yesh, you could tell they had an entire days worth of material qued up for ratings once Shaqueem Griffin got drafted. 

Yeah, it's ridiculous. I get that it's a great story and all, but it's a little disrespectful to these other dozens of guys who are getting drafted in the meantime without a word said about them.

Great story and good for him but I'm sick of Shaqueem at this point.

Yep...I have seen his story video clip 3-4 tines so far.

Day 3 of the draft is kinda wacky.  The NFL has all kinds of people announcing picks, etc.  Mayock was aggrevated last year because a chimpanzee was making picks or something.  He thought the guys getting drafted deserved more respect.

But, it's all about keeping an audience and most of the country has no clue after the first round so they do all kinds of stuff to keep the people watching.  Olympics did the same

and whats even stranger is that St. Brown is not your typical big WR. Very cut and in great shape, rather fast for his size, and incredibly athletic specimen. 

 

a few months ago I posted Matt Miller's big board...St. Brown was way low, and a couple of posters here who wanted us to consider him in the first said they were ignoring his opinion on everything because of it.

The only scout I follow on twitter is Miller.  He's good, he works hard, and he has the contacts.  I had been looking at ESB too, because of measurables.  I remember Miller said real NFL scouts had told him that ESB was not a top target because of something like didn't like practice, bad attitude, something of that nature.

A couple of mature posters here said "we'll see eventually."

We are seeing right now.

 

Everyone has an opinion.  Find someone you can trust.  I trust Matt Miller.

EQ finally off the board.

Loved Charles Davis telling Hue Jackson "You're not afraid to have convictions about players."

That's a switch from his previous stint with the Bengals. They weren't afraid to have players with convictions

Gotta give it up to NE. In a league where mediocre WRs are getting insane contracts, they continue to go after the types of WRs that get type-casted by the rest of the league and build an offense that tailors to these types of WRs. Basically undersized, quick guys who can get open quickly on short to intermediate routes.

That's very interesting.  I think I'm going to have to give him a follow on twitter.  It's really interesting because I thought he looked really good in space, but if he's got a bad attitude and poor practice habits...  Yeah, the NFL doesn't have time for that.

With no new rb, it looks like cmc will get a ton of touches

You monster. Jk, it's a cool sorry but they are beating it to death.

This has to go down as one of the worst drafts the panthers have had. Some of these picks man lol 

[Black&BlueBubba]

I don’t have a problem with CMC or CAP getting a ton of volume.  But If we go into the season with fozzy im gonna freak.
