The NFL Draft is tonight from Chicago. I will miss the J-E-T-S fans booing the draft pick. To get it started according Bucs drafting Jameis Winston at #1 is a done deal:

Mariota seems to have what it takes. The problem for him is he’s the subject of a bidding war, the team that gets him looks like they’ll give up at least 5 picks to get him, and no players is worth 5 draft picks. That’s 4 picks that could have given him an offensive line, a good receiver, improved defense. Smart teams trade down in the draft and stock up picks (this is the first time in years the Pats come in with less than 10 picks... they have 9), dumb teams trade up in the draft and give away picks. Mariota is going to be drafted by a dumb team.

The Browns somehow have stacked up 10 picks (not sure where 2 of them came from), if they’re smart and USE them they could do good things. Of course it’s reported they offered both first rounders to get to #2, which means they aren’t being smart.

Yeah, that never gets old. Although I'm sure they could do one about the Cleveland Browns now that would be almost as entertaining.

We’ll see what happens with the 18th pick. The law of averages say that the Chiefs have to hit the jackpot sometime. What scares me is that some of the mock drafts have them selecting Dorial Green-Beckham. I know the Chiefs need a wideout but not someone who got kicked off the Mizzou team because of his criminal...hobbies. I’d rather they went with Tyler Lockett from K-State.

I would much rather the Browns get a run stopper like Shelton at #12, then the best available player at #19. Don't overreach for a wideout like Strong or Perriman. The Browns have so many holes to fill, they should be drafting best available, not drafting for need.

I think owner Jimmy Haslam had a lot to do with drafting Johnny Football last year, more than he or anyone else are willing to admit.

I agree with you about stocking up picks. To think the Browns gave up a third round pick last year to go up a few slots in the first round and get Manziel makes me sick. Really dumb.

Rumor has it that the Titans are looking well to the future, and will trade picks with whoever is getting Peyton Manning's son.

I am just not sold on Winston, but I’ve been wrong before. I like what Lovie Smith does as a coach. I wonder what input he had on this choice?

I like to give a big Chi-town salute (that’s 2 middle fingers raised, hands rotated forward in a circular motion) to Jameis, Marcus, Amari, and every draftee dissing us by not attending, as they would have if it was held in precious NYC.

Attendance for these instant millionaires should be mandatory, baring a family emergency.

Gadzooks, Imp-- Just because you are stuck with a forever festering Cut-- ler, doesn't mean... you should cast ill will towards other teams drafting quarterbacks that might actually play well with others.

Cut Impy some slack, Bendy. His Bears will come out of their hibernation... just as soon as the Cubs win a World Series--

Or the Browns win a Superbowl... with Johnny Football.

Damn, Bend-- Why'd ya... have to drag me into this?

Well, since I sprang for this full orange paint job... I expect some rights!

I'm just please as punch that they kept Jerry sedated... until my Boys got Byron Jones!!!

Now, how can they get Tevin Coleman at 60... before Jerry goes on a trading fit?

Well, my Cut-ler is oozing pus.

And the painkillers ain't helping.

But my ire is directed at these players skipping the draft, for skipping the draft.

I mean, they'll go to NYC...

But they snub Chi-town?

Are they saying NY is better or somethin?

"Well, we are better, Impy darling."

Well, F you, Judy! /a

Well, Imp, Dick Butkus liked Da Bears 2nd round pick: Eddie Goldman, DT, Florida State: 6-foot-3 7/8, 336 pounds, 5.27 40

Sounds like he’s a nose tackle for the new 3-4 D. Yes, Da Bears will become the last team to finally try the 3-4.

A replacement for Brandon Marshall was a secondary need compared to the putrid defense, but Kevin White (WR West Virginia) was the value pick in the first round. They probably would have taken Leonard Williams (DE USC) but the Jets nabbed him one spot sooner.

RE: No-shows at the NFL Draft: Whores.

On the bright side, Chi-town’s got this locked down for the next 3 years:
