Open 2019 NFL Draft Thread

I think Rosen's status after today is one of the most interesting stories of this draft. Only about 150 minutes until the draft starts and he still hasn't been traded. Of course, there's no more drama to the first pick once he's traded; so maybe he already has and Goodell made them keep the trade quiet for the ratings. It's just the kind of d-bag move I'd expect from Goodell.

I have to say I was hoping FO would drop another fake mock draft. The Pats drafting Thanos, with Belichick apologizing for picking the guy who made Gronk disappear, would have been awesome.

Who am I kidding, the Jets would have picked Thanos, and the Pats would have taken the Infinity Gauntlet afterward. You know, the thing without which Thanos is almost useless.

I would love to see a front office have the balls to pound a position through all 3 days. I wish my Raiders had drafted 5 DBs a few years ago...

Will,

As one Vikes fan to another "good luck".

I would have swung that trade because I wasn't high on Chubb. Shows you that I know nothing. In other news, I inherited a rather painful metal seat to sit on last week.

There's no excuse for not taking that deal.

I'm becoming increasingly concerned that maybe the Broncos' FO stumbled into Peyton and isn't actually that bright.

I generally think that is wrong. The broncos probably said if their guy was there.
Their guy was either Baker or Sam. He was gone, but Chubb who they thought would be gone wasn't, so they basically lied about who their guy had been. ( Not saying the report is wrong, but that the broncos lied about it,)

Regardless, I wish they had made that deal

Day 1: Round 1. Thursday April 25th at 8 p.m. Eastern. Time per pick: 10 minutes per pick.
Day 2: Rounds 2 & 3. Friday April 26th at 7 p.m. Eastern. 7 minutes for round 2; 5 minutes for round 3
Day 3: Rounds 4 through 7. Saturday April 27th at 12 p.m. Eastern. 5 minutes for rounds 4-6; 4 minutes for round 7

Yeah the draft is the worst for this. I can't watch more than 2-3 minutes and am always amazed at the ratings it gets.

I'm really surprised they didn't move him before the draft, seems fairly incompetent but what do I know.

Yes.
He's had a terrible situation, and is super cheap (rookie deals are mostly signing bonus, so the new team just pays low salary), and reasonable upside. Kc just paid out the wazoo for the right to overpay Frank Clark. Rosen for a two is a good deal

1. Probably QB-needy teams preferred some of the rookies, and so wanted to wait to see how those would fall. For instance, Washington might've had "trade for Rosen" as a backup plan in case they didn't get Haskins, which made them more comfortable waiting for Haskins to fall to them rather than trading up. I'm guessing that Arizona didn't make a trade because they weren't getting very good pre-draft offers.
2. Arizona doesn't need to be desperate to trade Rosen away. Waiting a year or two shouldn't hurt his trade value, while they have him he's a cheap backup QB, and he is a Cousins-type plan B in case their RG3-type plan A doesn't pan out.

Not quite, but Josh Allen has been drafted at #7 overall two years in a row

Me and my big laptop

Broncos (my team) picking "please be a trade please be a trade please be a trade"
"We have our first trade"
!!!!!

Then the Raiders take a running back that BackCast hates, too.

Gruden gonna Gruden.

He went to high school there. He probably knows a lot of Skins fans. He's only ever known a Dan Snyder-owned Skins team. He knows.

Yeah, I love Savage's game. He was my draft crush.

He's the medias whipping boy but.....he ran a VERY sophisticated Duke system under
Cutliffe....I'd wait a while before I get a coronary :)

Well, except maybe Sweat, whom the 'Skins took, but I like two second round picks better.

Hockenson is OK but not at 8 and not with Ed Oliver and Brian Burns still available

plus GM (Keim) decided to "shop" Rosen the night before draft!
Now he'll get next-2-nothing for a 2018 1st rounder.....my take is Murray
will be ok at QB, not exceptional/long term, and Keim'll be booted out
rather quickly....AZ will have much more instability than need be.

Haskins at 15 isn't an overdraft, most years that's "best of the rest" for QBs, and in a better year, that's roughly what he'd have been.
