ESPN too busy yakking to keep up with the draft, which we’re pulling up online faster. ---

Huh, OL is all the rage in the NFC East. I hope the Cowboys get some defenders to counter that… ---

**9th Pick - Erick Flowers - New York Giants** Finally a interesting pick. The Giants just crapped the bed. Usually the Giants are one of the soundest and most predictable teams in the draft. The almost always go BPA. I haven’t heard anyone who actually likes Flowers. It’s tough for us amateurs to scout a OL but the cut-ups I’ve watched certain make him look like a soft turnstile. I’m calling this pick a total bust. But…I did dislike the Beckham pick last year so maybe I shouldn’t get too snooty with it. ---

An injured RB at #10? I’m surprised. ---

Hehe watching ESPN, and some blonde gave a real bitch-face after hugging Gurley. ---

I made the right choice. The Bulls are curb-stomping the Bucks. Love it, that team pissed me off. **10th Pick - Todd Gurley - St. Louis Rams** Another pick for me to complain about. I prefer Gordon to Gurley in this draft and when you factor in the injury history, this pick doesn’t make a ton of sense. I get that the Rams want to be a tough smash-mouth team and this fits their identity, but I’d have gone with Parker here. ---

I should have gotten beer on my way home. I drank a soda and I’m hyped up already. I’m like an ADHD kindergartner here. ---

They just showed a highlight of Waynes where the receiver slipped and fell and called it great coverage. ---

So do the Browns go sensible…or take a punter? ---

It’s funny because he was on the “probably high hopes but could happen” for the Packers. The Vikings got him. So as usual, The queens are stealing our players ---

**11th Pick - Trae Waynes - Minnesota Vikings** Hate to say it, but I love this pick. Waynes will be a very solid player and unfortunately he’ll be in the division trying to lock down White. Very solid player, but I prefer Peters personally. Hopefully he’ll still be around in round 2. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > I feel a little guilty watching the draft and mostly ignoring the Bulls playoff game. Thankfully the Bulls are blowing out the Bucks so far, so maybe I’m not missing much _knocks wood_. At this point, the Bulls are up by 40 points, so you aren’t missing a “blowout”. . . you’re missing an EPIC blowout. ---

Do not want. They could’ve taken Parker and Mack at 19. ---

Regarding BPA, Reese says Flowers was top on their board. Which for me calls into question their board. ---

**12th Pick - Danny Shelton - Cleveland Browns** Ha ha. Everyone had him slated for the Bears so I did a lot of research and I did not like what I saw. He’s a fat slob and the most compelling fact I saw was that he had 9 sacks last year but 6 came in weeks 1 and 2 against Hawaii and Eastern Washington. He basically got shut out in Pac-10 play. Typical Browns pick. They really needed a WR and should have grabbed Parker or Strong. ---

I knew there was a bad part about winning a super bowl… there is _no way_ I’m going to be awake at 11:30 or midnight when the Pats finally pick. Surprised at the lack of movement to this point… _cue trade frenzy_ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2015-nfl-draft-on-the-clock/718933.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2015-nfl-draft-on-the-clock/718933.md?page=5)
