Huh, people figured out the Levis thing? That's good, I suppose.

I watched about half of the show, I admired how they try and build it up into a thing, they do a pretty good job.  We're in a bit of a lull in sports now so it's good.  I did get bored, it was too repetitive for me.

I'm a bit curious to see how they employ Carter and Davis.  I guess they play a 4-3?

Yeah I follow Longhorns in the NFL at least a bit.  Though I'll never root for them when they're playing against my favorite NFL team.

Guess I'll be looking closer at the Falcons this coming year, glad to see Bijan Robinson go so high, he's a good ballcarrier, and a good person by all accounts.

I rarely watch the NFL, but if I did, I might pay more attention to the Eagles.  Maybe I should give it a try again.

I certainly like Robinson as a RB but personally would never take a RB that high.

I'd love to but I'm an IU fan. Trent Green was pretty good for a while.

It'll be interesting next year to see where Bowers goes (presuming he comes out).  TEs don't often go Day Uno.

Lions front office celebrating like they had NO IDEA that the 32nd pick in the draft will fall to them at 13.
Yeah, not a fan of either of their picks

There were some weird to me picks for sure.  Some of these teams (Lions) seem to have no apparent clue, but maybe it all turns out well.

I personally would focus on linemen if my team was lagging.

The Lions taking Gibbs showed me how much more reserved the "experts" are at picks from out of left field.  
5-6 years ago, they would have ripped the GM to pieces and literally been shouting about "VALUE," etc.  
.
Now, they just say "that's surprising" and go on about the show.

Lions reach again...taking TE Sam LaPorta from Iowa with the 34th pick overall- taking a guy with a high 2nd rd pick that they probably could've gotten in the 4th or 5th rd....

Brad Holmes crushed the draft last year. Thought that immediately, loved most of those picks. He's stinking up the joint so far this year.
