i hold no ill will towards kansas city, but as a bills fan, i hope the chiefs implode in spectacular, "homer-at-the-bat" fashion minus the game-winning run being scored off of homer's noggin

sean10mm posted:Serious pick or comedy pick? I don't know if it's because they've spent the last several years watching Alex Smith behind center, but Chiefs fans unironically are into the Mahomes pick. I guess I've made my feelings known on him, so I'll just say I'm ecstatic about the Bills' haul.

DariusLikewise posted:I was hoping Reuben Foster or Evan Engram would drop to 37 for the Rams to take, long shot on either though. Getting one of Kelvin King, Lamp or Cam Robinson would be nice though, unless there's another tall possession type receiver that would be worth taking at the top of the 2nd. JuJu Smith-Schuster fits that description. Unless his back is ruined, which it may well be.

Yinzers are hella mad that the Steelers passed on Foster. I mean furious. I don't understand why the he'll you'd want a Lawrence Timmons clone in this post AFCCG curbstomping era. Even without the drug issues, and hosed shoulders, he isn't good enough in coverage to run anything but zone, and well, they simply don't need another guy in that mold. He's not Reddick or Jarrad Davis, and those guys are the future, not the past. Just wanna send a few special shootouts to Miami, Cleveland and Atlanta for saving the Steelers from themselves and taking the guy with a low SPARQ score, the positionless DB, and the guy who is only fast in a straight line respectively. Top of the list of thank yous goes out to Green Bay for trading back and allowing yet another unexpected baller to fall into the Steelers' lap.

lol there's people on the Bucs message board pissed they took OJ Howard when Cook was available. So much so that the site wrote an article about it. I won't copy the whole thing here but this part is a GEM:quote:Before delving into the possible answers to that question, it should be pointed out that at no time did PewterReport.com project the Florida State runner to Tampa Bay. Cook wasn’t in any of our five Bucs’ 7-Round Mock Drafts, nor was he featured in our Bucs’ Best Bets at the running back position. To be clear, our staff liked Cook the player, but felt there was something to the reports that he hangs out with the wrong crowd because it was such a strong narrative leading up to the draft. https://www.pewterreport.com/1005078-2/

FizFashizzle posted:Oh man this guy shut me down It's not a terrible comparison. Brian Westbrook is McCaffrey's ideal ceiling. Reggie Bush is his floor. They're kind of all in the same mold. I didn't want him though because I don't have the confidence that Cam can develop into the same caliber passer that McNabb was or that Shula can rework the offense over the next two years to fit McCaffrey better. But it could work out. I just also think we passed on a top tier CB, a free safety, a couple of good DEs/DT and a second TE.

Again, I haven't been up on draft coverage, but why are people down on Deshaun Watson? It was clear his accuracy was up and down but if you put stock in the overall body of work I get why a team would go in on him.

I feel like draft writers have some kind of "bad team tax" where you're obligated to spend at least one high-value pick on a questionable quarterback every two years. It's kind of fascinating to watch the same people that quote scouts saying "I don't think any of these players are first-round talents" write articles where they complain that the Browns didn't pick them in the first round. And then they write articles saying that the team should spend a second-round pick on "guy who cannot throw the ball accurately but has the upside of maybe not making GBS threads his pants on live tv in a few years if he's developed well": quote:Nathan Peterman fits the bill, as he has a pro-caliber arm and a good head on his shoulders. He struggles with delivering the ball on target, but that is something the Browns will have to live with considering the lack of elite-tier quarterbacks left on the board. If Peterman can improve his accuracy, he has a shot at being a decent starter in Cleveland. Yes, your team may still have terrible players starting at FS, CB, WR (sorry, but kenny britt isn't the solution), ILB, possibly at least one DT, possibly RT, but why would you draft one of those when you could overdraft the guy whose glowing review from a scout was "Like him. He's a Brian Hoyer."

Take it from a fan of a team that went all in on a Quarterback with no talent on offense, it's a loving dumb idea. The Browns are doing a smart thing by getting a good surrounding cast in place first and waiting for better QB prospects next year.

It all comes down to if it Trubisky is any good and I have my doubts but This team isn't going to be good barring a miracle anyway. Might as well shoot for the moon at QB rather than getting 2-3 more bench warmers or low level starters.
