<font color=goldenrod>I'm actually pretty stoked for the draft. Free agency has its moments and all but this basically the last football-related thing of importance until September.</font>

NFL doesn't matter in April, hate how they're continually trying to make a bigger and bigger spectacle out of draft day(s)

I can't wait for the Giants to take a DE

<font color=goldenrod>I'd be fine with a DE. They pretty much can't franchise tag JPP again so if they don't agree on a long-term deal with him next year they'd need a replacement.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Would be really surprised if the Giants don't go with a lineman of some kind first, actually. OL, DT, or DE. Brandon Schreff, Danny Shelton, or Randy Gregory probably their top targets at each spot.

I'd be happy with any. At the end of the day football is still won and lost in the trenches.</font>

NFL was in a bit of a punishing mood today. Jets fined $100k for the Revis tampering case while Dolphins Dion Jordan suspended for all of next season for another drug violation.

No :D smiley at the beginning of that post ?

No draft picks? That's crap. They gave draft picks in the last tampering and the guy didn't even end up with the team involved.

Its bullshit he was even punished. What is the guy suppose to say? Hell no Revis sucks.

"I can't answer that question."

Really? We are going to start making people be afraid to make general statements. Everyone knows anybody with half a brain wants Revis on their team. It is not like he said they were going to pursue Revis or Revis could make the Jets playoff contenders. He just said of course he would like Revis back because EVERYONE in the damn league would like Revis on their team.

DRAFT DAY!

Anybody think Tennessee is gonna trade away the 2nd pick?

<font color=goldenrod>I had read 8 PM Eastern aka 3 hours 40 minutes from now</font>

Only if they can get a king's ransom for it. Bucs already said they want another 1st Round pick for this year but the best they are offering at the moment is their 2nd round pick (#2 in that round).

if Tennessee fucks this up I will likely kill myself.

I don't think the Eagles will end up with Mariotta.

Colts will probably trade out.

So, this gonna be the draft thread? Or somewhere in casual?

<font color=goldenrod>Lots of boos for Goodell. Well deserved.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>NFL Network and ESPN have both pledged to not spoil any picks by showing players on the phone, etc.

And within 2 seconds they show Winston at his party, on the phone, high fiving everyone. :lol: though I guess he was the obvious first pick anyway so it didn't really apply to him.</font>

Never understood how/why the first pick takes even a second to come in.

Which is the better channel to watch. ESPN or NFL Network?

<font color=goldenrod>NFL Network probably. Eisen > Berman. Mayock is kind of a knob at times though.

I'll probably flip back and forth since they won't spoil picks.</font>

Nfl netork, I can't look at Kipers hair

<font color=goldenrod>Also stay off Twitter if you don't want spoilers. The beat reporters tweet a sit goes along.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>As expected the first pick is future felon Jameis Winston</font>

Winston is going to be a bust

And now all eyes are on the Titans.

<font color=goldenrod>Thinking about it, when was the last time there was a genuine surprise 1st pick? Even if there are multiple guys that are worthy of the top pick with beat reporters and the like it's pretty much set in stone a few days before the draft, if not earlier. Not sure there can be a surprise top pick anymore short of a trade going down right before the draft.</font>

I wish there was a way the Ravens could get Gurley or Gordon but not happening at 26

Does it also apply to their Twitter accounts?

Last 2-3 years they've spoiled picks there before they were shown on tv.

Marioto

Hope you like country music, Marcus.

<font color=goldenrod>Eagles supposedly offered 2 1sts, a 3rd, Fletcher Cox, and a few other players to move up and the Titans still said no. Mariota is their guy.</font>

Jacksonville not fucking around but I guess we have to wait because of commercials

nfl.com's stream awful

hope Lions pick a good player

Streak probably getting broken next season since I doubt the Bucs are going to suddenly get that good. Although haven't bothered to see what their schedule is if 9+ wins is even possible on paper.
