Don't be a dick.
Otherwise, have fun, talk shit, freak out and lose your goddamned minds. It's Draft Weekend. The hot takes in these threads are so funny. I'll also be starting player threads for each of our picks as they are made, with videos and notable stats/takes in the OP. These separate threads will be made as soon as the news breaks, outside of this thread. I will link the threads below. Pure knee-jerk gold to reference in the future.

I feel like Pearsall and Roman Wilson are so overhyped.
The Niners could have added a weapon like Mitchell, but instead drafted a mid to late second round pick at 31.
When I watch Pearsall, I see Justin Watson. Other than basically The Catch, his highlights look like a star division 3 receiver putting together a video package, hoping to get a camp invite. Nothing stands out.
Roman Wilson reminds me of Albert Wilson. He isn't a scrub, but he benefited from the Michigan offensive scheme more than McCarthy did.
There are still 7-8 receivers better than Pearsall still on the board.
However, this is the GM that traded up for Trey Lance in the top 5.
Strong disagree. I didn't think he'd go in the first round, but Pearsall is going to be a really good pro. [Reply]
Even if we package both 4th rounders we still can only move up about 10 picks with them. So not ideal for a trade up unless we move something next year [Reply]
Bills are playing a game of hoarding young impact players at cost and under team control. We also won the Mahomes trade, the pieces received then got us back from obscurity. We’ll win this too. Trust the process. #BillsMafia
Even following his own logic -- that Mahomes wouldn't be Mahomes in Buffalo, he needed Reid, Hill and Kelce to be fully operational -- that simply means the Bills made that marriage possible by trading the pick to a conference rival, who has used that marriage to bounce them in the playoffs three times. So THEY LOST THAT TRADE. [Reply]

You can keep "winning" trades with us guys, we'll keep winning Super Bowls. Idiots.
McDermott is a mediocre defensive coach and a dinosaur who fell in love with Mitch Trubisky. [Reply]
I'll have to read through this thread later, but I really don't know WTF Buffalo is doing. I understand their trade down with us. That has respectable value for both sides, but the 5th year option they gave up to Carolina for a few draft spots is criminally bad.
Unless of course you intend to pick someone that is shitty and you won't use the 5th year option. I guess that could be their approach. [Reply]
The Bills probably don't know what to do at this point; if they trade down with us we get Patrick Mahomes, if they don't trade with us we get Trent McDuffie, so maybe they're trying to see if trading with us will reverse it this time, like an Uno card. [Reply]
