The NFL Thread

Surprising that the Raiders didn’t even take a flyer on a Day 3 QB.

I always get a kick (no pun intended) out of teams drafting kickers so weirdly excited to see the Vikings take the first Kicker off the board.

One of the biggest questions coming out of that draft is how many of the 6 QBs taken in the first 12 picks start in Week 1. Williams, Daniels and Nix are all likely to start (the first 2 definitely). Penix almost certainly won’t. My prediction is that Maye doesn’t, and it’s 50/50 whether McCarthy starts right away for the Vikings.

Happy with the Vikings haul overall, albeit surprised we didn’t take a DT until our final pick. Interestingly while 7th Round pick Michael Jurgens (G/C) seems to have tumbled down draft boards through the spring, he was ranked 71st overall by PFF as recently as February. Could be a steal.

There's a massive drop off from the first 6 to Rattler and no point in wasting a pick if he's only going to be squad filler hence why we made the move for Minshew.

Glad we stuck to our guns and pleased with how the draft panned out but then to be honest, I think most if not all franchises end up thinking their haul is decent, no?

Proof will be in the pudding come Week 1

Someone else i know commented that the Steelers and Ravens are the two teams he hates seeing on draft days because you are always left asking "how in the fuck did that guy fall to them?"

Two years later I'm still asking how they got Kyle Hamilton at 14 after everyone talked about him being perhaps the best player in the draft.
