2022 NFL Draft thread - Day 1 discussion - Round 1

[Chromeburn]

Glad the run on WRs stopped. Lot of decent players still on the board.

Raimann
Watson
Moore
Ebiketie
Ojabo
Gordon
McBride

[YDFL Commish]

Still three worthy we'd left for Colts, in Moore, Watson and Pierce.

McBride and Bell let’s go

ESPN's (Matt Miller) NFL comp for No. 1 overall pick Travon Walker is...Kwity Paye.

Not sure how I feel about that…….

[Spike]

Greatest thing about the draft tonight was that the Pat's took OG Strange who was nowhere near a 1st round talent.

Bleacher Report gave the Pats an F for this selection and Pat fans are going insane about this pick. They are having a major meltdown. I feel sorry for them, NOT!

Maybe McScumbag really was the brains of that organization?

Colts are not drafting Bell. He may be the worst WR athelete in this years draft.

Ballard loves him some measurables. Not to the point Jax did with picking Walker #1 overall, based solely on measurables.

But, my god, a player has to meet at least a minimum threshold as an athelete and Bell does not do that in any of the testing.

Bell should not be drafted before the 4th round at the earliest.

You gotta be joking right

So his production doesn’t mean anything to you?

Probably the best and most willing run blocker in this draft another thing nobody is even mentioning that Ballard clearly values in a receiver playing with Taylor

I wish Paye was good enough to lead quite possibly the best collegiate defense in history in QB pressures on 39(!) rush attempts.

It reminds me of the time they took some no name OG at 32 that no one had heard of who turned out to be Logan Mankins. Belicheat may be a dirty cheater, but when he drafts someone seemingly out of nowhere, he tends to be right and get the last laugh.

That's a funny joke. So glad that jackass inadvertently stopped Ballard from the worst decision of his GM tenure.
