    Coffee, Deftones, Spanish omelettes check check check.

    Kay Adams??? Not enough woman there.  I have a buddy that likes Colleen Wolfe I guess to each their  own.

    Molly Qerim would be my first overall pick

    Look man, talk shit on me all you want, but you leave my angel out of this.

    I've always liked Kay Adams a lot. She sounds like she has a smart mind to back up her beauty.

    Beautiful, petite, Italian mid-western girl who loves football and strikes me as reasonably intelligent?    That's going to be a "YES" from me 11/10 times. 

  • The "Un-draft Day",. 

    Draft day used to be a religious holiday in my house especially when it was on ESPN on a Saturday and Sunday.

    I'd get a big 22 oz mug of ice, diet Coke and a handful of cigars and go out on my deck with all of my papers and watch it for hours........the only thing missing was Ed or Steve Sabol doing the introduction narration like NFL films.

    This "new" primetime draft really sucks, give me the old time version any time !      😍

    Agree 200%.

    My son and his friends would come over....I'd have burgers and dogs on the grille....munchies, deserts, drinks.  Those were the good ol' days!

  • The pressure is on - how will it go? Will I be happy dancing? Or will I choke on my root beer?

    FIRST ROUND 

    = Andrew Thomas or trade down and Josh Jones ? I'm happy dancing !

    Hopefully I set my root beer down before anything else happens with our first round pick. Unless Simmons falls, but  don't think so. I won't choke on that.

    SECOND ROUND

    - Will Kyle Dugger get drafted before Tiam's Jeremy Chinn? I'll be happy dancing.

    or, I choke on my root beer, and send Tiam an apology - he was right. dammit.

    Or, it could be completely different, which it usually is....

    However, if they pick a Big quick terrific ball catching WR here, it's understandable, and I won't choke on my root beer at all. It depends.

    THIRD ROUND TWO CHOICES

    To me, the third is just as critical. one of the two picks has to be Logan Wilson, LB. I actually think that

    the other pick is a wide receiver. maybe. or OG.

    Now, if the Browns pick Malik Harrison lb, I'm still happy dancing.

    The rest of the draft I don't get all worked up.

    Well...I preferred that as well.    But, they wanted to make a prime time show of it to make money.

    So be it.  Whattaya gonna do?

    Winfield or Ashtyn at Safety    over Dugger or Chinn

    Sorry,  just prefer to have the guys that are more proven against better competition than those that have played in the AAA or A minor leagues. 

  • Ummmmmm.... Wheat thins...

    Wife is picking up curries from our local, world-class Thai place... green chicken with brown rice for her... pork Panang with white rice for me.

    Plus a couple of their spicy beef egg rolls...

    Egg rolls plus small bowl of curry for lunch any moment now... larger bowl for dinner.

    Wash down both with ice-cold Yuengling...

  • So will this be the "official" draft thread?   Or are we going to segment it over the 3 days with an individual thread dedicated to each day?

    I understand. To me, Winfield doesn't get past the Giants at 36 overall. I figure he won't be there for the Browns in the second round.

    Ashytyn is intriguing -  I think I like him better as a cb, who knows.

    Too productive at Safety to go back to CB, IMO...

  • Got my root beer, home made white bread, we're having rib eye chip steaks, green beans and mashed potatoes for lunch, more root beer, I'll make some cowboy coffee later for the draft with Stauffer's Apple Crisp cookies and I'm thinkin about making cinnamon rolls... hot dogs and rootbeer for tomorrow...

    nothin too fancy.

    Goin to work on the garage - keeping busy makes the draft get here faster.... I wish I had another one of those old Kardiac foam bricks to throw at the TV ... but then again, I feel pretty good I won't need it. Maybe. Unless Tiam's Jeremy Chinn gets drafted before Kyle Dugger. lol

    @calfoxwc said:

    Unless somebody gets bold, or dumb (depending on how you view both prospects draft value) that won't be a thing which is settled tonight.   

    As for Ashtyn Davis.  Physically VERY gifted and incredibly quick.   Still very raw as a safety who, strictly physically speaking, could be a single high roamer.  He has the speed, decent hips, and range to go sideline to sideline.   But at this moment he doesn't possess the eyes and IQ for it.   Nice thing is, those can be developed in players.  But at what cost are you willing to spend to find out?

    edit:  Trying to stay busy throughout the day.  Finishing some of my laundry, watching Ezra Cleveland and switched up the tunes.  I'm a CLE fan, so it has to be classic rock on draft day.  Started with some ACDC,   Bon Scott era though.   Not that I don't appreciate Brian Johnson, but 70's DC is where it's at for me.

    and she's still going to let you sleep with her? 😉 I'd be told to go sleep under your browns ?blanket...yeah, I woke up feeling-dangerous too.. Taco Bell ? for twelve draft goobers

    Did a quick review of all the "top OTs" yesterday... I'm standing pat.

    Then I watched more Muti... and I now take him with our 1st pick in Round 3.

    But they believe they would not have a bigger audience  domestically.....

    I assume they have been through all the numbers and have found whatever they may lose internationally, they more than make up for domestically.   After all, how many people in Europe and elsewhere watch the NFL draft?  A miniscule number I suspect.  Sure, you have your devotees, like yourself,  but they go where the numbers show them to go.

    OK,  it will be interesting to see where he goes....especially given his local ties.    (Dad from Akron Garfield).

    And you are saying that Ashtyn may be more versatile....which, I would think, increase his value.

    I don't think I fully read your assessment of him.   And tbh, I'm not about to now.  I'll do my watch and come back to you a bit later on him.

    The cost would be the #41 pick.....given this conversation.   And whatever money #41 is to make under the rookie pay schedule.

    You can do better than that.  Mentioning Cleveland and rocks in the same paragraph gets you there:

    Could be. But I have my doubts that the amount of people that won't watch it in EU at 8pm ET is less than the people that wouldn't watch it at 6pm ET in the US. 6pm is a fine hour for a long program like the NFL draft. The Superbowl is played at 6:30pm.

    I think it has more to do with habits. Thursday night games are played around that time, so they use the data they know.
