we didn’t get the guy you wanted.
