I wish they’d just build in ad breaks every 5 picks or something and stop the clock. Nothing worse that being on the clock and them going to commercial during your pick.
Thieneman is the pick. I’m okay with the pick, but feels like we left some meat on the bone. Wish we had been the team trading back with the Texans there…for a minute I thought we were.
And they did (Dolphins). Oh well.
Oh, Pats trade up to the Bills’ pick… Interesting.
They got a lineman. Considering how garbage their line is, no shock.
Texans with the biggest WTF moment to me so far. Trading up 2 spots to 26 to grab a guy who has a 3rd round grade, is an OG, all the while there were at least two higher rated prospects at the same position.
I just dont get it.
It’s weirder than the Rams pick.
Seeing all these trades I’m kind of pissed at the Bears for not swinging a deal to pick up extra picks.
It’s just so much hubris. Not only do you have to be convinced you are so much smarter than everyone else and draft the dude at 28 when his consensus rank is in the 50s. You also have to double down on the belief by throwing more draft capital at it.
Of course, I’ve never been a fan of Nick Caserio, so I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised.
My Eagles either did really awesome with a pick trade— from DALLAS of all teams— up 3 slots to pick a WR.
Welcome, Makai! Let Devonta be your mentor! In CA, I’ve watched this guy two years and he is incredible
Should gain some weight! We got cheesesteaks… 
Hopefully if there’s a trade, we get a RT, EDGE, and SAFETY for AJ.
My guess is Jalen and our seventh new OC (forget name, we get a new one each year) and maybe made some decisions?
NOTE: Last time we traded up for better draft with Dallas, we took Davonta Smith (SMITTY!) before Giants could.
Fuck, I love this nutty, brutal game.
This cracked me up.
Welcome to LA, Ty.
Quick rant:
Kipers analysis of the Cards taking Love at 3 includes these gems:
" The Cardinals didn’t really have an identity on that side of the ball; that unit was pretty bland."
“This 20-year-old is going to energize the fan base.”
No “identity”? “Energize the fan base”??
You know what "energizes a fan base? Fucking winning. You know what gives a team an “identity”? Consistently misusing draft assets, especially when you have a ton of other needs to fill.
But hey, at least the fan base is “energized”! And one rookie RB has single handedly given an entire offense “identity”.
So much bullshit.
Well, Kiper has you griping about his take, so he’s done his job, at least.
Can’t say Arizona has done theirs, though
Quick rave:
The Bills traded down 3 times yesterday, and it was beautiful. The Texans, Patriots, and Titans all moved up to grab their guys.
In all, the Bills moved down 9 spots, and moved up 24 spots in the third, and got picks #125, #167. Nice work!
You seem… “energized”. Seems like it’s already working.
Just like Barkley and the Giants.
The word from the Patriots is that they were very interested in him and had initially invited him to Foxborough, but then cancelled it because they didn’t think we would last to the end of the 1st. When he fell to within their reach, they moved up to grab him. I don’t hate it, except the fact that the trade was with the Bills.
They sent their 4th rounder to move up. Hopefully they can package some of their many 6th round picks to move back into the 4th, or higher in the 5th.
Unrelatedly, with the Eagles selecting a WR in the first round, there is a resurgence of speculation here that the Patriots will trade for WR AJ Brown (after June 1, for cap reasons).
The 49ers traded back twice, and like you I’m liking the haul. They turned #27 and #138 into #s 33, 90, and 179. I see no difference between #27 and #33 in this draft, so turning a 4th into a 3rd and 5th for basically free is a good move.
All indications I’ve seen are that it’s a solid pick and a good move by New England to shore up their biggest weakness.
