[luckiestman]

This guy looks like a fucking hug, embrace me Olu

[NortheasternPJ]

Through almost 12 picks in just over and 1:15. We’re moving along.

 

[ifmanis5]

Jets are competent now?

 

[Darnell's Son]

“mindfulness; I love that shit.”

I am definitely old.

I can confrim this.

Jesus fucking christ

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Nix at 12? In the 1st round?

 

[Ale Xander]

Fairly short travel for the Fashanu family too. Happy for them. They seem ecstatic.

 

[67YAZ]

Jets with a good trade and a good pick? WTF?

 

[Darnell's Son]

Dont start that fight again ... Remember what happened last time you did? I cried for 13 days

Ahh, the good ole days.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Jets are competent now?

They have a 40 year-old QB who missed last season. Jury's out.

 

[luckiestman]

Jesus fucking christ

Zach will make his life HELL

 

[loshjott]

Jesus fucking christ

Yeah, I can’t believe He dropped to 13.

 

[Red Averages]

Whoever prioritizes defense is going to win. Good lord.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Some guys are going to drop to 34.

 

[nattysez]

Jesus fucking christ

Congrats - you found someone who's older than Nix.

 

[canderson]

What the actual fuck

 

[Cellar-Door]

Good Lord

 

[Oil Can Dan]

Nix at 12!! If you're picking in the 15-20 range this draft is breaking great for you.

 

[Red Averages]

Some guys are going to drop to 34.

Trade up and get an extra year if there are guys falling.

 

[ifmanis5]

6 QBs in 12 picks.

 

[Justthetippett]

oh thank god

Good pick for them and honestly better for non-Jets fans too because I think Bowers would have been awesome the next year or two with Rodgers.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Bowers getting picked after Bo Nix…..I did not have this.

 

[BaseballJones]

Some guys are going to drop to 34.

This is all good news for the Pats for 34.

 

[Dollar]

A really good player is going to fall to the Pats at 34. The big question is, do they take the BPA who is falling (even if it's a defensive player like Verse or DeJean), or go for need and take a tackle/WR?

 

[Marbleheader]

Going to be a lot of busts in this draft.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Trade up and get an extra year if there are guys falling.

Yes, if they can find a partner.

 

[8slim]

Well, his grandfather was censured by the Senate.

For most of these guys, it’s a rented house with a camera crew, and I assume a caterer. Having a bunch of hats on hand doesn’t add much to the logistics.

If these are both true my mind is thoroughly blown for the night.

 

[BaseballJones]

Going to be a lot of busts in this draft.

This draft will impact the “bust rate for first round QBs” conversation. Let’s just hope it isn’t Maye on that list.

 

[rodderick]

A really good player is going to fall to the Pats at 34. The big question is, do they take the BPA who is falling (even if it's a defensive player like Verse or DeJean), or go for need and take a tackle/WR?

At this rate it might very well be the case that there's a huge discrepancy between defensive and offensive talent available at that spot.

 

[mauf]

I’m an old fart who remembers Kiper, DrZ, and Berman doing it on a Thursday afternoon. Agree, would take that over the spectacle any day.

I was home recovering from chicken pox and watched the entire first round of the 1987 draft. The broadcast was by and for people with a nerdy interest in football back in those days.

 

[Reverend]

6 QBs in 12 picks.

Gotta wonder if the rules have been bent too far towards QBs.

 

[OnWisc]

Going to be a lot of busts in this draft.

As long as Maye’s is in Canton….

 

[luckiestman]

Going to be a lot of busts in this draft.

I have already busted

 

[nighthob]

Nix at 12? In the 1st round?

I'm not sure whether that or Penix at 8 is the bigger shocker.

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

This reminds me a little of the Locker, Gabbert, Ponder QB desperation run of the 2011 draft.

That went well.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Jesus I wish we had another pick in Rd 1. Nix at 12 is....a choice.

 

[canderson]

Going to be a lot of busts in this draft.

Super hot take. Penix is the best NFL QB chosen so far (including Nix ………)

 

[MuppetAsteriskTalk]

This is all good news for the Pats for 34.

Yeah, I was thinking Pats might contemplate trading back if they don't trade up. But they may be able to sit tight at 34 and grab a nice WR or OT. Or a falling defensive player with a 1st round grade.

 

[Justthetippett]

A really good player is going to fall to the Pats at 34. The big question is, do they take the BPA who is falling (even if it's a defensive player like Verse or DeJean), or go for need and take a tackle/WR?

I just hope it's an OT (Mims, Guyton).

 

[tims4wins]

Yeah, I was thinking Pats might contemplate trading back if they don't trade up. But they may be able to sit tight at 34 and grab a nice WR or OT.

My thought too. No need to trade back up now.

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

Nix to the Broncos...ahahahah

 

[nattysez]

My hot take was that the Pats were going to trade for Herbert. So sad that Harbaugh isn't completely nuts yet.

Report: Patriots, Vikings checked on Herbert before draft

[Beomoose]

Nix going 12, wow. The QB arms race is wild

 

[luckiestman]

I'm not sure whether that or Penix at 8 is the bigger shocker.

I know we’re getting risqué in here but we don’t need to bring up shockers.

 

[Ale Xander]

This is like 15-20 picks too early for Nix imho but perhaps I’m wrong

Raidershave to be shell shocked

 

[Red Averages]

Gotta wonder if the rules have been bent too far towards QBs.

I think it’s more that there are truly some horrific QB1s in the NFL in 2023, particularly after so many big injuries.

I also think if everyone is prioritizing something the value says too lean the other way and stack up on high end talent elsewhere.

 

[Reverend]

Super hot take. Penix is the best NFL QB chosen so far (including Nix ………)

So you don’t think Penix busts?

 

[Darnell's Son]

"Most experienced college quarterback..."

That's good?
