2023 NFL Draft Thread

[Outshined_One]

Apparently the Ravens and Lamar Jackson have agreed to an extension.

Have to think that will make certain teams a bit more likely to move up for a QB.

I'll be quite pleased if CJ Stroud is the pick for Carolina, but I've had a man-crush on Bryce Young for some time so I'm titillated by the recent rumors that they will pick him. There's also a report from The Athletic's beat writer that Carolina and Houston have discussed a trade back to 2 (which could be related to the Young rumors), but it doesn't seem like those are serious talks at this point.

So the latest rumors involved some silly Reddit post by (as far as we know) a random jackwagon claiming Will Levis had told friends he was the #1 pick. Can't wait to not worry about that in a few hours. I'm extremely confident in Bryce Young. The only thing anyone seems to have against him is that he might get hurt when he's only missed one game in his entire football career to date. Not a good enough reason not to pick someone, IMO.

Rumors now that, if Houston passes on Stroud at 2, Tennessee will trade with Arizona to get to 3 to take him.  If that happens, I really want Stroud to become the Titans' version of Aaron Rodgers and the Texans to be the Rodgers-era Bears.

Caserio is awful and the Texans are the worst organization in the NFL.  They should continue to pay for their ineptitude.

Crater for Caleb.  He's a far superior talent.  Don't settle for Stroud.

This is one of the best TE classes I can remember.  It's lying season, but supposedly some teams have failed Washington's medicals.  Somebody might be getting a steal with him if he drops (hopefully Miami).  

Ohhhh another Fins fan in here? Washington would be a great fit in Miami. Definitely need some help run blocking and he can probably contribute year 1 as a red zone threat, which is much needed after losing Gesicki. 
 

I’m a little afraid they’re going to trade a third or something for Dalvin Cook. The RB room needs help, but I hope it’s not for an overrated and expensive back like Dalvin. Good draft to pick up a back on day 3 that can help immediately.

Yeah, I would be pretty disappointed if they traded anything for Dalvin.  He's been very open about his desire to play in Miami, so just wait for Minny to cut him.  I like him as a player, but not at his current price tag.

And. Here. We. Go.

Damn, Goodell went for 'hey remember when you guys won the Super Bowl" and *still* barely got more cheers than boos.

Feel like this draft is lining up to have QBs falling. Never got the hype for these guys. Poles was right to trade when he did.

Panthers took Young 1.1

Drafting in the top 10 and not needing a QB gets better every year.

[Derwood]

So the Texans traded up to #3? Huh

Do we know if the first rounder the Texans gave up next year is their own or Cleveland's?  

[Derwood]

So winning that last game didn't really hurt the Texans after all

[Hairyducked Idiot]

12, 33, 1st and 3rd next year for one defensive player.  Franchise-killing move.

Maybe.  But I thought the information all along was that they liked Young the best of the QB's.

To be fair, they were dead long before this trade

Time to hope Levis falls to 9.

[UMFan83]

Wonder if multiple teams are trying to trade up to get the last of the 4 QBs

[CubinNY]

Goony went out on a limb and they sawed it off. 

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Turns out bad teams drafting at the bottom of the draft tend to make bad decisions because that's how they got there.
