1. Cincinnati Bengals - Joe Burrow, QB. The Bengals have found their long-term solution at QB, so long as he comes back from his knee surgery OK, and most do these days.
4. NY Giants - Andrew Thomas, OT Earlier in the season, the No. 4-overall pick out of Georgia was going through an alarming slump, as issues with new techniques he was being taught led to him frequently getting beat inside and becoming a liability on a long-maligned unit. But since the month of November began, Thomas has started to become the sort of player the Giants expected: Pro Football Focus noted that in a four game stretch in November, Thomas only allowed eight pressures (Compared to 36 beforehand) and saw his pass-blocking grade improve to 69.6.Link.
How’s he doing? Similarly as impactful? He must be more impactful, being a 3rd overall pick, right?
Looks like the Lions just had another EDIT “Martin Mayhew dart-board draft.” You know, like the one in 2011, where EDIT Mayhew could have thrown a dart at a dart board with all of the next-best available players and hit on a good to very good to All Pro to future Hall of Famer. Instead it went like this:
Inexcusable. Every Lions fan should be able to accurately know every draft pick by going back to Slip Watkins as an eleventh round draft pick out of LSU in the 1991 draft . You should be able to accurately name the GM for all drafts even after drinking a case of Strohs and wandering through downtown Flint. Your performance has been noted and logged for future reference. You receive 0 points, and are in jeopardy of being banished to Hoboken, N.J. I hope your performance improves rapidly in the near future.
Fairley was “okay” when he was healthy, but he spent alot of time injured. Personally I wasn’t a huge fan of his coming out because I put too much stock in how someone speaks. I saw the segment he did with Gruden and the kid sounded like an idiot. I wanted DE Adrian Clayborne. He has been a solid contributor but definitely not the impact player I thought he was going to be.
I think the board’s favorite pick that year was Derrick Johnson. I remember Coyote kind of stood alone as being a huge Thomas Davis fanboy. He couldn’t stop talking about Thomas Davis and how good he was going to be. I remember some people tried to use revisionist history and say they were all about Ware and Merriman before the draft. I also remember some Prince Amukamara fans.
Fairly was hurt his rookie yr, yet was a 2 time top 10 guy in pressure per snap, and went on to be a 2nd team all pro. Okudah will have to do a lot to be as good as Fairley was
Thomas Davis was a Safety in college and turned out to be a great LB. He showed everything in college for that switch, but his size held questions about his durability. While he had injury issues he played a long time.
