Forget Travis Hunter, Hairston will be the two way player in this draft, 😆

Why did you choose a board name after a cough syrup?

[ngbills]

This was the year to trade down.  Last year was not. Oh well. 

[GunnerBill]

If Simmons can get back fully healthy I'm afraid that is a great pick for the Chiefs.

The chance of Albert Collins dropping to #56 isn't great.  Who is the next 1 tech on the big board if Collins doesn't drop?

If I were a betting man I would say the Bills like Farmer the dt out of Florida State. They have met with him a lot and also Landon Jackson. Not pick tipping but that's my guess for tomorrow.

Big win for KC.  Simmons is going to be really good.

Damn that is a great pick for KC. Got a legit top 10ish talent that happens to fill their biggest need.

Someone alert the community of Kansas City Missouri.

 

Josh Simmons will be moving to your area to play for the chiefs, be advised he may hit you with his car while drunk, while racing other chiefs players, he may beat up your wife/sister/mother or daughter.  Also be advised he may sell your children drugs or buy drugs from your children.

 

So be advised people of Kansas City.

What’s the reason to have eagles and chiefs swap 

Expand  

 

Philly must have wanted to be 100% sure that no one traded ahead of them.  They reported they were trying to trade up all the way from 22 but couldn't get the trade finalized.

Or we could just be happy with what we got

Most likely reason is Eagles were afraid someone else was going to trade for the Chief's spot and take the LB so they gave away a 5th just to be sure no one came in and sniped their guy.

The pick is whatever, nobody would have expected that, he wasn't highly ranked and was a round 2 guy. I just have to laugh at all of the guys that are like YES I LOVE THAT PICK. You guys would love anything they do. They don't have a great round 1 record. Beane is better at the mid rounds. Not sure what the deal is with that. Not expecting this kid to play at all this year 

Expand  

Obviously we don’t know the future but he was highly ranked.  The lowest projection I saw for him was earlier than we took him 

[Richard Noggin]

Is Philly's pick just piling on with their embarrassment of riches on the defensive side? Seems insane what they have on that side of the ball. 

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

Ehh 

[SoonerBillsFan]

I wish we could have traded down a little, still get Maxwell, and pick up a 3rd.  

[billsfan714]

7 guys left from drafteks  projection.   Puts guys in play at 56 and 62 that you thought wouldnt be there.

Cuz kc is smart and prob told phi they are getting a lot of calls. We could have done the same.

Agreed.

 

Nothing against Hairston at all, but Eagles pick difference makers.

Expand  

First two picks last year Mitchell and DeJean both 6ft and 195/200 pounds.  I don't care if he's a track star or not.  As long as Hairston can cover.

You never declared irony. Nor did you declare some kind of 175-year family journey over unthinkable traumas to this incredible moment where he will likely earn generational wealth while presumably pursuing his life's dream, if properly managed. Maybe your post was just poorly/ambiguously conveyed, but do better.

On the bright side, it’s likely the young man will enjoy this amazing accomplishment tonight without ever seeing, reading or hearing about this drivel.

Man. Cleveland would have had the opportunity to pair Sanders up with Hunter. Instant chemistry type situation. I'm not Sanders fan but they fumbled a really solid opportunity there.
