Maybe the Colts are playing 3-D chess and simply won't call any slant routes.........

That Colts front office had a "Irsay made this pick" vibe.
Lulz @ the Colts

So far, if I'm listening right, Stroud has armor from God that he should probably share with the tiny, puny Bryce Young.
Rent it or sell it?
I think Stroud is going to be a better NFL QB than Young will. Not sure a 5'10, 195 pound guy will last in the NFL playing QB. Yeah they don't get hit like they used to- but they still take unholy punishment. Especially rookies and non-star QBs. Brady/Rodgers guys like that- now Mahomes- have different set of rules than the other QBs. Can't even sneeze on those guys without getting PIs/fouls. Young ain't gonna have that. At least not until he establishes himself as a star.

Texans trade up to take Will Anderson. Not sure I like that. Think they gave up way too much to move up and take an edge rusher. That team needs A TON of help in the draft over the next few years- they shouldn't be giving up picks like that. They aren't an edge rusher away to being an elite team. They are a bunch of players away.

I just realized, just now, that I knew Paris Johnson's dad. He played at Miami and we shared a dorm suite one summer semester. Hot damn now I feel old.

The hodge-podge of humanity they have in the fan sections near the stage are truly bizarre.

Flutie played on concrete in Canada and rarely got hurt as an old in the NFL. Russel Wilson is a joke now but in his prime despite all the sacks he was on the end of, defenders rarely got a free shot at him. 

He'll be 210-220lb by his 3rd year.

They keep on saying pencil him in for 10-12 sacks a year. That's a solid player, but you just spent the No.2 pick on Bud Dupree (who was avail in FA)

Lions front office celebrating like they had NO IDEA that the 32nd pick in the draft will fall to them at 13.

The Lions are having quite a draft... and that's not a compliment.  They should have picked literally anyone at 12 then Gibbs at 18.  Like what are they doing.

not a fan of this Lions first round of the draft. At all. Hopefully they make it up on the later rounds.

yeah I liked their 1st round. JSN is going to fit in nicely with Lockett and Metcalf. Witherspoon was the top CB on most boards and Pete Carroll is a DB guru. 

I think the Eagles won the night however. Jalen Carter might've been the best football player in the draft, red flags/issues aside. If he can't succeed there- he can't succeed anywhere. If that dude hits....holy hell. Then they got Nolan Smith at the end of the 1st. I probably wouldn't have taken him til the 2nd rd- but again....he's an OLB that ran 4.39 and had a 42" vertical - so yeah- insanely athletic. If he hits as well.....man. 

This is a team that was a c*nt hair away from winning a Super Bowl and has most of that team coming back and just locked up the QB. If just one of those dudes hits over the next 2-3 years- they'll be sitting pretty. If both hit- they'll have a disgusting defense.
