Wow, 5 skill position players in the Top 10. When was the last time that happened?

Wow, people are going to lose their jobs in KC over this trade and pick.

Chiefs traded up to take Mahomes, who is extremely over-rated because he can throw jump balls really, really far.

Ironically, in many ways, he is the exact opposite of Alex Smith, who can't throw beyond the line of scrimmage. Although Smith is smart, has great footwork, and great pocket awareness so...

Mahomes is a look to the future. Smith is still their guy. But I can't believe they traded up to #10 for him.

CB was a position of need, but can't say I'm excited about Humphrey when Allen, Foster, and Robinson are still on the board. But, hey we need an elite CB, hopefully he becomes it.

Think I can see the Eagles taking a RB in round 2 if one of the remaining top talents is left for them. Then maybe trading up in Rd 3 for a cornerback

12 hrs out from the first round, after catching up on the 2ND half, it feels like some historic fuck ups happened today.

I'm pretty thrilled about getting Watt.

If Ben's broken, crumbling body can hold out another two seasons I think we will finally hit the perfect storm where our offense and defense are both elite at the same time.

This was some real big reachs and bad trades for mediocre QBs this year. I think historically bad reaches. If the browns suck next year, again, they might be able to pick up Rosen or Darnold and THAT is exciting.

Reaching for medicore quarterback prospects in the first round simply doesn't work. Consider the following:

The Jaguars picked Blaine Gabbert over J.J. Watt
The Titans picked Jake Locker over J.J. Watt and Tyron Smith
The Vikings picked Christian Ponder over Robert Quinn
The Dolphins picked Ryan Tannehill over Luke Kuechly
The Bills picked E.J. Manuel over Tyler Eifert
The Jaguars picked Blake Bortles over Khalil Mack

Tennessee didn't trade up for Locker though.. That was just their selection. Same with Ponder.

Tannehill was the same. Although I was ALWAYS shocked that Tannehill was ever considered a top 8 pick considering he was a WR in college. Also I'm not sure he belongs on this list. He's far and away better than all of these guys.

Buffalo actually traded DOWN to get EJ Manuel.

Blake Bortles was just a regular pick as well.

Gabbert is the only one of those that's even close to the level of bad this year has been(and let's keep in mind Watt then wasn't nearly looked at then as he is today, he was the 5TH!!! defensive player taken in that draft and the 2nd d-linemen).

~~~~

This is like the Sanchez trade...3 times. In the span of an hour. The context hasn't yet been determined because we don't have the results of each of these guy's career yet or the guy's who the trade yielded yet but it seems bad. The Sanchez trade looks bad, but Cleveland only got Alex Mack and a bunch of scrubs while also passing on Jeremy Maclin.

The Trubisky thing is most immediately bad cause it's 2 3rds and a 4th for essentially nothing(they moved up 1 spot to get a guy they PROBABLY could of got at 3 as long as someone else wasn't trying to trade ahead of them). Mahomes II is a 1st rounder next year for a guy who's a project(and if the corner works out, Mahomes doesn't, and Chiefs suck next year, it's gonna look real bad as soon as next year). Deshaun Watson is MORE WILD. Cause all of this is part of the haul they are getting from the Carson Wentz trade from last year and already includes Cody Kessler, Corey Coleman, Jabrill Peppers, and David Njoku and a first round pick for next year from a team that could realistically suck. I know it's unfair but this is a really REALLY bad spot for Watson where he could immediately be seen as a franchise killer if he doesn't come in from day 1 and win games, more than Mitch and WAAAAY more than Mahomes.

Yeah figured that's where he'd land, though lots of rumours that we'd have taken him to Denver if he fell enough. Glad not to have that much character concern, but sad to miss out on a playmaker.

I actually felt Kizer was the #2 QB in this class, so in a vacuum, the Browns did well to not use a 1st Rounder on him. But no QB from this class is going to be the type of QB that makes everyone else around them better, so really none of them are going into a good situation. Trubisky is going to crash and burn, and his career will be ruined because the Bear's offense is horrible. Mahomes is an awful QB to begin with, so I imagine he'll be getting someone fired in short order after he starts playing. Smith is getting flashbacks. Watson is going to an awful Texans offense. Although luckily it looks like their playbook actually favors his style of QB, so maybe he'll be mediocre. I guess David Webb is in the best situation out of all of them.
