Wow. The Ravens might have just moved on from Justin Tucker.

The people in that draft war room did NOT make the call on that pick. LOL https://www.threads.com/@nfldraftdiamonds/post/DI65yPBSFYO/media?xmt=AQGz12e9HRBK8c4Xbu9HGSDN_z6QesW5Nj6l5GBO1FHT9A

That was the last LB I had serious interest in.

The other guys at the table are literally about to tell Kiper to just STFU and I'm here for it. LOL Okay, seven picks later ESPN is finally ready to acknowledge that another player is being drafted.

Mel Kiper is going full clown show meltdown. LOLOLOL

This is exactly the type of distraction teams didn't want to invite for a guy brought in to compete for a backup QB role. They can't figure out why he fell so far without the self awareness to realize that this is exactly why.

There's been four guys drafted and ESPN's coverage hasn't even acknowledged their existence while they continually glaze Shedeur Sanders.

So ESPN is just gonna talk about Shedeur Sanders for the remainder of the draft? They're not even mentioning these guys currently being drafted. LOL

Owner probably stepped in and said "get me some press, draft Shedeur". The football folks had already made their QB pick.

One of the teams with a history of perennial excellence and brilliant decisions jumps all over Shedeur Sanders seeing the tremendous value in the 5th round. Oh wait... no, it was the Cleveland Browns. LOLOLOLOL

That's a bizarre thing to complain about. They're letting fans from international locations announce late round picks... *RAGE*!!! LOL

Nice. I really wanted to come out of this deep DT draft with one of them.

Three of the four guys the Falcons have drafted were guys I was really keeping an eye on for the Panthers (Walker, Watts, and Bowman). They're drafting for coverage at safety. Something I've been waiting for decades for the Panthers to do.

Our new head of analytics was the head of analytics for PFF. There's going to be a LOT of overlap because we're probably using very similar metrics for evaluating the analytics.

Yeah, it really stretches the coaching staff in terms of individual focus on development when you have TOO much youth in a unit.

Not the type of safety I was wanting but it's the type of safety the Panthers have always been attracted to. Hopefully it works out.

Evidently we just don't want coverage with our safeties. It's weird but hey, we'll see how it all plays out. We sure seems stuck in the '80s and '90s with our approach at safety.

I mean "average athleticism" for NFL prospects is still absolutely top tier athleticism among the general population.

As soon as you step off the campus of South Carolina, USC means Southern Cal and Carolina means UNC.

A little earlier than I expected to take a RB but cool. I'm gonna be disappointed if we don't come out of the deepest DT draft in recent memory without a DT though.

I would absolutely take him over Shedeur.

There's nothing about his physical traits and playing style and say "NFL starter" to me. Go back and watch how many of his big plays were just throwing up prayers to Travis Hunter who just out dueled DBs to get those balls. See how many anticipation throws you can find. If you don't have a cannon of an arm you better throw with anticipation in the NFL.

I found it funny how many people were hollering about that pick talking about how Shedeur threw for 4000 yards and 37 TDs seemingly oblivious to the fact that Dillon Gabriel has put up some of the biggest numbers in college history. The guy has nearly 19k yards and 155 TDs. If you want to use the college stats argument for Shedeur you definitely don't wanna use it to go up against Dillon Gabriel.

At this point I honestly don't think it would be shocking. I do wonder how many draft boards he's simply not even on. Evaluated as backup caliber, brings a full three ring circus of distraction with him... yeah, nah we're good.

No. You don't want a backup QB that brings a full circus to town with him. That's the big reason he's tumbling. I think teams evaluate him as a likely backup and no one wants to deal with BS from a backup QB whether the BS is intentional or not. That's why Kaepernick, The Golden Calf of Bristol, late career Cam, etc. never latched on anywhere. If you're the backup QB you're expected to be out of sight, out of mind.
