sorry missed this somehow.... have deleted mine.... I'll blame it on being 1am already!
My smart-assed remark was "Already had one in the chamber (that's a gun to you, Tommy ; - )"

I don't have a dog in the fight but I disagree with Gonzo and others calling other postera a holes or ignorant because they don't get information through ESPN or the NFL Network.
I don't disagree, but I think it's less reflective of Gonzo and more indicative of how much it reallllly pisses people off.

Awesome! I'm not even much of a PF fan and even I own Live from Pompeii on DVD. Amazing movie. Enjoy!
35 years later I still have a distinct memory of tripping balls while watching that version of Echoes

What do you guys think about JT Tuimoloau?
I think he’s going to be a Bill. Hopefully tomorrow if at all. I’m not a big fan of the guy personally…. That’s why I think he’ll be a Bill 😱
One of the most inconsistent players I have ever seen in my life.
One day he's completely dominating a game, then he becomes invisible for 5 weeks, then he's flashing for a quarter, then he's gone again for 3 weeks. 🤷♂️

Have fun and do NOT tip picks under pain of death!
And I have no intention of sitting here watching both this thread and other teams drafts for 4 straight hours so please fire off a report if somebody is tipping picks cause it's a coinflip whether I actually catch it.

@Simon @Moderator - are you creating a pinned thread as normal?
Just got home.
I'll get something up in a bit, but if you want to do so yourself with any higher quality commentary, I'll be just as happy to pin yours.

Who’s joking.
Then why not set the tone and toss the people who you know are going to tip the pick early now . 😘
This sounds like a Philip K Dick story...

For further clarification:
Will I get tossed for my “comments” to the people who do?
How long would I be tossed for?Nope. That could actually help me see something that I may otherwise miss.
Although it would be advisable that if/when chewing somebody out, that you remove their tipped pick from your response 🤙

Tipping picks gives me flashbacks to my wedding that was on the day of the 2009 draft. Just as I was about to consummate “christening” my wife, she yelled out “The Bills drafted MAYBIN? This is the worst night of my life!”

Just now, sven233 said:
So what......can we have a real time thread then and just not spoil the picks in the general draft thread? That would be "discussing it somewhere else", right?
I'd prefer not to because it will inevitably create conflict when people forget which thread they're in or start crossing threads to expand their discussion options.
It's not a hard ask; just hold your water please until the Commish makes the announcement on a network.

I'm sorry, but if the Bills make a pick, there are going to be those of us that want to just talk about it right away and not have to wait 5-10 minutes for the TV broadcast to catch up.
When a pick is made, there is no reason it can't be made public.
Then discuss it somewhere else please.
I have zero desire to toss people for it, but if that is what the community prefers (which it clearly always has) then that is what will be done.

I don't even think it is tv feeds it is certain twitter accounts - DraftDiamonds is one - who have access to the same league wire as the teams and fair enough them tweeting it, I have no issue with that.
Yeah, I was using "feeds" in the most inclusive manner in which it could possibly be interpreted so that I didn't have to type more than one sentence.

Are picks known before that?I think sometimes people have other feeds that put them ahead of everybody else.

Fair warning:
Tipping picks is an instant suspension, either in real time or if I see later that you had been doing it.
Have some respect for the rest of the community and just don't do it.
30 minutes ago, TheyCallMeAndy said:Can we have a spoilers thread? Or easier to just avoid it altogether?
Just avoid it altogether; trying to manage two different threads is a pita and not worth it
16 minutes ago, DrDawkinstein said:So what's the rule for proper etiquette?
Wait until the Commish has announced the pick to discuss it?
That would be fantastic and I would amend it to "announced the pick on the network broadcast".

I was too young to remember him playing but I just watched the 30for30 on the 85 Bears and he is great in it.
The most dominating, relentless and terrifying defense that I have ever seen on any football field.
And whoever is second, isn't even close.
They were that good, imo.

Its without question Carter, and its not close.
DE Carter > CB Hunter
DE Carter > WR Hunter
Hunters appeal is he can play both positions...but that novelty has less value in the NFL. No matter what position Hunter commits too, Carter is a better prospect at his position than Hunter is at that position.
You take Carter if given the chance. Doesn't mean Hunter isn't also one of the best prospects in the draft, but Carter is arguably the best prospect in this whole draft and has a elite potential.
As a Penn State fan I've reallllly enjoyed watching Carter's greatness, truly jaw-dropping at times.
But if/when his body starts to betray him fairly early in his NFL career, remember this post.

A friendly reminder: DONT TIP PICKS

Sorry, but I simply don't see any equivalency between a prediction and a despoiling
He said it way better
