He will say he nailed it.

He said PICKS 2-10, implying multiple.  Technicality.

[RD 1, Pick 9: DT Ed Oliver, University of Houston]

I was hoping we could have gone to Denver with "Hey, give us something or we'll trade our pick to someone wanting Haskins", otherwise outstanding.  Thank you Oakland!

[Giants Daniel Jones per source]

Wow such useful breaking news whole seconds before the puck is made.  I'm sure that served a lot other than annoying watching it live being ruined for then.

Man someone is going to pay to get up for Haskins.

[Big Trade for picks 2-10 incoming per Schrager]

2 and 7 are both prime numbers, so there's that.

Another sad bar shown with quiet patrons just sitting at the bar.  Sorry, if the place isn't packed shoulder to shoulder that's no football bar worth putting a freaking draft camera in.

I don't have a joke for 6.  He just looks dumb now.

Could see a trade here with TB. Josh  Allen

I will accept there is a God if this happens.

Probably around 12

I'll take the over.

2 kinda looks like 5 upside down.

What's the over/under on threads closed for people not following simple rules?

[NFL Draft - Day 1 (put your general pick commentary here)]

Lol they put a camera in that pathetic LV bar?

[Big Trade for picks 2-10 incoming per Schrager]

Wow, what a prophet, predicting trades in the first round.

Nick Bosa sounds like he has some sort of...developmental problem.

LaConfora said it so it definitely isn’t happening and why would the Jets do this unless they were getting a massive return?

Why would WE do this unless we were getting a good deal?  If the Jets want to trade down so badly, let them cut us a deal on it.

 

Works both ways.

its very suspicious that the news is let out the  day oof the draft.. Yes there will be legal issues if it was botched...

I wouldn't go so far as to call it suspicious.  Maybe they just wanted that positive news fresh on GMs' minds for the draft, or they only just found out themselves.  Suspicious implies some nefarious reason for it, and I'm not really seeing a reason to see it that way.

 

Suspicious would be hacked clips of a player smoking a bong being released hours before the draft.

We take TE Fant over Hockenson with number 9. Jets draft Ed Oliver, Dolphins get Montez Sweat, Pats get Hockensen after we take Fant.

Just saw someone on NFL.com mock Fant to us at 9...ugh.  Granted they had Hock go at 8 but I'd want a DEEP trade down first if we grab Fant.

yeah if team doctors haven't verified this then its all agent speak IMO

Clarifying a potentially serious heart condition is a hell of a lot different than leaking something like "lots of teams are looking to trade up for X player".  There's legal ramifications lying about or botching something like this.

 

Teams also don't want to tip their hands before the draft so will generally stay quiet about these things.

team moving up pays a premium. 23 to 9 will cost them both 2nd rnd picks straight up, 1470 to get 1350. 9% premium.

If the team moving up ALWAYS pays a premium, then it's not really a premium?  Isn't that the new normal and the calculation should be adjusted as such?

 

It's like when a call centre is permanently "experiencing higher than normal call volumes".

In Shreveport the bar isn’t particularly high.

[Rashan Gary has torn labrum and will need surgery at some point]

Maybe he figured the health care would be better with an NFL team backing it.  I've heard lots of horror stories about how injured players are treated (or not treated, specifically) in the NCAA.

[What are your plans for watching the draft?]

I wouldn't mind finding a party for it, if anyone knows of a bar or anything hosting near the Canadian borders.

Oof, Hock it is then.

Meh, the Bills not showing up for the playoff game doesn’t help your righteous cause there...

"Righteous cause"?  It's a basic statistical fact.  Week 17 games are no more important than week 1.  Asserting an objective truth is kind of the exact opposite of a righteous cause...

 

But please, do tell me how a 9-7 one year is more "earned" than any other year with an identical record.  Did we benefit from teams forfeiting games just to help get us in?  Was there a "just let the Bills in already" special exception tie-breaker?  Educate me.  I could maybe buy the argument if we got like multiple games in a row at the end against teams resting starters in some fluke of scheduling, but no.
