Last year was a one-of-a-kind, so let's hope the luck carries over to this year, with Brett Veach at the helm for the first time.
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.
Joe Thomas is doing an AMA on Reddit. When asked who he thinks the Browns should take at #1 and #4, he said Rosen and Chubb. That would be a nice haul and I would be impressed. [Reply]

I would laugh if they pulled the ultimate smokescreen and drafted Rosen #1. [Reply]

Say they take Mayfield at #1.
Well now the Giants are basically on the clock and fielding trade offers for Darnold because everyone thought he'd be gone.
Plus the NFL wants to milk this shit.
Shit....I can remember when Mario Williams was picked BEFORE the draft and I'm pretty sure he was signed to a contract before it started as well. [Reply]
Again, I referenced nothing, RunKC brought him up and I said he was a freak athlete.
Meanwhile the CHiefs being rumored to be interest in a DL means they're taking a CB because they were rumored to like Darby a few years ago and took Peters?

NFL and TV like it and may have asked them to do it, but the only benefit to the Browns is if they still considering the tiny chance of a trade down. If you know for sure the Giants are going Barkley, and the Jets not taking your guy and willing to give up multiple picks to swap... [Reply]

That make sense?
I assume that was guessed since there was no verification that it was leaked to usual national sources. While KC supposedly had a mancrush on Hughes through out the process. [Reply]

This is what's so great about the rookie wage scale. They don't have to tip their hand by pre-negotiating contracts. Leads to more trades. Also, more QBs going in the 1st round. You can take a chance.
Hell, Cleveland should take QBs at 1 and 4 because of this. Why not? [Reply]
