    Am I the only one caring, or did I miss the thread somewhere?

    Who are you repping? I know there are a bunch of Seahawk and 49er fans, but anyone else?

    CLE on the clock...

    No Woj bombs, so this should be fun...

    Baker Mayfield. Anyone sure they didn't just take Johnny Manziel, Jr?

    Saquon Barkley at #2 to NYG. I'm not sure it's a good value pick here. The Giants likely will not be in a position to draft a QB Top 5 for a long time, (with Darnold still on teh board could've done the Aaron Rodgers-to-Favre thing for a couple of years), and

    Don't get me wrong, I love Barkley as a player. But giving a RB a guaranteed 4/32 or so it like Leveon Bell territory while giving up the #2 pick for him also and knowing your franchise QB is 39 next year isn't a good setup.

    I mean, I think getting Darnold (let's say) this year and using a pick later on for someone like Chubb is better than taking Barkley at #2 and picking someone like Lamar Jackson (if he even makes it to the 2nd round)

    It looks like NYJ will have their choice of the Top 3 QBs, when if they would've stayed at 6 they may likely have had exactly what they thought they were going to get moving up to 3.

    Darnold it is to the Jets. They super-lucked out.

    Now it's a question of if CLE takes Chubb with the pick here, or trades it to someone (BUF?) who had no idea that Rosen and Allen would still be here. I actually like Fitzpatrick, but I don't think you can go wrong.

    Repping the Cowboys and they just picked up the linebacker out of Boise State that killed the Ducks in the bowl game, Leighton Vander Esch.

    Packers fan, baby! I like our pick with CB Jaire Alexander while also picking up a 1st round pick for the 2019 draft.

    Ridley going to ATL could be dangerous...

    Seahawks time. I'm almost wishing for an Earl Thomas to be traded so we can pick up Edwards (C) or Jackson (CB) or Hughes (Short CB) here , and one of the others w/the Cowboys pick we get for tomorrow. And Shaqem Griffin in the 3rd.

    I started back in the early 60's with Dandy Don Meredith. What's funny is I chose Dallas based on their team colors as they were similar to Grant High School and it was before I went there but I had two older sisters that went there so went to all the football games and Cowboys looked similar. Crazy how we first pick our teams as a kid.

    No you aren't. No one saw that coming. I almost threw my drink through the TV when they took Penny. Then I started doing some research, and I like the kid quit a bit. It was definitely a reach, but according to Pete and John, he graded out almost as well as Barkley. Obviously Seattle's run game was beyond pathetic last season, due in large part to their terrible offensive line, but our RB's didn't do much to help after Carson went down. In addition to that, we have Brown in his first full year in Seattle, Pocic another year, Ifedi another year and signed Fluker......and got rid of Tom Cable. It's pretty clear Pete and John still have some faith that this OL can get better under a new OL coach and another year of experience, so they went and grabbed a dynamic RB.

    Very interested to see if they trade Earl today

    In the 2nd Round Green Bay selected CB Josh Jackson. Another quality pick to add to the secondary. Wow!
