"Whether you opt for Cincinnati or just Cinnati, the Bengals' intention is clear. They need to move forward, to make progress. And to accomplish that, the football wisdom of the 16th century says that you need a running back.
"The Cincinnati Bengals select Jonathan Brooks, RB, Texas."
"And now onto double naming again. We'll start with the BB, of BB gun fame. The BB is named based on the size of the bearing. The spherical projectile was originally a piece of lead shot from a shotgun, and different sizes of shot were available. The inventor of the BB gun, William F. Markham, decided to use 0.180-inch lead shotgun birdshot as ammo for his new firearm. In the nomenclature of the time, this was known as a BB shot size, as opposed to the next larger and smaller sizes, which were known as sizes B and BBB. With a minor decision change, we could have ended up firing B guns or BBB guns. The original BBs were made of lead, which eventually transitioned to steel.
"What you see below is not Ganymede or Callisto, but rather a BB, as spherical as the planets that cross our night sky."
The Bengals are hoping that Brooks comes back strong from his knee injury. Having traded away Joe Mixon, we have a pretty unproven running back room, so it felt necessary to take a highly rated prospect early. (Zack Moss is here now as a veteran presence, but we can use more firepower.) [Reply]
After having their preferred center snatched at #45, LB at #50, and remaining WRs with round 2 grades in between… the Steelers continue to follow their proven template investing in defensive BPA (which also happens to be at a moderate position of need).
The Pittsburgh Steelers select Tyler Nubin, S, Minnesota
Nubin gives the Steelers a long term answer alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick. [Reply]
*I have had this queued up for hours ready to rock hoping my guy was still there*
Les sneed wipes his tears with the 30+ million dollars saved from legendary Aaron Donald retiring.
As a tear rolls down his eye, he whispers into the conference call phone “fuck them picks”.
A voice answers authoritatively, “NO, you have to make a pick here! We cant trade for any more fucking thirty year olds!”
“Fine, make the call” sneed replies, as his tear drops onto an oak desk of the dimly lit war room.
A candle with the number 99 embossed on it lights up the table under the tv with live draft coverage on NFL network. Some asshole that the current rams front office doesnt know, because he played for the rams when they were in St. Louis approaches the podium.
“With the 52th pick in the 2023, 4, 2024 NFL draft, the saint, er, Los angeles Rams select Ruke Orhorhoro, DT Clemson.”
The Eagles have hemmed and hawed a while on this pick because there is a 1st round pick sitting on the board but also a couple of other guys that would make a boatload of sense here... Despite some other more pressing needs given our 1st round pick, we're going to take the top talent and load our secondary for the future. This was my pick B that I sent to staylor at pick 22.
The Philadelphia Eagles select Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia [Reply]
Going to be honest here... if the Eagles actually get Nate Wiggins, Kamari Lassiter, and Edgerrin Cooper, I'm going to be really, really fucking pissed. That's 3 guys that can start day 1 and address their biggest holes. FML. [Reply]
