Finally! Draft day is here. (NFL Draft Round 1 Live thread)

[CPF4LIFE]

Glad they reduced the time, hell i would only give every team 5 minutes.

Final prediction:

If Thieneman is there we run to the podium. If not, we see if Pittsburgh or Miami want to move up for Simpson.

Anytime you're feeling a little blue about our terrible drafting history, just consider this. LOL

It’s a ridiculous movie, but incredibly entertaining. It does a great job capturing the inner dynamics of an organization—the owner chasing a splashy move, coaches pushing for their guys, and the GM stuck in the middle, balancing all those pressures while still having to make the right call for the team.

Did not know about that 8 minutes switch.

That’s really nice. 15 minutes was ridiculous, especially since the clock always went to the end. I remember fondly when the first pick was pre-announced (before cap/preset values) and sometimes you’d know the top 3 in the first 5 minutes. Should be at our pick at 10:30, which ain’t bad for pick 19.

It's an awesome movie. The trade scenarios are absurd but it's a movie. Just watch it for the entertainment value vs. nitpicking the realistic of the trade scenarios.

I've hardly kept up with the draft this year, so unless it is a WR, I'll probably be happy with whomever we take.

I’d be happy with any

K. McDonald> Thieneman> McNeil-Warren> Sadiq> Iheanachor

[XClown1986]

Any one of these realistic targets, I'll be happy with in round 1:

DT Kayden McDonald

S Dillon Thieneman (I'm ok with him because he can play the slot and single high)

OT Caleb Lomu

 

I might rage if we draft:

S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (He's a box safety. We have plenty of those)

TE Kenyon Sadiq (Tight end bust rate is sky high in the first)

 

Kind of meh if we draft:

- OT Blake Miller (Future right tackle starter. Not much to be excited about this year)

- WR Omar Cooper (He's good, but receiver again?)

- WR KC Concepcion (He's a second round talent, in my mind)

Thanks for the cut to 8 minutes between picks. Less time I have to listen to at least one of the draft talking heads, the better. [cough cough Kiper].

I predict lots of weeping and gnashing of teeth. Me? I will be laughing...because it will be entertaining.

The only thing that may save us is a trade back for more pics.

FYI: For those that don't know, the time limit for round 1 decisions has been shortened to 8 minutes. 

I figure we'll be able to hit the sack at least an hour earlier this year, or maybe pontificate, opine or even commiserate for that extra hour, depending upon your style and mood. I should be sleeping now, but I'm excited.

I will be googling your vocab words.

I wonder if less time means fewer trades.

Excited to see who we pick! I have a bad feeling that if we don’t draft best OT available with our first pick we may regret it as soon as this season. We desperately need depth immediately, possibly even a starter depending how Moton looks at this point in his career and whether he keeps clean from injury, and our other starter I am concerned that nobody seemed to want all that much. And we almost certainly will need at least one new starter next year and OTs typically have some growing pains the first year at least if not 2 years, so now is really the time to draft one for next year.

Damn Underhill I completely agree with you on something
