2018 NFL Draft: Open Thread

Happy Mel Kiper day, Gheorghies!  It our annual reminder of how bad the Cleveland Browns organization is and an excuse to post this video:

  1. I feel strongly that the Jets will take Baker Mayfield at 3 b/c owner Woody Johnson still likes sizzle on the roster, and b/c the GM is hanging on to his job by a string. I feel even stronger that the pick will not work out.

    Mayfield got busted running drunk from a cop last off-season. He still acted like a jackass this season. He is a jackass. NY will not be good for him.

    I also think the Giants trade down from 2, which means the first 3 picks are all QBs.

  2. Twitter is abuzz this morning claiming the Cleveland is going to take Mayfield first overall.

  5. to TR's point, no matter who the Jets take tonight they will be an industrial dumspter fire within two seasons

    for all we know, Lamar Jackson will be Browning Nagle 2.0 if drafted by the Jetropolitans

  6. I was going to do a draft post but I'm too stupid and lazy to do a good job. That said, I think Saquon Barkley at #2 is a bad idea for the Jints, given Eli's old age and their lack of a line, as well as the history of Penn State running backs drafted over the past 30 years:

    If you're too lazy to click on the link, the punchline is this: 19 RBs drafted out of Penn State over 30 years (including Curtis Enis, Ki-Jana Carter, and Blair Thomas), and their total combined career rushing yardage is 13,951. Frank Gore has more than that all by himself.

    I would be happy if the Bills wind up with Baker Mayfield or really any legitimate QB prospect that doesn't cause Teedge to make the BiLOLs call.

  7. And the Giants's first round RB picks over the last 30 years: Ron Dayne, Tyrone Wheatley, Rodney Hampton, Jarrod Bunch, David Wilson. So they don't exactly have a track record of killing it with first round RBs either.

  8. Why does the first team get more than two minutes to pick? They've had months to think about this.

  9. Holy shit the Jets are gonna get Darnold

    ReplyDelete
  10. I love Barkley. Wish he wasn’t behind that shit line for the Giants.

    Darnold is screwed.

  11. Sal Palantonio got dressed in the dark.

  12. I really, really wanted Chubb or Nelson for Tampa. Feels like they’ll be one pick too late.

  13. Dammit. Trade back if possible.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Two second round picks? Why thank you, Buffalo.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Trading up for Josh Allen? Very Billsy.

  16. did you guys hear about this?

    lots of interesting info in here.
    this may be the most interesting nugget:

    "Although the scrotum was transplanted, the donor’s testes had been removed for ethical reasons: Keeping them might enable the recipient to father children that belonged genetically to the organ donor, something not considered acceptable by medical guidelines."

  17. Josh Allen is the guy with the racist tweets, right?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Bills don’t give a fuck either. Making moves.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Tremaine Edmunsds’ Windsor tie inspiration is clearly Merrill Hoge, who is currently living in a cave w/ Ron Jaworski.

  20. Suzy Kolber looks pretty good tonight. She’s 53.

  21. Nobody wants a Game 7 in this Celts-Bucks series. Boston needs to put this away so they can go on and get crushed by Philly.

  22. Taking a RB with the second pick is so 1985.

    ReplyDelete
  23. The Bills turned the #21, 22, 53 and 56 picks into an inaccurate late-bloomer QB and a 19-year-old skinny LB. Should I be happy about this? It seems so Billsy.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I forgot to include the #65 pick in that list. Five picks that could've yielded starters.

    ReplyDelete
  25. The second pick in the 1985 NFL draft was Bill Fralic, a Guard. Great call, Marls.

    Fralic’s greatest moment ever (according to me) was being a jobber in the Wrestlemania 2 battle royale.

  26. There’s a town in Illinois called Dongola. That is pretty cool.

    ReplyDelete
  27. You know the Pats will get Lamar Jackson and he'll be good.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I was thinking more in spirit than in fact, TR.

    How did you find the Dongola tidbit?
