NFL Draft

[Snapolit1]

Is this the stupidest waste of oxygen in any calendar year? Jeez. Months of speculating about which team drafts who. Tom Brady was the 199th, 6th round pick.


Kudos I guess for the NFL to turn this into an event. Or something.

I have fun with it. Abdul Carter to the good guys. It's the right strategy to take the best available player. Happy for the Jaguars to take Travis Hunter.

As little as I knowabout any of it, seems the top 3 were picked by basically every talking head. So what’s the big drama?

The drama is going to be how far Sander falls it seems. I'll give the NFL credit though..., they've managed to turn every single aspect of the calendar into must see TV for most sports fans.

I enjoy the draft, I don't understand the point of mock drafts, seems like an idiotic billion dollar industry.

Let the Browns have Sanders. It's just fitting:

Manzel
Watson
Baker (pre rejuvenated career)

+1 anything to turn a buck

I'm happy with the Giant's first round but wonder, did they really have to give up draft capital to move up 9 spots to get Dart? I don't think many teams had him as the 2nd QB off the board.

I think they were worried the Browns might take him at the top of the 2nd round, instead of Sanders. Dart had moved past Sanders on most draft boards I saw.

Sanders apparently interviewed horribly with everybody, including Tomlin I guess, who had somehow convinced everybody that HE was going to take Sanders...but didn't.

It's the only thing that makes sense, since the Browns were they only team drafting between #25 and their next pick, that even remotely needed a QB.

QB purgatory for at least another year, before we'll see if Dart's going to pan out.

D-Line should be amazing, if this group stays healthy though.

The NFL and NBA drafts deserve the attention they get. Why is it exciting to watch? Because the guy who gets picked in the first round is going to step onto your active roster in a few months. Fans get excited about that kind of thing.

Good, so I don't have to watch tonight or Saturday. The Packers' picks will be displayed online in a timely fashion. Any upcoming drama I will not mind missing.

Bingo.

The hockey and baseball drafts can never compare as it is years before they will play for your team if they even do. These drafts have instant impact, good or bad.

+1. I think football is fundamentally won by the lines, and Giants should have one of the best D-Lines next year. I wish they could figure out the offensive line. I can't remember the last time the Giants had a serviceable offensive line.

Jeez, has a player, particularly a QB, ever fallen so far past where they were expected to go between the end of the college season and the day of the draft, without suffering a major injury or committing a serious crime?

Browns ended up taking a QB ESPN had ranked 10th at his position and 217th Overall, instead of taking Sanders.

See Post #7. That was easy.
