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.

Last year was an offensive lineman smoking dope in a gas mask. This year it's Josh Allen and a 6 yr old tweet from his high school days.
Social media is a biatch... someone should have advised him better about locking all that up. In the long run, it's not a big deal, but it's an image business and he already has question marks about his position as a top 10 pick. [Reply]
I’d probably love him if he were a late 1st/2nd, but his douche tendencies along with his height, and playing with a lot of talent are too concerning to take him that early IMO. [Reply]

They really might not be that far away man. It kinda depends on their coaching staff and said QB who is drafted.
They have some really solid weapons by most standards and I figure they’ll add another RB in round 2. A pass rush with Garrett and Chubb could be deadly. [Reply]

Agreed, I think CLE has made some solid moves since the end of last season and they're set up with plenty of draft picks to solidy a number of key spots. Question is... are they cursed or can new leadership truly make the difference? [Reply]
