2023 NFL Draft Thread

[MrNubbz]

don't think it's fair to call Kylar Murray a bust. Not living up to the #1 overall billing? Sure. But he's at least decent with moments of spectacular. Rosen and Leinart? Sure...both huge busts who just couldn't play at the NFL level at all.

Ya that year Rosen came out he was suppose to be the standard bearer Josh Allen,Lamar Jackson,Mayfield,Darnold also. i really liked Darnold seemed like a good talented kid with his head screwed on right. Guess he could never get out from under the talent around him. But ya the ballyhoeed Rosen never got off the canvas seemingly

btw...your original point still stands....dude was an awful GM lol. But that's all they can get in media....the ones that are terrible and constantly get fired....the good GMs typically stay employed by NFL teams lol.

When I watched Arizona I swear I watched DBs running to the spot the ball was going before the WRs even broke their routes. It happened to Murray and the backups. It seemed like the opposing D frequently knew the play. Murray was at his best when the play broke down, so it might have been just awful coaching.

The SEC had  the same number of players drafted as the ACC AND the B12 combined.

Just took Nick Herbig from Wisconsin. Him and TJ Watt teamed up is gonna be killer, with Benton taking up guys in front.

The front office loves the Wisconsin defense.  Blue collar hard nosed players, fit perfectly into Steelers football.

They picked up Nick Herbigs brother, Nate Herbig (OG), from Philly this off-season as well. 

Keeping it in the family has become a Steelers tradition, which has included Carlos and Khalil Davis, Trey and Terrell Edmunds, Derek and TJ Watt, Cameron and Connor Heyward, as well as Joey Porter Jr, son of Steelers pro bowl LB Joey Porter.

So you're not actually into football, just the soap opera narratives made by the talking heads?

??

Ask any Jets fan, Belichick has been f'ing them over for 20 years.  That was a calculated move that benefits the Patriots (and Steelers) while screwing a division rival.  There's nothing soap opera about it.

No, definitely don't care about talking heads.  I grew up in Pittsburgh, played football throughout HS, lived with a Purdue OL in college...I've been a genuine fan of the game my entire life.

[Cincydawg]

I saw a meme saying the entire Dawg starting defense in 2021 has been drafted.  If so, that's a something.

As for Talking Heads, I think posters here mostly ignore them all, with perhaps one or two exceptions.  We might chuckle at some of their chucklers.

Former Nebraska and Kansas State quarterback Adrian Martinez has signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Detroit Lions, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

The first three-time captain in Husker football history, Martinez spent four seasons as Nebraska’s starting quarterback before transferring to Manhattan, Kansas, to suit up for Kansas State for his final year.

Martinez owns several career and individual records at Nebraska, including career total offensive yards (10,792), career total offensive yards per game (276.7), most career total 300-yard games (19), most career total 400-yard games (5) and most career 250-yard passing games (16).

For his career at Nebraska, Martinez threw for a combined 8,491 yards, 45 touchdowns and 30 interceptions while completing 64 percent of his passes. A true dual-threat, the California native and former four-star recruit in the Class of 2018 rushed for a combined 2,301 yards and 35 scores.

Was he going to keep his starting job if he stayed at Nebraska?

[FearlessF]

I doubt it

Casey Thompson was just better.
and the fans were tired of losing - needed a change

Kind of makes that resume sort of moot, no?

[FearlessF]

30 ints and way too many fumbles leading to loses makes all the other numbers moot

Why would they put the Jets' logo?  He was drafted by Denver.
