Emeraldegg 03/25/17 8:12:41 AM #413: | 12. Lions: HB LeGarrette Blount Emerald's pick: QB Matthew Stafford Stan's pick: QB Matthew Stafford Another eyebrow-raiser, the Chiefs clearly have a need at QB and not HB, or even OT with Todd Wade being 35. This one just doesn't make that much sense, unfortunately. 13. Broncos: WR Golden Tate Emerald's pick: WR Dez Bryant Stan's pick: WR Dez Bryant The Broncos went off the board here, and while they still grabbed a 1st rd graded WR, they didn't grab the top one. Perhaps they see something in Tate? We'll have to see, but on the surface it's a puzzling move. 14. 49ers: OT Trent Williams Emerald's pick: OT Anthony Costanzo Stan's pick: OT Trent Williams We both had the 49ers taking an OT, but I thought Williams would be gone by now which is why I went with Costanzo. The 49ers needed another quality OT to add some depth and take over the reins soon, and they got just that. Good pick. 15. Bears: QB Andrew Luck Emerald's pick: HB LeSean McCoy Stan's pick: HB LeGarrette Blount This is a solid pick. The Bears have only 2 HB and the starter is over 30, but David Carr is even older, so QB was probably the more immediate need. Carr is still rated highly, so they've got time to let Luck develop before making him the starter. 16. Browns: MLB Aaron Curry Emerald's pick: OT Russell Okung Stan's pick: WR Golden Tate The Browns said they were targeting MLB and to be honest, I'm not sure why. Korey Hall is 85 (which is good enough) and under 30, so he can start for quite a few more years. Curry was a reach at this point, not even being listed on the board, and we thought that WR was old, and OT was substandard, so we both thought they needed more love than MLB. I don't like the pick but we'll see if the gamble pays off. 17. Redskins: WR Victor Cruz Emerald's pick: DT Gerald McCoy Stan's pick: DT Gerald McCoy I'm not sure how old the Redskins' WR corps is, but if I had to guess, it's probably old like the rest of their roster. If so, I get this pick. However, they have a single DT on their roster, who is also probably old. I would say that's a more immediate need than WR. I'd give this pick a C grade, as it still fills a need but not the biggest one, and not at the best value either. --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss ... Copied to Clipboard! |
