NFL Draft rounds 4-7 [open thread]

Jake Ryan is still available. I'm interested to see whether anyone takes a chance on Devin Gardner.

Let the fun begin again!

Happy Jake made it to the NFL. I wish him the best, and that is coming from a Bears fan.

Congrats to Jake. GB is a great team and he should have ample opportunities to improve and learn from the veterans already in the front 7.

I'm glad he went to GB. I'm so pissed he went to GB.

It's gonna be great getting to see him play at least twice a year, just sucks it's for the Packers.

a tension filled set of Bert Beilema & Pat Fitzgerald. Each constantly taking real but softballed shots at each other....lol. Then, they go live to Baltimore where the fan pick girl is already making news & I had no idea "the voice of the Ravens" is named Gerry Sandusky. Soft g. So unfortunate.

just joking/giving her crap over how she spoke. Her accent. Nothing major. Network guys were cracking up & there are a few pics online where Jerry's face is imposed over Gerry's. Messed up ha

Bill Polian said Jake Ryan was his favorite player in the DRAFT.

That's one heck of a stamp of approval!

They just raved about JMFR, that was awesome.

Pretty much. I doubt Raymon Taylor and Brennen Beyer and Will Hagerup have a chance.

Should the Lions be looking for a off tackle now?

I'm not convinced OT is a weak spot yet. Both Reiff and Waddle have shown themselves to be good OT's when healthy. Unfortunately, last year was a rough one for LaAdrian health-wise. Let's see what he does now that he healthy. It's pivotal year for him.

I believe they have said he will refuse to sign if drafted now, and wait out the year.

Which is stupid. The guys on NFL radio just made the point that if he isn't drafted this year, he can't reenter the draft next year. His agent gave him some terrible advice I think.

I assume if he's taken in the 2nd or 3rd round there then it'll be more than a 5th-7th round pick in this year's draft? Hell, I dunno. Just a bad situation all the way around.

I'm pretty sure the NFL denied his request to pull out of this draft and enter the supplemental draft. That's why they went ahead and "kept him eligible" for this draft, hoping he would get picked.

That's not quite what it looks like. First off it's several years old. Second, from what I've read, it's more of a weird motivational tactic where the Attention NFL Scouts sign would stay there and the coaches would post a list of players who missed a class or were late for a workout or something during the week. The list is much newer looking and hastily typed up. I don't think it actually means "La'El Collins is such a selfish waste of oxygen that Les Miles actually thinks you shouldn't draft him."

Stefon Diggs...

I'd go OT in the 6th and best edge rusher on the board in the 7th.

What about Dezmin Lewis? 6'4", 4.5 40. We have Tate for the slot.

Horrendous draft so far for Pittsburgh. Wasted a pick on Coates and took a Grant over Ifo and Amos for no reason other than there is some sort of Ohio State mandate in Colberts contract.

I have to disagree with you Steelers Wr core needs another WR and Coats need some work but i think its a good pick

I don't know how much burn Coates is actually going to get, though, considering how well Le'Veon can catch and how the TE position is embedded in the fabric of Pittsburgh. I understand taking a WR but in the 3rd round? Far too high. I'm certain Coates would've been there in the 5th because of how raw he is.

On Thursday, Gardner was listed here:

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/tracker/by-round#dt-tabs:dt-by-college/dt-by-college-input:33

But he was not listed there yesterday or today, which makes me think the NFL does not expect him to be drafted. (You can still find his player draft profile on nfl.com by Googling him.)

In no order...

Michael Bennett - DT
Anthony Harris - S
Ifo Ekpre-Olomu - CB
Kenny Bell - WR

...with this upcoming 5th round choice.

I really think you get Bennett or Ekpre-Olmu knowing that you're more likely to "hit" at that position having 2 DTs or 2 CBs in this draft.

He was projected as undrafted. This is where I don't see the logic...he may be higher on their board based on need, but do they really think some other team was going to swoop in and take Michael Burton in round 5?

That's my biggest pet peeve, if you're an NFL team, don't just worry about YOUR board...worry about everyone elses too.

And no one else was going to take this guy...they could've waited until the 7th round if they true LOVED the kid. You can say the same about 2-3 other Lions picks. It's fine that you LOVE the kid...but see where the demand is and slot your pick accordingly.
