Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

So far so gud but we need D-Line and RB help today. And wow, a ton of solid guys left at both positions.

This is a good list:[url]https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2016/04/29/draft-top-50-available-prospects-for-day-3-of-2016-nfl-draft/[/url]

Would love Billings, Sheldon day or the kid from Texas for the dline.

RB has extremely solid options left.

Looks like the depth at both these spots will payoff today. HTTR!

Damn, you're up early. My brains hurts from last night's festivities.

For me, if Billings slides again, NOW we take him. I'd be OK forgoing an RB or whatever else they're talking about to get him.

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

Keep sticking to the board!

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

Why we took a corner and not a DT in the third really blows my mind.
How many elephants are in this room?
If we dont get one in the 4th I'm going to start to wonder about McClue.

Fuller had a borderline first round grade so I think that was the driving factor. I keep thinking back to last year when we had all those injuries in the secondary.

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

Here's my shopping list for today:

One DL from:

1. Billings
2. Hassan Ridgeway
3. Sheldon Day
4. Willie Henry
5. D.J. Reader
6. Matt Ionnidis

One RB from:

1. Kenneth Dixon
2. Jordan Howard
3. Daniel Lasco

One Developmental QB from:

1. Kevin Hogan
2. Nate Sudfield

One safety from:

1. Jayron Kearse
2. Jeremy Cash
3. Jordan Mills
4. Deon Bush

One OL from:

1. Christian Westerman (Move to C)
2. Vadal Alexander (G)
3. Landon Turner (G)

If we trade down for any additional picks, I would also like one very fast and shifty punt and kick returner (I don't care if he can't do anything else).

wow cook to raiders..

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

tapper is a good player. good pick for dallas

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

i assume we grab a dt 4th and rb later. i'd like to know what the deal is with billings... did something not check out or did the fanalysts just have him way too high or what... maybe it's just that 2 down players are being given very low values.

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

As I said in the 2-3 round pick thread, we have got to get serious about stopping Dallas' running attack now that they have Zeke Elliot. So far I have seen nothing suggested that McC appreciates that need.

He is going best player available. We are not drafting for need. Love what we're doing.

Exactly.

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

there goes ridgeway

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

Traded the pick.

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

They must know something about Billings that's scared them off.. no reason not to take him there and plug up the middle of that DL..

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

Traded down and New Orleans is light on picks, only a 5th and 7th left this year. Weak sauce

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

wow, billings there and we traded out of the round completely.

2nd pick is in 2017 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[B]WTF ?[/B]

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

Got their 5th this year and next, pretty disappointing when some really good talent is still on the board right now especially at RB.

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

Reminding myself right now.. "In Scot We Trust.. In Scot We Trust.."

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

And the Bengals take Billings..

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

In Scot we trust ?

Billings is now gone

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

So we dropped back 38 spots this year, and added a pick next year? A lot of talent can go off the board in 38 draft spots.

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

[quote=RedskinJake;1143108]And the Bengals take Billings..[/quote]

I think at this pick it was pretty clear we didn't want Billings. There are a lot of solid players left (not stars).

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

I love Scot but that trade [B]sucked[/B]!

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

They didn't like him, pretty easy to figure, and so he we passed.

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

we have a 5th, 6th, and 2x 7ths remaining in this draft, plenty of talent still there.

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

there goes Deon Bush

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

So 9 picks next year... I suppose he's stocking up for more bodies to replace the pending free agents?

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

4th for a 5th and a future 5th (current value 6th) is pretty weak unless the saints are terrible this year. maybe we wanted hassan and once he was taken we opted out? i'm interested to hear what happened with billings. there's got to be a reason he dropped so far.

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

Not questioning the strategy, but I am confused by it. We have needs now, trading for extra 5th rounders next year doesn't seem to help. I figured even if we didn't think a DT fit there, we could have gone with a good RB or a C/G.

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

Wow....trading completely out of the 4th round. Wtf??? C'mon Scot! We just have to remember that for SM he likes a lot of picks. He's thinking he can get quality players in the later rounds. Gotta trust him in this, even though we may not agree with it.

[quote=los panda;1143115]we have a 5th, 6th, and 2x 7ths remaining in this draft, plenty of talent still there.[/quote]

To me, 6th and 7th round picks are craps shoots. And I couldn't care less about getting mid-round picks next year. We could have picked a very good player in that spot and now we just moved down practically a full round without any additional picks this year. Scot said he wanted 12 picks this year but instead he has picked up two late picks for next year. I am not at all impressed with his draft trades.

[quote=los panda;1143115]we have a 5th, 6th, and 2x 7ths remaining in this draft, plenty of talent still there.[/quote]

actually it is two 5ths

Which might explain the trade, Scot is drinking again.

Agreed.. I thought Billings would go in the first half of RD3.. Strong kid, no character issues, large body to plug the middle of the DL.. Will need to be coached up but could be a reliable starter for Cincinnati in a year or two..

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

I think you have to look at SM's past going back to when he was w/SF. He's grabbed numerous talented players over the years in the late rounds.

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

there went Evan Boehm

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

There goes Willie Henry.

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

there goes Kenneth Dixon.

Re: Day 3 NFL Draft 2016 Rounds 4-7
 

This trade sucked. If we were going to trade out of the 4th at least secure an extra 4th next year. This trade benefits them, not us.
