hey, so you liked the 2021 draft? You're getting soft on us!

 

[Brick27]

Can’t imagine there would be a QB worth taking at 14 since the top 4 will be gone by then

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Is this thread going to be littered with folks checking twitter like we all could if we wanted and posting the pick 30 seconds earlier than the telecast while thinking they’re freaking Adam Schefter with their “scoop”?

Usually we have a gentleman’s agree not to tip draft picks in this thread. I hope everyone abides by it.

That one's a little tricky because some of us don't have cable and will be following it on Twitter.

I know it was a Haley’s Comet situation, but there was a QB from Michigan U that had even more than 4 guys ahead of him in the late 90s.

 

[Love The Drake]

Both those picks could be had later on.

I’d really hope for a trade down vs this.

I also disagree with the premise because no one has ever abided by that and frankly I find tipping of the picks more fun.

Who doesn't want real time information?

 

[JarOfMayo51]

if you dont have cable, but you have the disney/hulu package (dont need the LiveTV bundle Update: this may not be true, i guess ill find out in 30 minutes), you can watch the game on the ESPN app.. im watching it now on my Chromecast via the app

can also watch on the ABC App

can watch on your phone and possibly cast to your TV, but some of the Apps seem to be all over that for NFL products

smart tv with the apps works as well

Curran also said NE definitely won't be picking a QB today.

In this case, definitely don't want to tip the picks, but obviously without the broadcast (I turn off my service every February until August), it's hard to know if they've aired the pick yet.

I don’t mind the tipping as much for other teams (not that I want it), but definitely not for the Pats. I’ve found the easiest way to avoid that is to just stop refreshing this site when the Pats are on the clock.

The O-line has to be fixed, i read recently that MJones averaged just 2.2 seconds to get rid of the ball. The line has been a problem since Bradys last year here. So i expect the FO to take a punter

Always seems like ESPN requires me to "confirm my television provider" in order to use the app to watch the live broadcast of their channel.

I’m sure we will hear the “well X team was going to take him” nonsense

 

[JarOfMayo51]

i have a feeling we're going to see a frenzy on CBs that goes into the 2nd round

lots of nice toys this year

Yeah I mean I hate to sound like a Karen, but it’s enjoyable to be able to chat on here without all the pseudo insiders trying to get praise for being “first” and making the telecast redundant.

Common sense says these people could just view a draft tracker on cbs, espn, etc and just comment after it shows there, as they are largely in line with the TV telecasts

youre right, you do need the livetv i guess lol

Might be tough. A lot of teams expected to trade back and it may make it tough for them to move back to a spot they're comfortable with if that's what we're thinking. Should be interesting but if they don't, that's likely the reason.
