Yeah, it’s a possibility but damn does Geno look terrible. Both he and the Jets make Pryor and the Raiders look like a elite franchise.
My pick will be made shortly. The draft officially go too complicated for me so I pulled out the trusty spreadsheets.
I almost picked Sudfeld myself. Ultimately I passed for the same reason NFL teams did: injuries. Also I’m generally skeptical of young, undrafted players; I think teams will tend to look for better-pedigreed replacements even when the UDAs have had a little success. But still, I would’ve taken Sudfeld if not for the injury history.

furt is on the clock, sending PM now.
Hope the pace picks up a little after business hours tonight.
We’re averaging 1 pick every 3 hours. (22 picks in 66 hours.) If we maintain that pace we’ll be done in under 6 days.
Filter out the top 5 picks and the pace gets a lot uglier.
Don’t make me take my shirt off.
Well it’s been a slow day (only four picks since midnight Eastern), but the day ain’t over yet, and even at 4 picks/day we’ll still finish in plenty of time.
Yeah, well, sorry. Studying for game theory and missed the PM.
Robert Woods, WR, Buffalo
Well, the Nash Equilibrium tells me that I should draft:
Mike Gillislee, RB, Miami Dolphins.
C’mon! Somebody say something like “Shit!” or call me a Bastard, or something!
I feel that way about the Woods pick…
Yeah, but at this point Woods is such an obvious value pick no one could really expect him to still be on the board for their next pick, so it wouldn’t even occur to me to complain. Good value there.
I’m contemplating my pick. I really, really don’t want Geno Smith here, but not sure he’ll still be there for my last pick. I’d almost rather just go with a hole at QB during the bye week but that feels kind of cheesy. sigh
I’ll decide within the next 15 minutes or so.
The top 5 picks took 12 hours. Removing them doesn’t do much for the average time. Currently 24 picks in 70.5 hours = 2:56 per pick, removing the first 5 picks 19 picks in 58.5 hours = 3:05 per pick.
Fuuuuck
sigh
Geno Smith, QB, NYJ
It’s a world of suck.
To all the people I PMed about trading up in the 3rd round, nevermind.
It’s a sad world when Pryor and Geno Smith have people falling over themselves. This league is bizarre.
Stepfan Taylor, RB, Ari.
