🏈🏈🏈 OFFICIAL 2024 NFL DRAFT THREAD - LIVE FROM MOTOWN 🏈🏈🏈 (1 Viewer)

[Zeppelin]

There were 275K in attendance at the draft, plus thousands more in other parts of downtown Detroit. There were only two arrests all day/night and both were for minor instances.

That is amazing. Well done Detroit.

Any afternoon trades going down?

I might keep posting just to annoy you

Please do not do that.

Are you telling me not to post draft picks in spoiler tags if I do it with a little spite behind it?

Lol, get real.

I'm telling you not to post just to annoy other posters.

TRADE ALERT

Vikings traded 23, 167, 2025 3rd and 4th to the Jags for the 17th

It does seem like a lot, but it’s actually pretty much on point if you believe the drafttek chart

that chart is garbage.

What are you basing that on?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I’ve changed my mind. Despite Michael Silver’s reporting, I am of the belief that the 49ers will NOT trade Deebo today.

I don’t see a team giving up picks, absorbing Deebo’s salary AND having to give him a raise, ala Diggs.

I also think the 49ers correctly deduced that lacking another receiver who could beat man was a detriment, and that teams will copy the Chiefs to shut them down if they don’t have another good route runner, which the rookie most certainly is.

 

[themeistersinger]

I just want to say as a Bills fan I’m glad they traded from 32 to 33. Today was a lot more fun speculating than would be the case with people just complaining about who we took at 32

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Kind of an aside... Why does night one have to start so damn late? Texting with my peeps last night, the general consensus was "I'm so tired. I'm struggling mightily to get to the end of this round."

Well not everyone is the eastern time zone…plus prime time ratings

No kidding about time zones.

11:00 and 12:00 is not prime time.

 

[menobrown]

IMO the biggest night of the draft for dynasty leagues. Let’s go, hoping for some good RB landing slots.

Well, it gives more prime time to other time zones.

I would be curious to know what the ratings would be like of the last hour regardless of time. Kind of think that would they would go down a fair amount anyway

It would be fine if they didn’t waste so much goddang time between picks. Dragging the draft out is not necessarily a good thing. Its even worse for the people actually AT the draft.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Who will be the first RB to go? And when/where?

NFL Draft Odds: RB

 

[Mister CIA]

Keon Coleman is a BIll.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Terrible pick IMO. Slow receiver that can’t get separation at the college level. Really don’t like this for the Bills.

 

[GregR]

Who will be the first RB to go? And when/where?

Las Vegas, pick 44.

 

[GregR]

Patriots traded pick 34 to Chargers.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

I'm fading Coleman bigtime. Hopefully the landing spot pushes him up and pushes some other guys down.

 

[Mister CIA]

Terrible pick IMO. Slow receiver that can’t get separation at the college level. Really don’t like this for the Bills.

Don't want to drift too far off topic, but I like this for Shakir.

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

I can't complain. McConkey was my top choice, but Coleman was #2. My biggest complaint is that he's a lot like Shorter.

 

[Truebluey]

Gotta take a good wr. They take McConkey

 

[Mister CIA]

Ladd McConkey to Chargers. He has entered my internal chat disccussing the 1.05.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Helluva pick for the Chargers. Noting him for my league draft. Great spot.

It does seem like a lot, but it’s actually pretty much on point if you believe the drafttek chart

that chart is garbage.

What are you basing that on?

The hit rates. What are your odds of a stud with a late 1 and a 2 vs. a mid-ish one? And then fctor in the chance of getting TWO studs with two picks.
I've ALWAYS believed 1s are over-valued in the NFL

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Man remember when 3rd year WR breakout was the standard? Now they've mentioned multiple times on this broadcast how teams are looking at WR because it's one of the easiest positions to step in and have an immediate impact. How things have changed.

 

[Mongidig]

Spencer Rattler for ATL here pick 35?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

LAC gets a nice WR

 

[irish eyes]

Are the trade particulars just not available to ESPN? No info on who gave up what

 

[GregR]

Falcons trade up to snag 35th pick
Falcons receive: 35th, 186th overall picks
Cardinals receive: 43rd, 79th overall picks

We have our first trade of Round 2
Chargers receive: 34th, 137th overall pick
Patriots receive: 37th, 110th overall pick

 

[JohnnyU]

Terrible pick IMO. Slow receiver that can’t get separation at the college level. Really don’t like this for the Bills.

I agree. I hope teams in my leagues gobble him up

 

[Mister CIA]

Ruke Ruhroh?

That's cause of the rule changes most likely

Used to be a lot of teams didn’t have pro-style offenses. A lot of those 2 years of seasoning was learning an NFL-style playbook and letting the game slow down for them.

I still think there’s a 3rd year boost where receivers get more acclimated. But they’re seemingly coming into the league more seasoned.

They don’t want to give these guys announcing the pick too much to say is my opinion.

 

[SoBeDad]

Ruke Ruhroh?

I selected him for the Dolphins in the early 3rd round of our FBG 3 round mock draft. Another head scratcher. Late 2nd early 3rd rating. Good run stopper.

Not really. It's because of the changes in the college game.

 

[GregR]

My new pet peeve is people, being broadcast on national TV, bothering to take a selfie of the moment.

IT IS ON NATIONAL TV. RECORD IT AND GET A SCREENSHOT.

Eta: and I love Green

Shorter isn’t making the active roster.

 

[BassNBrew]

Dang....wanted Newton to slide.
