****The 2018 NFL Draft Thread**** (No Spoilers)
Let's ****ing do this.
Last year was a one-of-a-kind, so let's hope the luck carries over to this year, with Brett Veach at the helm for the first time. Rules: 1. No spoiled picks in this thread, all weekend. This means that as tweets are leaking picks a few minutes before the selection is announced live, you don't post it in this thread (ex: embedded tweets), reference it in this thread (ex: Joe Slapdick says it's McCaffrey to Tampa) or hint at it (ex: "it's a RB!"). Don't be a dick. Otherwise, have fun, talk shit, freak out and lose your goddamned minds. It's Draft Weekend. The hot takes in these threads are so funny. I'll also be starting threads for each of our picks as they are made, with videos and notable stats/takes in the OP. Pure knee jerk gold to reference in the future. *Note: For 2017 hilariousness, view that thread here. |

I do have one hot take that I formulated about the draft, after lurking for the past couple of weeks.
I keep seeing people talking about blocking TE's. I even saw someone comment that all these TE's the Chiefs are signing "don't look like what the Chiefs want at TE". When a team already has a couple of WR/TE tweeners and they sign 2 or 3 more, it's pretty obvious that they're not looking for what we thought they were. LOL |

Maybe im homering it up, but the man was the entire Aztecs offense. He has size, speed, balance and production.

Witten retiring. I guess that we should expect Dallas to grab a TE today.

Not completely, but scaled back considerably on how much I pay attention. It's a bitter-sweet pill sometimes. I missed the playoff win against Houston and since I haven't watched the draft in 2 or 3 years, I missed the Mahomes pick.
The upside is that I actually enjoyed watching football on the occasions I did. I learned to not only tolerate, but appreciate, Alex Smith for what he was and when they collapsed against the Titans, it didn't really bother me. It was just another football game. Overall the benefits of being a casual fan far outweigh the disadvantages. I'll never be a "hardcore" fan again. |

Not only do I question drafting a running back, there is the question if Rashaad Penny is going to be any better than the names listed above and I'm not sure he is. Hard to predict if or how far they could have traded down but I think it's just bad value to take Penny in the 1st. It's no secret Seattle has done a terrible job drafting the past couple of seasons- I think they missed again. |

No way Penny was worth taking over Guice
Also ![]() Rumor is Reggie wanted Derwin James and Gruden+Cable wanted Kolton Miller and Gruden can overrule McKenzie. Makes it even funnier. |

Early impressions are that Gruden should have been put in the Andy Reid mold of just coaching and let the GM to his job.
Moving a 3 for Bryant? Lol Passing on amazing defensive talent for a reach OL? Lol Lowballing Khalil Mack? Laughable |
