> [@Omniscient](#): > > I like that pick more than the pundits will. It’s a bad WR draft but I think he’s the best one, hard to be too mad about the pick. He looks like a good athlete, a great jumper, and a really good weapon for Bryce Young. I like the pick too. Saints with an OT, I guess they’re tired of their QBs getting banged up. 😆 ---

No trade for the Bears I guess…who’s the pick. And the rumors were true, the Bears take Colston Loveland over Warren. Really glad we took him, but wish we could have done it at 14 or 15. ---

TE Loveland. That’s a good offensive weapon for the Bears. 49ers pick is in, can they draft a physical therapist? ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > 49ers pick is in, can they draft a physical therapist? Why, are they trading for Watson or Tucker? This Loveland pick I think basically replaces the Keenan Allen role for this team. He’ll be moving those chains on 3rd down we hope. Hoping we can get an OL and Henderson with our picks in the 2nd round. ---

Williams over Walker is a bit of a shocker. ---

Booker at #12 isn’t a stretch but it’s a bit of a surprise to me. I thought he’d go after Zabel. Not a **bad** pick but I didn’t expect it. ---

No one expected the Cowboys to make a boring pick here. I really like Booker, but that’s high for a OG. ---

Tyler Warren’s grandpa falling asleep on national TV. LOL. ---

Feels like we might go another 10-12 picks before another OL gets drafted. ---

Jalon Walker to Atlanta. Everyone expected them to try to improve a nonexistent pass rush and that’s just what they did. ---

Well holy crap. Seattle gets Zabel after all. I guess there’s a first time for everything! I do **not** hate that pick. ---

A lot of people have been predicting an absolutely wild night with trades and unexpected picks. It’s been the exact opposite of that. The lack of trades makes sense, this is an unexciting class so why trade up. But so far, other than the Cowboys, I don’t see any real point-and-laugh picks. It’s been kind of chalk even 2/3rds of the way through the draft. ---

I cracked up when the Bears picked Loveland and then they cut to the video feed of the Loveland family and everyone was just sitting there stonefaced. ---

Steelers on the clock, probably now or never for Sanders. Aaaaaaand it’s starting to look like we might leave the first round with only 1 QB taken barring a trade.
