T Minus 2 hours and thirteen minutes! Glad it's finally here.

Even without a pick I wonder how much air time our trade for DW will garner.

I may follow the first couple picks or so, but that'll be it.

And yeah, I never even gave it thought about DW possibly being discussed ad nauseum.

I wonder what the shocker will be?

Seems like every year something goes down that is unexpected.

A trade? A strange pick?

Guys who fall. Someone taken way early.

What qb's are taken and when?

I'll watch the whole thing although it will be on my phone for some of it... You never know what trade could happen or how players/teams that are in our division might be impacted.

I'd expect Russell Wilson and DW to get air time because in effect they are the first round selections for the teams that acquired them. It should be 100% football talk though.

And yes - who falls or who gets taken a round earlier than predicted is always interesting.

I think the TV producers, and those who don't follow football with passion but only as an afterthought, are the ones who always want to overhype where the quarterbacks go.
If the Browns don't chose all of their selections, (like recent years) i.e. the 78th pick this year, I hope they aren't going around chasing pots of gold at the ends of rainbows that aren't there, and the end result will be worse.

There is some buzz about the Steelers making a big trade up for Willis. If they do I would guess they jump up to the Giants or Panthers spot.

It never fails to amaze me ... how when one seemingly out of place selection can change the course of the Draft.

So true.

Kinda funny to me to see what some of costumes these guys wear.

Joe Thomas blew it off and went fishing.

My guess for a shocker is that Seattle trades up for Malik Willis.

We need more of "just reading names" JUST READING NAMES, that is it, just the facts.

A lot less of all of the side stories and feel good human interest nonsense.
And I mean that sincerely.

Nothing is more important in the next few days, than the focus on the reading of the names, the reading out and announcing of the names is Paramount!
(human interest stuff hurts to watch!)

Every year Rodger Goodell gets booed when he comes on stage.

Walker goes #1

I'd have taken Hutchinson. Gonna be interesting for years to come with this DE class.

i like this pace of picks coming in

Yeah it's so far much quicker paced vs the norm...which imo they needed to speed it up

Sauce to the Jets

Giants have their choice of OTs'

And they blew it ... they can still get a good one but I'm taking my first pick OT before the DE

3 pretty good oline left and they pick agin at 7. Makes sense to take the DE as they will have at least 2 OT to choose from

That makes sense - but I think Ekwonu and Johnosn/Karalfatis is a better combo than who they picked and Neal/Cross. Kayvon looks small to me.

Carolina doesn't pick a QB ... Baker trade is more so a possibility now.

The Plot thickens

Pretty quiet in here with no first round pick.

I hate to think of the steelers getting MW at pick 20 to replace the rapist

We have a first round pick, DW. Same pick for the next three years.

I hope they take any of these QB's it will ne a wasted pick none of these guys are worth a #1 ... JMO

Bake to Seattle lol

Imo

2013 was the last time no QB went in the top 10.

2 wide receivers gone in the top 10.
And 3 defensive ends.

And NO quarterbacks.

FWIW because I have no idea who this guy is but:

"According to a prediction by NFL Network’s Marc Sessler, the Seahawks are a “lock” to acquire Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick."

Saints just traded up to 11 from 16

DE ?

So who is watching on ESPN and who s watching on NFL Network?

I'm watching Dawgtalkers!

Lions just traded up to 12
Malik Willis?

I was watching NFLN, but now I'm watching ESPN. I like ESPN better.

Welp! looks like the Browns will have all of their eggs in the Anthony Schwartz basket.

This Lions trade smells like QB

The #11 pick is Chris Olave Wr to the Saints traded up from the WFT Washington can't name their team.
That is 3 WRs in the top 11.

Looks like the Lions traded up to pick #12

Jameson Williams
Wow!

4 Wide Receivers in the top 12 picks.
Can you mathmatecians tell me what percentage that is? Hmm. Things that make you say, (oh **** No!)

Matt Millen lives!

And the Eagles trade up now

That's not good. Schwartz is a Arena League caliber a WR.

LOL you know Jameson is not happy.

He also is not a very good hands-catching WR.

also 3 Ohio State WRs were taken back to back to back.

crazy good recruiting

I have been on NFL Network. I like Rich Eisen and Danial Jeremiah.
Switching over to Espn. I also like Kiper and then NFL Network banter has been lackluster.

Is that Greeny I hear on Espn?
I like him too

I'm glad Jordan Davis didn't go to Baltimore.

Eagles took the Ravens choice. Love it!

NO QBs' taken in the first 13 picks.

Eagles jump Rats for DT Davis

At this point who is the Best Player available?

Ravens take Kyle Hamilton AND trade back into the 1st round

Ugh... and Pit probably going to get Willis if they want him!

Ravens traded a pick and a player to get back into 1st rou d

Traded Hollywood Brown. Wow

The Browns originally had pick #13, None of those WR's would have been available to them had they not made the trade for Deshaun Watson,

I just don't know why people are worried about the Squeelers drafting an average at best QB

Would've much preferred to see the Ravens end up with the guy that's going to eat himself out of the NFL and plays limited snaps vs them getting Hamilton.

Hamiltons injury hurt his speed thats why he dropped ...

I'd rather Willis went to Pit than Baker ... but Willis has a high ceiling with a patient well coached team. Pit is patient and well coached.

Correct. Ravens got a steal.

Well coached yes but no QB's picked yet says a lot about the level of these QB's ability ...

I am a big fan of Dotson
If he was a little bigger he might have been the 1st Wr picked.

Jahan Dotson to the for team Washington at #16 overall that is 5 WRs in the top 16 picks were staying at 1/3rd of all players selected were Wr's so by the time the Browns pick at # 44.
14.52 Wrs will be off the board? WOO!!!!! (oh, I mean, NOO!

AJ Brown goes to the Eagles. Wow.

AJ Brown to the Eagles
Teams not wanting to pay Wr's big money are trading them to teams that will pay

Trades everywhere

4 year $100 million
AJ Brown's new contract

Amari Cooper's contract looking better by the day

Mathmatically, WR's are more important than QBs.
32 teams, all teams need 3 special ones on every single offensive snap.
And Burks, the #6 Wr goes at pick #18.

Qbs? Well after the NFL changed the rules to let Qbs not get touched, (unless they play for the browns of course)
Then just about anybody can play Qb, and mathematically there are only 31 starting jobs.

But Wr, there are 96 starting spots for a top 3 WR on every snap?

This = meltdown city.

What a year to waive Rashard Higgins.

Who do the Steelers take?

For anyone who was interested GM told the board why Higgins was let go. Had to do with not being able to beat anything but zone coverage and the NFL realizing.

Wouldn't be surprised to see them take a QB...however Jermaine Johnson is there as well

Steelers take Pickett

Kenny Pickett
My pro comp is Bubby Brister

As a Browns fan, I wish they would have taken Malik Willis.

Pittsburgh taking a BIG risk hope it backfires ... Mark Malone comes to mind

Or Mason Rudolph !

When was the last time the Browns DRAFTED a WR
Who was a game changer ?

They have a type

In retrospect, that 5th round pick for Cooper was a heck of a deal.

Berry seems to be on top of things

that's what she said.

For two seasons Braylon Edwards, Michael Jackson.

Browns legend....Darrin Chiaverini.

No Tight ends were selected in the first 23 picks, but 6 Wrs were selected in the first 18 picks.

Webster Slaughter 1986 2nd Round

The Browns drafted a game changer at Wr when they drafted Kevin Johnson in 1999.

j/c...

Detroit is about to land Willis with the final pick in round 1.

Hope the Ravens don't get Jermaine Johnson

The Browns refused to draft Julio Jones who became a game changer for the Falcons at wide receiver,
but, on that draft day, he just didn't seem to have the value/hype.
And the Browns got a boatload of also ran picks instead.

So many trades and no breakdown of what teams got. Pretty frustrating trying to keep up without the info.

Ravens get Tyler Linderbaum. Best Center in the draft.

Talking heads absolutely loving the Ravens draft so far. Doesn't come as a surprise

I just want to say having no pick, and none for the next 3 round 1s, this really is a Vacuuming feeling.

These Talking Heads Also Tried to Push These Average QB's Up the Draft Board also ...

j/c....

Did the Cardinals even call the Titans?

Love Travis Kelve wearing a burnt orange suit!

The NFL and the West Coast can KpMSA for holding this past 11 pm eastern time!
MEGA

Some of us were working at 2pm when the draft started…
Apologies you were inconvenienced

Good Night Looking Forward to Seeing Our Browns Picks Tomorrow ... GO BROWNS

That was the most exciting draft I have ever witnessed. Tons of trades. Runs on positional players. Confusing choices. Guys falling. Great value picks. Freaking awesome!!!!

it was a crazy draft.

Wow. Unprofessional.

You hit it on the head there.

But also hilarious.

Right? I don't believe I've ever seen anything like that before... not even by analysts making fun of the Browns.

Sean got whupped by Bill in the Super Bowl. He learned from greats like Shannahan and he is pretty innovative, but he isn't all that as a HC. He's good, but not great, in my opinion. He isn't nearly as innovate as Kyle Shannahan and others. He has kept some of the Shannahan/Kubiak schematics and that helps his running game, but his dependence on 11 personnel makes it imperative that he has superior personnel.

Man, the Jets killed it tonight. They got a better receiver in Wilson than London who went at 8. They got a corner and Johnson. That is freaking incredible.

The Giants actually did well w/out the idiot Gettleman.

LMAO at Philly. They got punked so bad. I loved their pre-draft trade w/NO. However, the Jets do the right thing and take Wilson. Then NO moves up and takes Olave. Philly gets nervous because I believe he was their target. They trade up, but Detroit beats them toe punch and takes Williams. Philly ends up taking Jordan Davis who I think has big-time bust potential. They then trade for AJ Brown. They are going to have to pay him top dollar. What a disaster.

Thank God Karafatas or whatever his name is went in the first. I think he is extremely overrated as an NFL prospect. Great college player and a guy who is easy to root for, but he will probably get man-handled in the NFL.

I am very surprised by the Steelers taking Pickett.

Thought they would take Willis.

I could dead wrong but I don't see Pickett as a first round talent. He for sure could prove me wrong.

He had one good year. He had 38 career fumbles at Pitt. He looks no better than ok. Actually I think Trubisky is better.

They could have taken Willis and sat him for a year or two and had way more of a chance of having a dynamic qb.

The Ravens got a damn good player in Hamilton.

The Jets IMO got a lot of talent in the first round.

All in all the draft went well for us. We have plenty of options. Ebiketie, Moore, Mafe, Pickens, Ojabo, Watkins, Raimann, Dean, Logan Hall, Winfrey.

I would love to get Moore and come back and land Winfrey.

A few things:

- Ravens got two good players, thought not at huge areas of need
- Steelers took a bit of a risk. Not sure Pickett has the huge upside
- Arizona paid a huge price for a busting WR in my opinion
- GB, NE with head scratchers

I was surprised, too. I know that Louis Riddick, former NFL GM and current commentator for ESPN, interviewed w/the Steelers about their soon to be vacant GM job and I know he loves Pickett. Wonder if there is a correlation there?

It is not that Pickett looks bad.

I just don't see any single thing he does exceptionally well. He was the first quarterback taken?

Take his last season off the Board and he was not good. He played four years. He will be 24 in June. 38 fumbles in four years?

Every way you would measure a quarterback there is not one trait that stands out with him.

Willis has a lot to learn. But he has some exceptional abilities. Big arm. Throws a great deep ball. Amazing runner. A real threat as a runner.

He can be accurate. Has a nice touch on the ball. Throws well off platform. Comes across as a very likeable player.

I don't know. We shall see. Actually I am very happy about it.

I’ve seen Pickett quite a few times and have tons of Pitt fans.

A few things about him:

- He’s got great leadership and passion to win. Probably his best trait.
- He’s not physically gifted like other QBs. Not a huge arm. Not a huge frame.
- He’s probably the most “ready” QB (I hate to use Weeden, but that’s who comes to mind)
- His ceiling isn’t as high as other prospects, but his floor isn’t as low either

Well old Bill will not be offering to shake hands after a game with the Rams.

Rude behavior.

Yep! Ruined my 'draft board' after getting 4 of the first 6 picks correct....lol

Riddick is also a Pitt grad. On one of the ESPN shows someone was busting his chops because he had mocked Pickett as his number one QB

As usual the Pats take somebody out of left field...I don't know why they do it.
Ravens got their kind of guy a stud safety and at a steal...smh

Arggghhh us picking at 13 Jordan Davis the biggest (literally) difference maker in this draft. He would of brought our DL into something amazing and a championship level DL with CLowney in FA.

Well Panthers and Seattle did not take QBs now will they consider Baker to be better than any 2nd round QB out there. Just curious outside of Drew Brees (who by the numbers prior to expansion was actually at the end of the first not beginning of 2nd) but what 2nd round QB out there ever made it??? So hopefully we will be walking away with an extra 2nd round pick from this draft

Why is Nakobe Dean still available how was Quay taken before him???

Kyle Hamilton is a typical Raven pick. BPA.

He is really good. Like maybe the best in the draft.

Honestly, I believe Trubisky is better than Pickett.

Berry is in great shape. Tons of options on the board.

He could go in many directions and that is a very good position to be in.

Just for clarification Riddick has never been a GM. It’ll be interesting how the Steelers GM search turns out. They interviewed like 20 guys.

5 Georgia Bulldogs taken in round 1. Dean was the best player on that defense. Travon Walker taken 1st overall was the 6th best.
Dean, Davis, Wyatt, Walker and the young DE who wasn't draft eligible this year - forget his name
Clearly prediction is more important than production.

I found it hilarious when the camera focused on fans after their teams made their pick(s) and you could see that the fan(s) had no idea who was just chosen.

You make some great points! There were some head-scratchers (ref. Bill B. and Jermaine Johnson II falling to #26) but no surprise that only 1 QB was selected. The talent at that position simply wasn't there. I also would have liked Davis at #13, however....

Andy Dalton
Derek Carr
Randall Cunningham
Boomer Esiason
Brett Favre
Ron Jaworski

So a grand total of six over the past 49 years?

Apparently, Dean has some medical issues.

I heard a report today about that.

Didn't they say that about JOK?

I don't believe that any medicals were verfied about JOK.

On Dean they were reporting today on one of the pre draft shows

I was just watching College Game Day and they were talking about how teams didn't like his height and weight. All the commentators still think he is going to a very good pro.

Maybe There Were No Medicals But the Word of Mouth Cost JOK from Being Picked in Round #1, Which I Am Happy He Wasn't
