I thought it was our weakest day of the Draft because we veered away from our 'high character, exceptional athlete for the position' formula, but I didn't hate it. Some very flawed prospects, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if they all made the roster. I'm baffled that Hubbard and Nixon fell that far - one guy ran for 2k yards in the Big 12 and the other was the Big 10 DPOTY AND they're both exceptional athletes so it's not just College smoke and mirrors. Really happy with those two picks.

Yes and no RE: Grier. Personally I don't think he's any less talented than a Trask / Mond et al, but Rhule is very careful not to exclude players when he's throwing around platitudes. With regards to Darnold, whilst I think he was Plan C, Plan A and B were shots at established, upper echelon NFL starters. I've no doubt they looked at the tape in NY and thought "they've done this kid dirty, he can play". The Jets have realised that too because they've immediately invested a boatload of Draft resources into help for Wilson. That said, Darnold will have a short leash. He'll be given every opportunity he didn't have in NY (we're building a team around him now), but as we saw with Bridgewater - it's perform or get out of the way.

Honestly the relief in Tepper's voice during that phone call to Christensen tells me that he was literally the last OT on our Big Board. They absolutely didn't expect that run on OTs to happen when they traded down from #39.

We'd have ended up higher, but we tanked our score in the final two rounds.

I don't think it's a coincidence that our staff moved him to C in the Senior Bowl. That's where he'll play at the next level.

OLine.

I honestly think it's a crapshoot after Sewell / Slater / Darrisaw. I saw Cosmi get ragdolled a lot on the cut-ups I watched. Eichenberg was solid. So was Christensen. It's all about the situation you put them in now.

He turned up to the Senior Bowl at 376lbs. He has to lose another 20lbs for mine.

No! This is not how you operate on a message board. You double down and say that Chinn 'basically played LB all year'.

Whelp, the Bucs have a better K than we do now too.

I hate it when people use pets to pretend they have a personality.

Sign Jose Borregales or we riot.

Next year you'll know to go off the Rhule Against Slowness scale for the first 5 rounds - then just throw poo at a wall for the rest of your picks.

I mean, I guess? Can't understand rolling into the season with Slye as your only option at K though. That seems like a bad idea.

I don't think anyone that played QB last year is still available.

Jose Borregales, but that's not how we roll.

Holder.

Well that's Jansen's weekend ruined.

Limited, but tough, kid. This is how teams value the later rounds - the Colts just want to get a closer look at him because he plays a position of extreme value and has some moxie. He probably won't make it through TC.

Having been around a Premier League team when I was younger, it's only up to him in the sense that he needs to follow a plan. The team will manage his diet (the club chef used to cook a meal for the players at lunch and send them home with a cooked evening meal) - if he chooses to eat additional food then that's on him.

I love this part of the Draft btw - just Day 3 entirely. That's when you know who the die hard fans are.

Should draft more players from darling programmes, then they'll talk about us.

Last three picks played in the Senior Bowl. But honestly it's like someone else is drafting in the 6th round. Before that it was 'high character guys with impressive athletic profiles'. Now it seems we're trying to justify having coached at the Senior Bowl? I'm not going to die on a hill over it - just an observation.

Username checks out.

I've lost the golden thread this round. Please enlighten me.
