We can’t get everybody.
The basic rule is Each team only gets one pick per round.
It’s brutal to watch our favorites get taken
but all fans are feeling the same way more or less.
I like the Harris pick. I didn’t have anyone I liked better when we picked there even though I would have just liked to have seen what happened if tacos name got called
Kiper trashed the star DB off the winning national championship team that most teams would not even throw at. I like the pick.
Lots to feel good about guys. 3 5ths tomorrow. See ya then.
Me too, but that’s all I like about them, not the players. Tankersley is a project, he won’t be ready to contribute this year much other than ST, but I will compare him to Dion Sanders though 😉
I think they are gonna use Tankersley on TEs and possession WRs as he is great at jumping their routes for picks. He plays CB like a CF FS. I am hoping he is our Ed Reed type guy. Hey just semi convert him to FS.
More seasoned? Cordrea played in back to back national championships and defended against some of the top teams in the country. Desmond is ok but he is slow.
I really like our picks. Considering where we picked and what we gave up for Carroo, fantastic draft so far. We got talented, experienced help for our awful D. I see these guys all contributing a lot over the next 4 years.
Desmond is a small cover corner, tankersly is a larger press type corner, which is more like what they have been looking for. Also he was a private meeting guy who I heard a bunch of people say that we really liked
Everyone was screaming for Defence.. Well I’m happy so far how the PHINS scouts / coaches and GM got the guys they wanted without trading up and giving up picks.. That’s how it’s done. # ZERO IN !!
So far I think the saints have had the best draft, but I also think the Jets, 9ers, TB, and honestly we are in that group of teams I think have had a good draft. I didn’t count the Brown’s because it’s easy to have a good draft having 3 firsts, but really outside those picks their draft isn’t that good
I think our D has improved the depth tremendously, but I don’t think we’ve had a good draft. Harris should play passing downs, Raekwon might get on the field when Misi gets hurt, so week 2, if Tankersley can play the slot or dime, he should get action.
I only watch highlight reels when i cant find positives watching game tape. Lots of picks are busts for different reasons, but i will give them credit for taking alphadogs.
Chick Hearn former broadcaster of the Lakers had a bunch of sayings he’d use during a game like this one is in the refrigerator, slam dunk, matador defense…they were dubbed Chickisms.
Hey look a defensive draft as opposed to offense last year. Edge, box LB and another big corner. Why the boo hoo, y’all wanted someone else that you sat down with and worked out? LOL
Pick Analysis: “Tankersley is a highway speed guy. If you draw up a corner, this is the guy. He can run fast. He’s a press corner. He’s the least interesting defensive back in this entire draft in supporting the run. He was directly for support on two Dalvin Cook touchdowns and did not get involved at all.” — Mike Mayock
Really Mike, you even admit you don’t know these players until you put on the tape. How many games did you watch?
I trust the MIA scouting dept. more than your eyes. Tankersley at #97 is a steal that late. He was projected at #69 ahead of Desmond King by one via CBS.
Well the issue on D was we sucked against the run, so what do they do, they bring in an edge that can’t stop the run, a CB that would rather watch someone else make a tackle, and a box LB that can’t find the right gap and can’t read a play, and is slow to react.
Harris as a situational, 3rd down pass rusher will help out tremendously in those situations, but isn’t ready to smell the field on first down. Because we don’t need him to be a 3 down DE this year he’s got time, but sure why you’d select that in the first.
His quickness off the snap and bend are quite impressive, and has the desire to be great. I think his rushing D issues can be fixed with a little coaching, but it’s going to take some time.
Raekwon I think will make a better OLB than MLB, but with his size and speed he has the potential to be as good as he wants to be. On the outside he seems to have faster play speed and reaction time.
We drafted character, work ethic, leaders, and desire. Sometimes the ubdrafted do better, because their back is against the wall, so they put in more effort, but they’ll have nothing on these 3.
Steve is so negative during every draft. Last year he was complaining about us trading our picks away and then year we stand Pat and he’s complaining about those guys. Raiders fans are never happy. Lol
In a team sport, work ethic – leadership – desire ALL matter when creating a team identity consistent with Kenny Still’s tweet “Davie, GRINDING”.
If I were allowed to complain about a draft process I’m not qualified to do (lol) I’d like my #22 overall pick to be an every down guy… but he’s a pup and FO likely thinks he’ll be a star when he gets some “peer coaching”. 🙂
I love the McMillan pick. We’ll see about the ‘speed debate’ BUT if he gets his hands/arms on you.. you’re going down!
Tankersley? D is right… this was a guy they were targeting. If our LBers execute the plan, Tankersley can cover guys all day.
ok 6 picks to go so do we get Asiata or Dorian Johnson at OG? I like both of those guys a lot.
Tankersly still there
Picks 65- 80 read like a big go fuck yourself to the blog
We can’t get everybody.

dang i wanted Jourdan Lewis as a slot CB but he does have bad red flags.
The cowboys drafted a guy with a criminal trial scheduled
Jerry has the best lawyers on payroll.. but he doesn’t have Piggy or Ken so not good for them.
We are on the clock
CCam Sutton is yet another really good slot CB.
We definitely have been going for OUR guys.
Tankersly
commercial again … every god damn time
Nice call D 👍👍🍻🍻
Tankersly is a good pick
Maybe our best pick of the draft
I really love that we emphasized defense
Is that the pick?
Yeah
Shit sorry didn’t think they would go to commercial I hit enter just as I thought they were going to show it
I know
Me neither
But we should have known
They always go to commercial before we pick
how do you know the pick?
Twitter
I like the Harris pick. I didn’t have anyone I liked better when we picked there even though I would have just liked to have seen what happened if tacos name got called
Jerk
Cordrea my man
He was much better in 2015 than 2016
But he’s talented
Clempson!!
Love it
More D please
I saw it on that web page someone posted before
Wasn’t there a Leonard Tanketsley in some sport?
Leonard Hankersomethingorother played for the Redskins out of the U.
Kiper trashed the star DB off the winning national championship team that most teams would not even throw at. I like the pick.
Lots to feel good about guys. 3 5ths tomorrow. See ya then.
Kiper is a moron
Seriously off his game this year
I love that all 3 picks were on defense
Me too. Beautiful
Me too, but that’s all I like about them, not the players. Tankersley is a project, he won’t be ready to contribute this year much other than ST, but I will compare him to Dion Sanders though 😉
?????
Neither one wants anything to do with tackling.
I think they are gonna use Tankersley on TEs and possession WRs as he is great at jumping their routes for picks. He plays CB like a CF FS. I am hoping he is our Ed Reed type guy. Hey just semi convert him to FS.
LOL
Piggs, is Lawson still on the board?
Yes
Desmond King was still there, he’s a much more seasoned CB.
More seasoned? Cordrea played in back to back national championships and defended against some of the top teams in the country. Desmond is ok but he is slow.
That doesn’t make him seasoned. I kind of remember the score in those games or should I say pinball games?
I don’t care for our 3 picks. I feel like a Mike E or Eyore.
I love them all. A Wake clone, a big thumper mlb, and a blanket cover corner.
What’s not to like?
That would be great, if it were true.
Tankersly is the only one that I was really a fan of predraft
But I love the focus on defense
Pitt took a Pitt player, just not the guy I was expecting. They took the RB from Pitt not Peterman the QB
I don’t know what with Lawson Son
I know we need OL
But I’m looking at Anthony Walker, Jr. Elijah Lee and Carl Lawson tomorrow
all good picks
Saints have had a pretty good draft
The Saints and Texans had really good drafts.
also Carolina and Tampa Bay.
Hankersly Steve
leonard hankerson
Day 2 is OVER!
Tomorrow, let’s trade up for either DESMOND KING or BLAIR BROWN. And let us PLEASE address the O-LINE!
Too late for OL, nothing left is going to help.
I really like our picks. Considering where we picked and what we gave up for Carroo, fantastic draft so far. We got talented, experienced help for our awful D. I see these guys all contributing a lot over the next 4 years.
agreed
What’s left on OL
Fuller, Toth, is Asiata still available?
Yes yes and yes
yes on Asiata and Dorian Johnson is the highest rated OG left.
Desmond is a small cover corner, tankersly is a larger press type corner, which is more like what they have been looking for. Also he was a private meeting guy who I heard a bunch of people say that we really liked
Alright Beckwith
glad he was picked on day 2
Me too. He is a good player
Lots of good OL left
Looking at NFL.com, we’ve filled all of our needs but OG. Mando and others have said they wouldn’t go OG early either so right on target.
Zach banner, asiata, Johnson, Sharpe, Isadora, dunker, genessy,
Sprinkle still out there
Leggett, Kittle, Hodges, Butt,
Everyone was screaming for Defence.. Well I’m happy so far how the PHINS scouts / coaches and GM got the guys they wanted without trading up and giving up picks.. That’s how it’s done. # ZERO IN !!
Are you a Limie 😉 Defence
No .. just a lot of whiskey with no spell check 🥃🥃🤓

If Tankersley can play in the slot, then he’s a good pick.
except he wants no part of tackling.
You’re Killing me Smalls.. I trust the fins draft room over us highlight reel watchers.
I only watch highlight reels when i cant find positives watching game tape. Lots of picks are busts for different reasons, but i will give them credit for taking alphadogs.
I just watched 5 films on him and he is not afraid to tackle. In fact he’s a tackling machine 👍👍
He’s not even a tackling machine compared to Sandcastle. Since you’re from SoCal I’ll give you a Chickism. He plays the matador defense.
I’m sure he looks like a tackling machine in highlight reels.
No slot for Tootie.
Tootie is good to go.
He can catch, can he play WR?
He can cover wr’s and has soft hands and speed to close in and pick or interrupt the pass. He’s good to go.
WTF is chickism ?
Chick Hearn former broadcaster of the Lakers had a bunch of sayings he’d use during a game like this one is in the refrigerator, slam dunk, matador defense…they were dubbed Chickisms.
Well since your from Nevada I’ll give you Dickjism.

Tim.. please stop making sense 😎
Jam on brother!
4-3 box LB.
McMillan reminds me of Ken Norton Jr.
Except he doesn’t hit that often, nor react quick.
Tankersley will push Maxwell, Howard and Lippett. Great competition.
what’s not to like of the 3 future HOF picks?
Well the issue on D was we sucked against the run, so what do they do, they bring in an edge that can’t stop the run, a CB that would rather watch someone else make a tackle, and a box LB that can’t find the right gap and can’t read a play, and is slow to react.
We’ve got 3 projects with great upside, but they aren’t ready for prime time, and we’ve got 5 PT games this year😉
Harris as a situational, 3rd down pass rusher will help out tremendously in those situations, but isn’t ready to smell the field on first down. Because we don’t need him to be a 3 down DE this year he’s got time, but sure why you’d select that in the first.

Raekwon I think will make a better OLB than MLB, but with his size and speed he has the potential to be as good as he wants to be. On the outside he seems to have faster play speed and reaction time.
Tankersley scares me with his lack of desire to tackle, and grabby hands, but he’s also got the size and speed to be as good as he wants to be.
We drafted character, work ethic, leaders, and desire. Sometimes the ubdrafted do better, because their back is against the wall, so they put in more effort, but they’ll have nothing on these 3.
Steve,
Don’t get caught up on what the so called experts say about him.
Steve is so negative during every draft. Last year he was complaining about us trading our picks away and then year we stand Pat and he’s complaining about those guys. Raiders fans are never happy. Lol

Tankersley? D is right… this was a guy they were targeting. If our LBers execute the plan, Tankersley can cover guys all day.
how about a flier on Eddie Jackson? after all it was ‘minor surgery’ but a guy with a 3rd round grade.
He is gone but he has potential to be a helluva safety. Minus the injury he was probably a 2nd rounder maybe even late first
Lawson finally selected
