Raiders go defensive back, nice.

And they go defensive back again.

Raiders filling in those defensive needs

Hartman and Slovis deserve to be drafted

 

[keonsbitterness]

someone got drafted from the argos lol

How often are CFL talent drafted

Think the last one was 1999. It's typically guys who don't go to college or leave early. CBA says you can't play in the NFL until three years after your high school class graduates.

Packers take Michael Pratt

Hartman and Slovis deserve to be drafted

like into the Army? I thought the draft was declared unconstitutional

 

[GKJ]

Dolphins took Mo Kamara, saw him vs. Colorado and they had no idea what to do with him until he took a personal foul and got ejected. They didn’t know what to do with anyone else either though

Raiders got a TE then a pair of OL on day 2. Got a LB and 3 secondary guys plus a RB on day 3. Added to areas of need.

Overall fine with the draft. Bowers was a surprise given they had Mayer. I was either or on trading down to rams at 19 and then taking either Mitchell or Arnold at CB or with Minny to 23 to add extra picks in 2025.

Seattle whom I also follow did fine.
Got a DT, then OG on day 2.

Added LB, TE, CB, OG, CB, OT on day 3.

The corners likely need time to develop and Seattle would have Tre Brown and Mike Jackson set to be free agents in 2025. Makes sense to get out in front of it.

LB classes are not very strong there days. Trotter JR when mocks first began was a late first then he fell to round 2 but first LB off the board. Falls to day 3….

 

[GKJ]

Nobody took Xavier Weaver or Frank Gore, Jr.

I think he will make it. Everyone groveling to Prime’s kid, who was he throwing the ball to?

He dropped out of school when his father died and then went on to a spring league (not USFL) in 2022. I guess the CFL was watching those guys because USFL guys are only looking at the NFL.

I'm so glad the Rams drafted Jordan Whittington. He was my late round prospect crush.

Prettiest man in sports right there.

If this draft is setting the trend for QBs then kids should remain in college and collect their NIL money unless they are certain to go day 1/2. Get as many reps as possible as you’ll only get one shot if your number is called as a day 3 guy.

And teams maybe realizing that unless you have plans for a day 2 QB Ala Levis and maybe Hooker (insurance for Goff contract talks), don’t waste a day 2 pick on them. Corral, Willis, Mond, Trask in recent years doing nothing for their teams in their first 2-3 years in the league. Better to just take a position player who can give you some snaps in sub packages.

Only because Cody Eakin is currently unsigned.

 

[Dr Salt]

Chargers have to be my favorite top to bottom class

 

[VanIslander]

The surefire fits to bet on a long career: Odunze, Alt and - yeah i said it - Penix, Jr. (Steve Young was roasted as well, sitting behind Joe Montana for years).

Lock & load.
