Will have to wait and see them on the Field but i give the Raiders a D for their first round.
Ruggs over Lamb or Juedy - Al Davis Made that pick from the Grave
Then taking Damon Arnette at 19 is a complete head-scratcher . Most had a late 2nd or 3rd rd grade on him.

So, basically the Raiders traded Khalil Mack and a 2nd round pick for Josh Jacobs and Damon Arnette. Right?

The raiders seem to be running some sort of WWE style entertainment operation.

Giants fan here who has very little knowledge about NCAA football (aside from the UConn/NDSU games I watch and the one Yale game I go to a year).
Glad the Giants went with tackle. Time will tell if it's a reach, but I wish Gettleman found a way to trade back.

Yup, i think there might have been a few more later rd picks that were switched but its basically Jacobs and Arnette for Mack and who ever the bears take tonight

Giants took the 4th best tackle 4th in the 1st round. Gettelman proved he should've been fired as he should have taken either Simmons or the tackle from Bama. Obviously they are beginning to look like the Browns with him at the helm. Shame on the Mara's.

They graded him highest. I wouldn't assume Gettleman and Judge are wrong and Mel Kiper is right. Those pre-draft grades are often complete garbage. Agree however, that if he was their guy they needed to try to trade back. Same with Daniel Jones last year. They suck at maneuvering.

shame on the maras for letting him take Jones considering a far better QB prospect fell to them this year.

Patriots did what was expected and traded out of the first. I pity the fools who thought they were going to trade up for a QB.
Now tonight they will package some of those picks and move up tactically to get the guys they want. I am very hopeful that Matt Peart goes to New England in round 3. Just what they need at RT. Need to get LB/DL and safety if possible.

Time will tell with Thomas. He is what they needed at least. there are still good defensive players to get in the second round. Giving up the third round pick for Williams- who is now grieving his tag as a D tackle claiming he is an end- is definitely a fireable offense. But Mara had to sign off on it so what can we do.

Dolphins fan here. Stoked to get Tua. A little bit of a reach with Austin Jackson in my opinion. I like the auburn cb we got late in round 1. Hoping for a top tier rb in round 2.

My Steelers get into the act tonight. The two guys I’m hoping for at 49 are Winfield or Pittman, but I think both are gone by the time we pick. I’m really hoping we stay away from RB, even if a guy like Taylor is on the board

Looking forward to tonight. Crazy good number of players available still. That's why I was sure Belichick would trade back (and will now use those four 3rd round, 2 4th round and 4 6th round picks to move up).

I wouldn't be surprised to see your team take Eason at some point. Winfield and Pittman will almost certainly go by 49.

I admit not sure on sarcasm or not here Q? I would have preferred Herbert if you asked me last year and I knew they could take him in this draft. But I do like Jones now and think he could be a good one, we will see. But if your last 2 #1s are Barkley and Jones I guess you needed to protect them with a tackle. Just hope the kid is good enough immediately they need that to happen. We will see.

Yeah the Williams trade for a 3 was ridiculous, or as you say a firing offense. Getty was a laughingstock after that as others offered no more than a 5 I believe.

I think there's a decent chance Winfield will be there just because all the 1st round safeties dropped and are still available. Pittman feels like a lock for the Colts with either 34/44

All the buzz locally is on Hurts, if we went QB. I like him a lot and think he’s going to be very good with the right staff, which I think we have with Tomlin and Matt Canada brought in, but it’s tough to use a pick on a QB if a guy like Pittman or Hamler is there to immediately boost the offense.
Yeah, I think Higgins or Pittman is a lock to Indy. Winfield would solve the only glaring hole we have in Edmunds. Him and Minkah would be a fun as hell safety tandem

But that started with reaching for Jones instead of taking Allen...
Succession plans at qb and Rb are wildly overrated.

One thing to consider.
Before the underwear olympics this guy was a clear cut top 5 pick. Arguably the favorite for the giants selection.
He dropped like a rock and then came full circle.
It’s not outlandish except that the media draft guys all seemed to sour on him when the calendar changed to February.

Yeah I spent all fall hoping we'd suck enough to get Thomas so it would be hypocritical to criticize it.
At this point I think it's safe to say Gettleman is able to identify talent in the draft. He has no ability to maneuver the draft to get extra picks and he needs to go, but no reason to think Thomas isn't going to work out

Love isn‘t as good as Stidham and needs at least two years on the bench. A project. Not useful for the Pats. Useful for GB. Murray sucks in coverage apparently. I think they like the LB at Wyoming. There is a good chance they get the same guy they would have taken at 23. Maybe McKinney.

Win now. That is the montra but if the Notre Dame TE is available do the Giants take him in the second and fill a long running need ? They can focus on defense from here on out as well as next year. Face it the Eagles and Cowboys are way better and the goal is to build for the 2021 season and beyond.

the value right now is at safety. Another giants need.
this te class is pretty bad though.

but man is that a luxury pick.
