I haven't been following college ball as well as I used to... how did the Packers do, aside from the no-brainer Kevin King pick we all knew was gonna happen? I don't know who the rest of these dudes are.

Well, I didn't expect world shaking poo poo with the Packers being at 29 and I figured Ted would trade out of the first round, he's done that before.

1/3rds of the draft won't make it out of camp, most likely, because the Packers drafted two WRs and three RBs and the offense is already stacked. Malachi Dupre looks like he might stick around, Yancey probably won't, one of Janis/Davis is probably gone. One of the three RBs we took will probably end up our main bruiser with Monty spelling him.

The defensive picks seem good - not only do they fill a need, they're also significantly larger and faster than the usual players we draft. Also we drafted Vince Biegel out of Wisconsin and I'm sure he's selling dozens of jerseys already.

There's some speculation that Eliot Wolf had much more of a hand in this offseason's free agency and drafting, which is why it seems so uncharacteristic of Ted's usual approach.

Right, when I saw 3 RBs I knew right away that they're gonna shake that tree until something decent falls out and toss the rest. I was happy with the Kevin King pick and also the trade down when the guys realized he'd probably still be there at the top of the 2nd. Might as well get him and an extra pick to throw a dart and see if it lands. Not sure what to think about the late round WRs but if even one pans out it's a win. It wouldn't be the first time one became a legit starter with the Pack.

I hope Mahomes does get the time to sit and learn from Andy before he has to take the field, because if he corrects his footwork and his pocket presence we really could be looking at a monster. I think his ceiling could really be the best years of Brett Favre with possibly an even bigger arm. The difficult part is going to be getting him to that ceiling because good god drat he's raw and he's just not NFL ready right now. I'd love to see it, though. He's got an arm that won't quit and the talent to funsling a 70 yard bomb from the opposite side of the field and I love that kind of bullshit. (See also: Aaron Rodgers heaving a 60 yard hail mary while running at full speed, and scoring a loving TD)

Oh horse poo poo. I know you hate the Chiefs but you can't tell me that wouldn't be fun to watch.

I couldn't even enjoy Jamaal Charles, who is my football spirit animal. I wish he was dead, even. The gently caress do I care about another wanna be Derek Carr. I hope a teammate murder suicides him.

You are a monster.

It hurts my soul to imagine anyone not wanting to see the dragon unleashed in the most hilarious possible ways.

Heck, *we* don't even have a draft grade thread this year.

Which is surprising, but considering the chaos factor of this year's first round, I understand it.

I remember people calling for his head on a pike for "Martyball" and supposedly wasting LdT's prime.

Yeah, if there's like one thing Chiefs and Chargers fans agree on, it's that Marty Schottenheimer loving ruled.

Well, aside for "gently caress the Raiders" and "gently caress the Broncos" but that goes without saying


Marty probably wouldn't have won a title in SD, but at the same time I think most Chargers fans nowadays (what's left of us, anyway) recognize it was stupid to get rid of him, especially after a 14-2 season.

Like most things, I blame Dean Spanos.

I worked with a Charger fan who loved the firing and talked about how it was a bold move that would end the perpetual playoff exits and the future was gonna be so bright.

He was a loving idiot.

My high school (years and years after I graduated) had Jarius Wright, Greg Childs and Chris Gragg. All at the same time. Holy poo poo.

Hey buddy I hope the Chargers win one too. You know drat well they're my favorite AFC team. Especially if it's still with Rivers at the helm. He deserves one, but with the state the franchise is in right now, I think he'll retire without even sniffing one :(

Sorry man. Rivers deserved better. He's one of my favorite QBs in the league.
