Other losers in this draft are HOU, IND and JAX. If TEN drafts decent, this is a total franchise changer. When DAL made the Walker trade, the first draft afterwards, Jimmy took Aikman, Wiesnewski, Moose, Stepnoski, and Tony Tolbert

Aikman was 89. Hershel Walker was traded for picks in the 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993 drafts.

But still, Tennessee set themselves up nice.

The mock should be about uninhibited disrespect.

NFL Off-Season Thread: "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?"

I remember 2012 like it was four years ago.
Tampa Bay (4-12) - I H8 Memes - RB - Trent Richardson - I love everybody criticizing the choice without saying who they'd pick. Reiff, overrated and not what we need on the right side. Blackmon, we are stacked at WR. LB's, C, and secondary, not worth anything higher than a 15. As I said, Bucs need Claiborne. If the real draft goes this way the Bucs are fucked and need to trade back to #13 or later where the players at positions we actually have a need at are slotted.
Almost nailed it. Thank god for the Cleveland Browns. We missed Trent Richardson and picked up Doug Martin.

Thank you, Browns. Thank you!

Chuck, this draft just lacks star power. I've read several places that 15-100 is the same guy. DJ has talked about how two good organizations could have the same guy 40 picks apart on their boards.

Yeah got my years wrong. Makes the 89 draft even more amazing since he used mostly the team's own picks

e: Bradford isn't getting traded so there's no schism. Seems like everyone is fine if a QB falls to them, and no one was comfortable paying what it took for LAR to move up

Got a peak at part of the Texans schedule today. We've got some JUICY prime time games this year. This is gonna be good.
12:22 PM - 14 Apr 2016

Blech. Texans suck in primetime.

And to make it easy on the snarky here: To be fair the Texans always suck

I am waiting to post the Rams Official pick until I hear more regarding ownership making the decision. It's not confirmed yet, Fisher seems to be taking the credit so far.

Scratch that, make that 4 prime time games for the Texans. I forgot that Christmas Eve kind of shuffled everything around.

4? really? Know one is the MNF game vs. Raiders in Mexico City

2nd one is probably the now annual TNF "lose to the Colts in some stupid fashion" game
 
adam schefter: The Los Angeles Rams are leaning toward making Cal quarterback Jared Goff the top overall pick after acquiring the selection Thursday from the Tennessee Titans, but a team source added that the team would also consider Carson Wentz before they have to make the pick on April 28.
You'd think who they want would be set in stone?

That's said every year. For the most part, it's true. The fun part of draft time is differentiating those guys and why. And by 'star power' you mean offensive skill position guys.

More towards your point,

Hey bionic, here's a pretty cool ESPN story about Kobe's last game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=874aHNuYKxU
That kid had more success in one clip than the Vikings have had in over 50 years of professional football.

What can I say. You brought it on yourselves. The next time the Vikings miss a chip shot FG to win a playoff game don't blame the kicker. Blame yourself. If you were better fans you would have won something by now.

If Fisher is going to be pressed into playing the guy right away, and he will, he has to pick Goff. I understand his position completely.

College systems don't translate as well to the pros. Hell I don't think any system before the NFL is conducive to developing a pro QB.

I'm pretty sure it all comes down to how the NFL has freak atheletes on defense and other levels just don't have to worry about that.

Going forward, it'll get worse with the CTE stuff. Expect to see some awesome pitchers and more atheletes in MLB in about 20 years though.
Why don't we see more teams coddle their qb's like the Cheat and Chip Kelly did?

Everyone seems to want their qb's play like Big Ben and Aaron. I guess that is much easier to coach and implement. But if I wanted to win I think I would focus on defense and put together a dink and dunk offense. Oh yeah and have the greatest punter in the world.

That seems like it is a winning formula even today.

I know you don't mean that. That's just the pain talking.
 
You can be my bodyguard as I walk around tourist attractions. Your ass is a big enough shield.

My team has not won a Super Bowl in almost 10 years.

Of course I am in pain. You wouldn't be able to understand the pain me and BG have to endure right now.

Man was not meant to suffer like Steelers fans have.
