Running NFL Draft thread

[da man]

Anyone who is not paid to watch the draft but watches it is a moron. In fact, when the kids from the Special Olympics get together they make fun of the retards who watch the NFL draft

While that might be true, it is also true that WAY more people watch the NFL draft than watch NHL playoff games airing at the same time.

Just sayin'.

You seem like a good dude.

Trump is the republican nominee FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, Dwight Howard makes $23,000,000 a year, Soylent Green was renamed chicken McNuggets and people still eat it and Kim Kardashian is more widely recognized than James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins.

We are in a world of ****.

Then maybe you shouldn't be predicting the downfall of the NFL and ESPN.

To keep it quite what? Quite quiet?

Quite right.

or

quiet riot.

Well played.

It's part and parcel of the downfall of American civilization. Not that it's falling, per se. But the the height from which it falls is disproportionate to its relative importance.

'yab, quit littering the draft thread. Stick to what you're good at -- bad grammar and racism.

It will definitely be interesting to see how this all plays out for the Rams, Eagles, Browns and Titans over the next 5, maybe 10 years. These 2 QBs hardly seem like can't miss types, where if they flame out, the Eagles and Rams are likely to be door mats for a while--a nice welcome to LA for new and old Rams fans. On the flip side, what if the Titans and Browns parlay these picks to where they're facing off in the playoffs year after year.

A worst-best case scenario for sure, but not an out of the realm possibility by any means.

Except it is the Browns.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

On a related note, the 49ers have the most picks. Baalke needs a good draft to keep his job.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

Boston will be a fine test case of Heyabbott's hypothesis. The Celtics have an elimination playoff game tonight and the Pats have no first round pick. If the draft ratings here are strong, the league can go on counting its money in perfect serenity.

The first two picks are a given, and I suspect the Chargers will take Tunsil. It's the Cowboys' pick at 4 where things will start to get interesting. I think they'd be wise to grab Elliott. Plug him behind that line with a healthy Romo and Dallas will win the East easily.

I could see that, but the Chargers could really use the help on defense. I'm thinking they go with Ramsey.

oop beat me to it. Think the Chargers go Ramsey.

If I was making the pick for the Chargers, I'd probably go Tunsil. I just saw defenders getting in Rivers' face much too quickly much too often last year, and he needs some protection. Some draft commentators are saying the Bolts might actually go with Ronnie Stanley instead, but I don't see that.

I would be happy with Ramsey or DeForest Buckner, however. Actually, I wouldn't mind the Chargers trading down if they find a partner; get an extra draft pick or two, and their choice might become a little easier to make when it gets down to them.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

I could see that happening because the draft is top heavy with OL. Someone in love with Ramsey could jump up to 3 and the Chargers could still get Stanley or Conklin.

I don't think that's true. He has Jed pretty snowed.

He won't draft well, though, that much we can be sure of.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Saw a mock draft earlier that had the Cowboys trading back into the first round and taking Connor Cook -- ahead of Lynch, who will be an interesting case. I've seen him going anywhere from 8-31.

Maybe not this year, but if the 49ers suck for two more years, I assume someome other than the head coach is going to take the fall. The guy picking the ****ty players would be near the top of the list.

 

[DanOregon]

I don't know if I would put Goff in the top 5 of Cal QBs heading into a draft and he may go no. 1. Amazing. Though if Goff has a Bartkowski - like career I'm sure the Rams would be thrilled.

He's definitely going to be fired one of these years, though!
