Not familiar with this guy.  Would he be in a position to know?

fwiw:

that was 8 days before the draft.

To be fair that pick was pretty obvious and I even had a prediction the Panthers were going McCaffrey and I’m some random asshole

The last three Gettleman 1st rounders were all widely rumored.

Darnold over a generational running back in Barkley and Chubb at 1 and 4...make your defensive line nasty and have a backfield with Barkley and Carlos Hyde. Tyrod Taylor with actual weapons in Jacksons offense will likely be more than serviceable.

I actually really like that.  Issue is having a QB long term though in their (and their fans) eyes

The NFL say the picks early for years, then it stopped. Leave it up to the media again to ruin something. People don't want to know before the draft. Otherwise why watch the fuging draft? We've been down this road Mario Williams.

It's all smokescreens though tbh. I'm sitting there thinking jesus imagine Myles and Chubb as pass rushers. They did sign Tyrod who is a good QB. The media is just hyping this as much as possible for ratings. OMG WILL THEY TAKE TWO QBS!? fug watch them take none.

Hack sports writers inserting themselves into the story during the NFL draft is damn close to the most annoying thing in the world.  It’s a scramble to see which egghead can top the others on the ol’ Twitter. Gross AF. I hate this new breed of Adderall sports journalism. Mad dash erratic, and insufferably annoying. 

Then again, I am an old guard journalist with old guard sensibilities. 

Anyway. Congrats, Benjamin Albright. You get to be famous. For 12 hours. Sorta.

Not exactly a shocking forecast.

Eeehh, I'd give him credit for that, especially given the hashtag.

Seems staged to me, but then everything in the NFL seems staged or telegraphed to me these days.

Sure he was right, but as best I remember, most people had us picking CMC if he was available.

And, by the way, not to pick on this Albright guy, but this is the quintessential 2018 generic sports tweeter avatar. 

Look at that intensity. Those eyes. Hot takes aren’t born, men....they’re made. 

But, yea. If your profile pic resembles this in any way: douche.
