Rules:
1. No spoiled picks in this thread, all weekend. This means that as tweets are leaking picks a few minutes before the selection is announced live, you don't post it in this thread (ex: embedded tweets), reference it in this thread (ex: Joe Slapdick says it's McCaffrey to Tampa) or hint at it (ex: "it's a RB!").
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 threads for each of our picks as they are made, with videos and notable stats/takes in the OP. Pure knee jerk gold to reference in the future. [Reply]

The Bears moving up to get Trubisky is exactly why the notion of "this year's QB class is mediocre; you're better waiting for the next one," is dumb. [Reply]

15 minutes into the draft, and that happens. Everything you thought you knew just got shot out the window.
Yep. No surprises for me so far though. Well... except for that generous trade value SF stole. [Reply]

Dude they got raped. For a middling talent with 13 games of experience.
