Trade with the Jets and they'll both gently caress up their picks.

Deshaun Watson has declined his Senior Bowl invite. This could indicate that he thinks he's a lock for a high 1st pick but Teddy also skipped and he fell to the end of the round.

Hahahahaha, I laugh so hard when reminded of the circumstances of Teddy's draft position.

Poor loving Texans. And they didn't get Carr either!

I haven't ever had more fun watching the draft, and I never will again.

Every loving quarterback to come out of the first 2 rounds of that draft is worlds better than anything the Texans have trotted out at QB since. And yes, that includes Johnny Manziel, somehow.

Take the BPA on their board or trade down. They seem to be getting better about the draft with the analytics guys in place.

Fitzpatrick as a Texan was way better than JFF but otherwise yes

Also Hoyer had a really solid season that was overshadowed by his playoff meltdown

Why would anyone even want to trade up in this draft? Garrett is the 1a but has questions about him, Allen is unexciting but looks to be very good, and then a whole lot of 'eh he's ok I guess' where you'd hope to draft those players at #10 instead of #3-5.

No one thought teams would spend the draft capital to trade up for Wentz/Goff and here we are.

Hue is coaching in the Senior Bowl this year to. There's been some excitement that he'd use the chance to evaluate potential qb's. Looks like Watson is purposely avoiding a possible Browns pick.

The wide receiver class from that year really threw me for a loop.

My rankings were Evans-Watkins-Landry-Robinson-Cooks-Beckham-Lee-Benjamin.

In reality it turns out beckham was way better than I thought, Lee was way worse and Watkins was kind of a disappointment. I was at least right about how sneaky awesome Allen Robinson was. And I still have no idea where to put benjamin.

I mean, LSU had two 1000 yard receivers that year in a run focused offense. Beckham wasn't exactly a hidden gem, he and Landry were both very productive.

Just as far as I remember a lot of the narrative that year was that Beckham was the beneficiary of Landry's amazing play and the defense having to focus on him. Everyone said his route running was better but that Landry was better in every other way.

Edit: Up until the draft most mocks had him falling to the Panthers and being like the 5th receiver drafted (after evans, watkins, landry and cooks)

Odell was pretty much always rated higher than Landry because he has elite speed. I don't think any mock anywhere had Landry in the first round whereas most all of them had Odell there after the 2013 season.

Landry was a lot like Nuk Hopkins, a sure handed possession guy who was seen as a good compliment to the more dynamic receivers they played with.

He must've stopped giving a poo poo because I can do that much and I'm out of shape as gently caress.

Anyhow, for years I've been wanting the Cowboys to get a top flight safety, and it seems like they won't even be able to sniff one this time around. Should I be sold on Byron Jones? He doesn't come off as that midfielder-type safety to me. Is it too soon?

A good bench is very anatomically unforgiving in a way that squats and deadlifts aren't.

Yeah I was really low on him and didn't like the pick at all at the time. I believe my top five at the time was Watkins - Evans - Cooks - Benjamin - Lee with Moncrief, Odell, Landry, and Allen all fighting for the sixth spot.

e: Of course...

Quarterback
