2018 NFL Draft Round 1 Game Thread NO SPOILERS PLEASE

[SMU_Sox]

That's possibly the worst pick of the night even over Allen.

 

[ElcaballitoMVP]

That is a weird pick

 

[Ale Xander]

Wait, what??

what happened?

NFLN?

 

[Ale Xander]

Wait, what??

Oh seahawks pick, nm

 

[DanoooME]

That's possibly the worst pick of the night even over Allen.

Of course, people said that about Bruce Irvin too. In PC/JS we trust

 

[jcd0805]

ESPN guys momentarily speechless with that pick

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I wonder if Belichick was worried about Seahawks taking Wynn and didn’t see much difference in whatever other player he would get at 23 versus what would drop to 31.

 

[SMU_Sox]

Wynn did not visit the Patriots nor meet with him at UGA pro day. More proof that the visit list doesn't mean much.

Look, nearly 80% of the guys they picked in the first 4 rounds since 2013 were guys who visited. Plus they have a pseudo connection with UGA. Smart is a former Saban guy. Think Belichick and Scar didn't make a call?

I think the Seahawks think they have the line pretty much set (for better or for worse) and they'll probably use a couple of 5ths on OL.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

You should have stopped after your first sentence. It was a joke about sexy picks.

I have not sunk any time into the draft and certainly am not sulking over a guy with monster OL production.

Yeah, I’m an idiot.

 

[djbayko]

WTF? Before Michel?

Rumor is that Michel might drop due to a knee issue, but yeah, most people had like 4 RBs on the board before this guy.

 

[FL4WL3SS]

Pretty sure that was a sarcastic joke maybe about taking a guy from UGA with a medical issue?

Actually was serious. I felt like Seymour was the last, but didn't think that could be right. Forgot Mitchell was a GA player.

 

[SMU_Sox]

Of course, people said that about Bruce Irvin too. In PC/JS we trust

RB. In first round. In a year when you don't have many picks. With your roster. I can't believe they made that pick. Can you?

 

[DanoooME]

Shazier making the pick?

They talked with him at the Combine.

 

[Seels]

Bruce Irvin wasn't really a great pick either. Wasn't he the 15 overall? I'm not saying he was a bust but at 15 overall he was blah at best.

 

[DanoooME]

RB. In first round. In a year when you don't have many picks. With your roster. I can't believe they made that pick. Can you?

No, not a fucking bit. I'm apoplectic, but trying to figure out the thought process.

 

[jcd0805]

This is fantastic!! Wonderful for Ryan!!

 

[edmunddantes]

Just feel like Pats trade out of round for 1st next year if Lamar is still there.

 

[SMU_Sox]

Actually was serious. I felt like Seymour was the last, but didn't think that could be right. Forgot Mitchell was a GA player.

My bad, my girlfriend's family are big UGA fans (she also went there for her undergrad) and they follow UGA players in the NFL religiously. Some sort of logical fallacy - maybe information bias?

 

[Catcher Block]

That's a pretty big Fuck You to the wheelchair kid from earlier.

 

[Ale Xander]

wow, 2 brothers in same first round at same school. HAs to be rare

 

[SMU_Sox]

They talked with him at the Combine.

Oh, hey, that counts as a "visit".

 

[RedOctober3829]

Wow, Shazier looks like he will have an uphill battle to just live a normal life. He's never playing football again.

 

[mcpickl]

In terms of roster considerations if you lose Shaq Mason he likely would qualify for a 3rd or 4th round comp pick. They were high on Garcia. They needed quality depth at both positions and now have 3 guys to compete for OT.

Can't help but thinking this really was a great move.

Could Joe Thuney kick out to tackle?

 

[SMU_Sox]

What the fuck?! Edmunds?! In the 1st?!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Wow, Shazier looks like he will have an uphill battle to just live a normal life. He's never playing football again.

Yikes, I had no idea.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Great to see Shazier walking again but there’s no way he’s coming back and playing.

 

[SMU_Sox]

Justin Reid goes after Edmunds?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Rocking a shimmering gold suit as you walk across the floor on national TV after nearly being paralyzed within the last few months is historically badass.

 

[Ale Xander]

Either one of the corners or Lamar will be there.

 

[SMU_Sox]

So Penny and then Edmunds. I am floored. I liked them too - just had day 2 and day 3 grades on them. So did a lot of others...

 

[Red Averages]

Yikes, I had no idea.

My takeaway as well. Feel horrible for him. Needed to hold onto someone constantly (either his fiancé or Roger) while taking pictures like everything is fine. Must be just crushing constantly. Wow

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Could Joe Thuney kick out to tackle?

I was sort of curious about Thuney overall. I thought he had a fair share of bad moments last season but I don't know if that's selective memory.

 

[Average Game James]

Anyone surprised to see Landry dropping so far?

 

[DanoooME]

Hawks fans are freaking out.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I was sort of curious about Thuney overall. I thought he had a fair share of bad moments last season but I don't know if that's selective memory.

First half, then he really turned it on.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Terrell Edmunds looks a lot like Stefan Urquelle.

 

[MillarTime]

Terrell Edmunds looks a lot like Stefan Urquelle.

Bravo

 

[Red Averages]

Jags definitely need front 4 help...

 

[Ale Xander]

Doesn;t have to go far

 

[ifmanis5]

Another DL for the Jags?

 

[Jerry’s Curl]

Lots of good players at this pick, yum.

 

[DanoooME]

Another DL for the Jags?

Another Philly imitator

 

[Ale Xander]

Lots of good players at this pick, yum.

anyone have 2 picks between 33 and 42?

 

[SMU_Sox]

Great pick! Taven Bryan at 29 was a dream I think for them. That's a nice consolation prize after losing out on Hayden Hurst. Actually losing out on Hurst probably did them a favor.

 

[Ale Xander]

Teddy Bridgewater went to U of L . . .

 

[mwonow]

Gotta hand it to BB - at least one of Landry or Jackson is still around

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Landry, Jackson, Jackson, or Oliver?

Bet they take Justin Reid.

 

[DanoooME]

anyone have 2 picks between 33 and 42?

Cleveland at 33 and 35. No, you're not getting both.
