DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2018 Draft Round 1 Thread

This wins.

You don't throw 1st round pick on a solid center, or do you?

I don't mind too much going IOL in 1st (as long as its not OT - since McGlinchy will be long gone) . but there are only two prospects worthy of that pick IMO - Isiah Wynn and Frank Ragnow. Both bigger, stronger, more versatile, better players, more athletic and much more dominant on tape. Both could potentially step in at tackle for a while if need be.

Like both those guys. Ragnows being linked to cincy so there’s a chance he’s gone by the time we pick. Like Wynn too, just not sure the pats do. Like the beilema ties to Ragnow we have the ferentz ties to Daniels. And his athleticism fits with what we ask our lineman to do.

I know in prior years we've had issues with posters spoiling picks before they were announced on television. This has been frustrating for a lot of people.

Any recommendations, not sure how to prevent this other than banning( maybe two threads, one spoiler, one non spoiler, not sure lol)

This hasn't been an issue for me since I don't watch the draft. I'll get my info here.

The only thing that would change that is if I thought there was a player who'd refused to take a phony baloney hug from Fraudger. They really can't do that though.

Lamar Jackson talks like a guy who failed the wonderlic

I f___ing hate that man.

That's how the 32 want it.

Suzy Kolber was really grilling at Josh Allen. Kept asking him the same question over and over about things he Tweeted when he was 15.

Could the Giants shock everyone and take Barkley. That would create chaos but likely darnold.

 

[1960Pats]

I probably won't even turn it on until around 10, and only then if all the movies available either suck or I've seen before. I have no interest in watching OTHER teams get better. I only care about the players MY team is adding and THAT isn't going to start to happen until after 10.

BTW- I just noticed that Fraudell is going to use "boo screens" a lot tonight in Dallas. Reported he's going to have former popular Cowboys like Staubach and Romo plus current Cowboys like Witten be on stage with him when he calls out the picks. What a low life

The only problem with your viewing strategy would be if the Pats traded up.

As for Fraudell's boo screen strategy, I'd be willing to bet that it doesn't work.

I still have no idea why anyone would have a Facebook or Twitter account. Everyday it comes back to bite someone in the ass. Everyday, someone’s life is ruined by it. Why in God’s green earth would you expose yourself to that???

I was asked to speak. To students recently and when asked what advice I would give them, I immediately told them to delete all their social media accounts.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

9great quote by Barkley on the red carpet, apparently he had a daughter recently and he said and I’m paraphrasing here because I can’t remember the exact quote but he said that he was looking forward setting the standard that she will judge ever other man she ever meets by.

That is a mature thought from a young father.

4 channels showing this at 8, any wisdom over the best watch?

IMO that really wouldn’t qualify as “shocking.”

 

[raduray]

The only thing I can be fairly sure of is that Bill will leave most of us scratching our heads before the weekend is done. Meanwhile, I'll be watching the Celtics and following the draft online.

 

[Kontradiction]

This wins.

I’m telling you, Kirwin says he just doesn’t give a ****. He makes $44M a year. Hell, I wouldn’t care either.

Any one not associated with ESPN.

These kids’ live revolve around social media. Remember when they used to say cell phones could cause brain cancer? If that were true average life expectancy would be in the 20s in a few years.

Isn’t Barkley the favorite at 2? That’s what the ESPN reporter at the giants war room is speculating. Jets will have their choice of darnold and Rosen.
