I want to love what they have done through the first three rounds but I’m very blah about the whole thing. As fans we fall in love with certain players and simply expect the team is going to see it the same way, but that’s just not reality. They addressed DE, LB and OG. When looking at that, there’s a lot to be excited about. Then you see the names and you left wanting more. it will be interesting to see how it all turns out, but in comparison we could have had a draft that looked like: 1st round- LB Jihaad Campbell 2nd round- DE Mike Green 3rd round- S Kevin Winston Hell there are a handful of other variations I would have preferred to what we got. Green, Ratledge and Winston and even more. We just have to put all faith in what Golden wants to do with the defense and how waiting on the OG position works out. I wanted to come away feeling they killed it and I don’t. Maybe they all prove me wrong. Go new kids !!

I mean a linebacker. I should be jumping around going crazy. All I can seem to muster is…. Meh

I swear they use this phrasing on purpose.

Shit even Cleveland passed on Sanders.

JFC is Sanders even going to get drafted?

If they are making that admission this early then they targeted the Georgia Guard and were gambling to get him. Volson probably gets a shot at RG. Dalton Risner is probably hoping the stock market recovers because his NFL paycheck days might be over.

Fairchild is a really good pick, giving up no sacks in 2 years I’ll take it. Was also a wrestler as well, so strong good hands, sounds like a good pick up here.

So long Volson, per da site: Bengals Reaction: "He'll come in and start at left guard. ....We were crossing our fingers he would be there." - HC Zac Taylor "A pro day trip worth making ... Scott was able to work with him and get his hands on him ... We went down there with Dylan in mind. We went down there with high regard for the player. We left with even higher regard for the player.....We enjoyed our time in the classroom with him. We were impressed with his articulation of his role in their offense. He could look and tell you his mistakes. His physical play fits our style." - OC Dan Pitcher

Fairchild did not allow a sack in two years. Great. Reread the analysis of the first round pick. College game is making it hard to produce sacks.

Pff: Fairchild is a two-year starter at left guard for Georgia who posted a nearly elite 89.2 pass blocking grade across the past two seasons. While he isn’t quite as powerful as his teammate Tate Ratledge, he is equally adept with his footwork in pass protection and is athletic enough to function as a puller or at the second level. Fairchild has a reasonably high floor as a candidate to serve as interior depth for a team in need of functional pass protectors. If he can get stronger over the next couple of years, he could develop into something more.

I would give this draft so far a solid D. They've hit the positions but too much having to read a bunch film nerd crap to understand it. Classic off the beaten path draft which will get bad reviews but sometimes works out.

I've considered changing my screen name to "guard" so I can get blown by this board all year long. Not a whole lot of reaction so far but it will come so to speak

Assessment of the first three rounds: Positions selected — beautiful Players selected — eeeeehhhhhhhhh Could be worse.

ALL SEC draft so far.

Could eventually be a starter.

If you want a guard, take Ratledge when he’s there. Such goofy process. Whatever, it was a dire need. I hope Fairchild has it.

Are you people happy now?

When I wanted them to draft another guard, the lions snagged him right in front of us. History repeats itself. Come to think of it, the names are similar. Ragnow, Ratledge.

More D. Hopefully a 2nd DL.

Sanders falling to the third lolololol. What did he say in interviews, that he was going to scalp ownership or something?

Golden's draft. He loves the pick. I guess that's all that matters until its gets proven one way or the other on the field. Wasn't on my radar so I'll read up a little.

Heartsick about Ratledge, so many good olinemen have gone in the 2nd, very few starters left....

Green to the Ravens. Not looking forward to dealing with that dude twice a year.

Ravens take Green. Rapists, murderers, hey it’s Baltimore…

Yea that sucks
