2020 NFL Draft/Offseason thread

[betarhoalphadelta]

Having lives in EST, CST and PST, I founds CST optimal for sports watching when I was in college, as I was more a late-night person. PST seems like the ideal in adulthood, when most everything is done by 10. I suppose it would be harder if you cared about morning news, since you're a little late to that game. EST is mostly crappy unless you cherish a long morning before certain sports.

I'm a MAN! I'm 40!

(Well, 41...)

But actually I really like the west coast for sports. A lot of the Big Ten games, especially when you're a fan of a "lesser" team like Purdue, start at 9 AM out here. If I don't want to devote the entire day to football, I can be done with the games I care about by 12:30ish...

Then the high-end prime time game shows up at 5 PM. I'm likely getting settled down and cooking dinner by about that time, so I can watch that game and have it done well before bedtime. 

I used to burn the candle at both ends, but the way it works out for me these days is that it's easier to get up with the sun than to go to bed late.

I remember being in Hawaii for an important UGA game at 3:30 AM.  I tuned in for the last 5 minutes, I just couldn't quite get it that the game started at 9:30.

I tend to burn it at both ends because I'm a junkie, and man, I would like all games to be done by 11:30 rather than 2:30.

So, Burrow is a lock for #1?  Any surprises in the top ten?

[FearlessF]

there will be surprises

[MaximumSam]

oh god Trey Wingo's voice is nails on chalkboard terrible to me but I don't get the NFL network

[MrNubbz]

They said Todd McShay is battling Corona

[Mdot21]

oh god Trey Wingo's voice is nails on chalkboard terrible to me but I don't get the NFL network

I can’t stand him either. 

Does anyone else find it kinda funny how the NFL draft consistently gets better tv ratings than the NBA or MLB PLAYOFF games but those dudes make wayyyyy more money on average.

[MrNubbz]

The Draft is fan inclusive and for a day or two everyone's an expert.Not only that many fans are better at spotting talent than the fumbles in the front office.Oh and I hate,HATE Roger Goodell he's what's wrong with our priorities,IMO

[FearlessF]

like Zac Taylor

Before settling in for round one, I want to get this off my chest:

Tua is overrated and should NOT be drafted as a franchiser - Tua's injury history is concerning and nobody knows how effective he is behind an OL who can't keep his jersey clean or throwing to receivers who aren't significantly better against the secondary.

This is a lazy hot take from someone that clearly hasn’t watched the guy play the game. 

Tua is LEGIT AF.

[OrangeAfroMan]

Were LSU's OL and WRs any worse than Bama's?  For Tua, it's either I'll risk the injury potential or I won't.

Speaking of sports out west.....soon after moving to AZ, discovering restaurants and bars opened at 9am because that's when sports started was glorious.
