Gilmore was always chasing the $$$ this time. He got a ring in NE and is nearing the end of his career. Cashing in was at the forefront of his mind.

800 yds receiving as his best total for a season and a total of 3, t-h-r-e-e, 100yd games for his ENTIRE collegiate career against FCS competition. Sheer domination.

Honestly, I see a lot, and I mean A LOT, of Stefon Diggs in George Pickens game. The way he runs his routes, the body language, the way he plucks the ball out of the air, and the way he moves with the ball in his hands. That's just my 2.

Hard, very hard decision. Outside of the fact I don't believe that some of these guys are on the board when we pick, my order would be as follows: 1. Jameson Williams 2. Devin Lloyd 3. Andrew Booth 4. Trevor Penning 5. Jordan Davis 6. Chris Olave

Hey, who knows, your wallet might be in a sand trap or an alligator's mouth somewhere around Miami-Dade.

I think Murray has proven himself to be a "diva" QB. He also loves to throw other people under the bus while deflecting blame from himself. I noticed it two years ago watching him in a couple of post game interviews. You also have the report that came out from Larry Fitzgerald's father. There is too much "smoke" around this little hobbit for there to not be fire. Greed and arrogance (the arrogance of placing yourself on a higher pedestal that you actually are) are terrible things. He seems as if he may be ate up with both of them. He's already going to make more $$$ than he likely would have in a baseball career and he's really done nothing outside of the "Hail Murray" to place himself in the upper echelon QB conversation. Is he a top 15 starting QB? Sure, but the Cardinals have the right to wait on giving him $100M+ guaranteed to see how he does this year, and maybe even into his 5th year option. If he chooses not to play, that just proves the reason why they waited.

My fiancé's family is all from the Rochester area of NY. Her grandfather and aunt are two family members who both moved to Florida. Other family members have talked about joining them at some point. Truthfully though, a lot of people have moved to Florida over the last 2 years or so for various reasons.

Christian Watson. A tall, fast kid who couldn't even dominate FCS competition, nor even put up 1,000 yards in a single season, and only had a total of 3 100yd games in 4 years. That's a negative Ghost Rider.

They can have that burnt slice of Nature's Own. Pittsburgh fans will appreciate the 37 times he gives up one more yard than the offense needs on 3rd down per season allowing a 1st.

When I say work ethic, I worded it wrong. What I am getting at is it being said he takes plays off. His on the field effort is not always consistent. Plus what he pulled at the Combine to me is a red flag, leaving before the drills while blaming it on being tired and it had been a long day. We'll see about the Panthers, but they are not going into the year with Cam and Darnold alone. I think Cross fits the new Giants mold more so than any other OT. Karlaftis I can understand. I'm basing it off the multiple visits and a few floating reports (true or not, who knows). I think many people have WR's all over, but this is just my best guess at how it works out.

1. Jacksonville Jaguars - Aidan Hutchinson / DE / Michigan - Hutchinson had an excellent Combine, by all accounts interviews well, and the Jags recently had him in for a private workout. He's is probably one of the safest picks in this draft. He works hard on and off the field, has all of the tools you look for in an elite edge rusher, and he leads by example. He and Josh Allen will make great bookends on the defensive side of the ball. ***Previously Evan Neal / OT / Alabama*** 2. Detroit Lions - Travon Walker / DE / Georgia - Detroit was hoping for Hutchinson here, but the Jags snagged him at #1. Walker was part of one of the most outstanding and deep defenses the NCAA has ever seen. They had a heavy rotation up front because there was so much talent. Walker then goes to the Combine and put his athleticism on full display with a 4.51 40yd Dash and a 6.89 3-Cone Drill @ 272lbs. He also has 35-1/2" arms to go with that 6'5" frame and that 9.98 RAS, which is insane. I know Malik Willis is a fun guy to throw in here, but Goff wasn't bad enough for them to pass on what they feel is a top tier pass rushing talent. ***Previously Aidan Hutchinson / DE / Michigan*** 3. Houston Texans - Ahmad Gardner / CB / Cincinnati - Lovie Smith was just saying in an interview the other day that his team cannot play the defense they want until they get the type of CB's they need. Gardner is as elite a prospect as you will find at the position. He did not give up a single TD throughout his entire college career. He has the size, length, intelligence, and speed you covet at the CB position. He's also one of the most high character young men in this draft. He will instantly be their CB1 on that defense. ***Previously Travon Walker / DE / Georgia*** 4. New York Jets - Jermaine Johnson II / DE / Florida St. - Do the Jets have other needs? Yes. Could they address one of those other needs here? Yes, but I think Saleh can't resist this move. They have Lawson coming back from injury, but Johnson is the type of player Saleh covets. Johnson also was another Georgia kid who transferred due to the heavy rotation. He definitely showed what he could do with more reps this last season notching 17 TFL's and 11.5 sacks. He also ran a 4.58 40yd dash with a 1.55 10yd split. He has plenty of get-off at the snap. He and Lawson could be an outstanding duo if Lawson returns to pre-injury form. ***No Change*** 5. New York Giants - Charles Cross / OT / Miss. St. - We all know what Daboll wants to do on offense. Pass, pass, pass, and pass some more. Cross is very athletic and comes from the Air-Raid Mike Leach offense where he pass blocked 90% of the time. He's shown great improvement the last couple of years and has really quick feet. I think Shoen/Daboll get a guy here they feel will keep Jones upright and be able to get out in front of Barkley in the screen game. ***No Change*** 6. Carolina Panthers - Malik Willis / QB / Liberty - Matt Rhule likes a mobile QB with the offense he runs. You saw it at Temple and you saw it at Baylor. Willis fits the mold and they have had multiple meetings with him. Willis reminds me of a slower Lamar Jackson, but put on a nice display throwing the football at the Combine and has some decent film at a smaller school in Liberty. Rhule gets what he considers "his guy" here. ***Previously Kenny Pickett / QB / Pitt*** 7. New York Giants (via Chicago) - Kayvon Thibodeaux / DE / Oregon - The Giants get a cornerstone at OT @ #5, then get a cornerstone at DE @ #7. Thibodeaux has some work ethic questions, but the talent is easy to see. He has good twitch and closing burst when getting after the QB. The Giants hope he can be their new Terrell Suggs in that Wink Martindale defense. ***Previously Ahmad Gardner / CB / Cincinnati*** 8. Atlanta Falcons - Garrett Wilson / WR / Ohio St. - The Flacons just blew up their season by chasing Deshaun Watson. Now they've had to trade Matt Ryan and are rolling with Mariota at QB. They are also looking at another year without Calvin Ridley. Who tf is Mariota supposed to throw the ball to? The cupboard is pretty bare outside of Patterson and Pitts. The rest of the WR group sucks. Wilson is a silky smooth WR with outstanding body control, good ball skills, and he's a threat to take any catch to the house. Atlanta needs this. ***No Change*** 9. Seattle Seahawks (via Denver) - Evan Neal / OT / Alabama - If they are going to give Drew Lock a legitimate shot at QB, then they are going to need to keep him upright. Duane Brown has not been resigned, plus he's almost 37. They get one of the top tier OL prospects in this draft @ #9 to start the rebuild. ***Previously Kayvon Thibodeaux / DE / Oregon*** 10. New York Jets (via Seattle) - Kyle Hamilton / S / Notre Dame - Saleh continues to mold this defense after the image he wants it to be. They get Jermaine Johnson II at #4 and then get another elite defensive talent @ #10. Hamilton can play either Safety position, has excellent ball skills, good speed, and is a sure tackler. He could be a real difference maker on the back end of that defense. ***No Change*** 11. Washington Commanders - Ikem Ekwonu / OT / North Carolina St. - Ekwonu is an excellent run blocker and has good athleticism. The work left to be done is in the Pass Pro aspects of his game. Still, he is one of the top 3 OT prospects in this draft and Washington definitely needs help on that front. Pencil in Ekwonu as a day 1 starter. ***No Change*** 12. Minnesota Vikings - Derek Stingley / CB / LSU - Stingley was looking like a possible top 5 prospect after his Freshman year at LSU where he posted 6 INT's. He's also had the benefit of practicing against two of the better WR's in the NFL at this point in time while in college, Jamaar Chase and Justin Jefferson. There are reports of those practice battles saying Stingley could hang with both of them as a 18 year old Freshman. Injuries and time off effected his play, but there is no doubt the talent and ability is there. The Vikings get an elite prospect at the position and also get younger as well. ***No Change*** 13. Houston Texans (via Cleveland) - Drake London / WR / USC - Drake London has a bit of Mike Evans to his game. He's not a burner, but he knows how to use his body and is a huge target with some deceptive wheels. Not fast, but fast enough to sneak up on you. If the Texans are truly going with Davis Mills then they need to get him some weapons. I think he will mash well with Brandon Cooks on the other side. This is a good start. ***No Change*** 14. Baltimore Ravens - Trevor Penning / OT / Northern Iowa - The Ravens OL was a huge weakness last year. Penning just also feels like a Ravens pick to me here. He is the meanest OL prospect in this entire draft and Lamar Jackson will LOVE this guy. You have to protect your Franchise QB and this goes a long way towards that. ***Previously Tyler Linderbaum / C / Iowa*** 15. Philadelphia Eagles (via Miami) - Devin Lloyd / LB / Utah - Devin Lloyd will immediately step in as the "QB" of this defense. He's a true 3-down LB who plays the run, can cover TE's, can rush the passer, is smart, and is a good tackler. Philly gets a massive upgrade here. ***No Change*** 16. New Orleans Saints (via Indy, via Philly) - Kenny Pickett / QB / Pitt - Jameis is back on a 2 year $28M deal, which is basically high end backup $$$ at this point. New Orleans didn't really expect Pickett to fall to them, but here he is. Pickett has the highest floor of any of this year's QB class. He's smart, throws the ball well, and understands defenses. Now they get competition for Winston this year and a player they hope can be "their guy" in the future. ***New Pick*** 17. LA Chargers - Jordan Davis / DT / Georgia - Jordan Davis is a freak of nature. A 6'6", 340lb man who boasts a 4.78 40 and a 32" vertical. That's crazy. He was completely underutilized in a pass rushing capacity at Georgia, but he does have some tools in the bag for a big guy. Watch the Chargers grab him here and line him up as a monstrous 5-Tech in that defense Staley wants to run. Can you imagine having the trio of Davis, Bosa, and Mack coming at you on every snap as a QB? It's a scary thought. ***Previously Trevor Penning / OT / Northern Iowa*** 18. Philadelphia Eagles - George Karlaftis / DE / Purdue - With Ojabo tearing his achilles tendon at the Michigan Pro Day, Karlaftis slides into this spot. He doesn't really have the quick twitch or bend that some of the other prospects at the position have in this draft. But he's extremely powerful, uses his hands well, has a quick first step, and finishes when he gets an angle on whoever has the ball. Karlaftis is also the only prospect Philly has had multiple meetings with to this point. ***No Change, but previously #19*** 19. New Orleans Saints - Chris Olave / WR / Ohio St. - The Saints have numerous needs on offense, but WR is definitely one of the more glaring. Olave is a great route runner, has excellent ball skills, has speed, and separates easily from anyone trying to cover him. This will be an immediate upgrade for their offense and much appreciated by whomever the QB ends up being. ***No Change, but previously #18*** 20. Pittsburgh Steelers - Matt Corral / QB / Ole Miss - Yeah, they signed Mitch. I'm sure many of us are rooting for the guy personally, but the Steelers have met with pretty much every 1st and 2nd day QB twice. They are going to pull the trigger on one at some point and I think it happens here. A dual threat QB who threw for over 3,300 yards, rushed for over 600 yards, and had 30+ total TD's. He also boasted a 68% completion percentage against SEC competition. Pittsburgh takes their swing on Ben's replacement here. ***Previously Trent McDuffie / CB / Washington*** 21. New England Patriots - Jameson Williams / WR / Alabama - I hate giving them this pick more than originally Treylon Burks. The door opened up for NE to grab a WR with legit #1 potential though, so of course they pounced. He could take any of those 15 yard Mac Jones passes to the house. ***Previously Treylon Burks / WR / Arkansas*** 22. Green Bay Packers (via LV) - Treylon Burks / WR / Arkansas. - Everyone saw what Green Bay did. They traded, arguably, the best WR in the NFL. They in turn use that pick received from LV on a WR. I've seen a Burks comp of AJ Brown in Tennessee. If you watch their playing style it seems about dead on. The loss of Adams will be huge, but Burks gives Rodgers a rookie target to hopefully soften that blow. A big bodied WR, with good speed, and is able to get those 50/50 balls. He's also the only prospect who has had multiple meetings with the Pack at this time. ***Previously Jahan Dotson / WR / Penn St.*** 23. Arizona Cardinals - Jahan Dotson / WR / Penn St. - Dotson is almost in the same exact mold as Christian Kirk, whom they just lost in FA. They take Dotson here to team up with Hopkins and give Murray another weapon who can make an instant impact. ***Previously Devonte Wyatt / DT / Georgia*** 24. Dallas Cowboys - Devonte Wyatt / DT / Georgia - Aaaaand here's the 2nd Georgia DT off of the board. Dallas has never shied away from players with a couple of off-the-field concerns. Wyatt's potential outweighs the risk here for Jerruh and they pull the trigger. ***Previously Jordan Davis / DT / Georgia*** 25. Buffalo Bills - Andrew Booth / CB / Clemson - This is how the board falls to Buffalo and they grab the guy who can, at the least, be their #2 CB for the immediate future. Watching that Cover 1 breakdown of his skillset shows you how he would fit perfectly into this defensive unit. Beane and McDermott pull the trigger on CB here. ***Previously Zion Johnson / G / Boston College*** 26. Tennessee Titans - Nakobe Dean / LB / Georgia - This is a Vrabel pick right here. The Titans let Jayon Brown walk in FA and now they're bringing in one of the top LB's in this class. Dean came up huge for Georgia this year. He had 72 tackles, 10 tfl's, 6 sacks, 5 pd's, and 2 INT's. He is a sideline to sideline LB who will play well in any defensive alignment. He reminds me a lot of Lavonte David coming out of Nebraska. ***No Change*** 27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Zion Johnson / G / Boston College - The Bucs were shocked at the sudden retirement of Ali Marpet. Now they have some holes to fill on the OL. It's a quality get for Tampa here @ #27. He'll be a day 1 starter along that OL for Tampa. ***Previously Kenyon Green / G / Texas A&M*** 28. Green Bay Packers - Christian Watson / WR / North Dakota St. - After not drafting a WR in the 1st Round since Javon Walker in 2002, the Packers double up this year. They get the big bodied, do everything WR with their first pick in the 1st. Then they come back and get their stretch the field WR with their second 1st Round pick. Some will say the Packers would never do this, but both WR's fit the mold of what they lost in Adams in Valdes-Scantling. ***Previously Boye Mafe / DE / Minnesota*** 29. Kansas City Chiefs (via San Fran, via Miami) - Boye Mafe / DE / Minnesota - The Chiefs have not re-signed Melvin Ingram and Frank Clark's production has decreased every year since 2018. Mafe posted a monster RAS of 9.88 at 6'3" and 255lbs. A 4.53 40, 1.6 10 yard split, a 38" vertical, and he looked good in the drills. ***Previously Skyy Moore / WR / Western Michigan*** 30. Kansas City Chiefs - Kaiir Elam / CB / Florida - The Chiefs are cap strapped and have holes to fill, especially on defense. After adding a pass rusher @ #29, they take a CB here because they don't want to reach for a WR, and they have 6 more picks between the 2nd and 4th Rounds. He'll have to watch his hand usage in the NFL because he gets a little grabby at times, but that just means he'll fit right on in with that group over there. He's a really nice prospect for the Chiefs to get here still. ***No Change*** 31. Cincinnati Bengals - Kenyon Green / G / Texas A&M - The shoring up around Joe Burrow continues. With the signing of La'el Collins the Bengals continue to make moves to sure up the interior of that OL. Green is a powerful blocker who would be an upgrade over Jackson Carman on the left side imo. That LG spot was a thorn in their side last year between Carman and Spain. Here is Cincy continuiing to right the ship. ***Previously Bernhard Raimann / OT / Central Michigan*** 32. Detroit Lions (via LA Rams) - Trent McDuffie / CB / Washington - Both Okudah and Oruwariye are suspect as starting CB's. The Lions look to upgrade that unit here with a scrappy CB who, if nothing else, could end up being an elite Slot CB or an upgrade on the outside in general. ***Previously Malik Willis / QB / Liberty*** Here is the 2nd crack at it. Flame away if you feel the need my friends. Bills Remaining Picks 57. Tre McBride / TE / Colorado St. 90. Nick Cross / S / Maryland 130. D'Marco Jackson / LB / Appalachian St. 168. Cam Jurgens / C-G / Nebraska 185. Tyquan Thornton / WR / Baylor 193. Max Borghi / RB / Washington St. (Move 203+231)

When the servers ask, "Would you like ranch with that?"

She's still trying to recover from her sh*tshow appearance at the Rangers game, where she was practically booed off the ice.

True. No team goes in with a game plan of how to stop Derek Carr. But, now he has a quality offense around him. The OL is decent, Jacobs is a top 10 RB, Waller may be a top 5 TE, Renfrow has developed into one of the best Slot WR's in the NFL, and Adams is certainly a top 5 WR. Add to that Carr already has chemistry with Adams from their time together at Fresno St. and the Raiders could take a nice step forward. Sucks for them to be in the AFC West, but they have built a solid team out there. Eli Manning won multiple SB's (shout out to Eli beating the Pats, TWICE ), Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, Joe Flacco, and Nick Foles. It's not always the greatest QB winning the big game.

Pass on McDuffie. We already have a slot CB in Taron Johnson. I'd rather have Gordon. Agreed that I trust Beane/McDermott in their calls on DB's though.

Carr isn't a bad QB. He's solid and strung together a decent 4 year stretch. It's Cousins/Dak type of $$$ like I expected. When you average it out over 4 years it's also quite team friendly. For the people talking about LV being a "middling" team? They added a legit star pass rusher to go along with Crosby in Chandler Jones. They also added a Top 5 WR in Adams to go with Renfrow, Waller, and Jacobs. This is after making the playoffs last year and losing to the eventual AFC Champs by one score in the first round.

Agree 100% and this is what it boils down to. I ranked 3 QB's ahead of Allen at this time. Brady, Rodgers, and narrowly Mahomes. Even though I did that, there is absolutely no other QB in the NFL that I would pick right now over Allen. Allen is Top 5 and he hasn't even reached his full potential yet. We saw a glimpse of it in the two Playoff games against NE and KC. The only reason KC won is because of an atrocious 13 seconds. Mahomes wasn't special like Allen in that game. The last two scores in regulation came off of busted coverages, the Tyreek Hill TD with about 50 yds of YAC and against the 13 second defense which was basically like a layup drill. That deep ball to Gabe Davis was in the air 62 yards, hit him right on the money, and in perfect stride. Josh converted multiple 4th downs in the clutch as well. At some point in the near future most of the bobbleheads, minus the bums like Keyshawn, will herald Allen as the best QB in the NFL. That time is coming soon. In a way though, I kind of like when these idiots get to talking. I know Josh sees it and it just pushes him even more because that's the type of chip he carries.

Pickens didn't really do anything special there. He pushed over a DB who was locked in on pass defense, was solely focused on the WR running a pass route, and got caught off balance in his backpedal. Just saying. I also wouldn't be surprised if we took a guy like Hill in the 1st with the intent of him playing an outside CB position, then take a guy like Nick Cross from Maryland to play S in this defense in the 3rd.
