2017 NFL Draft Open Thread: Day 1
And that's my point.
I feel like you knew what I meant.
NFL is trying it's hardest to be perceiveda leader against domestic violence. Commercials, charity, implementing rules, etc.
Lewis is going to fall. Joe Mixon would be a 1st round pick. Conley is going to fall. I think it was clear what I was talking about when explaining why Lewis is trending down and Lattimore trending up.
...and maybe you give Brock a year to try and prove himself?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Both Cousins and Goroppolo feel like the definition of "replacement-level" QBs once you strip away the teams around them. I might be wrong, but I'd have rather take a chance on a guy like Watson than hope, I don't know, Josh Rosen figures it out next year and you can draft him.

Jonathan Allen is inexplicably still available.
Crazy.
I hate trading up, but getting a top three talent in the mid first is maybe worth it as a Lions fan.
As a Lions fan (puke), this draft is going as well as one could hope for. A bunch of QBs and other skill positions that we don't need have been taken so there might be some good choices at 21.
My thoughts exactly. This draft feels like a fantasy football draft with everyone freaking out way too early. Some good defenders should be available.

I get your point, but a reach is still a reach, especially with the slotted salary system. I see huge bust potential with teams getting stuck carrying exbortitant salary cap hits by taking guys way too high.
Goodell should troll the crowd and walk out right now waving to the crowd. Cheer or Boo? Start pumping everyone up like WWE. Then walk off.
LOL Goodell brought reinforcements!!!
April 27th, 2017 at 10:00 PM ^
he didn't get booed.
OJ Howard still on the board too and people were talking him to the Jets.
Caps/Pens are tied 2-2 in the 3rd.
Spurs and Grizz are tied at 11.

I'm amazed how far Hooker has fallen. There was talk he'd be a top-5 guy, and right now he might slip into the 20s.
EDIT: and as I say that, Indy grabs him.
April 27th, 2017 at 10:01 PM ^
How are Allen and Foster still available? Baltimore always seems to get steals in the draft.
April 28th, 2017 at 12:29 AM ^
by team doctors. Some had them off the board for that reason. Allen with shoulder and back issues and Foster with concussion and shoulder issue (plus off-field concerns).

It'll be interesting to see how these OSU secondary players pan out. I thought both Lattimore and Hooker were great athletes but had issues ID'ing plays and could be put on skates with some misdirection.

Anyone just see that sequence in the Caps/Pens game? Incredible.
I don't watch much hockey, but when I do...it's Playoff hockey.
April 27th, 2017 at 10:14 PM ^
WTF MODS!!!! You deleted the Peppers should've stayed thread already?!
I swear, those need to be left. Set the tone. Set an example. Send a message, dammit.
April 27th, 2017 at 10:17 PM ^
I hate to say it, but I think we're all sort of aware that there is a contingent of fans here who can't help but burn themselves on hot taeks.
April 27th, 2017 at 10:22 PM ^
I know...just joking. I just like saying "yea! send a message!"

Jabrill as a NY Giant is perfect. He won his state championships in Giants/Metlife Stadium.

Dang.

Can't believe the Eagles passed up Jonathan Allen...
SMFH

Wouldn't they have to give up their 1st round pick or a 1st round pick next year?
Getting Foster and Charlton would be huge...but at this point you have both on the board...plus Howard (and Peppers). Personally I don't take Howard because it's such a deep TE draft, but he's an upgrade at the position.
April 27th, 2017 at 10:22 PM ^
Might be a viable trade down a few slots scenario brewing for Detroit.

Kiper just threw major shade at Lane Kiffin.
