2018 NFL Draft Day 1 Game Thread WITH SPOILERS

[luckiestman]

Once a Jet . . .

It was a compliment

 

[luckiestman]

Indy should take the G right? Have to protect Luck

 

[Rough Carrigan]

It was a compliment

It's so hard to tell with Jets

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Indy...here comes a wideout lol

 

[bsj]

Quenton Nelson Colts

 

[koufax32]

It’s no fun when the Patriots’ rivals are smart.

 

[ehaz]

They needed this to salvage what's left of Luck's career

 

[mauf]

Indy should take the G right? Have to protect Luck

You can argue whether any G is worth the 6th pick, especially when there are presumably ample opportunities to trade down, but Nelson is the consensus BAP there.

Got to think the Bucs trade down here.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Quenton Nelson Colts

exactly what they should have done

so, where's all those trades they teased?

 

[RedOctober3829]

Bills have traded up to #7. Thought they might.

 

[bsj]

Bills trading up to 7

 

[bsj]

Its josh

 

[mauf]

Allen per Twitter.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Everyone has a fancy new QB except for us!

 

[luckiestman]

Will Rosen live in BUF or charter flights from the city? Maybe live in Toronto?

 

[Remagellan]

Will every team in the AFC East take a QB in the first round?

 

[Kliq]

Knowing very little about the draft; why is Mayfield such a surprise pick? I find the Manziel criticisms kind of lazy; because he’s a short QB that runs around a lot? Whatever character issues he might have, they seem to pale in comparison to Manziel’s; and Mayfield isn’t just a running QB; his passing numbers in college were phenomenal.

 

[Gash Prex]

I don’t think any of these QBs are all that great so good luck with that Bills and Jets - I think Allen will be horrible and Darnold will be average

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Everyone has a fancy new QB except for us!

Eh I’d rather them take Hughes and Evans some how.

 

[snowmanny]

I wonder if Jets could have got Darnold at 6

I agree he was the best player in college last year and the league has shown that shorter QBs who can move around a little are more than viable (I'm looking at you Russell) I think he'll be an excellent pro. Now I don't know about letting Chubb slide...

 

[Rough Carrigan]

Deion Sanders should write a dissertation on synthetic enthusiasm.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Wow great haul for Tampa

 

[E5 Yaz]

Trade with the Bears to get Rosen

 

[Pxer]

Give us a deal, John Lynch.

 

[mauf]

Wow great haul for Tampa

Really? I’m surprised they couldn’t do better than two mid-2nd rounders with multiple suitors. Unless fewer teams than expected are looking to trade up.

 

[bsj]

McClinchey is a good pick but feels a bit early

 

[mauf]

McClinchey is a good pick but feels a bit early

Yup. Letting need trump BAP with a top-10 pick.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Knowing very little about the draft; why is Mayfield such a surprise pick? I find the Manziel criticisms kind of lazy; because he’s a short QB that runs around a lot? Whatever character issues he might have, they seem to pale in comparison to Manziel’s; and Mayfield isn’t just a running QB; his passing numbers in college were phenomenal.

Mike Mayock had him at #22 and ranked the #4 QB available. Having him go at #1 overall is unexpected. Cleveland potentially could have moved down 2X and still gotten the same 2 players they drafted.

 

[bsj]

Rosen to Cardinals?

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Cardinals get Rosen I think

 

[ehaz]

Cardinals getting Rosen

 

[heavyde050]

McClinchey is a good pick but feels a bit early

Yup. It seems really early, but he can learn behind Staley.

 

[ehaz]

This is good news for the Lamar fans...

 

[soxhop411]

Rosen gone.

 

[mauf]

Really? I’m surprised they couldn’t do better than two mid-2nd rounders with multiple suitors. Unless fewer teams than expected are looking to trade up.

I stand corrected — Cards only gave up a 3rd and 5th to move up from 15 to 10.

 

[bsj]

Ive been staring at "Pick is in" for 5 minutes while these guys yap. This is why having spoilers is a no brainer

 

[ehaz]

Harold Landry was mocked to SF a ton, he may drop too.

 

[RedOctober3829]

So many difference makers on defense still available.

 

[mauf]

Pats probably could’ve had Rosen for #31 plus next year’s 2nd rounder.

 

[mauf]

No surprise Aikman loves Rosen.

 

[ehaz]

Minkah

 

[Rough Carrigan]

The Dolphins drafted that girl Jeter dated?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Pats probably could’ve had Rosen for #31 plus next year’s 2nd rounder.

No way is 31 and a future 60ish better than 15, mid third and a fifth. The 23rd might have, though.

 

[bsj]

Brady pick

 

[mauf]

Fitzpatrick at 11. Consensus BAP.

 

[mauf]

No way is 31 and a future 60ish better than 15, mid third and a fifth. The 23rd might have, though.

Maybe not, considering the one-year delay. I probably underestimated the gap between 15 and 31 in my mental math.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Pats need to trade up to somewhere up in this range. So many good defensive players still on the board.

 

[Remagellan]

No surprise Aikman loves Rosen.

the guy might be a risk because of his injury history, but his demeanor reminds me of Aaron Rodgers.

 

[bsj]

Vita Vea is the pick to Bucs
