2018 NFL Draft Talk Thread

[OhioState001]

A partial pec tear is completely different than a player with both complete ACL and LCL tears. And that "meaningless" bowl game cost Jaylon Smith 15 million dollars.

And whose to say he would have stepped wrong when running the 40 and tearing his ACL? It was a fluke that can happen during a game or during training, or walking down the sidewalk.

Watching this first round play out, man, this was a very "meh" talent pool.

Not a good Skill Position draft by any means, but it's a solid draft for picking up O-Line and defensive players.

Good OL draft, not sure about defense. Outside of Chubb and maybe Smith, the lb from Georgia, i don't see many slam dunks. Might be a lot of "solid" players, but not seeing many "stars."

I'm still fucking shocked "Hacksaw" Baker Manziel was taken with the #1 overall pick.

During a game, yes. (Hence, the reason he skipped it). Having worked with multiple occupational therapists, that type of fluke is likely to happen to a 50 year old person in a sedentary lifestyle. Not a 20 year old athlete.

Agreed. Statistically speaking, yeah some of these guys are going to end up being stars, but the pre-draft evaluations and seeing some of these names, the margins seem so small that anyone vehemently claiming "future superstar" is just hoping.

Little shocked about Lamar Jackson. Kid is electric.

Patriots at 31?

Also, has there ever been a freak injury at the Combine involving a potential top 10 draft pick? None come to mind. Actually getting injured in a REAL game is 1000% more likely to happen than that scenario, IMO.

Calvin Ridley and Julio Jones (for now) in ATL? Wow.

Heard Julio Jones isn't too happy with Falcons FO right now, but for the time being, that's one hell of a tandem at WR.

 

[OHSportsFan]

And there's the moment of the draft.

What really matters.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Basically, no one is buying much 1st round talent this year

Tears running down my face watching shazier walk on that stage. God bless you Ryan!

Oh god. AFC North bound. Ravens at 32.

Happy for him but now I gotta hate him.

Wow, Raiders picking up Martavis Bryant for a 3rd Rounder. Hell of a deal, IMO.

Sure, if he can lay off the weed and stop being a problem in the locker room. Easier said than done, though.
