That doesn't make sense because it suggests the Jets actually did something right

Why...because they couldn't find a team dumb enough to trade a premium football player for the 28th pick in the draft?

Obviously you didn't get it

I am watching the ABC telecast with the college gameday crew and they did not tip it. I was definitely shocked.

Good to know, I'll switch. Thanks. 

[No_Matter_What]

Not a single defensive player in top 10.

 

Wow

Jet's probably called and said "we have an offer for a team who wants a QB, match it or we trade" and the Vikes panicked to make sure they got their guy

Rodgers would not abide such an affront to his reign.

Glad the Bills won't be forcing their way up now. Maybe they trade up a couple picks, but no crazy splash to the top 10.

 

Bears are going to be scary though. 2024 version of the Texans.

Expand  

Scary? Things are looking up but easy on the hyperbole, it is Chicago. Playing in the sorry NFC does help though

Must of beat out another team that would have jumped them?

Or the Jets lied and said they were entertaining offers.

The chances of us trading for 

 

JJ/Metcalf/Aiyuk have slightly increased

Didn’t Cousins just sign a 4 year deal? Why would would the Falcons waste a top 10 pick on a developmental QB?

 

It’s kind of like taking a receiving TE with a top 10 pick and then barely using him.

Expand  

Yeah I’m confused with this pick as well.  Next year they might not have a #1 depending on what happens with the tampering allegation.

Same.  i am watching on a military installation on AFN so i dont have any other option and they all seemed genuinely surprised by the pick

[FireChans]

Why the ***** did the Falcons take Penix?  
 

Wild.

I've never understood trading up one spot

Expand  

Usually it is because another team is also bidding for that pick and you think they will take your guy.  It is a defensive move to block anothetr team from taking who you want.  I think?

The Jets win that trade with the Vikings. They must have threatened a deal with someone else unless the Vikings overpaid.

Expand  

They didn't get a bunch for it but guess something better than nothing. I'm still wondering what Jets do, I know Bowers been a favorite but do they trust their old OTs protecting their old OT?

Such a boring draft so far like no excitement 

Expand  

It's pretty much always like this; I'm keeping most of my attention on the Panthers/Lightning game, but it's easier to read a list of picks tomorrow with your breakfast. 

 

The draft always promises way more interest that it actually provides.

they are playing chicken with another team that wants the same player.  Vikings moved up 1 to be sure they got who they wanted vs another team getting them.  It's not a 1 to 1 trade.  It's a 1  vs 30 trade.

[Andy1]

Will any defensive players get picked in Round 1?

[sven233]

Well, at this point, I am hoping that the Bills are going to go with my second option in working to trade up from 60 back into the lower 30s and double dip.  Give me Legette and one of the other guys rated in the same area - Mitchell, Worthy, McConkey, etc. While Odunze would have been nice, I truly think Legette could be a very similar player in the long run.  The AJ Brown comparisons for him are real and I now want him.
