Moving up to draft a kicker in the second round.  That was a humdinger!

Indeed.

That could become infamous, like the Jags drafting their punter (the guy they just released so they could sign Nortman) in the 3rd ahead of a bunch of guys like Russell Wilson.

It's going to become a meme.  "Yeah, strange pick, bad draft, but at least we didn't trade up in the 2nd to pick a kicker"

I hope someone will keep a record of all the studs that emerge that Tampa could have picked instead!

As we've learned from our picks, who cares about where players go? Just because drafttalkguyz.com says that a player shouldn't go in the top whatever doesn't mean that that player shouldn't. Teams are so complex, no one on the outside has any idea on what each team is doing.

the browns drafting 5 WR's

Don't know that they had much choice. Their top 2 WRs were Andrews Hawkins who is 5'7" and 30 years old and Brian Hartline who honestly just sucks. When you've got 14 picks and no one at the position you can afford to throw a wide net hoping a few of them stick. It's pretty similar to what we did at CB.

I've got several-

1st- Germain Ifedi OT- Hard to believe the Hawks took him ahead of Spriggs. He's a project.
2nd- Christian Hackenberg QB- I'd bet big money he'll be a big bust. Certainly not worth a 2nd round pick.
4th- Willie Beavers OT - Sucked in his senior year and at the Senior Bowl.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
