Pittsburgh fans are going to love Darnell Washington, and he's a perfect fit for Matt Canadas offense

Moody was the most deserving K/P in this draft.  He was first off my board. But early 7th round. You simply cannot take a kicker in the third round

He was a crowd favorite any time he caught a pass.  At round 3 he's a nice pick up, I suspect.

Idk, it seems like today, if you're not a 1st-round QB, you're a project.  Hell, the #4 overall pick is a project this year, lol.
Their egos as 2nd and 3rd-rounders should be in check.
Should.

Is Bijan Robinson a project?  Broderick Jones?  No doubt they all need refinement at the next level.

The gap in talent between college teams is enormous compared with the NFL where the worst team is actually quite good in the absolute.

Browns fans were mere spectators for Round 1 of the NFL draft for the second straight year on Thursday night — courtesy of the Deshaun Watson trade, that cost them next years 1st rd pick also. Browns didn't select until the 74th and 98th pick yesterday  :banghead:

Steelers are absolutely killing it in this draft.

Trading up to steal Jones away from the Jets was priceless.  And a big F U from Belichick to his divisional rival.

Snagging Porter Jr, Benton, and Washington are all solid picks.  It's arguable Porter and Washington are 1st round graded players.

Michigan TE Luke Schoonmkaer taken in the 2nd round by the Cowboys and CB DJ Turner taken in the 2nd round as well by the Bengals. 

Both seem like reaches to me. I would've thought Schoonmaker would go around round 4. I think he's a decent player. Not exceptional. He can be a quality TE in the rotation, but he's never going to be a high quality starter or star....he's OK.

DJ Turner I wouldn't have touched until the 3rd round, and that's only because he ran a 4.26 in the 40. Dude is pretty MEH as an actual football player playing the CB position...

I profess near zero ability to predict how any of these guys will do in the League.  I suspect a handful are "can't miss" barring injury.  Some might get a nagging injury and never reach their potential.  Some may be lazy.
