Which team ‘won’ round 1 and which team ‘bombed’

Panthers and Eagles clear winners. Once Nolan Smith dropped into the late 20s I wanted the Panthers to trade up for him so bad. Really disgusting the Eagles get to add the caliber of those 2 players to the best team in the NFC. Oh and they got to move up to the top of the 3rd just because the Cardinals organization is dumb as fug. Yes, I’m jealous as hell.

Wtf are the Lions doing. They lost Witherspoon and had no plan B apparently. Still, they could have done literally anything other than what they did.

I would have been totally fine with trading back, getting more picks and taking Hooker.  I think he's going to be as good as any of the other 4.

Taking a 25 year old who’s going to sit his whole rookie season due to injury in the first round? Thanks but no thanks.

Drafting a RB in the top half of the 1st = L.

The Chiefs drafted a guy I thought was gonna be a 3rd rounder.

The Eagles killed it on paper.

The Steelers have been very un-Steelersish in recent years reaching on need.

I'm curious to see who else the Falcons had on their board.

From a value stand point it's a poor pick. That said he's one of the three best players in this Draft, if not the best one so it's difficult to criticize the selection.

Gibbs went way higher than I thought he would, that's much more questionable.

Arizona may be dumb AF, but I like how they maneuvered this draft so far. They got a franchise LT, picked up a 1st next year (a Texans 1st is all but guaranteed to be a low one), and are sitting pretty with the 2nd pick for today. There's a couple of guys that could have easily been 1st rounders still sitting there.

Sitting with a Cardinals 1st rounder and a Texans 1st rounder for next year has to make you the leader in the clubhouse to land one of either Drake Maye or Caleb Williams.

Texans, a bad team with holes everywhere and just took a rookie QB who needs time to learn NFL offense playing for a raw, young coaching staff, trading their first rounder next year to move up for a defensive end

They could have traded up to 6-9 range for Wilson or Carter instead and not given up the 1st round pick

There's a very high chance that pick is top 10, they basically have to win the division now

Instantly lost the draft for them

Winners of round 1:

Eagles- Carter and Smith in round 1 to an already sick defense. They’re cultivating the Philly Bulldogs up there

 Texans- QB1 and stud stud DE/OLB, that’s called new era aggressive for year 1 Ryans era

Ravens: signed Lamar and drafted a speed WR, this should be fun 

Losers:

Lions: WTH, your defense is what kept you out of the playoffs. You signed Montgomery, you have Swift

 

It's been 12 hours. Nobody knows

I would put the Falcons as a "bomb".

I get it, Bijan was the top rated RB, but have teams not learned that you just don't take RBs in the top 10? We had the most versatile RB in the NFL, and didn't win games. Saquon Barkley's team never does sh*t. Derrick Henry had some of the craziest seasons from a RB EVER, and only got to the AFC championship once. Dalvin Cook teams never did anything. Jonathan Taylor one of the best backs in the league, his teams never do anything. Not to mention, even if he DOES ball out, then you have to pay a RB top dollar on his next contract, and we've seen first hand how that works out.

SO GLAD the Falcons didn't take Jalen Carter lol

From a team building aspect you are 100% correct that 10 is too high with all the holes they have.  However from our perspective its going to be a motherfuger playing them and their run game.

    • And I’m fine with that.   But, with an impatient owner….that carries high odds of just him employing a new HC in the not distant future.  The “we will see if the scheme that doesn’t fit our #1 overall pick QB works or not” approach seems like a rocky plan for all.  If I was Canales I would give it shot but demanded I need to be able to sign a legit backup QB in case what I was given just doesn’t work and can transition at the end of the year 
    • That's really unlikely to happen.  The reality is, they are building for what Canales wants to do.  That's what all coaches do.  And if Bryce can't do that, he's another peg that has to be replaced.
    • There is nothing unpopular at all about your opinion. How everything played out on the field backs it up. Bryce starts the season with much fanfare, gives the atl game away, and showed anyone who watched that his arm talent was shockingly bad. bad look, so after a few weeks, the team cooks up a fake injury that nobody saw, presumably to decide what direction to go next. Enter Dalton for one game while Bryce is seen walking comfortably on the sideline, smiling and yucking it up like he’s a 5 year vet.  Dalton performs admirably given the circumstances (please no Dalton ve Bryce retort). The contrast between the two was so strong that it’s still debated today. If Dalton’s performance was similar to what Bryce had done up to that point, I truly believe they would have sat Bryce longer, but it wasn’t.  Dalton relied on vet savvy and a better arm. It’s debatable how many games that gets us. Meaningless to fans, but not to players with serious financial incentives on the line.  What it really was, was a ‘young man (see what I did?)’ playing a grown man’s game, who lacked basic fundamentals and essential physical talent, behind a line that was VERY ill suited for the scheme forced on them, WRs who looked completely confused and unmotivated, with a back stabbing coaching staff in give up mode, GM who I wouldn’t trust to organize my cooking utensil drawer and an owner who meets with coaches every week and tells them which plays he likes and which ones he doesn’t.  Bryce doesn’t get a mulligan, but I’m willing to give him a ‘my bad’ from the team. Last season stunk worse than Bigfoot’s di**. It literally can’t get ANY worse than the unwatchable sh** show that was last year.  I have to see a monumental change in his physical ability and overall confidence. I have to see that he found a laser arm, somewhere, in the offseason, or everything else is irrelevant.
