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 So and So to Green Bay) or hint at it (ex: "it's a RB!").
2. 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.

Anytime I saw a DB challenge Isabella and not let him dance he got his shit pushed in. He doesn't have a solution for physical DBs and it's going to make him be easily neutralized in the NFL. Adding to that, he can't consistently win the ball in the air against tight coverage and that's a staple for deep threats. I consider him nothing more than a gadget player. Pass.
There's way too much WR talent in the 2nd to settle for him. [Reply]
I know this is going to be a popular question this weekend. Here are the #Chiefs top wide receivers athletically versus players available in the draft from @MathBomb 's RAS formula. pic.twitter.com/02iI0pvrYi

do you see what Patriots do with Edelman? They move him around or off the line or in motion to not allow a DB to touch him coming off the line, you could easily do the same thing with him [Reply]
Are there any physical freaks who are raw at WR?? Tyreek was just like that coming out of college. Raw and didn’t know how to run routes. Now he’s one of the best WR in the league [Reply]

There are plenty of times where I've seen guys get in Edelman's face AFTER a motion. The difference is Edelman has a solution. He's consistently fought power with footwork and smarts. If the DB is setting outside and planning to be aggressive post-motion he'll immediately release vertically downfield to the inside. Part of what makes Edelman so dangerous is his split-second decision making to exploit coverages. Comparing his game to Isabella's is frankly a joke IMO. [Reply]
