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!").
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. Pure knee jerk gold to reference in the future.

It is interesting seeing other teams draft picks and seeing what that will do to their roster.
Baltimore Ravens with all of the WRs - Rashad Bateman and Tylan Wallace, but also signed Sammy Watkins and they had Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin, Devin Duvernay, James Proche, and Jaylon Moore. They also currently have 6 TEs.
Las Vegas Raiders - Had Johnathan Abram and Jeff Heath, Re-signed Karl Joseph, and drafted Trevon Moehrig, Devine Diablo, and Tyree Gillespie. Diablo might be moved to LB.
Indianapolis Colts - Had Kemoko Turay, Ben Banogu, and Isaac Rochell. Signed Al-Quadin Muhammad. They also drafted Kwity Paye and Dayo Odeyingbo with their first two draft picks. Doubt that they re-sign Justin Houston.
Buffalo Bills - They doubled up on DE and OT in the draft.
They had Mario Addison, A.J. Epenesa, Mike Love, and Jerry Hughes and they drafted DE Gregory Rousseau, Miami, and DE Carlos Basham, Wake Forest with their first two picks.
Buffalo already had a good young OL and they signed Forrest Lamp and Bobby Hart and then drafted OT Spencer Brown, Northern Iowa and OT Tommy Doyle Miami (OH) [Reply]
I’m at the Other Place right now (Chiefs bar in Des Moines) so I will keep this brief.
I’m quite pleased with this draft. Like I said before, not a lot of sex appeal but this was all about solidifying the team. They got some anchor pieces early and some high upside chess pieces late.
Maybe not the home run people wanted but a solid triple and with this team’s current situation, they’re setup to score. [Reply]

Why have our best long-term LB prospect play the position that comes off the field in nickel?
He wouldn’t come off the field in nickel. Wilson played a ton of snaps at nickel buck and the Chiefs said in preseason last year that Gay would eventually do the same. [Reply]

We have a few of those in KC love that place great food.
I like our draft thought the first 2 picks were great. The DE is a developmental guy, not really high on that tight end, like the Cornell pick. [Reply]

You guys are nuts, Niemann isn't a starter, but he's a good piece of the puzzle for the minimum, and will still be when we have 3 starting LBer's. If you want to be mad, be mad at the front office, not Niemann, I don't get the hate for a kid that comes to work everyday and plays hard and is a good special teamer, it's the front office fault he's starting...
