Running NFL Draft thread

[Mr. Sunshine]

Intriguing move here for the Bears. They won't touch Tunsil, so his freefall continues. Maybe they're targeting Jack? Hargreaves? Would they pull the trigger on Lynch here?

Titans getting Conklin not Tunsil? SMH.

And trading up to do it. Kinda like the move for the Browns, but at some point they have to turn this value into actual players.

That smoking tweet can't be causing all these teams to shy away from Tunsil can it? I mean we hear about all the research these teams do, you would figure something like this would be known. This guy is a potential 10-year All-Pro.

Laremy Tunsil drops in draft following controversial video

Here is a post about the tweet. I wouldn't be shocked if it scared some teams off, especially after what Josh Gordon and Martavis Bryant have done to their careers.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Eh? Hope this Floyd kid works out. Only had to give up a fourth-rounder.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

And Tunsil has nuked his Twitter account.

Seems a bit high for Floyd. I guess they thought the Giants were taking him over Tunsil? Assuming the Giants do take Tunsil, that leaves Tampa with Hargreaves, the guy they would have taken at No. 9. They would basically give up nothing for that fourth-round pick.

Always something crazy.

Seems like it did for at least one team, albeit one more mindful than most about character concerns:

That's about the dumbest **** the Cowboys could have done.

How so? Not totally sold on Elliott, but behind that line? Oop could run for 1,200 yards. If healthy.

Guess I was asleep at the wheel.

Any running back can do that. You don't waste the fourth pick on one.

Maybe. But Elliott is pretty damn good.

 

[JackReacher]

So was Trent Richardson.

So was Trent Richardson.

Preferred Jalen Ramsey, but hard to argue with the decision, given that line and an aging/frail QB. As others said, maybe there would be another RB later , but I can't really fault the choice. We'll see.

 

[PCLoadLetter]

I think Elliott will probably be a terrific NFL back. I would think he's the odds-on favorite to be Rookie of the Year.

I still don't think I could take a running back with the 4th pick.

 

[Steak Snabler]

Tunsil to the Dolphins, so not a total freefall.

 

[tapintoamerica]

Just looking at the alleged Tunsil video. The masked man's arms don't look like those of an NFL OL.

 

[Neutral Corner]

If Tunsil ever finds out who put that video out somebody's gonna get hurt. Dropping that far cost him a lot of money.

Third pick made $20.7 million last year, so about $10.5 million.
