Anything NFL Draft content can be posted here.
I love the draft season personally more so than I do the Super Bowl.
If you got mocks, post them here. Rumors? Post em here. Do you have a draft crush? Post it here.

I pay attention but I cannot watch it. Boring. They announce the pick and then there's 5-10 minutes of the experts saying how good the pick is. I still remember how ESPN wet themselves over JaMarcus Russell. "Russell will redefine the quarterback position for the next 50 years". I thought it was plain that he was an experiment. A failed experiment. I can just as easily read about it the next day.
Bills draft #30. Strange. I'd like to see them take a running back. The AFC Title game exposed the fact that Allen cannot carry the team alone and expect titles. But it's a thin crop. Najee Harris from Alabama and Travis Etienne from Clemson. Will either be there at #30? And the Bills have not had any luck with Alabama or Clemson players. Marcell Darius, Reggie Ragland, Cyrus Kouandijo from Bama, Sammy Watkins, CJ Spiller, Shaq Lawson from Clemson. Except for Kuoandijo, they weren't busts but they didn't stay long either.

Post it here. Absolutely love all things NFL offseason. The building of a team is as fun for me as the games themselves. I literally watch the whole draft, all seven rounds. Shane Falco, I'm your man. It might only be the two of us posting in this thread (other than people coming in to mock our love of mocks), but I'll be all in. I'm interested in seeing how the mocks are constructed post-Wentz trade.

I can’t wait for the draft - NFL is by far my favorite sport and I already miss it, so I enjoy keeping up with the offseason news and talking about the draft.
Like I’ve said before, I think my favorite team, the Falcons, should trade down in exchange for more picks if Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson are gone by the time they pick, we know Lawrence will go #1 to the Jags, and if Wilson is gone by the time the Falcons pick at #4 I think the Falcons should trade down for more picks because I don’t trust any of the other QB’s and Matt Ryan is still decent and has some left in the tank, and the Falcons defense really needs help, their corners are terrible and they don’t have any good pass rushers. They can trade down for more picks and focus on helping their defense with these picks and hold off on selecting a QB of the future for now. But if Wilson was available I would take him, he’s very impressive and I think he will be a very good NFL QB.
It will be interesting to see what happens with the #2 and #3 picks, the Jets and Dolphins, I’m certain the Jets will take a QB, while the Dolphins I predict will take a WR - either Devonta Smith or Jamarr Chase probably. I do wonder if one of those picks will wind up belonging to the Texans with Watson going to either the Jets or Dolphins.

That's me! Of course that argument holds for everything. Why watch games? You don't personally know anybody and the scores are put on the Internet after they happen.

I've not seen the same player mocked twice to the Patriots. I like that. A lot.
As long as Belichick doesn't go full Dan Snyder signing 32yr olds trying to make a roster statement, I'm all in the Patriots drama this entire f'n year. Free agency will be drunker than years.

I guess there's suspense in the Draft but I care more if Dallas can beat Cleveland than whether Detroit takes a linebacker or a receiver.

Im working on my own mock atm for fun. I currently have Etienne going to Buffalo with that same thinking. I have Harris going earlier. They could help Allen a lot with a more balanced offense.

In my own mock im putting together I have Najee Harris to Pitt but I keep hearing that they'd never take a RB in the 1st round and the popular mock is an O lineman which would also make sense.

Any thoughts on Mac Jones? He is getting some R1 buzz now and with the connection between Saban and Belichick I could see it being the pick.

Mostly seeing Justin Fields. However I dont think they take a QB unless they trade Ryan before the draft. I think they are of the mindset that they can still win with Ryan and brought in a coach with an offensive gameplan that lead to Ryans MVP season. I currently have them going CB in Patrick Surtain.

Why not draft a QB and let him sit and learn, like Mahomes? There be question marks about anyone except Trevor. And I will be shocked if a team does move up to #2 or #3. That might give Atlanta the option to trade down a bit and take a project like Mac Jones or the kid from North Dakota State?

Imo i think they plan on sticking it out with Ryan and his current contract which i believe is 2 or 3 more seasons. Drafting a QB now to sit for 2 or 3 seasons is pretty backwards unless you're the Packers apparently. Teams are winning Super Bowls or getting to them by partially having QBs on rookie deals and it really shortens that window to have a rookie QB sit that long. Ideally you'd want a guy to sit 1 year. So if the Falcons suck next year too id say that would be the time to look at a QB.

So, how many teams will definitely grab a QB in the 1st? Jacksonville of course. Then who? My 2nd would be New England. I don’t think they will dumpster dive for one again and they have to know by now if Stidham can do it. If they want to, would the Jets or Dolphins trade with the Pats?

I just don’t trust Fields as a QB at all, he didn’t impressive me on a consistent basis at OSU, he’s definitely capable of playing great games, like he did in the semifinal against Clemson this year, but he can also play lousy games, like he did in the Big 10 Title and to a degree in the National Title Game against Bama. I am very uncertain if Fields will be a good NFL QB. I’m even less certain about Trey Lance from NDST, who’s only played in 15 games against Division 2 competition. Bottom line is - I wouldn’t take a QB with the #4 pick if I’m the Falcons unless it’s Lawrence or Wilson. Matt Ryan is still decent, and the Falcons have much more pressing needs on defense. I like your call of Patrick Surtain being the Falcons pick, he’s probably the best corner in the draft and the Falcons corners suck donkey balls. I wonder if the Falcons could trade down a few picks and still nab Surtain plus get a couple of extra picks.

Jaguars Panthers 49ers Patriots Washington Bears Steelers Saints Imo would all be in the first round QB market. The Jets are iffy as im not sure they move Darnold. I think they give him this last chance with a new coach and look to get him weapons in Round 1 and trading down from #2 to a team looking to grab Zach Wilson.

I imagine it would be a team looking to grab one of these QBs. To still get Surtain i think they'd need to stay ahead of Denver and Dallas who are heavily in need of CB's. So Carolina maybe at pick 8.

Carolina I guess, Bridgewater is a bum. I don’t think the Steelers are ready to move on from Ben. Saints are going to try Winston-Hill combo. 49ers won’t move on from Jimmy G. Just yet. A lot depends on the disgruntled pair, Watson and Wilson. If I was WFT, I’d overpay for one on them. Smith is an injury risk
