It’s Official – Carson Wentz is an Eagle!
Posted: April 28th, 2016 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 758 Comments »We’ve known this was coming since news of the trade with the Browns moved the Eagles into the number two spot in the draft.
Carson Wentz is an Eagle.
You should be happy about this. Very happy.
Is there risk in moving up to take a QB in the draft? Heck yes. But we’re also talking about the player that some smart people think incredibly highly of.
Mike Mayock calls Carson Wentz the best player in the draft, at any position https://t.co/ybIXgtqYtC

.@gregcosell on Carson Wentz: "He's clearly the best QB prospect in the draft. There's no question…Not even close."
— Adam Schein (@AdamSchein) April 19, 2016
That’s high praise.
Even though the Eagles had to settle for the number two pick, they may have gotten the best player or best QB in the entire draft. That doesn’t guarantee that Carson Wentz will pan out, but it makes you feel pretty good about his odds.
If you want to get a better feel for Wentz, watch his episode of Gruden’s QB Camp.
Wentz has great physical talent. He needs work, with only 23 college starts under his belt. He hasn’t thrown nearly as many passes as other QBs who went early. That’s okay. The Eagles have a plan for developing Wentz. They aren’t going to force him into the lineup.
This is also an unusual move because the Eagles aren’t a team coming off a 3 or 4-win season. They went 7-9 and were slotted at pick 13. They moved up to the 8th spot and then to number two. Most teams taking a QB super early are either coming off a terrible season or they have struggled for a while. The Rams haven’t made the playoffs since 2004. The Eagles were division champs in 2013.
Wentz will have pressure on him, but I think he’ll be put in position to succeed. This won’t be the same as JaMarcus Russell coming in to save the Raiders or Joey Harrington coming in to save the Lions. Wentz doesn’t have to carry the entire team on his back. He doesn’t have to drag an organization from years of losing into the playoffs.
The Eagles are looking for Wentz to provide stability at QB and to help the team to get back to being one of the best in the league. He has the ability to do that. He has the work ethic to adjust to the NFL and become a good starting QB. It will be fun to see how he handles this challenge and whether this move by the Eagles proves to be brilliant or back-breaking.
The Eagles didn’t just move up for a QB. They moved up for someone they think is special.

No SB snark right now. So glad we have a QB we can root for. Possible franchise guy. Potential star. Awesome!!!
Common Lynch we know you want to go top 15.
Holy hell, stupid chargers.
Well then…
There was a faint hope for Tunsil or Ramsey…
Now Zeke?
Something tells me Tommy had this post pre-loaded.
Maybe we can talk him into showing us the one he prepared for Goff next month? It will be like the Dewey Wins newspaper.
So we have a shot at Tunsil in the 3rd?
If this happens, I’ll be thrilled 🙂
Ugh I wanted him to go to Dallas
Ramsey 🙁
How many mock drafts did Chargers just ruin?
DAL needs to take an OT.
Take Rankins!
They wouldn’t take him at 4. They do reportedly like him though.
DAL could still take Tunsil
Depends on what is around Wentz because they did give up a lot to get him and won’t have immediate help coming at any of the skill positions unless Agholor really busts out.
Also going to need to overhaul and rebuild the line too.
lord please bless and protect our giant ass ginger
bosa?! i hate the bolts
How are they debating now? Come on, no one buys that.
im hoping htey take zeke over ramsey
Elliott
cool. im down.
He had Cowboy written all over him.
Terrible suit too
Fudge.
Good luck facing that now.
We’ll live with it.
I would have been so damn mad if they took Ramsey.
Jags gotta be ecstatic….watch them take Floyd lol
Best case scenario IMO. Better than them taking Ramsey IMO.
Yeah I was hoping for Bosa but with him gone. Couldnt hope for any better
Exactly my feelings
rather have our defense against zeke than our offense against ramsey
“Oh, you like my mom’s dress.”
This is what they talk about on the phone?
I had it muted, did Rapapport say Dallas would have taken Wentz?
Yep.
yep
im so sick of hearing about hte cowboys fuckin oline
that’s what happens when you take OL first round instead of trading drafts for small school qbs.
also helps hwen you have a good qb and can afford to draft ol every year
And if they didn’t have their small school QB star they can pick all the OLineman in the world and it wouldn’t matter
ouch.
Come on, we have Danny Watkins.
Guys I want to apologize about what I was saying in March….Elliot is absolutely terrible
Hopefully Lawrence and Gregory welcome him to the Dallas party scene, and help him get all the connections with all the ‘right’ people.
Officially cowboys take zeke? Damn. Might as well just rebuild.
Jags defense might be pretty decent this year
One player won’t make a difference. They were awful last year.
Adding Prince, Gipson, Jackson, Fowler, and Ramsey has to make it better
It’s bizarre how a “defensive” coach turned out such an awful defense year after year.
In retrospect, if we had stayed at 8, the options wouldn’t have been great. I’d assume another team would have traded up to 2 for Wentz. Elliott wouldn’t have been there. Tunsil has character concerns. Jack has the injury issue. Hargreaves’ stock in general has seemed to drop, likely just the draftniks catching up with league opinion. Pick at 8 would likely have been Conklin or Stanley.
I always thought that. I wasn’t excited about anyone at 8 either. I think Elliott may have been there, but Stanley? Hargreaves? Blech.
Happy the Eagles traded up. I’m just sad we have a while to go before the next pick.
Id have been just fine with Stanley. Heargraves there too
Might have gotten Tunsil!
At this rate, might get Tunsil in the 3rd 😛

Howie says the #Eagles won’t honor Bradford’s request to trade him.
Yes, at least one good thing will come out of this draft.
Also said Bradford is leader of team and will be welcomed back with open arms.
lol
some leader
He also has some wonderful beach front property in Arizona for sale. If you’re not interested in that, there are some mighty fine bridges around here.
Tunsil to the Ravens? Or is the maryj too much for Maryland?
I think they’ll take Tunsil. I told my Ravens friends here, if they did the trade Mayock did I’d be annoyed if I were them.
Could Jax be the best team in their division. After 2014 season did anyone think Gus Bradley would outlast Chip Kelly?

Doug: “I was very open and honest with all the quarterbacks” during the pre-draft process.
Surprised Chip didn’t jump up and get him.
Mayock was right about Stanley being the first T taken. There were probably others as well.
They should have someone else announcing picks. Goodel getting booed is silly.
I suggest bikini clad swimsuit models.
A cheerleader rep from the team.
You’d have to pay them for that; evidently that’s hard for some teams.
Actually, you’re exactly right. It’s bizarre that they haven’t at least gotten someone famous to host the draft (comedian, former NFL star, etc), considering how hard they try to make it an event… Goodell’s ego getting in the way?
id love to see a shot of chip trying to take the phone away from baalke right now
So glad Dallas took Zeke. Jerry Jones lives
This
we’ll see how it goes
I think he will be a fine player. I don’t think he will consistently be a top 5 running back. I’m happy Dallas missed out on the chance to add an elite player.
Damnnnn wtf is going on with Tunsil
photo of him smoking pot through a gas mask leaked right before the draft.
I think this might be some Patriot acting. Let him fall, fall, fall…
Apparently it’s real old from when he was in high school. Still hard to take him without time available to research the issue.
it’d be easy for me, everyone pissed clean at the combine — huge value if you’re picking middle of the round. Though i guess it could be a josh gordon situation, in which case maybe you get fired.
Chip takes Buckner, genius
#oregonbias
lol
Ravens take stanley
Am I the only one who thinks the crowd has been warm all night, not that excited
If Tunsil drops to the third, we should take him.
he might need to pull a [what’s that OL’s name from last year that said he didn’t want to be drafted].
#hewhoshallnotbenamed
I forget his name, too. Doesn’t matter, he is a Cowboy. Scumbag will work.
howie would have drafted him in hte 7th. damn chip
Someone just take Tunsil before 10
How many more photos do we need to leak to make him last until 79?
who’s good with photoshop
Just off work heading home. We went with Wentz. Yay. Anything interesting with other picks yet?
Jerrah being Jerrah
Boys, zeke
🙂
Bosa went third. Stanley 1st OT taken. No Tunsil yet.
Tunsil still on board at 8. Video surfaced online just before draft of him smoking weed from a bong. Apparently his account was hacked and it’s an old video.
Cowboys took Ezekiel Elliott.
indominus rex
lololoolololol
Chippah loves him some ducks
Lol!!!
So would the Eagles have selected Tunsil here?
Maybe
maybe not
#AllbrightingIt
Good question. I think probably.
who woulda thunk it?
Hard to project what the Browns would have done. Maybe.
Could’ve sat at 15 for tunsil
Titans traded up to #8.
Gotta be for Tunsil.
I bet Tunsil goes here
Browns going to have all the picks mid round. What’d they get?
They’re still going to get Tunsil after trading down to 15… what a bitch
Gotta be tunsil. Guy everyone was mocking to them
Titan’s fans must be in heaven. Still a boatload of picks left over to boot.
Wow, Tennessee’s GM doing a masterful job of rebulding the team
Titans howie’ing it. Trade down and back up and grab the guy you would have drafted at #1.
How many teams will turn their noses up on a top prospect because he smoked weed at some point? That’s utterly ridiculous in 2016
Field Yates
@FieldYates

In order to move up to the 8th pick, the Titans shipped pick 16, a 2016 third-rounder and a 2017 second-rounder.
If Tunsil doesn’t have off field issues down the line it’s worth it
didnt they have #15?
Yep, Yates likley had a typo.
CONKLIN???? WTF
Oh God the weed stuff is serious
Omg conklin
dong
Huh?
Wow. Don’t do drugs, kids.
Or pot. Don’t do that either.
Damn, who takes Tunsil. Oakland? Historically they have discounted character issues, at least when Al was alive.
Hopefully no Giants.
Ugg, yeah. That will be it. Damn.
Yeah, that’d suck if they were just gifted Tunsil
WTF
Was Tunsil the guy with the step father suing as well?
yep
NFC East Olines will be solid this year.

Clearly it was not just a weed issue.
there has to be more than that video. The agencies that did the deep digging on draft prospects must have figured a reputation for this kid being a total pot-head. Reality is you won’t find many prospects that haven’t smoked pot at some point these days.

Or Floyd

yes!
😉
No one is even talking about Jack. Poor kid.
Lions
Poor kid
Stop clapping in the mic, you twat.
That kid has long arms.
Tunsil is going to fuck someone up for sabotaging his draft… God help whoever screwed Tunsil like that…
It was Stanley
It was Zeke Elliot. Get the rumor started.
Hopefully he is off the Giants board too
it’s a shame we have no way of getting back into the first round, would love to snag a T.
Posting a video of you smoking a gas-mask bong. That’s a bold move ten minutes before the draft starts, Cotton.
Didn’t the moron who fell out of the window say Tunsil was hanging out with him? Tunsil’s character is much more of a concern than the draft community believed. For his sake, hope he shows everyone they were wrong.
Giants take Daron Lee?
My guess is Rankins
I want Paxton gone soon.
Doubt he goes top 20… Sucks
@12 i have heard is a realistic option for the Saints. Otherwise look for @15 with the Browns.
Rankins to the saints.. They were bluffing to try and pressure Brees into the contract
Browns are stockpiling picks, I like what their FO is doing.
At some point they actually have to take someone.
TTP
Baseball guy in charge. Baseball approach. Could work for them. We’ll see.
Guys please forgive me for being dumb, what exactly is the bong thing…like is it just a way to do weed or…
Yeah it’s basically just a glass weed pipe where the smoke goes thru the water
I love the Gas mask bong he was using. Personal favorite, all the smoke goes in your eyes too, gets you trashed!
we actually had a friend that wore a gas mask to avoid everyone else’s smoke
apparently it’s a device that extra-terrifies old rich white dudes
lol
Fancy pipe. Gets you more stoned.
2 months ago I tell you Conklin and Lloyd go before Tunsil, and Jack what would have said?
we would have been happy b/c maybe at 13 we get one of them?
probably similar things to what we said 20 minutes ago, unreal
Jack, it was always possible because it all depended on what the docs said and we’re not privy to that information.
Tunsil? His own stupidity is costing him. All depends on just how big a pothead he is. The video clearly paints a very bad picture.
I feel bad for Tunsil being in attendance… Whoever did that to him is one cruel mofo
.. I get the impression Tunsil will be in jail tomorrow and his step father will be in the hospital
I forgot about the stepfather thing. That’s savage. And he’s got to sit in that green room for 3 hours. I’d probably leave.
Someone has been trying to shop that video to webstes, when they couldn’t sell it, I guess just decided to fuck the kid over by posting it on his Twitter right before the draft… That’s just cruel
Or is it possible Tunsil pulled some crap and pissed someone off to the point where Tunsil deserves it. Teams will wonder. Its not just the poor judgement in smoking weed. Its the questions of judgement for having it videotaped and making an enemy that would pull this kind of stunt.
His stepfather sued him two days ago claiming emotional distress. (this after a lawsuit from last summer where they accused each other of domestic violence, and both suits were dismissed.) I mean… what a weird situation.
Yes yes yes!!!
what happened? no TV access here and the websites keep saying “pick is in”
Eli Apple to NYG
Eli Apple to Giants. LOL.
but he can’t even cook
Lol DRC? Janoris Jenkins, and #10 Eli friggin Apple? Lol good luck with that
..
LOL @ overrated Hagreaves
If Tunsil falls to Eagles in the 3rd round do you take him?
YES.
That isn’t going to happen.
Yeah was just thinking. Just like how Colins fell last year. Just a thought.
We should run to the podium wearing gas masks.
If that happens its cuz he probably killed someone on the down low, so no
if he falls to the third I hope Howie smokes a bong with him on the way to hand in the card.
1/3 of the top ten picks have been Buckeyes
More like 30%
Thanks, math wiz.
Two to the NFCE. Hopefully it is one of those situation where the overall talent made them look better than they are.
Reaches. Reaches everywhere!!
What kind of a dumbass knocks a guy for not being able to cook?
Let’s get that QB- run going. I know Howie said no trade, but a desperate Bronco team never hurts.
you would think paxton doesnt make it past CLE
Browns, Bills, Jets at 15, 19, 20
I could see the browns taking Lynch, and the jets taking hack
Whoever takes Hack has an uphill climb reclaiming him. He was hot garbage these last three seasons.
Correction, 2
I take it with a grain of salt, bug sal pal was reporting that the jets GM and scouts love hack.
As long as Nkemdiche doesn’t go to the skins, round 1 worked out not too bad for us
You are okay with Zeke on the Cowboys?
Yeah, it sucks they got a good RB. Way overpaid for him though and there were better players on the board so I’m not complaining. Should have taken Ramsey.
No… But I can’t have it all… Im ok that Ramsey ISNT there, im ok with them not having edge rushers still(a premier position),.
I agree completely. But I think the fact that we are saying at least they didn’t get a QB or edge rusher or the best overall player tells us a lot about the value of a RB.
Truly great running backs are rare, but good ones are common. Will Elliot be great? Maybe. Running behind that line should help. The argument is that they could have selected a great corner or very good d-lineman and still gotten a more than serviceable RB down the line. I like Elliot, but I agree with Kempski that taking a RB in the top 10 is just silly.
you knew they were going to get a good player at #4 when the top 2 picks are QBs. Minimize damage by drafting an RB. Anyone they stick in the backfield would have been decent anyway
Agreed.
Pretty much
Honestly, I think in terms of the 4th pick in the draft, Zeke to the Cowboys was the best outcome. They were going to get a good player regardless. A RB at 4 has questionable value at the very least, so to me, the opportunity cost was high for the Cowboys by picking Zeke.
Me too. I was asking because GEAGLE was a big Zeke fan.
Got some good Party drugs down Der in allass
Rappaport claims Cowboys would have taken Wentz #4… If that’s true, I like the kid even more lol
Zeke is a wasted top 4 pick. We dodged a bullet with a rival team getting such a premium pick and blowing it on a RB, who’s best skill set is blocking.
what do people think of the Cowboys pick? Does it make you think very good short term pick, but maybe not a good long-term pick….and maybe in the short-term, that’s a tough team….so maybe you are a little more ok with trading Bradford?
or I’m reading a lot into it.
I think he will be a beast, but the value wasn’t great especially when Ramsey was there
defense will struggle but offense will be a problem, until tony meets no. 58
Tony’s inevitable back injury in 3 . . . 2 . . . . 1 . . . .
He’s going to be a stud but I’m in denial right now so he’s going to suck.
I think he’s going to be great, but they were going to get a great player at 4. It is what it is.
They almost couldn’t help picking a great player at 4, but I feel like there were much scarier picks that they passed up. He’s going to be a pain with the good line they have, but I think it could have been worse.
right and I think he will have a quicker positive impact than say a CB/safety. I guess I’m asking given that does that make you more ok if Bradford not here.
I guess if you think Romo has limited time which is true, it’s a pick that says let’s go all in while Romo may be healthy.
I agree with you. That offense should be frightful right away assuming Tony is about to catch that rapid beat down father time loves to dish out (it is not as gradual a process as one would imagine). They are all in on 2016. Which is crazy for a team that earned the number 4 pick
They had the 4th pick in the draft, so odds are we couldn’t avoid them getting a baller… Zeke behind that OL is going to be an issue, and he is the one player that could help keep Romo upright… But that requires running Zeke into the ground the way they did with Murray…
.
Still, we won’t be laughing at them picking a RB at least two days out of each year… Silver linning, they haven’t addressed edge rush which is a premier position and there biggest need, and I don’t have to learn to despise Jaylen Ramsey
The Giants payed Janoris Jenkins $60m only to take a CB in round 1.
BPA.
But was he even the BCBA (best CB available)?
Paid Vernon a ton of money too. They think they can go on a deep run again I guess.
Still got DRC too…. And No safeties or LB’s lol
Teams are in nickel packages 60% of the time. Nickel CB is more of a starter than SLB(typically taken out in nickel packages). It also wouldn’t surprise me to see them use more 5 DB packages on early downs with one of the CBs acting like a safety and Collin in the box.
Who the hell spends pick #10 on a friggin Nickel?
Brandon Boykin?
10th pick in round 4 maybe 😉
Will Jenkins demand a trade? 😉
Swap him for Bradford.
Do the Saints take Lynch?
Nah, Rankins
Doubt lynch goes top 20, might not even go top 25
I think Browns might though.
Good point, forgot about them.. I guess the Jets could too… I just don’t think he merits a round 1 pick… To me, he isn’t much better than Osweiler was coming out of school
right and I don’t think he’d beat Sanchez out for the job this year, but here I am rooting for the QB’s to get picked b/c we don’t have another pick for a long time.
great start for browns, get 30 picks and still get the guy you wanted.
Which channel are you watching? You’re a full 3 min ahead of me.
Im guessing
NFL network stream on my comp
Probably Twitter
Twitter
Think he was just speculating. I’m on twitter and there wasn’t anything definite out there that they were taking Rankins. Been rumored for a while though.
Yeah just guessing, im not on Twitter
So don’t take it as me shouting out spoilers. I have no idea, just guessing
The biggest smokescreen of the draft was what Tunsil had on his face. :rimshot:
Ooh nice nice lol
I hear teams aren’t as high on Tunsil anymore, or as high as Tunsil.
They are trying to claim the video is like 5 years old… Lol looks pretty grown in that video, not like some 17yr old kid
Lol announcers said it doesn’t look 5 years old too… Whoever did this to the young man is one cruel hater
Miami has some nice grass.
There it is.
Can anyone think of another example where a top prospect had someone actively try to sabotage his draft slot like this?
,,
Good for him. Felt bad for him….. Miami could have gotten a steal
wow we could have stayed pat and taken Tunsil at 13
If Wentz doesn’t work out, that fact will be mentioned.
Assuming Tunsil doesn’t wash out due to his drug issues 😛
Unless the Dolphins would have taken him at #8.
Someone in the Dolphins front office? 🙂
Haha that was our pick
I’m going to be disappointed if Tunsil doesn’t say this in his interview
‘Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
Great value for the Dolphins assuming he can stay clean, or at least ‘NFL clean (i.e. not caught :P)’
Needs to stay away from Dion Jordan.
now that it’s official and we don’t pick forever, how do you feel about Wentz? I’m cautiously excited.
I’m thrilled. Even more thrilled finding out Dallas would have taken him.
That actually gives me second thoughts ;).
I’m excited. I love that we have a talented young QB for the first time in over a decade. Not convinced it will work out because, hey, 50% of 1st round QB’s wash out, but I think he’s got a great chance of becoming a very, very good player.
Well McNabb thinks he’s a midround pick at best, and Cleveland passed on him. I’m really excited.
Those are the intangibles everyone talks about, right?
Woooooo thank you dolphins!!
Raiders going to get either one of those Clemson pass rushers
GE Beer count: #8
drink of choice tonight?
You were at 8 last time. I’m guessing you are at something closer to 14.
So with their first round pick, Dolphins got a starting CB, LB and OT. Not bad
I love to see any non-Pats AFCE team get better.
1st round pick and a fair amount of cap room.
Kiko Alonso sucks
I’d be more concerned about Tunsil lack of durability more than a college kid smoking tree… Tho it’s probably more concerning that he has family drama with his step father and someone close to him could be so cruel and post that video at the single most hazardous time imaginable
..
But miami got a hell of a talent for a team that traded out of the top 10
Karl Joseph to OAK? Very good player, but a S coming off injury at 14?
Joseph can be a stud if he’s healthy though
Some people may think this is a reach but I’m personally very high on Karl
Reach sorry
I like him a lot too… But I didn’t see him going top 15, still I think the raiders got a baller
OHHHH SHIT, MAYOCK JUST DROPPED THE BRIAN DAWKINS BOMB
Fuck I like the karl Joseph kid, but I wouldn’t have taken him top 15
wow, what language, your moms and pops must be proud, you jackwad
I am higher on him then most. Unlike alot of DBs i think he is a pretty safe pick. The Sanders comparison that was made by i think Kiper is pretty accurate.
Tunsil, Byron and Kiko for the pick that ended up being used on Conklin, they did good
can’t you argue Byron is a net negative.
Had a bad year with us, but was asked to be a shut down corner, which he’s not. He’s a solid system corner and if they don’t expect him to lineup and shut down the Dez Bryant’s of the world, he’ll be fine.
but I mean player compared to contract.
I’ll give you that 🙂
Correct me if im wrong but didnt they rework his contract? I know Murrays was, but i thought Maxwells was as well.
Think Bucs and Giants had the worst draft so far
I’d throw in San Diego taking Bosa at 3.
Yeah I didn’t love that either…
Agreed. Bad pick. Bosa looks like a solid DE at the pro-level, not a difference maker. Worse, he’s in the wrong defense stylistically.
Trent Cole with his hand in the ground. A more explosive Barwin standing up as a 3-4 OLB.
I think he is a good player, but definitely not 3 overall. I think he will simply be a more explosive Connor Barwin. Again, good player? Yes, but do you want to spend pick 3 on a more explosive Barwin? They should have gone Ramsey or Tunsil/Stanley. Yes i am aware of Tunsils fall, but i think that is a huge mistake for every team that passed him up.
Bucs did alright, got Hargreaves and an extra pick…ID say Titans giving up a 2 and 3 to get Conklin was bleh
Oh that’s a good one too.
Not a hargreaves fan, but can’t knock them getting an extra pick.
..
Chip Kelly got a really good player which annoys me…. At some point he will stop drafting ducks right?
He is a very good player. Safe/solid pick, not flashy by any means. He will amount not be what Cox is to us by any means however.
With the amount of holes they have on their roster I think they may have been better served trading back if that was at all possible for them.
I got to say, Tunsil could not have handled his interview with Deion any better. Good for him.
I don’t think anyone got their mock drafts right this year. Thanks Raiders and Tunsil.
c’mon Paxton! Browns do us a favor here.
How is the Browns taking Paxton doing us a favor?
QB’s going is only way that the Broncos pony up the kind of value to get us to trade Bradford.
A superbowl contender is not starting Paxton Lynch this year.
But they would start Mark Sanchez?
right? It’s weird, what the H is their plan? Waste a year with that D by playing Sanchez? That’s criminal.
I agree. It would be criminal. They need to offer their 1st rounder to the Eagles for Bradford.
No. Those are not their only two options.
I don’t really believe it, but some think Denver is waiting to see if they get a QB before paying our ransom for SB. Now, I don’t think Paxton could beat out Sanchez this year, but hey I don’t have much to root for at this point so here I am.
Paxton can’t play the next two years… Not sure he would have any bearing on the Broncos trading for a QB… Even if they get Lynch, I thinki denver will trade for a QB like Kaep or Glennon
Gotta be Paxton here right?
Nah, rumor is WR, maybe Treadwell. I’d take Myles Jack here.
Yea I would guess Treadwell
I love Coleman. They got a great one there.
Agreed
Holy shit, Tunsil fell that far for smoking some weed? Jameis Winston might’ve raped someone and he still went 1 overall. What a world.
You get suspended for smoking weed.
Nah, it was the gas mask.
I’d rather have a guy who is going to have the balls to do the gasmask.
What is it about the gas mask I don’t get it
You don’t smoke pot with a bong and gas mask unless you’re a MAJOR pothead. Huge red flag in today’s NFL.
Even if it happened in high school?
He didn’t look like he was in high school
Not even the talking heads are buying that.
I see…
As far as I’m concerned, you don’t smoke pot without a gas mask bong 😉 but to each his own I guess
Not really. It’s a gimmicky thing. Serious potheads don’t use a gas mask just like serious alcoholics don’t do beer bongs.
Possibly true, but pics of you doing beer bongs aren’t going to endear you to potential employers either.
It connects to the bong and while you are taking smoke in your lungs, all the smoke also goes in your eyes so when you take it off your eyes are bright red
so you don’t get more high, you just get red eyes? that seems kind of stupid.
Key word . . . . might. As long as he isn’t convicted, NFL can pretend it didn’t happen.
Corey Coleman. Rumor was Treadwell, I guess that was smoke.
They’re sticking with RG3 this year. Better hope the Jets take Lynch.
Bills have to i think
Don’t think Lynch has any bearing on denver trading for a QB or not
The Browns never change.
Think Lions or Falcons are taking Jack
LOL. “Does he know how to run routes? No.”
So. The experts had the top guy wrong for OT, CB, and WR? Must be a great job.
beats weatherman.
To be fair, some people thought Stanley was higher plus there was the video, and many had Coleman above Treadwell
This has been an incredibly entertaining draft.
It’s the only thing on. Atlanta is crushing Boston, and while I enjoy watching the Celtics lose badly, it’s the playoffs and I want to eat h a good game. It’s painful watching the cap/pens, so I can only take it in doses.
Let’s chill on drafting O-line for a bit. Need guys to start getting pushed down.
We’ll have options at 79. Concern would be if they go LB, CB or S at 79 we could have problems.
Kelly, Whitehair, Garnett, Spriggs, Ifedi if all 5 go tonight it’s going to start to be squeaky bum time.
I really want enough oline to be there that we feel comfortable moving back 10 spots and picking up a 4th
Fingers crossed we get a DT at #79
I just think DT is deeper and would rather address oline there.
I’d rather get either a starting quality guard or a tackle with some real potential. I’m perfectly fine with our current DTs. Wouldn’t mind depth, but we can snag a 1 gap player later. Unless someone who should be a 2nd rounder falls . . . .
Browns are doing well.
Got the best WR in the draft and an incredible number of extra picks over this draft and next.
Their rebuild is going to be fun to follow.
At the end of the day. They’re still the Browns.
Mayock waits till the last second, sees who was picked, then calls it out like he knows. Does it every year.
ok kids I’m older and get up some days to run at 5:30, and we don’t pick for weeks, so I’m signing off. You all post well so I have good breakfast reading tomorrow.
Pussy, it’s 4:am here and im on my 4th glass of Turkish coffee..
..
JK…
Miles Jack. Feel sorry for him.
Yeah man..him and ramsey were my favorite players in this draft, so unfortunate that injury is gonna rob him of reaching his full potential
SERIOUSLY THIS DRAFT IS AMAZING.
https://twitter.com/DudeYouCrazy/status/725862548042600449
LOL WTF
ALSO.
Obviously not actually his agent. Just pointing out how FUCKING AMAZING THIS DRAFT IS.
LMAO
Funniest thing I’ve read all week.
That is insane. Sounds like the agent just went on a drunk spiel, and has an axe to grind with the feds. He would have been better off just saying, “yeah my client smoked weed once, he is sorry”.
so Myles Jack is still on the board too? wtf?
Some of the knee concerns finally leaking indicate it’s bad. Very bad.
Knee injuries, man. You cannot risk a high pick on someone with a knee injury, no matter how “athletic” they are.
Especially not when he’s already had surgery and doctor’s are predicting more surgery will be necessary, possibly before he plays a down. Shame, cause the kid is a beast.
Yeah not a 1st rounder
Keanu Neal to Atlanta. Only two DTs drafted so far. Deep position so teams will wait. Will probably be best value in 3rd round.
DT is also our biggest need… I’ll be pissed if we don’t go DT at #79
OL?
Runningback too
DT and LB take precedent over that. Plus if we have to there are still somewhat decent RBs left on the FA market that would be good for depth or situational purposes. Not to mention the RB talent in nexts years draft is insane.
What decent FA RB’s are available? We just signed Mike Martin the other day so I don’t know if DT is still a priority over RB when Matthews is so fragile. I have no faith in him staying healthy at all.
Not so much anymore. The additions of Brooks and Wiz are huge, and im ok with Barbre at depth if Wiz beats him out.
A T would be nice, but i dont think there will be one in the 3rd that would be better then the talent left at DT or LB in the 3rd.
Im having trouble deciding if its DT or MLB. We have 2 starting LBs that have serious durability issues.
On the other hand we are low on depth along the DL with a system that requires talented depth along the DL. The depth we do have among the DL doesnt really match our scheme by any means.
I would go MLB in 3rd if the right player is there. We at least have depth players along the DL even though they arent ideal. This draft is insanely deep along the DL, and a thumper of a MLB would be a nice addition, plus adds possible ST talent.
Falcons needed a pass rusher badly IMO
I don’t get it, Tunsil could have been revealed to be the Zodiac Killer and probably still be worth a top 5 pick. Teams are insane for passing on him for that nonsense. Dolphins lucked out bigtime.
Josh Gordon
While it is a risk i think its an extreme example. Correct me if im wrong but untill now Tunsil was thought of as a high character guy, and he interviewed very well at the combine unlike Gordon.
I feel safe to say that there are tons of high profile college athletes that have smoked weed. Remember when Herremans and Parker got caught smoking weed in the van at Lehigh? Not bad guys by any means.
I think multiple teams have made a serious mistake in passing him up. Less then 2 weeks ago many thought he would be the #1 overall pick. The kid has extreme talent. He simply got caught doing something countless athletes have done at literally the worst possible time.
I actually agree, but I can’t help pointing out the worst case scenario. I actually do remember reading a few things indicating there were some concerns about Tunsil character wise, but I’d have taken the risk. Of course, nfl teams are privy to a lot more detail than we are and Tunsil’s free fall clearly indicates they think the situation is more serious.
Agree 100%. I am shocked how he fell. Conklin over him? Hell no. Does make me wonder if there is more that NFL execs know that has not been leaked to the media yet.
Someone (possibly stepdad) really wants to screw with this kid in a major way.
https://twitter.com/ItMeAnthony/status/725855224007643136
If you have kids that play football, better turn them into a CB or safety. They’ll be guaranteed to be reached for now.
Looks like Keanu is taking the red pil.
Come on two qbs coming up!
For the love of god please give him OL or defense.
for Luck?
Yes
What do you think of Kelly?
He’s good. Solid pick. Bit high positional value wise.
Considering the tremendous need that they have at C i think it makes some sense. To me drafting isnt always about just getting them at the right spot, but getting the player you want, especially when you know you cant get him the next go around.
Yea we’re at the point where it’s more about getting a player that helps maximize the other established players you have. Kelly does that.
I think Kelly’s a very bright coach who refused to adjust last season . . . oh wait . . . you mean the center?
Is that high for a center?
Very very very high
Like tunsil high?
I was literally about to make this exact comment lol
Laremy Tunsil high?
Errrrebody got jokes
Sorry, too easy.
I think Kelly went higher than Frederick a few years ago?
Fredrick was the last pick in round 1 I thought.
I think pick 30 or 31
Pitt took their center somewhere in the 20s.
I couldn’t remember where he went. Frederick was pick 31.
Yeah, he’s good though can play some guard too
Both positions of huge needs for Colts.
Yes, but doesnt mean its a bad move. Worked out for Cowboys unfortunately a few years back. In context it makes sense because Colts have desperately needed a C for years. They identified a player they really liked at a position of huge need and grabbed him knowing that they werent going to have another opportunity to do so.
Bills take lynch?
gotta
Good pick
Yep
I thought he would have gone earlier. Like 2 picks ago.
I like Lawson as much as Bosa . . . but that may be my anti-Ohio St. Bias 😛
Really well rounded player, should be fun for Rex
OH MY GOD WASHINGTON MIGHT GET MYLES JACK
the poor kid
Feel horrible for him. Sucks.
Paxton Lynch begone please.
Doctson Treadwells and DTs galore coming up gentlemen.
Dameshak looks so pissed and reasonably so lol
Its amazing how many teams are set at QB. By my count only 7 teams are truly QB needy
Going to be a lot more in the next few years. Ton of the teams ‘set’ have OLD QB’s.
Myles Jack could go to WAS.
IT’S BEEN GOING SO WELL IN THE NFC EAST
If they’re gonna get a good player at least it’s one who will need microfracture?
Goodbye athleticism, Jack = Amare’ Stoudemire.
looks like DEN is getting lynch
No!! The Cardinals can still take him.
Not sure Lynch is beating out Sanchez for the starting job this year
Uhhh that’s not a QB
Jets are going to run the wing-t this season 😛
Denver is getting Lynch, and all hopes of moving Bradford for any value is gone.
Lynch is talented, but ain’t ready. If I were Denver, I’d still take Bradford over pretty much any of their remaining possibilities. Don’t blame them for now wanting to overpay though. They aren’t run by Chip Kelly 😛
I wouldn’t be surprised to see KC take Lynch. Reid loves QBs.
Maybe they’ll trade for Bradford to be their bridge to Lynch until he’s ready??? Oh wait………
Double upvote if I could.
Houston moved up 1 spot to WAS’s picks. My guess is they were afraid someone else would move up for whatever WR they want.
Doctson?
Treadwell? Good possession complement to Hopkins.
Doctson, Minnesota apparenly wants him really bad
Treadwell wouldn’t be that bad for them if the Texans do take Doctson.

Was there an exchange of money between you and your coach?
Tunsil: I have to say yeah.
wow
good lort
Clearly he hasn’t quit smoking pot yet . . . .
Maybe he needed some smaller bills for parking?
Is this for real?
Holy shit he’s in the clear but his coach is gonna get fucked for this.
Hahhahaha you mean Hugh Freeze isn’t the greatest recruiter of all time and when Ole Miss suddenly got the top rated recruiting class out of no where there was money involved? GASP
Oh
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
???
Fuller before Treadwell.
Doctson is better than either
Deep threat body catcher.
So a lot of better WRs in your opinion were still available?
One trick ponies usually don’t go this high. Especially if he has hands issues, which I did not know 😛
Treadwell and Doctson certainly. Fullers more of a late 2 or 3rd round guy to me.
I kinda like Fuller.
I don’t disagree, just surprised you feel so strongly
You just won’t be fast enough to body catch on deep routes in the NFL
Not a Fuller fan?
He’s Devin Smith. Actually no Smith had ball skills
You can’t mock Philly guys!!
Seems teams want speed at WR above all other things.
Hey if Treadwell falls to the 3rd . . . .
What did wash get for that joke of a trade up?
2017 6th round pick.
I can live with that, although it was free.
this was clearly a ploy for more commercial breaks
One pick? Probably a 4 or 5. Or less
Any chance Arizona takes lynch? Palmer isn’t getting any younger
I will endlessly mock him for drafting a Power Spread QB. Fuckin hypocrite.
He can coach, but it doesn’t make up for the grating personality.
Fooook.
Interesting
Mannnnnn.
I like Doctson a lot.
So, given that this is a DT rich draft and a lot of DT’s haven’t come off the board, going to be a lot of quality guys later this draft.
Think everybody is confident they can get a good guy later, thereby pushing everyone down, helping ensure teams can get a good guy later. Self fufilling feedback loop.
Now they can release DJax over his gang ties
Crips or bloods?!
Jets or Sharks in his case.
Wait? Josh Doctson is Jordan Matthews? What a weird ass comp.
Very.
I’d have thought Doctson has better ball skills.
Much more of a jump ball guy too.
Right. This.
Their respective hands, ball skills and ability to win at that catch point aren’t even on the same planet.
Doctson runs cleaner routes too.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
*BREATHES*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And now Shaw says the same thing. Huh.
Would Jordy Nelson be a fair comp?
I see more poor mans AJ Green.
POpe JosH!!
Byzantine papacy!
Better than cardboard cutout!!
I knew AP European History would pay off someday…
Josh Doctson to Redskins. Wonder if this leads to release/trade of Garcon or DeSean. Crowder is their slot WR.
Garcon please Howie.
Well shit
Good news he’s 24.
Hmm what if Jack falls to the 2nd round to the mtherfkn Cowgirls lol Someone draft him maaan
If his knees are that bad, it won’t make a difference if they do. So far 22 other teams have passed on him
It’s like they got 20 first round picks!
Wasn’t this the narrative last year for them?
yeah, they had like three first round picks which helped them become the best 4 win team ever
LM*AO
Best 4 win team ever?
If only they could draft an Ademantium spine for romo

@joelklatt
The #Broncos are trying to trade up right now
Not a good sign that they think they’ll be trading other picks later
NO
My theory: Broncos offered 31 for Bradford. Howies said: NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!! Get us a higher pick.
Ha
Heh
Why, who else is gonna take a QB?
anyone else surprised about treadwell?
Not really
Slow 40?
Gas mask bomg?
Me. I thought he was a late teens early twenties guy so if he gets picked now, it’s the right area. Surprised about the guys who went before him though.
i just saw a zillion things saying he’d be the first wr off
Not at all
He’ll outplay his draft stock.
Skol
This Tunsil shit is totally insane. Off the rails.
Supposed to be the best night of the kid’s life, and he’s probably not gonna be able to sleep tonight.
Ole Miss is probably melting down right now.
He’s got some rrally smart friends
The “exchange of money with your coach” thing is the way bigger story.
???
Quick summary?
He basically confirmed to some reporter that he got paid to go to Ole Miss.
Ole Miss is gonna get hit with sanctions.
In reality they all do it.
But in order to keep up appearances and keep the cartel alive you must take your pound of flesh.
Rick’s Cafe.
Thanks, Coach.
His Instagram was also hacked, in addition to his Twitter.
The pictures posted were screen grabs of him texting his coach telling him he needed money to pay for his mom’s bills.
They could have been photoshopped obviously…..WHICH IS WHY YOU DON’T ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
Holy hell
IT’S ******INSANE*********
yeah but it can’t hurt him right?
For college football fans maybe.
NFL teams don’t give a shit that these guys get paid under the table. They all do.
I bet his coach is a little unhappy ATM though. Gonna be hard for compliance to ignore that.
It does comment on his intelligence though. Everyone does it, but most players are smart enough to stay quiet about it. Between this and the pot vid, serious questions about Tunsil’s brain.
Agreed. BUT IT’S STILL FUCKING INSANE to be going down during the draft like this.
Did he drop passes for money also ?
If Jeff gives me 100K ill make sure he drops a few passes
Must have called his cousin a fatass Kelly Price
I know I wouldn’t miss Ole Miss or MS.
if i was one of these top prospects i’d have a bowl for everyone’s phones right at the front door

Lynch?
Not anymore, lol. I do not like Lynch but i think if he were to succeed on a team it would 100% be Denver.
Jack?
William Jackson III to Bengals. I bet Pittsburgh is disappointed.
Alexander still on the board.
https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/725880312320937985
REACH
Run on CB, they are so hard to get good ones.
Huh..ok
Denver just traded up
The dream is over. Screw you Bradford.
F Bradford. Bastard.
Denver traded up to 26? Cook? Lynch?
Lynch is more talented, Cook’s more polished and ready.
might be Cook
It’s Cook
That arm in that wind?
Kubiak boot based offense.
Mistake imho if true. Serious questions on his accuracy.
Ah, man, don’t spoil the picks.
That’s just what I’ve believed they were gonna do makes most sense scheme wise.
Could by Myles Jack too. Lost Trevathan.
That would be hilarious
Starting from when Tennessee traded their pick untill now this draft has been the most entertaining and unpredictable one i have ever witnessed.
Im just waiting to here that Bradford is traded for a 2nd or something.
In a heartbeat
If we havent 100% already i guess we can take Denver out of the list of trade candidates.
Patrick Smyth

Broncos have traded 1-31 and 3-94 to Seattle for 1-26.
that’s not a bad deal but what a shitty pick
LOL at Connor Cook being your starting QB.
They could have had Bradford for a 2nd, instead waste a 1st on Connor Cook.
I think they could have had Bradford for a 3rd, maybe a 4th. So yeah, not their brightest move.
Dirt cheap QB play helps them fit in everyone.
True, but they could afford Bradford. While I’m not a Bradford fan, give him a team w/a dominant D and a solid running game and he won’t lose games for you.
So can Cook. He’s an experienced game manager. And buys them 4 or 5 years of being able to pay everybody.
Cook couldn’t complete 60% of his throws in college. No way he manages to do that in the pro’s. Moot cause they took Lynch who is the higher upside guy, but he’s got a lot of work to do learning the pro passing game.
AND A 3RD!
L-OH-FUCKING-L.
John Elway too smart for his own good.
I’d take door #2 over Bradford and that contract too.
His contract is pretty good for the other team tho
@Yeah but cook is sooooo much better than Bradford. @
a 1 and a 3 for Cook
Lynch as it turns out
I wonder what the Broncos offer was for Bradford. IMO we should have jumped on almost anything but I can’t stand Bradford so I’m biased.
Not trying to help those cheapasses win another SB without good conpensation
but now we have a prick at qb for no compensation
Who cares about the Broncos, all I care about is getting ours.
They won’t get anything for him now. Useless.
F*ck Bradford. Your bias is allowed and appreciated.
A little late, but I love CIN stealing William Jackson from PIT. Big gap between those two guys.
Cowboys, Titans want in probably cuz of them Alabama defensive players for the altter
WHOA.
ALSO,
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Has a non combine player been picked yet?
Replace Peyton Manning. No pressure, Paxton.
Being mentored by the one and only Butt Fumble.
Well I guess the Broncos don’t care about trying to win this year, but if Lynch pans out that’s better than paying Sam
Jets should trade for Bradford.
Just trade him to the Browns.
Well they replaced Osweiler with his clone for 60 million dollars less.
lol
https://twitter.com/AllbrightNFL/status/725883385864839168
Priceless, that’s pure gold.
Get your shit together, Sam!
F him. I don’t want him here.
Who was gonna take cook before 31?
Okay, we got Wentz. Time to get an OL and WRs… at some point.
Tomorrow. And sat.
lol Sam just got bodied
Only two DTs taken so far in Rd 1. DT is likely to be best value in Rd 3, might still be quality players available in Rd 5.
Austin Johnson
Maybe. There was a run on WRs earlier so I’m not going to rule out a run on DTs in the 2nd/3rd round.
Clark, Billing, Reed, Robinson, Jones, Butler, Nkemdiche, Bullard all were seen as guys who could go in the first.
Then you have your Austin Johnson, Sheldon Day, Adolphus Washington, Ridgeway, Ward, Hargraves.
Clark went to the Packers.
Still 7 DTs with first round grades.
They’ll be a run on dt/de in 2nd. Ten will go of board.
Jack’s knee must be really bad. Gotta feel for the guy with that much talent.
I just puked at the idea of Hackenberg going in the first round.
Before lynch?
Before and after
Hack shouldn’t go before the 5th based on the way he played the last two years. He’s talented but so very, very flawed.
I feel really bad for Jack
The Myles Jack pictures make me sad.
bruh Jack wasn’t even the first defender drafted on his team
Surprised to see Clark go this high, over some other DTs.
Very much fits the size and athletic profile that GB wants. Arif and Justis have been guessing Clark at this pick for weeks.
#DraftTwitter tripping over itself congratulating John Elway for drafting Paxton Lynch.
I dont like Lynch, but if there is 1 team that he could succeed with it would be Denver. They have a young and by far talented enough team to help him succeed. Also good coaching. Baring any major surprise he will not play this year which will give him time to learn.
Hell, I think Denver is talented enough to be a deep playoff contender with Sanchez and help him have a career year.
It also shows that while Denver is in “win again” mode they are looking to the future. They know that they are good enough to not be in striking distance of a QB as talented (but raw) as Lynch in an upcoming draft.
Again i do not necessarily like Lynch, but for Denver it was a good move. For other teams not so much at that spot in the draft.
Clearly Myles Jack’s knee got him seriously red flagged. You’d think the NFL would know better than to invite a guy though if there were even whispers he was going to slide this way.
Think invites went out before medical rechecks.
They @!#$ed up then.
Adds to the “reality show” that is the NFL draft.
When he got that invite, him and most teams didn’t know the knee was this big a deal
Would be crazy if some team drafted Smith before Jack.
Did I call this or what? And, it was indeed crazy – Jerruh. It’s almost as if I have a source……….
https://twitter.com/Edwerderespn/status/725885374271246336
Hopefully DAL trades a bunch of assets for Connor Cook.
Since I think Cook’s a probable bust in the NFL, that would thrill me 🙂
You see this?
https://twitter.com/OptimumScouting/status/725687607456223232
LOL, no. My concern was more his accuracy, or lack of it. Makes me want him as a Cowboy even more 🙂
He and Chip can be anti social together
Hahahahaaaaaaa omg can you imagine someones mom making a “threatening” call? What a weirdo she must be.
https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/725842796054089729
demarco was an awesome touch
Why has there been such a rise in uses of the saying “nice touch”. ” touch touch touch”. ” on point” as well.
Like children that have learned a new word.
whoa this is the most dickish and poorly conceived comment i’ve seen in quite a while. in this situation “awesome touch” seemed appropriate because it was a subtle addition which i found pleasing. i’d be shocked if the thesaurus didn’t include “subtle addition” under “touch,” as it’s a word that people use pretty often for that purpose. why do certain phrases come into and out of vogue? i’d imagine you’d want to ask a linguist or anthropologist as opposed to sounding like andy rooney with PMS on a football site?
Nothing sinister about my comment, it just grinds how over used it is.
No idea what that last sentence means.
“XYZ is a nice touch”. I find to just be pretentious. It was rarely used just a year ago.
Once something hits social media, the parrots get a hold of it.
holy shit that’s amazing
ROTFL
49ers traded up, my guess is for Connor Cook. Or maybe Myles Jack.
Field Yates @FieldYates 12s13 seconds ago
Terms of the deal: San Francisco sends 2016 2nd, 4th and 6th round picks to Kansas City for pick 28.
Come on Chip, take Hack.
That sucks for him.
Wonder who they would jump if it is for Cook.
Allen is better than Cook
Repeatable accuracy is the most important . . . oh wait.
Cook has a growth mindset
If Chip takes Hack I will lol for days
LOL Chip.
Good player but trade up not needed.
You think Chip has gotten major draft influence already? I guess the Oregon pick earlier might indicate that…
Just cuz Buck is from Oregon doesn’t mean it was because of Chip….looking at who was available I think they made the right choice
I’d have taken Buck regardless of where he’s from. Talented player.
Exactly… who are you taking over him there?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Man there’s a lot of talent left on the board.
Damn you Sam Bradford.
I’d be screaming for a trade up for Mackensie Alexander if we had a 2nd
He’s such a knucklehead though.
Because he said he’s the best CB in the draft at the combine?
No, there was other stuff out there. Have to find it.
I don’t mind my CBs being a bit nutty.
Not enuff interceptionzz
Remember when people thought that Chip was smart?
wow he really needs a grownup in that draft room
Gamble has tied Baalke up and thrown him in a broom closet.
Mayock just dropped the bubble butt!
Garnetts a good player, but the transition from Stanfords scheme to Chips couldn’t be more diverse.
Also noticed the typical Andy trade down. Throw us that spare pick Andy?
Andy loves his picks. Nothing wrong with that.
Looks like they picked up a 4th and a 6th to drop from 28 to 37.
I just do not understand trading up to take a guard. D3FB, maybe you can tell me if there’s a big drop off between Garnett and the next guy, but it just feels weird to me.
They gotta replace the guy who retired because their front office doesn’t want to win. lol. What a dysfunctional fucking organization.
I have Whitehair as my top guard. He’s experienced with zone and technically super efficient. Plus you have guys like Westerman and McGovern who I like alot as well.
I like Garnett but schemeatically it’s a bit different than what he’s used to…
http://cdn0.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1905765/BYkZYKoCIAEoN8H.jpg
What formation is Stanford running there, I know they’re a nerdy smart school but are they really allowed to line up 13 extra guys to compensate?
It’s called the 8000 OL a QB and a RB.
Looks like something Andy would call a play-action pass out of.
LOL, Walterfootball just gave the 9ers his infamous “Millen” grade for the Garnett pick.
While I sort of agree, WalterFootball is an idiot.
No argument. He entertains me regardless.
GE beers count: #10
Prost!
GE’s not even watching the draft anymore, he’s just drinking.
DTs are starting to go now. Still a lot of depth there.
Barring a run of 20 or so str8, I’m not worried. Frankly if that does happen, means we should get a quality OL in the 3rd.
So Carolina not paying Star or Kwann?
God I hate the cards
man arians gets a steal and that d gets even better
NFC West should be an entertaining division . . . assuming you like defense 🙂
i look forward to watching Chip try and manage a field goal
Three very talented defenses. Arizona has the best O, and it’s a high risk down the field O. Lots and lots of 1 2 3, kick!
Cam be praying for Spriggs.
What…? That DL is so stacked.
CAR takes DT Vernon Butler. I guess that’s BPA. No need at DT really.
this is a great draft for non desperate teams to sit pat
Kwann Short seeing dollar signs
Planning ahead for letting either Short or Star go after next season.
Like Birds choice of Lito in 2003?
Star already had his 5th year option picked up. So I’m guessing it’s Short.
Star has disappointed since Rookie year. I’d be shocked if they don’t sign Shortt
It’s possible.

Holding on to Bradford kept Denver in on Lynch and that’s why Dallas couldn’t get to Lynch first. Thank Howie
No. Dallas didn’t offer enough to jump Denver
But think of all the cocaine cowboy jokes!
Reg, A’Shawn and Reed not picked
no Jack
Ifedi is a nice pickup. Fits that Seahawk OL philosophy very well.
Doesn’t play DL.
Heart goes out to Myles Jack.
word…sucks to see 2 top 5 players in the draft not get picked cuz of injuries
Any non-combine players get picked?
In round 1? No.
Kevin Byard is going to be the first one off the board. That’s 3rd-4th round at earliest.

Really hope CLE takes Jack first tomorrow.
Local Ole Miss legal community is on the phones frantic at midnight snd probably all night.. if you’re an Ol Miss coach you are talking to a lawyer

Do you want me to list all 22 names?
Seems Girl’s fans are pretty split on Zeke
I am excited about the team in a special way since we got rid of chipper
Now, hopefully this turns into a 15 yr qb run with wentz.
