2018 NFL Draft

@QYFW for the win

 

@Tweener , not so much.

 

You don't think this year's QB crop is better?

 

Than Watson? No. But feel free to use this against me next year.

Having a few scotches and looking back is fun for an old man.

I’ll strategically leave my post out of it.

Also, I didn’t quote it properly, q was advocating for Watson.

 

Does deceptive speed mean white?

 

@Neutral Corner care to reconsider?

 

Uh oh @poindexter looks like Goff is cashing a California public sector pension.

 

Then there was this beauty.

 

They took a third-round value in the first round. It was a bad pick. Even if he becomes a decent player, it was a bad pick.

I know that last part sounds counter-intuitive, but it does matter where you think a guy would have gone. To put it in Steelers fan perspective, think of the 1974 draft, arguably the best by any team in NFL history. The Steelers drafted four Hall of Famers. The old story goes that Chuck Noll loved John Stallworth and wanted to take him in the first round. Of course, Noll was right about Stallworth because he ended up in the Hall of Fame. But the scouts knew the Steelers could get him later, so they convinced Noll they should take Lynn Swann in the first round. They ended up getting both and had a pair of Hall of Fame receivers the rest of the decade.

 

I don’t know, a third round value is in the eye of the beholder. There’s absolutely no guarantee he would have still been there in the third or even the second on the quick come around.

 

They always tell the stories about how a team was able to wait and get a top talent in a later round. Nobody seems so eager to talk about the times a team waited and the top talent was taken by somebody else.
