What song is playing in the background. It's killing me I can't remember the name.

There are some decent FAs available still like Ngakoue, Clowny, Floyd, and Clark. I wonder if we sign one after the draft.

It's why I'm glad we went offense. We have some key young guys to build around on D. We traded away both of the young offensive skill position players we had to build around. Build around your QB. There are good stopgap defenders available.

you know what I've noticed about the draft? I almost made a thread about this.

doesn't it seem like over the last couple years since the pandemic draft that the first round features tons of fans in the front rows that look like they aren't real fans, just paid actors or models that dress up in teams gear and get paid to stand there and cheer? There was a seahawks fan, blonde bombshell, fake lips, all dolled up, literally only wearing a fresh Seahawks draft cap. Standing by herself, nobody else with her, and she was just dancing and clapping the whole time. Ain't no way she is a diehard Seahawks fan that paid BANK to sit front row like that.

they mix in some super fans too, but then you also see all these fake "superfans" dressed from head to toe in gear with like NFL draft custom props and outfits. there aint no fuggin way. it's all fake af. the real fans are all the way in the back. And watch, none of them will be there for the next day.

maybe I'm crazy, idk. 

Oh I can guarantee they have "seat fillers" for lack of a better term.

Are we getting close to Hooker-in-the-3rd time? If he's not picked by Seattle, barring a trade that sounds like the likely outcome.

[MrBubba]

Detroit trades up, Detroit Hooker?  

 

Some time soon it will happen.

Which one are you looking at? Mock draft database has him as 12th WR/79 overall on their consensus big board.

Espn had him 5th wr and 37th overall 

Fox had him 70th overall and 6th wr

Draft profile had him as a 2nd round pick

Athlon had him as a 2nd/3rd pick

Walter as a 2nd/3rd round pick

 

There's another one or two that had him the 30-40 range I'm trying to find. 

 

Few outliers like cbs and mock draft database. 

That's media wise and most were way off this year. A few did really well compared to everyone else but they have or had actual scouts help them with their boards. 

 

Scouting wise, maybe 15 players with first round GRADES. Tons with 2/3 grades and this class is varied and more volatile from team to team then most recent drafts.

I wanted Ojulari but I'm an Ole Miss fan so i get to root for Corral and Mingo. I think we need pass rush help in free agency as someone mentioned.

Free agents still available…in Fitty we trust

[BrisbanePanther]

Not sure why, but I really liked this moment for Branch. Good on him for coming back today.

Patriots took an amazing player there,  Branch is top notch

Those Lions fans just scream fetal alcohol syndrome.

He went to the Lions. They leapfrogged the Pats.

White did not look happy
