12 Longhorns drafted. I think they've had more players drafted in the last 2 years, than the previous 5 years combined.

There were almost as many this year (12) as there were from 2019-2023 (15.) There were as many or more first round picks this year (3) than total picks in three of those 2019-2023 draft years. First rounders alone from the past two years (5) would've equalled a third of the total picks from between 2019-2023.

Did we check to make sure Mel Kiper stopped crying about Shedeur? I saw a clip of him bitching that nobody in the NFL knows how to evaluate QBs and memories of Jimmy Clausen kept flashing in my mind

I know no one has taken Mel Kiper seriously in decades, if ever, but Shedeur falling to the 5th round really highlights the absurdity. I've got no idea why ESPN has kept him around other than name recognition, and it's not like it's positive. He's not a reporter. He sucks as a draft analyst. He doesn't scout players. He has no football experience outside of making mock drafts. Plus, I just found out he got into all this because he's Jewish and some other Jew told him there's going to be a market for draft information. (Jesus Christ.) He brings nothing to the table other than mock drafts and there's a zillion other people who do that better than him.

Ewers should've transferred. He would've had another year to pad his numbers, and make twice what he will now make in the NFL. :lol:

What a retard. I didn't realize he was a junior. Before the NIL, I could understand why a mid-round, fringe guy would opt out of their senior year, but now it makes no sense. Apparently, he turned down an 8 million dollar transfer offer?

My crackpot theory is that they saw Pickett not totally shit the bed in week 17 against the Cowboys before he got pulled for injury, and think they can make enough of a showing with him early in the season to flip for some draft picks before the deadline to a team that's lost their starter to injury, if not next off-season.

Of course this is also retarded, he was behind our insane Oline and was up against a 7-10 Cowboys team that was playing for nothing at that point, and even then he got showed up by Tanner Mckee coming in to make 2TDs off of 3 completions (This kid will start somewhere eventually, and he will be nasty).

It wouldn't shock me if that's the grand plan at this point, but it's highly optimistic. The Browns are already at negative leverage because teams know the Browns will be forced to cut their undesirable QB (whoever that is, other than Flacco), even if they're goal is to stash that QB on the practice squad.

Then, it's completely reliant on Pickett balling so light's out that it leads another team to believe he's a better option than a team's QB2. A QB2 whose already integrated with the team, culture, scheme, etc since at least training camp. It'd be more likely if Pickett was a relatively unknown commodity, but I don't think any team will invest draft capital as a short-term plan.

I didn't know about that monster offer.:O He was either highly misinformed about his draft stock, or did not listen to advice.

That’s funny. I’d say that his “don’t tip the cow, observing is funny enough” mantra is what every kiwi abides by. Guess it goes to show how much people here hate Shadeur Sanders.

Dude jumped on the "Matt Ariaza is a rapist!" bandwagon before any of the evidence came out and now he wants to get on his soapbox and wag his finger over a prank call? Fuck Tree.

You make it sound like the man should be on thread watch. Except the guy knows to not bring up too much of his offline problems .

And for those keeping score at home, 5 QBs went before Shadeur Sanders. And this QB class was said to be pretty damn weak.

And as the biological drive of European Exploration drove his ancestors to endeavor to set foot in parts unknonwn, so to does the North American Hog Mollie (Porcinus Americanus) seek new pastures with fresh soil to till, set pockets, and make pancake blocks among. This exceptional specimen has decided to brave the cold unforgiving north of Detroit in search of glory. Far from his southern whelping grounds. Does he have the grit and toughness to become the next great Detroit Lions Offensive linemane? Only time will tell...

Deep in my heart I know their main reason for drafting him is that his neck is bigger than Dan Campbell's. You can hang a tire swing off that thing and have 3 fat kids jump on it.

You know his origin story is just being a really autistic and annoying guy that would pester GMs about who they should draft? He literally has no experience playing, coaching, or even commentating football. He was just a dork that watched a lot of college ball and send out unsolicited advice to teams front offices so much that when ESPN got the rights to televise the draft they pushed him as THE draft guy.

Have you seen who ESPN puts on their network? ESPN moved on from showing sports and having good commentary about the events happening to replace them with loud, retarded, talking heads that will create controversy because instagram and youtube comments are better than making an actual product

Literally everyone in "sportstube" other than Perna is, and that's really just because he knows to keep it in his pants and keep it entertaining rather than moralize. I remember some co-stream him and Grossi did awhile ago, where he was trying to get people to retweet something to get Jon Gruden's attention because he wanted to collab with him, and Tom was soying out about the emails and him being racist.

Then again Grossi was soying out about how uncomfortable their new kicker being an accused rapist was making him, until he gave them a walk-off field goal one game, and he never brought it up again lol.

That makes sense. I just have no idea how he's still THE draft guy at ESPN. Especially ever since the NFL draft began turning into the event it is now, 20+ years ago. Kiper's time of being the only fish in the pond ended well before even then, and it's not like he brings anything to the table other than having done it forever (poorly). He doesn't add any additional insight whatsoever and I'd trust most of the Xitter breaking news jews analysis over whatever Kiper is blabbing about. (Except Shultz. He was having a meltdown in Xitter over Shedeur which begs the question... What does Deion have on these people????)

What I'm trying to get at is there are dozens and dozens of people already in media who do what Kiper does, but infinitely better, much less the amount of giga-autists on the Internet. I acknowledge the belief that ESPN thinks people associate the NFL draft with Kiper since he's been covering it for eons, but I'm pretty sure (aka hope) that people associate Kiper with being a retard more than the draft. Shit, I remember people clowning on him on a football forum I was on in the early 2000s.

----Fun sidenote, this was when my hatred of ESPN and especially Chris Berman began. I fucking HATED how he'd pretentiously imply who the picks were moments before the pick was announced. I wanted the announcement to let me know who was being picked, not some smug kike who'd say "well let's see if this team will draft X position or Y player" right before a team drafts X position or Y player. This was well before the draft was available on multiple outlets or picks were leaked on Xitter.----

There's no way he's worth the pay check and I hope he's not still doing all this out of passion. If that's the case, it just makes everything worse.

Eh, you're right. I'm treating ESPN like an idealized, serious sports media and not whatever the fuck it is now. The only thing they produce that's relatively decent is The Pat McAfee show, and that's due to either AJ Hawk being cool or them laughing about Dan Orlovsky shitting himself on camera.

What a fag. He's basically a /r/nfl Reddit thread. The circlejerk is a cycle unto itself.

- Allegations come out on player.
-"Player bad"
- Nothing happens and time passes.
- Player reenters spotlight.
- "wow how how could they do this??? Player bad!!!"
- Allegations get proven false
- "wow guys, maybe we shouldn't jump to conclusions immediately"
- Player bad and cycle begins anew.

The only things worse are events where nignog dindunuffins and he only did it because racism or any time there's a right-wing slant. Especially Trump related. I always get a trip out of seeing a thread locked with 50x more posts than any other thread in the same timeframe all because the title implies politics.
