And I meant to add a thank-you note to the NFL: after ESPN did their damndest to ruin last year's draft by previewing the pick ahead of time, I very much appreciate the NFL telling them to knock that shit off.

Part of the fun of the draft is that it's one of the last things left in sports where we really have no idea what'll happen until the very moment it's announced.  Everything else is foreshadowed days in advance so that when it finally happens, it's anticlimactic.  It was REALLY pissing me off that ESPN decided to scoop every pick by showing them on the phone in the green room.  Glad that isn't going on this year.

Wouldn't hurt the Broncos to take a QB here if they like either Osweiler or Foles. Manning can't have more than 3/4 years in the tank and that's if he gets back 100% from that surgery.

Anyone else notice that ESPN is putting up a different position for players than is being announced? For example OG called and OT appearing on the screen or visa vera. You think the NFL and ESPN would get on the same page with this and I feel like this isn't the first year I've noticed this....

It's also interesting that after Mike Adams was supposedly a possible target for the Lions with their first round pick, how many linemen have gone with him still on the board.  Don't do weed, kids.  Also don't get your universally beloved coach fired by getting free tattoos.

Jeffrey to the Bears might be scary if he actually plays hard.  If he and Brandon Marshall can stay on the field (ie not get suspended for the off the field issues) that duo could be difficult to cover, especially with the Lions corners (or rather lack thereof).
