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'm glad BV got his guys, but fans that want more darts aren't fools
The counter to that is the draft class is changing. Supposedly not as many quality underclassmen declaring because of money in CFL. Thinner talent pool and very diluted late rounds. [Reply]

To fill needs it has been great.
Look at Veach's history - that's how I'm grading him.
Gotcha. I'm well aware that this is an on paper grade, but it's a fantastic draft on paper. They filled just about every need with guys that are great fits and they got good value every time. [Reply]

If all the Ravens are doing is "grabbing guys off internet boards" then a lot more teams should be copying that strategy as they have consistently assembled one of the better AFC rosters year after year. [Reply]

I think Veach is a strong B+ or weak A-
I think the Packers are one of the best drafting teams and the Ravens and Steelers always seem to find a defensive nugget on rounds 4-7.
The Raiders are probably the worst.
Every draft has 1 polarizing player in it. If Kingsley is a good LT and the rest of them fail it would still be a passing grade draft bc LT is so hard to find for a team that never picks early. [Reply]

You truly deserve the Ravens as opposed to the Chiefs. [Reply]
