Official 2016 NFL Draft - Round 1 Thread

[Warren]

So two out of Treadwell, Doctson, Robinson, and Reed will be there. Not bad at all.

[Warren]

Or at least one. Wasn't a math major.

[Blitzwood]

If we don't trade down, which I was hoping for, it's Kevin Dodd, Doctson, Treadwell, Will Fuller, or Robinson. Lee would be great, as would Ragland and Ogbah, but unlikely.

Dodd or a good receiver would be awesome.

Looking at WR Doctson, Thomas, Treadwell, and Shepard. A trade down would make sense.

[Warren]

I guess their board shows a much more clear cut choice than any of ours...

[HPF Bob]

Did we trade up with the Skins?

Yes. It's funny, we spent all this time talking about trading down and maybe never talked about trading up.

[Blitzwood]

Here we go!
Fuller, nice pick!#

[Nconroe]

Fuller is ligit 4.32 speed. 30 TD at ND. Not bad.

[Keith]

A home run threat on every snap. A nice complement with Hopkins and Strong. Big investment to the offense which needed speed in the offseason and now have it with the additions of Fuller and Lamar Miller.

You want to know another receiver with questions about his hands out of college?

"I wouldn't label him a 'body catcher,' because he does grab the ball out in front of him, but he doesn't look really that natural (as a receiver)," said one personnel director. "He doesn't have those real, soft hands, you know?"

That's from an ESPN article in 2003 about Andre Johnson.

Will Fuller. Speedster with bad hands. 21 drops last year.

[chuck]

The Texans obviously liked this guy a lot more than any other receiver that was out there. I like that they went and got the guy they wanted rather than settling for whoever was left.

They still need someone to return kicks.

[HPF Bob]

We moved up and lost a sixth rounder in2017.

[Arky]

I like it. Speed, baby.

Get him working with D-Hop to straighten him out re: drops...............

[Blitzwood]

I saw several Notre Dame games, and this kids talent jumps off the screen.

[Roy P]

We traded up? Ugh. Please be Doctson.

[Roy P]

Really? Dotson and Treadwell are available and you get Fuller? 4.3 speed with 4.8 hands. Trading down and getting Shepard would have been a better option in my opinion. Oh well. Hope he's not a shorter version of Darius Hayward-Bey or last year's carbon copy of Devin Smith.

For the Record.....if I could not have traded down, I would have selected Josh Doctson at #22.

[Warren]

Fwiw O'Brien recruited Fuller while at Penn St. but didn't get him.

The Skins take Doctson at #22. I wonder if they would have taken him @ #21 without the trade. Then, I would have taken Michael Thomas or traded down. Surprised that Laquon Treadwell is still available too. Very interesting.

[Roy P]

25 picks in and I am still looking at Michael Thomas, Jarran Reed, Bronson Kaufusi, Sterling Shepard, Kevin Dodd, Carl Nassib, Jason Spriggs, Vernon Butler, Kenny Clark, A'Shawn Robinson, and Paxton Lynch. The Broncos just traded up for....
