" The Falcons knew they had to get in front of Minnesota to select Trufant. The Vikings had the 23rd and 25th picks." -- nm - David Apr 25, 21:24
I'm somewhat befuddled by the bears pick. Was he projected first round? I get the athleticism and potential, but with a resume that thin is he going - pmb Apr 25, 21:21 2
- I have to be honest that I'm not crazy about it either. - David Apr 25, 21:27 1
  - That's my thought. Probably could have traded down and still got him. I also wanted to see them go defense, though I get that with all they've - pmb Apr 25, 21:30
I think a team with an older QB should take Barkley. I think he's got a good upside if he rides the pine for a year or two. - Bacon Apr 25, 21:01
Seeing Twitter scuttlebutt that Cumberbatch may actually be playing.... (Potential big spoiler if scuttlebutt is right.) - Name Withheld By Request Apr 25, 20:58 10
- that would be seriously dumb. -- nm - Reagen Apr 25, 21:01 8
  - Right? It needs to be McAvoy! Obv -- nm - con_carne Apr 25, 21:05 1
    - He's not Harry Mudd? - amoxy Apr 25, 21:09
  - Don't you sorta get the sense that the producers feel themselves clever enough to pull it off? - Name Withheld By Request Apr 25, 21:03 4
    - No. There is zero reason to do it. One of the strengths of the "reboot" is that it can go anywhere. - Spawn Apr 25, 21:05 1
      - And... - tl Apr 25, 21:19
    - I'm reminded of the Dexter show runners two seasons ago. -- nm - Reagen Apr 25, 21:05 1
      - Yeah, the shit they pulled with Dee Dee was just *stupid*. -- nm - Spawn Apr 25, 21:06
  - "from the writers of Transformers 2" -- nm - charlie Apr 25, 21:03
- I had heard that but dismissed it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 25, 20:59
[deleted] 5
- I hope he takes his baby bottle with him. -- nm - Flavorize w/fava beans Apr 25, 20:56
- Saying stupid things always makes your draft stock go up. Your agent might need to tell you to, SHUT THE FUCK UP -- nm - Bacon Apr 25, 20:55
- LOFL -- nm - Spawn Apr 25, 20:54 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - I would love to hear the War Room of the team that was planning to take him this weekend. -- nm - Spawn Apr 25, 20:57
So, no furlough for Mrs.V at the DOJ. Holder moved some money around. Plus, the Senate today stopped the FAA furloughs. - Dr.Vermin Apr 25, 20:53 3
- That's a shame as it was working for me. Four flights this week, all of which took off on time and three of which arrived early. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 25, 21:09
- Fox hasn't figured out the negative spin yet. -- nm - tl Apr 25, 20:57 1
  - Maybe should listen to CNN's breaking news and say the opposite. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 06:24
why only one QB? were Nassib et al overrated or what - help me understand -- nm - mud Apr 25, 20:52 9
- I was gonna say zero QBs, but knew that could not happen. - Spawn Apr 25, 20:56 1
  - I think the Bills reached out of desperation. They should have traded down, or gotten a QB in the 2nd round. -- nm - Bacon Apr 25, 20:57
- None of these QBs is particularly well liked so it's not a total shock. - David Apr 25, 20:55 6
  - Eventually we will see spread offense in the NFL. - Spawn Apr 25, 21:01 4
    - but it's not like defenses are getting *slower*. -- nm - Reagen Apr 25, 21:03 1
      - Speed works against a defense sometmes when they overplay the fake -- nm - Bacon via Droid Apr 25, 21:09
    - There are hybrids of it now. Philly comes on board next year as well. - Bacon Apr 25, 21:02 1
      - Yeah, I mean a truer form, but you are right. -- nm - Spawn Apr 25, 21:04
  - ah, okay. thanks -so different last year -- nm - mud Apr 25, 20:59
*looks at the top of the page* Isn't it Spring? -- nm - Dano Apr 25, 20:52 1
- April ain't over till it's over. (I think I have a couple candidate photos to replace it) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 20:56
the STers who are against the spread of online education really don't need to be watching Charlie Rose tonight -- nm - con_carne Apr 25, 20:52 2
- Ooh, nice. I will check that out. -- nm - Dr.Vermin (pro-spread) Apr 25, 20:55 1
  - (*pretty sure* it is tonight's...) - con_carne Apr 25, 21:00
Who is the bigger fail tonight. Teo or Gino? I guess having a fake girlfriend is a million dollar mistake -- nm - Bacon Apr 25, 20:48 4
- I actually think Nassib absorbed the worst body blow tonight. -- nm - David Apr 25, 20:49 3
  - Though in public name recognition he won't take the most heat in the media. -- nm - Bacon Apr 25, 20:50 2
    - Media noise doesn't matter to me. Nassib's head coach just picked a total stranger instead of him. - David Apr 25, 20:52 1
      - I agree on that Alabama game. Throw in the life drama and I am not shocked he fell. -- nm - Bacon Apr 25, 20:54
Tally by Conference: SEC (12), ACC (6), Pac-12 (5), Big 12 (3), Independents (2), MAC/CUSA/Big East/B1G (1). -- nm - budice Apr 25, 20:46 1

- I want that Rams player -- nm - Bacon Apr 25, 20:49
- Quo Vadimus draft will be bloody. -- nm - David Apr 25, 20:49 1
  - this is what I'm saying. -- nm - Reagen Apr 25, 20:52

Jerry trying to out think the room again. Fail -- nm - Bacon Apr 25, 20:44 3
- Yeah, that was the "LOFL". -- nm - Spawn Apr 25, 20:45 2
  - He's not Al Davis yet, but give him a couple more years and he might just get the hang of it. -- nm - Bacon Apr 25, 20:47 1
    - Hey now, I have a War Room and everything! - Jerry Jones Apr 25, 20:53
OK, I think that got it fixed up. One of the methods I use for monitoring the system went haywire after an update. Disabled it now. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 20:44 3
