With the 7th pick the Carolina Panthers select Jeffrey Okudah, cornerback, THE Ohio State University. The Panthers have Okudah as the 3rd best player in this draft. He’s a long, athletic, rangy corner with All-Pro potential. After losing James Bradberry we have a need at the position. We didn’t expect him to be there but are thrilled that he was. We view him as a cornerstone to our rebuild moving forward. @Logic and the Arizona Cardinals are now on the clock

Oh wow!! That changes everything!! This draft is drunk.

Ruggs feels like a mover in this draft. I wouldn’t be shocked (at all) if he were the 1st WR off the board. It just doesn’t feel like the Giants will be that team.

Giants? I think Wirfs and Simmons are the names that we see the most

We really should just give him the highest ranked caucasian skill player and move on.

I’m fairly positive it wasn’t just weed (and I always defend the just weed guys). Gordon was/is an addict. He and Manziel were heading down a dangerous path but were much more dangerous to themselves. Smith has like a handful of DUIs and a domestic. He endangers others as well. That was my point.

Remember the thread where Shenault and Higgins were grouped with the top 3. It was something to the tune of “these 5 are universally regarded as the top 5.” Yeah, no!! It was ALWAYS 3 guys and then a lot of others. The Bills clearly wanted one of the 3 based on Beane’s interview today. He just thought that the price was too high especially with Diggs available. A home run for Beane. I disagree (and I like Brown). I think Okudah is the better player and I think that the drop off from Okudah to CB2 is greater than Brown to Kinlaw.

@Sherlock Holmes is on the phone trying to trade for Kupp or McCaffrey. His reasoning, “because you can’t have enough white skill players.”

ugh, so not a process guy ?

Greatest whiner is debatable. There have a bunch (including Brady). It’s tough to argue anyone else as the greatest ever though. He’s won 6 Super Bowls and played in 3 others. I hate the guy but he’s clearly in a class by himself.

He wasn’t out of the league for 5 years at the time.

I didn’t see a separate thread on this and felt like circumstances warranted it. I really thought that it was an April Fool’s joke. He hasn’t played since the 2015 season!! Obviously he was a great talent but struggled mightily with addiction. This one is so interesting to me. Smith’s issues are well beyond that of Josh Gordon IMO. Gordon was a danger to himself. Smith was a danger to everyone. I hope that he stays clean and gets his life back on track. I’m just shocked that someone would take a shot on ANYONE this far removed from their last game, let alone someone with Smith’s checkered past.

They lost Collins, Harmon and Shelton too. The front 7 should be significantly worse than last year. Their defense should still be okay but doubt that they are top 5. Your bold prediction is that Trevor Lawrence will never be the greatest player of all-time? Way to go out on a limb there.

I’d like the 49ers because I think they are really interesting in this draft but you can assign me whoever if they are taken I guess Jacksonville and Carolina would be next. I find them pretty interesting in this draft as well.

Oh I agree for sure, that’s the only reason I think that they picked up the phone though. He’s less than 5% to make the team imo.

Feels like a long shot but could push Foster as the speed guy. I expect the Bills to keep 7 receivers (including Roberts).

I like the Colts, Rams and Cardinals at those numbers. I don’t hate KC at +650 either

Remind me when we get closer and I will send you a link....my site seems to have a lot of options but I’m getting an error message

Different draft odds

Oh, there are a lot of ways to bet the draft. You can do o/u on where specific players will be taken. You can bet the number of trades. You can bet the o/u on picks at a position in a round (ie o/u 4.5 1st round QBs). There are lines everywhere for the draft.

That’s kind of an interesting thought. Marty really ends up being the confident, level-headed mastermind. He doesn’t use emotion to direct his business decisions in anyway. Everything that he does is well thought-out and reasoned. Wendy has that desire to be the best but she can get caught up in her perception. The horse farm is a good example of this.

I almost used Get a Life but didn’t think anyone would know it. I used to love that show!! I even bought the DVDs ???

PFF LOVES Diggs I think. I’m not a PFF guy but think that he’s one of their little childish crushes.
