The Official 2014 NFL Draft Thread - DAY 2!

[Broseph]

all the good TE's were flying off the boards, glad we cashed in before the next tier. Got a good young TE for many years.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Titans go Sankey

 

[Cardiac]

Our Heath Miller

Absolutely.

With all the freaking monster front 7 D players in our division we need a TE who can block.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Arians made a commitment to involve Ellington more and adding this TE that can block coupled with the signing of JV and the return of JC, this should be a huge boost to Andre. Plus he's another good character guy. Like this pick a lot.

Hope you are correct

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Hate the pick! Sheesh.

 

[jbjarko]

I love it. Can do it all.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Absolutely.

THIS.

 

[Jay Cardinal]

I like the Niklaus pick. A 270 lb TE that can block will help the run game a lot.

 

[Mainstreet]

Niklas played OLB and DE before playing TE. We're covered at three positions.

 

[Chopper0080]

Apparently Keim and Arians are working very closely which is a good sign. I don't love drafting in-line blockers at TE high and I'm not sure he ever becomes a top TE in the league, but he fits the division and makes sense vs the strong defensive lines in our division.

 

[Stout]

LOVE the Pick. LOVE IT.

A 2nd rounder for a blocking TE?

I love it. Can do it all.

It sounds like he can block but won't do much else. 3rd in receptions on Notre Dame? Not what I would call a downfield threat.

Yeah, I kind of scratch my head at us taking a blocking TE in the 2nd round. I'm not hating the pick because I don't know enough yet, but I am scratching my head here.

A slightly above average or better TE would be great.

Williams with the pick

Good to see him representing the Cardinals. Truly a great person.

Not just a blocking TE, he can catch the ball.

Know your division and what you need to do to compete in it.

He'll need to work on his all around game, but they drafted the right guy here, imo. His work ethic is great.

 

[WisconsinCard]

+1 and he still looks like he could play

 

[PJ1]

Niklas is Bruce Matthews nephew....Good bloodlines....Great blocker and good underneath target.

I like this pick.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Hyde to the Niners, big guy

 

[Vermont Maverick]

Hate the pick! Sheesh.

Enough of you. Somebody help me with how you put somebody on ignore/block?

 

[Dr. Jones]

Niners..... They can have em. lol

Only one of em holds the ball during the game. The others are watching from the bench.

just click his name and follow the bouncing ball to profile and then user lists or something

LIAC is alright though, he just doesnt like the pick.

Mayock said he runs good short and intermediate routes, but not fast enough to run deep routes. Looks like he has pretty good hands in the highlights.

2014 RND Reaching. Needs.Draft.

That's one way to put it.
