Event 2018 NFL Draft...Thursday 8 PM;

Just to add.......who the fuck is interested in the size of a guy’s biceps and neck size!!!
My god.....can they be anymore lost?

I am, but that's about the only size of a man's anything I want to know about.

I idolized Jimmy Brown when I was a kid, and literally ran into him roller skating on Venice Beach in the early 70s. Muscle Beach is part of Venice Beach by the way. I was skating not watching where I was going and head-butted Jimmy in the chest, which knocked me on my ass and Brown did not even Flinch or move, other than to lend a hand to help me up.

Then there's Bo the redefined ultimate athlete...

HOLY FUCKIN’ SHIT! The new Big Blue motto! LOL

Me too cage. Now get ready to welcome guard Will Hernandez with pick number 34. The first Hog Molly in the fold.

Mel, who the fuck do you know in the Giants’ draft room? Great pick!
Long overdue. Giants need LBs and of more importance, depth talent.

Is it just me or did Nick Chubb not look to happy to be on his way to Cleveland???

tho' his pocket book's happy-

 

[yankeesince59]

...well, I'm 0 for 3 so far.

 

[cagedlion]

What’s with all this mouth trashing?Do you think some teams have an identity
crisis? Sure sounds to me.

Carr throwing to Martavis Bryant and Amari Cooper and Jordy Nelson...wow, that could be the most dangerous receiving trio in the NFL...all in all, smart moves by Jon Gruden and Reggie McKenzie.

I do not believe the Raiders are going to even miss Crabtree now... I was scratching my own head this morning. Looks like Gruden's got a plan, master strategist at work. The NFL sucked last year and I watched little of it, opting for NCAA FB...

With Chucky in the driver's seat my interest is peaked, again...

Gruden's clearly back, working on both Lines. Day 2- 2 OT's Miller & B. Parker- NC A&T

PJ Hall DT-(Sam Houston St)
DE-(LSU) Arden Key.

Both Parker and Hall played in small school Div-1 schools.
Parker Mid-Eastern Althletic Conf Offensive Lineman of the Year. Gruden liked what he saw in Parker in the Sr Bowl.
PJ Hall SHSt, a non-invitee to the Combine, Southland Conf.
Hall set the FCS record with 86.5 career tackles for loss, besting the former record of 80 held by fellow Raider James Cowser.

Arden Key DE-LSU, interesting lack of info/news on his "off the field issues", other than coming in overweight after a good 016 season. Then taking a leave for personal reasons, supposedly marijuana program he volunteered for? Played in 8 games in 017 due to prior off season shoulder and knee surgeries.

Key had 12 sacks in 016 at LSU. Imo the toughest Conference in NCAA over the last 2 decades, imho....

these guys according to Gruden are Diamonds in the Rough.
if there's but one guy in t/NFL whose judgement/analysis I believe in, its Jon Gruden...

I think the Ravens did well by addressing their needs for a catching tight end (Hurst) and a future QB. The Lamar Jackson (Louisville,2016 Heisman winner) pick is AOK with me. He reminds me of Russell Wilson. I hope the coaches give him plays to exploit teams with his running speed and field vision, at least in the red zone. On the other hand, we had been known as "throw away" the QB before the final team is set. We had sucked in red zone scoring except for 2012 and 2014. Thank God for Tucker.
FA:I can't believe we picked up RG3 for a backup QB.

...not a big fan of Mayfield either.

The Jets are stuck in the same division with the Patriots. Those guys always win the division and home field. It's tough for a Jets fan!.

...I think Lamar Jackson may have been the best QB in the draft.

14++ years have passed, and Uncle Rico (the greatest undrafted QB in t/history of t/NFL) remains undrafted still....
