Official Draft Day Thread

With the fourth overall pick, everyone thinks the Redskins will take an offensive tackle, probably Trent Williams or maybe Russell Okung. But ESPN's Adam Schefter, who is close with Redskins coach Mike Shanahan and has broken several Redskins-related stories this offseason, says he thinks people are going to be surprised with what the Redskins do with the fourth pick.

"I'm not so sure about that," Schefter said on ESPN Radio this morning, of the assumption that the Redskins will take a tackle. "It's the obvious pick and I think they have some things up their sleeve, is my guess."

Schefter also said the Redskins would like to trade down.

"Washington is interested in moving back if they can find a team that is looking to move up, but so far that has not been the case," he said. "They're not able to find a trade partner."

If they can't find a trade partner in the next 12 hours, they'll need to make their pick. Everyone thinks that pick will be an offensive tackle. But maybe everyone is wrong. Or maybe the Redskins just want everyone to think they're wrong as they continue to shop the pick.

I am reporting that I don't give a poo.

That's good to know.

That's interesting to hear about Clausen though. I believe it was Kiper that said there is an 80% chance The Golden Calf of Bristol goes in the first. For Clausen to fall all the way to 30, one would assume The Golden Calf of Bristol wouldn't be taken over Clausen. I don't think Colts or Saints take The Golden Calf of Bristol, so I'm assuming The Golden Calf of Bristol definitely goes Mid 2nd if this happens.

Uh-oh. Brandon Jacobs is gonna be pissed.

Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports that the Giants have asked running back C.J. Spiller for his phone number.

Unless they want to ask him out on a date, the only explanation is that they want to be ready to tell him that they'll be drafting him.

Though the Giants have shown no outward interest in Spiller, there's a belief that they could be in play. As yours truly pointed out last night on SNY's Loudmouths with Adam Schein and Chris Carlin, the Giants may have to move up a bit to get him.

I listened to a local player talk about his draft day experience. Team A got his phone number, said they were going to draft him early. He got friends and family together on draft day for a big party. Call never came. Next morning team A called him 16 times before he picked up the phone. Coach said we're going to take you with our first pick today............he said, what ever and hung up.

The Charlotte Observer projects the Panthers to draft Illinois WR Arrelious Benn with the No. 48 overall pick.

The Panthers also have a pressing need on the defensive line, but local media has been pushing for a wide receiver with the first pick. Notre Dame's Golden Tate, USC's Damian Williams, and Ohio's Taylor Price are also possibilities.

The NFL is always watching.

So when Jimmy Clausen sat down with Jon Gruden for his Sportscenter QB camp special, there were plenty of eyeballs still evaluating the Notre Dame quarterback.

"There are these nagging concerns about what kind of kid is he and the other night people around the league were talking about this," NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said this morning on the Dan Patrick Show. "He threw his wide receiver under the bus. And quarterbacking 101 is you take responsibility. Everything is your fault."

Mayock said that caused some to wonder, "People look at that go 'wow'. Is that what we're getting?"

It's amazing, but Mayock thinks the Gruden interview could hurt Clausen. No one can figure out where he'll land, with a long slide to No. 30 possible if he gets past San Francisco and Seattle.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
