2020 NFL Draft - 4/23 - 4/25/20

[RIPPA]

Yeah - we are officially in Everyone is a liar mode as there are multiple people pushing the narrative that the Giants are gonna draft Justin Herbert since God please someone trade with them

[hammerva]

Watching the 2014 draft on ESPN seeing everyone getting pumped for Johnny Manziel is just hilarious given how shitty he was

[Dolfan in NYC]

 

FWIW, my guess is this was Grier doing due diligence and telling the owner that no, we're not getting Joe Burrow and shut up already about it. 

[RIPPA]

We have also officially hit wacky mock drafts so someone can claim that IF their wacky prediction hits, they called it

Most recent was USA Today - which has Chase Young dropping to the Giants at #4 with only Burrow being the only QB taken before Miami picks at #5

I mean the Redskins are stupid but not THAT stupid

[hammerva]

Now they are showing the 2005 NFL Draft.  So if you want to watch Aaron Rodgers squirm for about 3 hours enjoy.    Hopefully they show the one featuring goofy Brady Quinn and hot girlfriend stuck in the green room

Oh man I forgot 2005 was the draft where the Lions drafted a wide receiver in the 1st round for the 3rd year in a row

Well this headline made my day

"Jerry Jones will draft at home alone, with no one to stop him"

Imagine Jerry Jones dealing with technical issues with his wifi or Zoom at home

So PFT's reporting that Miami is trying to get the #3 pick from Detroit...so that they can then package the #3 and #5 picks to try to get the #1 pick...

I love that it is just "league source"

Aka PLEASE WATCH! ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!!!

[Death From Above]

There is no chance we don't watch anyway, we're all fucking dying for content. I just want to be angry about sports again.

I was so convinced that Aaron Rodgers was "just another Jeff Tedford bust" and that the biggest question about Alex Smith was "how many MVPs will he win?"

[RIPPA]

Todd McShay just posted on Twitter that he will not be working tonight's broadcast as he is recovering from the coronavirus

[Dolfan in NYC]

They're going through a bunch of old horrible takes.  The Russell Wilson takes in particular are quite spicy.

[Lawful Metal]

Texans fans: We don't have a first round pick.  there's no way Bill O'Brien could fuck this up tonight

[Death From Above]

The "Mahomes is such a project that he might never see the field in the NFL" take is an all-time howler.

So he’s willing to give Deshaun away now?  The Chargers would be smart to trade their pick for him. He’s definitely a safer investment than the injury prone Tua.

[Chaos]

I've been a Dolphins fan for at least 25 years, and I will never trust them to draft well. I have such an uneasy feeling in my stomach about tonight.

[dogwelder]

As the draft gets closer I'm worried the Skins will do something stupid like pick Jordan Love at #2.

[hammerva]

I have to say I have an east coast bias in my college football watching but Herbert doesn't seem like a top 5 pick.  Although I guess given the injury issue maybe Tua isn't either

Oh great because I wasn't sick of that song during Wrestlemania this year

[RIPPA]

Well that settled that

[Ryan]

I've been hearing rumblings from my sources, my gut, that the Giants are going to trade out of the first round for a pair of 7th rounders and a giant vat of "magic water" they found in Tom Brady an anonymous team's player's hotel room.
