Official Live Draft Discussion Thread

[TopekaRoy]

I thought rather than starting a new thread every time a team trades up or down, or makes a surprising pick, we could have all the draft discussion in one thread.

The Browns traded up to 3 to get Trent Richardson. What did the Vikings get in return?

33. Rams -- Brian Quick, WR, Appalachian State

Russel Wilson is picking up his phone ... it is our pick ... hmm.

[jap1]

Donald Stephenson, OT, Oklahoma is our 3rd round pick.

[TopekaRoy]

Tackle Donald Stephenson!

Thoughts?

[matthewschiefs]

Really working on the O line I love it

[brdempsey69]

Guess what !! The Chiefs took another O-Lineman -- Donald Stephenson, T, Oklahoma.

I love it. Nearly 1/2 a ton of BEEF with the top 3 picks. LOL !!

Many of us wanted them to address the O-Line and they answered the call in rounds 2 and 3. :-)

Wow!

[jap1]

Wow!

There are some people who think that with a year of tutoring, Jeff Allen could be a starting LT. I wonder if they are ready to not resign Albert after this year. Put Allen at LT and Stephenson at LG? I doubt that is there plan, since Stephenson's knock is that he is too light. He would get bull rushed by bigger DLs.

I just think Stephenson is going to be the backup swing tackle. Allen/Lilja will be the backup OG, and I think Lilja has experience at C, so he could be the backup C.

Depth in case someone gets hurt, flexibility to put the 5 best linemen on the field and options if we lose Albert and or Lilja. I like it.

Stephenson was a surprise, which also tells me they probably arent too keen on Mims as an OT. Right now I see us keeping 8 OL on the team:

Albert/Allen/Hudson/Asamoah/Winston

Reserves:
Stephenson (OT)
Lilja (G/C)
Mims (G)

That is unless we get a reserve C later in the draft.
