Fuck off Bears, just let me watch the draft. Oh wow, I thought this is when Jones would be taken. A little surprised by the Fields pick.

Parsons going to Dallas. Nice. I have a feeling that Bill Belichick is a little disappointed.

This is the front office basically admitting that either the Jaylon Smith extension or the Vander Esch pick was a mistake. Definitely don't want to succumb to the sunk cost fallacy here, but the average base defense in today's NFL is the nickel, so somebody is going to be situational. Smith is so fucking awful in coverage and overall awareness, I don't see his value in sub packages except short yardage.

Mac Jones to New England makes too much sense given the Belichick-Saban connection, so it's unlikely to happen given the Patriots' propensity to surprise on draft day.

Also I'd have to look up the source, but I believe this is the first time in about 40 years that a defender didn't go in the top 7.

I put my autism to use over the past few minutes. I looked at every draft on Wikipedia all the way back to 1961. There wasn't a single one where a defender didn't go in the first 7 picks. The closest to that happening was in 1999 when the Redskins took Champ Bailey at #7.

Nice pick for the Chargers getting help for Herbert and the line.
 
Jets swapping with the Vikings here. Mac Jones is going to be just waiting for Jones.

Edit: good on them to protect Wilson. I wonder if Cincy will doing something soon with there being two more guys who are more or less sure 1st round linesmen left.

If Rodgers is able to escape Green Bay, the Packers won't stand a chance against the Bears in 2021.

They will absolutely run away with that division if Rodgers moves on. They made the playoffs last year with a Trubisky/Foles tandem, so Dalton/Fields is a major upgrade. Fields should start week one, imo, but they could still ease him in if they wanted to.
 
Man they picked the wrong fucking spokesman for food insecurity.

Of course the Pats get the most pro-ready QB besides Lawrence without even having to trade up.

A little surprised that Leatherwood is this high to Vegas. Guess the Bengals won't be trading up late in the round to get him like I mentioned earlier lol.

Teven Jenkins and Sam Cosmi are OTs who might be worth trading up for given the semi-run on OL. I'm definitely biased in favor of Cosmi as he played for my alma mater, but I think he projects as a decent RT or guard as a pro. A bit too slight for LT though.

I can't believe the first pure edge rusher went at 18. I know it's a weak class for the position, but given the relative value of rush guys, it's still crazy it took this long to see one drafted.
 
Oh wow, I expected the Giants to go with a receiver here, but I didn't see Kadarius Toney going this high. I actually thought Najee Smith would be a good pick here with him being such a dynamic back as well as insurance for Barkley.

I'm really high on Rondale Moore from Purdue at receiver, but he's a tiny dude in the Tavon Austin mold, so I'm not surprised a more muscular slot guy like Toney went ahead of him.

Bateman from Minnesota is more of an outside receiver and I'd be surprised if he doesn't get drafted tonight.
