The draft has begun. Anyone watching?
Woah Penix at 8?
reply
Very strange, especially since they just signed Cousins. That’s a lot of draft capital for a guy who will be sitting on the bench for the next four years.
;)

Raiders pick is going to be interesting.
reply
Fingers crossed for Fuaga
reply
Hopefully they don't take Brock Bowers. Haha

Ooops cursed you.

You bastard!
What the hell? We took the top TE prospect last year too. That’s not something we needed at all.
reply
You guys are rolling with AOC and running the ball and playing 2 tight end sets every down.
I like Bowers. I just think it's silly to take a TE this early. They pretty much have to be a top 5 TE in the league right away for it to be worthwhile.
He was the best player available. Good pick. You will like him
Bastard cursed you

Cousins contract is two years guaranteed
reply
Bad pick especially at 8
reply
Black left handed QB named Michael
reply
Kirk's contract has 2 years guaranteed money on it. It implies he's starting for at least those 2 years.
Penix is 24, means he'll be 26 before he gets a real starting opportunity (assumption is that ATL plays Kirk like the money suggests).
I kinda wanted penix, but I think overall ATL isn't a bad landing spot for him.
reply
I don't hate Pearsall but I don't like him when Johnny Newton, JPJ and Kool Aid are still on the board.
reply
Surprisingly happy with the Jets here -- they got a solid OL and good mid-round picks by trading down.
reply
I wish the Raiders GM had thought of that.
reply
I like how this is potentially shaping up for the 49ers actually being able to get OL at 31 and if they are all gone there should be a solid DL or CB.
reply
Yes solid trade and pick.
reply
@Undisciplined overall the Raiders draft was solid. Totally telegraphed the style they're going to. Oline Oline Oline, run the ball, smash mouth football. Laube is a great pick up.
I wonder if you've got your eyes set on one of the QBs next year, shadeur sanders for example? Although you could have had rattler at 148 before the saints got him at 150.
reply
I was really happy with the day 3 picks and JPJ is a born Raider.
Even if I never think they made the right 1st round pick, I am excited to see what Bowers can do. It will be hard not to compare it to what might have been, though: JPJ and Fuaga on the right side of the line.
How do you feel about Days 2 and 3 for the Vikings?
reply
I think they're setting the stage. Buying the land first a building the foundations before putting the house on it. Went heavy on the oline investment. I think raiders have signalled. We're building and coming for our QB next off-season. Then they coming for the league. That defense an oline giving time, ooooffff you might just have yourselves a stew going.
I think our day 3 was alright, I'm stoked about khyree Jackson, he's a helluva CB. Then came after a backup tackle and a center, that's cool. The kicker pick was a bit of a head scratcher. Kickers are a dime a dozen down the seven eleven, but this kid is record holding, so sure, let's see what's up, it was only a 6th anyway.
I'd have liked to have addressed DT sooner than the 7th, but here we are and I think Rodriguez can be a great rotational piece with lots of development.
reply
At least you have a good track record drafting kickers: we're enjoying Daniel Carlson tremendously. Thanks for giving up on him way too early.
Is J.J. going to be the day 1 starter at QB?
reply
You must be watching, right? Did you get all your snacks ready? Is your party as big as the superbowl? Maybe I should turn on the radio and see what they say lol
reply
Damn Arnold at 24 is a steal. @tnuts420 must be pleased.
reply
most definitely! but i already learned my lesson second guessing brad holmes, the man knows what he's doing
reply
NFC North is going to be wild in the years to come. Detroit really showed out. That was impressive.
reply
I'm here, listening to a Raiders live stream and watching the show.
reply
When do you think the first trade will be?
reply
Next couple are pretty likely spots
reply
I think we will see a trade in top 10.
reply
Alt is my first miss
reply
I had Maye going 2 and Daniels 3. I didn't think Peters would go for a running QB but I guess Daniels was too promising to pass up.
reply
I'm a lot happier with the Chargers taking a left tackle than a great receiver. Maxx and Wilkins usually line up on the right, so Herbert's still going to be in trouble..
reply
Wow I had Latham at 20
Harbaugh wants to run the ball first. Alt made a lot of sense but they definitely need a WR.
Slater or Alt will move right
I’m actually happy with this pick.
We still need receivers who can separate
reply
COWBOYS!
reply
Didn't know you were a Cowboys fan. And here I thought I liked you. Haha jk.
reply
Third gen. My daddy and granddaddy were from Dallas.
I'm used to haters. LOL
and losing in the playoffs!
reply
Cowboys have a national fan base
America team in the 1970s
reply
I just assumed he was a Titans guy.
reply
No! Do like the Preds and Nashville SC, though and can't wait until we get a baseball team.
reply
Me too.

Tennessee transplant

reply
Awesome pick. Damn the CBs are flying off the board.
reply
And almost a dozen WRs already
reply
I don’t think they wanted to go CB here. I think they had to because so many went off the board.
reply
I was just about to ask. It looks like you could have gotten a tackle, if you had kept the pick.
reply
What do you think of Raiders 3rd rounder?
reply
Not sure yet. We’re having a hell of a time trying to get our kid to go to sleep tonight.
It looks like the right kind of player, but I need to look into it more.
reply
Kingsley is enticing but I think he was too much of a project for them. If Rosengarten was available they might not have traded back but Ravens took him.
reply
Looks like you got someone for the O-Line.
reply
Of course the 49ers traded two 5th round picks to get an additional 4th round pick and pick a running back they don't need. And then take another slot receiver later in the round. Kyle is going to Kyle.
49ers going after guys who are versatile, have a ton of college games under their belt and stayed healthy. They have a type. Haha
Steelers got Frazier. I was hoping he might fall to 63 but 49ers probably wouldn’t take a C anyways.
reply
Michael Penix or Vick
reply
Byron Murphy to the Seagulls. Don't like that.
reply
That was wild!
Little pricey coming up to 17 trading with the jags but Dallas turner is a great pick.
