FireChans Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Who are your big winners and even bigger losers after round 1? not including the Bills. Winners: 1. Bears Caleb and Rome was the best they could hope for. 2. Jets This sucks but trading back, getting some more picks and a high value OT prospect for Rodgers is the smart, but not sexy move. 3. Vikings Depending on you felt about McCarthy, the Vikings had a good night. Active around the board, and used their capital to get their two biggest needs. Reminded me of the Bills in 18. Now, for the actual important part. The LOSERS. Losers: 1. Falcons I slept on this thinking it was the worst move of the draft thus far and I woke up thinking I was being generous. Alienating the QB you just gave 2 fully GTD years to make a deep playoff run so you can have a 9 year senior ride the pine for 2 years is absurd. Now, to be fair, if 3 years from now, Penix is a franchise QB no one will care, so I give them some fraction of credit there. But the whole reason you throw stacks at a Kirk Cousins is because you believe the rest of the roster is close to contention. Falcons are just unserious. 2. Raiders oh boy. To spend multiple high picks on the TE position two years in a row when you don’t have a QB on the roster is certainly a strategy. They saw the Bills extend Dawson Knox to big money to ride the pine and block on goal line and said “hold my beer.” 3. Broncos They drafted Bo Nix.

Sweats Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Am i the only one thinking that NE may have got the best value at QB last night?.......Maye has got a lot of upside and coachable skills. I wanted him to go anywhere, but the AFCEast. The rest of the QB's taken off the board last night don't concern me, however, if Maye manages to put it all together (maybe not this year cause he won't have much of a team around him, so a couple of years on the bench might do him some good while they build a complimentary roster).........i don't know, i don't like this pick one bit. And anyone who wants to make the Mac Jones 2.0 comparison is wrong......this guy has got loads more talent than Mac and Cheese. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smward8 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 You forgot Cincinnati - losers. The announcers were pretty dumb founded when they picked an OT with just 8 starts in college. They decided he must be a project - with a first round pick. Doesn't get much worse than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweats Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I've got 2 questionable ones..... * Miami picking Chop......now, i have no problem with this pick, however, i was sure he would have been one of the guys to fall into the 2nd round as he is a little raw and a bit of a project, albeit with coachable skills, i just had a feeling he would drop * Atlanta......nothing more needs to be said here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Just now, FireChans said: I like JJ over Bo Both are day two QB's IMO. What is weird about this draft and maybe it is a new trend, it's like teams don't want to take QB's in rounds 2 or 3 anymore. Will there be a single QB selected today? GM's either want to be all in on a QB by committing to them in round 1 or take them on day 3 to set the expectations very low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Of course the real answer is that no one knows this early. But that's no fun, so... My winners were Detroit (I think Arnold was a great value where they got him), Philly (again, great value), and KC ("you should call the Bills as a prank just to say if they'll willingly give us the fastest man in combine history"). My losers were Atlanta (no explanation needed), the Panthers (I don't think we were picking Legette, so I'm not sure why they felt compelled to trade up with us). I would have Minny as a loser, because of the way they backed themselves into a corner on QB, and then had to trade a haul just to move up one spot because they had no other choice...but...they somewhat redeemed themselves with the Dallas Turner value pick...so I guess they're "half and half" winner/losers. Biggest losers: Bills fans. Waiting all night to pick 28, then trading to the arch rival Chiefs, then trading out of the 1st round completely. Good lord. RIP our Thursday night.

It’s still an irrelevant low impact position. He basically needs to be a HoFer to justify the pick based on their roster, and he won’t be a HoFer without someone to throw him the ball.

You do realize Worthy is not Tyreek Hill... He's a lot closer to our own kolby listenbee lmao better but my point stands The dude is a track athlete not a natural football player... You can get away with that in college... Everybody in the NFL is big strong and fast He's 163 lb soaking wet and our own whipping boy Elam will have no problem clamping him You heard it here first Elam will be able to take him out of games easily because he's a one-trick pony and Elam plays that trick well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely a loss of some sort of draft capital, meaning even fewer chances to draft a high impact guy to complete their roster next year. Absolutely insane to me given what they are paying Cousins and what they stand to lose by tampering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
