When does it actually start? Not the pomp and circumstance, not pretending like we haven't known 1.1 is Mendoza for the last two months... When will the Jets be on the clock? O/U 8:25pm?

Do the Raiders go on the clock right at 8:00pm when it starts? If so, I would guess the real draft starts around 8:05 or 8:10.

The Raiders traded DOWN ?    WHAT?   

 

Just kidding.      But if anyone would it would be them.

After all the rumors today I’m imagining Brad rushing the stage, grabbing the mic from Roger Goodell, and saying “I’d like to announce a trade.”

[Mr.TaterSalad]

It's Mendoza #1 overall to no one's surprise. An Indiana QB going #1 overall is pretty unreal. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

No run on offensive tackles please and thank you! Let them all fall to Brad.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

I think we end up taking an offensive tackle when push comes to shove if the one they like is there. I still think they like Borom as a starter if the right guy doesn't fall to them. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Dumb pick by the Cardinals. Way too high for a RB. They should have taken a lineman, offensive or defensive. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Would you sell the farm and trade up for Arvell Reese if he fell beyond the top 6?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

What a dumb pick by the Titans. 

[Motown Bombers]

I wouldn't trade up for a player coached by Matt Patricia. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Delane would have been there at #9

[Mr.TaterSalad]

This board is falling nicely for the Lions. No offensive lineman taken yet. 

[wolverinefan]

Delane would've been there at 9 don't you think?

💯 I think he would have been. That was an unnecessary trade for them.

[Motown Bombers]

I think the Browns could go tackle here. 

[Motown Bombers]

Here's the run on tackles. 

[Jason_R]

The run on tackles has begun.

Yeah, it seems it has. Fudge. 

[4hzglory]

Bain and Downs still on the board.

Were both anyway.

At least we won’t end up with Proctor
