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 think the Bowers pick is surprising, since they drafted what many said was the best TE last year in Michael Mayer.
Right? I don't follow the Raiders, so I don't know, was he a bust? I don't have a problem with them taking him, because he seems to have everything it takes to be great. I just thought you would give Mayer more time, especially since the coaching staff changed during the year. [Reply]
I hope this BYU kid isn't another Lucas Niang. Seems like he's a smart kid and he is the biggest Mormon we've had since John Tait. Last night I was watching the draft order go down. I was wondering if we'd take Rakestraw to replace Sneed, but Detroit got him. I think this BYU kid could be a keeper. He certainly won't be any worse than OBJ was. Like to see them take Schrader from Mizzou today if he's around in a late round. [Reply]

He's built much differently than Niang and moves better than Morris already. He's still raw, but the canvas is there to develop a stud tackle. The ceiling for Niang (who can't stay healthy) and Morris is closer to this kid's floor IMO. [Reply]

Possible that we see Kingsley at LT and Morris at RT in a few years. I assume KC would love to get out of the Taylor contract when the time is right. [Reply]
Today I'm hoping we fill needs at a run-plugging DT, RB, CB and a second WR.
I think Brenden Rice would be a good get for this offense. One thing I noted with Rice playing with Caleb Williams is that went Caleb went off structure Rice was excellent at keeping moving and finding a hole in the defense.
Run pluging DTs I like include Jaden Crumedy, Fabian Lovett and Khristian Boyd
This draft has a lot of press corners; My sleeper is Jarius Monroe, Tulane.
Some good running backs too: My late round favorite is Rasheen Ali. [Reply]

Taylor plays like he did the second half of the season going forward he is a bargain. Guards are getting $22 per now. [Reply]
