Waiting to see who the 49ers pick up - whoever it is, the 49ers gave up DeForest Buckner to get him, so expectations will be high. I’m hoping for one of the blue-chip WRs.
Being a Raider fan, I’d like to see them pick up the WR from Oklahoma and the best CB available. Or if they get good value trading down from #19, then just the top-tier WR and again a CB and other defensive help on the interior line.
Linky no worky.
Did my Jets make their first terrible choice yet??
I don’t follow drafts closely.
It doesn’t matter when you’re a Jet fan.
I heard a few weeks ago that the league and teams were going to do a test run - but I haven't heard how that went, or even confirmation that it actually happened.
with reports the front office is divided
Please, show me those reports.
Anyone have a link to watch the draft online? Or at least watch the virtual version of it.
Tagovailoa is said to be dropping. He might last till the middle of the first round. People are worried about whether he’s physically sound.

no one is moving up for Tua- no one...
Expect the Lions to draft a QB!:
Greg Landry
Chuck “Oh my god, a pass rush!” Long
Andre Ware
Joey “Joey?” Harrington
Last I heard, Detroit was desperately trying to trade down from three, and had no takers.
Burrow is going Number 1 to the Bengals. He could be a generational QB. And then again the Bengals may find a way to screw him up. After that who knows what is going to happen.
The draft is kind of sad. If you look at the first round draft from 10 years ago you had new fresh faces, exciting stories, and fame but how many of these players are out of the league, bankrupt, and/or with a physical condition that they will have to live with the rest of their lives. It is like a conveyor belt where they start with high hopes and dreams but not many have successful outcomes 10 years later. It just rolls forward every year with a new crop of young, naïve faces.
Many of the college players have dreams of making it to the NFL but few do. A few years ago I met a 50 year old executive who had just had a knee replacement. I asked why he needed one and he said a high school football injury. He confessed he wished he had never played football.
Another guy I met was in his late 30’s. He played football for a small prestigious college school but was hobbling really bad with problems in both knees. I asked him if it was worth it and he said yes because it helped him get into law school and obtain a really good job. I can’t imagine what his physical condition will be at age 50.
I get the entertainment value and excitement out of the draft but sometimes I wonder if it is like watching people sign up to participate in battles at the Collusium or people signing up to have tattoos on television.
Is it better not to watch?
What time does the draft start?

I’m hoping my Nittany Lions do well! especially KJ Hamler and John Reid
I am probably in the minority, but the NFL is dead to me.
NFL PING!!
