2018 NFL Draft

[Reds Fanatic]

I did not see one so I thought I would start a thread for discussion of the draft

[RedsBaron]

I am shocked that the Browns took Mayfield.

[Rojo Rijo]

Wow. I love Mayfield but I did not see him as the #1 overall guy.

I like it, they aren’t trying to get fancy and too cute. There’s a aura anytime Mayfields on the field. I’m glad he’s gone.

The Browns took Mayfield at 1? Really?!?!

[Reds Fanatic]

I don't know about the Mayfield pick but I think the Browns will regret not taking Barkley. They could have taken Barkley and still got a QB at 4

I think the Jets would have taken Mayfield at 3 but I agree on Barkley.

I’m betting this pick is Bradley Chubb.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow Denzel Ward of OSU. Yes I thought it would be Chubb too

[Slyder]

Let Chubb fall!

Bills trade up to get the 7th pick

[klw]

Colts getting offensive line help with Nelson seems like a perfect fit


I agree that Mayfield at 1 is stretch. should have gone with Barkley. The 4 qbs at don't seem like there is clear one. Taking Mayfield doesnt maximize the value of the pick.

Allen over Rosen is insane.

[Slyder]

Allen over Rosen is insane.

No it’s not. Rosen is the most overrated prospect since Jawalrus Russell. Allen played in a pro system that worked down the field a TON. Buffalo got the next Cam, he’s got the Sisteen Chapel of an upside.

Browns gonna Brown.

[Reds Fanatic]

Here comes another QB as the Cardinals trade up to 10 - Rosen to the Cardinals

Allen will be lucky to be Jake Locker, what an insult to Cam Newton this post is.

He has the highest upside outside of Lamar Jackson. He could also be the biggest bust.

I think he’s a better fit for Buffalo weather than Rosen is.

[Ohayou]

Saints killin' it lately.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bills just traded up for the 2nd time tonight

[WVRed]

Bills trade for the Ravens pick. I’m betting the Bills leap the Bengals for Ragnow.

[WVRed]

Nevermind. Bills are the early winners of this draft.

[RichRed]

Curse the Browns for letting the Giants get Barkley. Can't wait to watch him run all over my Skins twice a year, that'll be fun.

[Boston Red]

Jaire Alexander seems a bit early, no? Certainly didn't expect him to be the top draftee from Louisville.

[WVRed]

Steelers just traded Martavis Bryant to Oakland for a third round pick. Gruden building a solid receiving corps.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ragnow goes one pick before the Bengals.

Bengals now on the clock

[WVRed]

Ragnow to the Lions. This is a family friendly board so I’ll bite my tongue.

[ScotlandRed]

Rashaan Evans for the Bengals anyone?

[texasdave]

Ragnow to the Lions. This is a family friendly board so I’ll bite my tongue.

Same as it ever was. Watch him become a perennial Pro-Bowler.

[WVRed]

Rashaan Evans for the Bengals anyone?

James Daniels

On a side note, it seems like it’s a yearly tradition that ESPN goes to commercial break when the Bengals pick?

And it’s Price.

[Reds Fanatic]

Billy Price from Ohio State to the Bengals. Good pick

[WVRed]

Billy Price from Ohio State to the Bengals. Good pick

I posted in the Bengals thread how I usually don’t like Ohio State players being pushed by fans, especially when Boom Herron was the only Buckeye taken in the Marvin era. Price is an exception. With Ragnow off the board, he’s a better fit than Daniels. Just hope he’s healed by training camp.

According to his doctor's he is supposed to be ready by July

NFL teams are being notified today that Ohio State OL Billy Price, who suffered an incomplete pec tear at the combine, is expected to be ready for training camp in July without restriction, per his doctor’s letter.

[Tony Cloninger]

I like the pick but talk about frustrating again that another 1st pick is already injured.

[redsfandan]

How far is Jackson going to fall? And, if he's still there, would the Browns consider him for their next pick? lol

[Boston Red]

That would be amazing. Two Heisman QBs for the same team in the same draft.

[Reds Fanatic]

I have a feeling the Patriots take him with their next pick tonight if he gets that far

My Raider Grade:
-The trade down with what was on the board.... B- Really hoped to get an extra 2nd.
-Edmunds on the board when we pick again... EXTATIC!
-The pick... *sigh*
-Watching some tape and on just about every pass play he was pushed into Rosen's lap on almost everyone one. Looks fine on the run. D-
-Hearing we traded a 3rd for Bryant (hopefully he lays off the weed). GREAT!

Still upset we passed on Edmunds for a guy who needs a complete rebuild on his pass blocking.

[WVRed]

Or the Steelers.

[redsfandan]

Yeah, probably. I just took another look and it looks like it could be them or one or two other teams.

[WVRed]

Seahawks are getting lit again for their pick of Rashad Penny. Reminds me of Bruce Irvin all over again.

[WVRed]

Terrell Edmunds picked by the Steelers announced by Shazier.

[Reds Fanatic]

Sony Michel to the Patriots. I guess Jackson is going to fall out of the first round

[redsfandan]

NE passed on Jackson. So, . . . the Giants could get Jackson after taking Barkley.

[WVRed]

Sony Michel to the Patriots. I guess Jackson is going to fall out of the first round

Unless the Eagles trade out of it.

[WVRed]

Ravens just traded back up. This could be Jackson.

[Reds Fanatic]

Eagles trade it to the Ravens. Could it be Jackson to the Ravens

[WVRed]

And it is.

[redsfandan]

Unless the Eagles trade out of it.

And now that's done. Does Baltimore take Jackson? lol

[WVRed]

Ugh, between losing out on Ragnow and now Jackson to the Ravens, I think I’m going to be sick.

Fudge! The Ravens suck. lol

[redsfandan]

The last time five quarterbacks were taken in the 1st round was in '99 (Tim Couch, Donovan McNabb, Akili Smith, Daunte Culpepper, & Cade McNown). None have been elected to the HOF but two (McNabb & Culpepper) were pro bowlers.

Six quarterbacks were taken in '83, which is the most ever (John Elway, Todd Blackledge, Jim Kelly, Tony Eason, Ken O'Brien & . . . Dan Marino). Four played in the Super Bowl, four were selected to play in the Pro Bowl, and three have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame

[kaldaniels]

I mean you want a confident quarterback but Josh Rosen is really grating with his remarks.

Personality wise, Rosen reminds me of Jay Cutler. I really never liked Jay Cutler.

[JaxRed]

I thought the same thing.

[Kingspoint]

Nevermind. Bills are the early winners of this draft.

When you can tell me what the Bills are doing, really doing, we'll both know.

I don't like much of what Gruden is doing. Don't think he has a clue anymore (and hasn't for many, many years).

Raiders attacked both sides of the Line, and in principle, that's a high floor move, but, move after move by Gruden seems to be undoing the growth the Raiders had made the last three years.

I can't say I'm a fan either. If he hadn't been given a 10 year contract I'd think he was only brought in to bring attention to the team as they moved to Vegas.

So, that's what they've been doing...

From Rotoworld with Rotoworld comments:

Bills president and CEO Russ Brandon resigned on Tuesday.

Per the Buffalo News, Brandon's resignation came following "an internal investigation into Brandon’s workplace behavior and allegations of personal misconduct." Reportedly, it was triggered by allegations of inappropriate relationships with female employees. Brandon initially denied the relationships when confronted by Bills owner Kim Pegula, but he has since left his post. Brandon was with the team for nearly 21 years and ran the club during previous owner Ralph Wilson's final years before the Pegulas bought the team.
