NFL Draft

[DipStick]

Jared Goff went #1 to Los Angeles, Carson Wentz #2 to Philadelphia. San Diego dropped the first surprise picking Jared Bosa at #3. Then, Dallas picked Ezekiel Elliott at #4, which allowed Jacksonville to steal Jalen Ramsey at #5.

Laremy Tunsil fell to Miami in #13. And Myles Jack is still on the board.

Seattle just traded #26 pick to Denver. Denver picked Paxton Lynch.

Entertaining stuff in Chicago.

No its not. It's more of the nfl trying to do the one thing it doesn't need: more promotion.

Agree with that.. And would someone PLEASE tell me why LA, with the #1 #1 pick, needed to be 'put on the clock' when they've had weeks to decide who they wanted?

Commercials. This is dan Snyder league. Everything is about selling and promoting a 'product' that needs no help.
If the rams were ready right away, and they were, that didn't fit the promotional show.

You should've seen how mad people were that Los Angeles and Philadelphia both took the entirety of the 10 minute clock to make their picks, even though both knew who they were taking weeks ago.

Once Goff and Wentz were off, the real fun began. Especially since Goff and Wentz weren't worth the first and second picks. San Diego and Dallas were legitimate surprises. Everyone thought Jalen Ramsey was going to Dallas with the fourth overall pick. Nobody thought Joey Bosa was going to San Diego with the third pick.

I'm happy with how all that went down myself. Jacksonville got a steal with Ramsey at number five.

Jacksonville just stole Myles Jack in the second round. Dave Caldwell gonna get paid!
