My bold prediction is that the Browns will stay put with their first-round picks and that four of their first five picks will be on offense

I had a dream last night where Watkins went 1, Robinson went 2, picks 3 through 5 were a blur, but Clowney was there at 6 and I was ever so excited. Yes, I have a problem, shut up.

It's kind of boring when the only realistic question is what fills in the blanks in the following statement: "With the 24th pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select _______, cornerback, university of ______" though I've been surprised before and hey, at least we still have a first round pick Also I think there's a near 100% chance that whatever Atlanta does will be dumb as hell, and Cleveland probably isn't going to end up with a QB unless they go for one at 4 or make some hilarious trade up from 26

I predict that Dallas will either trade up or trade down before their 1st round pick, and that they will miss out on Donald and it will make me sad Reach of the draft: Tom Savage Browns will do something hilarious at some point in the 1st Raiders will do something that gets Reggie one step closer to being fired Hmm I'm not sure any of those predictions are particularly bold

Teddy Bridgewater will go in the top 10 and all of the hand wringing about his draft stock tanking is just a smokescreen gone horrible awry. (Judging by some of the mocks here, this isn't as bold a prediction as I hoped.) The big three quarterbacks (Bridgewater, JFF, Bortles) will all be gone by the end of the first round. Bortles will not be one of the first three quarterbacks off the board. Atlanta bucks tradition and trades down. Either the Raiders or the Browns will as well, with less compensation than they probably should get. Trades make this impossible, but whatever, I'm an NFL junkie. I'm assuming a goddamn crazy first round: 1. TEXANS - Clowney 2. RAMS - Robinson 3. JAGUARS - Bridgewater 4. BROWNS - Manziel 5. JETS (via Raiders) - Watkins 6. LIONS (via Falcons) - Evans 7. BUCCANEERS - Mack 8. DOLPHINS (via Vikings) - Matthews 9. BILLS - Mosley 10. FALCONS - Donald

Oh, also, FWIW prediction makers, the Bills did not have Taylor Lewan in as a pre-draft visitor. The Bills have had their first-round pick visit them first since Nix/Whaley took over. If Buffalo takes a tackle after Robinson and Matthews are off the board, smart money's on Zack Martin.

I really want to come away from Miami's draft believing we will have a run game this year. I want Carlos Hyde and a couple of fat guys to block for him. We will probably not do these things.

Detroit Lions - Derqueze Dennard Reach of the Draft: Derek Carr Steal of the Draft: Jake Matthews (he falls out of the top ten for some reason) Sammy Watkins could too, but I expect St. Louis to trade back up into the top ten for him.

The Browns are going to take a hilarious reach at 4 and then trade up from 26 later on to get a non-Bridgewater/Manziel QB. Also the Browns will be drafting top 5 next year, where will we be talking about how they just need one more piece on offense to become something good.

My bold prediction is that: The draft thread will be half full of people just trying to get into "draft.jpg." Instead of actually commenting on the picks they will just spam "OMG LOLz can you believe that! Draft.jpg am i right guys  !" after every single pick regardless of who or where they are taken in a desperate hope they get included in something that hasn't been funny for years.Seriously, can we get a "No draft.jpg" clause this year?

Yeah some people force the issue on Draft gif but crazy poo poo always happens and if we get the Browns trading up to draft AJ McCarron while Bridgewater is still on the board or something I think making a gif out of that would be worth it, because for the most part those reactions would be genuine. The draft is a GDT anyway, two pages of HOLY poo poo is par for the course, why complain about it VVVVV Edit: To happy helmet's credit, Ted Ginn Jr's drafting is the origin of Draft.gif and ever since then it's been attempts to recreate the magic to varying degrees of success. The Raiders drafting DHB was great, but the Bruce Irvin moment was full of forced laughter Febreeze fucked around with this message at 19:27 on May 7, 2014 |
