> [@Hamlet](#): > > The prospect interviews by Deion are so fucking stupid. I feel my brain leaking out as they spew their pre-packaged answers and Deion mugs. Ugh. It’s rough, I like Eisen and hate ESPN…but can’t stomach Deion and McShay is better than Mayock. Lots of channel flipping in the Omni household. ---

…and the Colts have their heads in the right place. They still need D help, though. Looks like my prediction of three QB’s going before the Bears’ pick was wrong, though. Uh, waitaminnit…maybe not… 😃 ---

**First round** 1. **Cleveland Browns - Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma** 2. **New York Giants - Saquon Bakley, RB, Penn State** 3. **New York Jets (from Indianapolis Colts) - Sam Darnold, QB, USC** 4. **Cleveland Browns (from Houston Texans) - Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State** 5. **Denver Broncos - Bradley Chubb, DE, NC State** 6. **Indianapolis Colts (from New York Jets) - Quenton Nelson, OG, Notre Dame** 7. **Buffalo Bills (from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) - Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming** 8.

Good pick by Colts. Their O line sucks and Nelson is pretty darn good. If they can grab Raganow in the second, there could be a future for them. ---

Tampa trading back for two 2s is a strong, strong indicator that the rumors were true about them moving up from the 2nd to the 1st for Guice. Probably just ahead of 32 ---

See, hilarious. Well, he should be used to snow, at least. What kind of world are we living in where the Browns’s front office is making more sense than the Bills’s? ---

I love Mayock’s comments about Allen. He’s strong armed, but needs to work on his accuracy and decision making. Ummmm, aren’t accuracy and decision making kinda important to playing QB in the NFL? And comparing Allen to Newton is mind boggling. You take away Newton’s running ability (which Allen isn’t even close to), and you have a sub-average NFL QB. Ahhhhhh. Think it’s time to put the mute button on. ---

> [@Johnny\_Ace](#): > > Well, you got somebody you wanted, Omni. No, not really. I hate these tweeners. Like the coverage skills but he looks like a part time player unless we significantly retool our scheme to add a Joker type role. He’s definitely worse case scenario, but at least they didn’t reach badly for someone. I’ll be watching Edmunds career to see if we picked the right one. ---

There is no WR worth the #8 pick, so grabbing a solid, possibly special linebacker makes perfect sense for the Bears. I only wish they traded up to grab him. ---

The 49ers reached, but I think he’s a decent player for them. ---

He’s supposed to be the best of a very poor class of OTs. A reach at 9, especially given what else was available but I guess I see it? Replaces Trent Brown at RT? Doubt he’s taking Joe Staley’s job. Though Staley is, what, 33? ---

> [@Hamlet](#): > > There is no WR worth the #8 pick, so grabbing a solid, possibly special linebacker makes perfect sense for the Bears. I only wish they traded up to grab him. At 235…he’s not a linebacker. He’s something, but not a backer. I do trust Vic’s judgment though. ---

It’s going to be fun to see how Nelson deals with Watt, McKinney, and Clowney for two games next year. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-draft-2018/812909.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-draft-2018/812909.md?page=6)
