LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Still not used to the whole draft starting on a Thursday thing for one round. Downtime between picks just gets excruciating at times.

23 is hardly old though. For a second I thought he was 25-26

Filming for the Browns draft movie is gonna be going on at the tilted kilt tonight, some of my friends are going to the stadium for draft partying/tailgating
What you want? Unless you really want Luke and they take Fisher or something else.

Resident Duck fan on Jordan:
He's a matchup nightmare on the line and one of the more versatile players I've seen. His hybrid-ability makes him tantalizing but he's also raw. Would say his motor never struck me as impressive and he seemed to blend in fairly often (lack of big plays).
Silver lining with the injuries thing is that when he was hurt our defense always seemed to take a huge hit. Part of his strength is the oddity of his physical gifts and that seemed to fuck with opposing offenses every single game. He's the type of guy you just have to try to plan for and his adaptability seemed to win out most of the time.
Either way, he's a boom/bust pick. #4 seems high but he's a definitive risk/reward pick.
Other thought is that out of the Oregon defensive players in this year's draft; Kiko Alonso, Michael Clay, and John Boyett were all more consistent than Jordan. Boyett was out of all last year but he was John Lynch-ish while healthy. Kid is tough and normally real durable. Not sure about his size. Alonso, if he can keep his head on straight, will be starting somewhere shortly.

He's too old for the Steelers. All that matters.
And miss the Browns fans meltdowns?
This is what keeps my teeth white

I have more of a problem with the Chiefs' methodology than Fisher or Joeckel.
I understand the Chiefs have seemingly moved on from Albert, and that as of now, the general consensus is that Fisher and Joeckel are two of of the top talents in the draft. But I'd rather ride out the year with Donald Stephenson at LT and draft someone like Milliner/Lotoulelei/Richardson/Jordan than make the lateral move of replacing a tackle with a tackle.
A mix of group-think and buzz glorifying a guy's stock. Austin is pretty solid though I'm not sold on his '4.3' speed.

A tackle from Central Michigan going first is going to feel really weird.
I mean, if he's really good it doesn't matter, but it still comes off as the opposite of flashy which seems pretty different from other #1 overall picks.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
Not sure their games are that comparable

Pretty much. But Al Davis isn't around anymore. That 4.3 don't mean jack if you can't catch.

Nah, but really, why Te'o?
40 times aren't everything plus with the Bears losing notorious killjoy Lovie Smith we are guaranteed to get Hard Knocks. Think about- Cutler, Marshall, Te'o, Hester, new coach. Riveting stuff there.

I think the Pats draft a player tonight instead of trading.

Now I've seen everything. Craziest draft ever right here, folks. The Pats NOT trading down and actually grabbing someone in the 1st.
You will still be the AFC North overlords this year but they will draft a surprise in the first.

Definitely a weird situation. Cut Winston, franchise Albert then try to trade him and draft a replacement. Trade 2nd rounder for Smith and make him your starter. Andy Reid for you. I really don't think you guys improve much this year.

Word.
The bold made me lol. I don't know, though, Trestman doesn't seem like the kind of guy to bring in that kind of distraction when he's trying to focus on acclimating a new team to his principles and schemes.
That said, I've been dying for a Chicago Bears Hard Knocks since the show began.

They traded up last year and took 2 guys in the 1st.
This sounds like a great idea.
Last years draft was pretty crazy as a Pats fan.
If you take the biggest difference in the consideration, absolutely alike. Geno played in a spread offense in college. Spread offenses don't exist in the NFL. He will be made into a pocket QB, boxed in and molded just like Aaron Brooks played with the Saints.
Average Arm - Check
Needs work on the Deep Route - Check
Ability to run outside the pocket - Check
"Geno Smith is a cross between Akili Smith and Aaron Brooks" -PFW
It's like Aaron Brooks reincarnated.

Texans rumored to like Barkley in the first.
We're got like 80% starters over 30.. 23 is youth to us now

They need to make an exception and give you a buttfumble gif for an avatar.
We can all double down and take an additional shot whenever Chucky says he loves that guy. The only problem I foresee with this, is that the Gator is the size of a small hobbit, so shots might take him awhile to drink.
