Should have turned it into a drinking game, a shot every time a QB not named Sanders got drafted. Just crazy

None of us can afford that medical bill.

Taking Gabriel is all you need to know about Sanders

 

[travdogg]

Gabriel is the best QB in this draft from the neck up, like a potential future HC/OC.

 

[crushedspirit]

Quinn Ewers next?

 

[travdogg]

Sam Howell to Minnesota now?

Starting to think the plan is to just call up whoever is sitting on their couch between Rodgers or Tannehill if it comes to it.

Tannehill would be perfect in my opinion

 

[Buckna]

Was not expecting Seattle for Milroe but I like it. Good chance he falls to the 3rd in SF and undrafted in most leagues

Going to be some interesting picks in the 3rd in SF, now Gabriel an interesting option/flyer

 

[skol asylum]

Theres the MN trade down

 

[travdogg]

For some reason I thought Wilson went a long time ago. Great pick for NE, can't believe the Bengals took Fairchild over him.

 

[JohnnyU]

It would be funny just seeing a head run around out there.

 

[travdogg]

Wouldn't be shocked if Watts ended up the best player from round 3. Pairing him next to Jessie Bates is gonna be scary for opposing QBs.

 

[Buckna]

Nice get for ATL there with Watts falling down so far

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Theres the MN trade down

Wouldn't be a Vikings draft without one.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Watts great pick by ATL

 

[GroveDiesel]

I think the problem for Sanders is that teams view him more as a developmental guy whose value was significantly increased by the play of Hunter. Taking a guy like that in the 2nd or 3rd round would typically be fine, but it becomes a different story when that player’s camp has made it abundantly clear that they have expectations for how he’ll be treated.

If a player is a lock to be a year 1 starter they’ll put up with some ego from a rookie QB. If he’s more likely to be a backup or a guy who is going to have to fight to beat out a mediocre vet for the starting role, I think teams are hesitant to risk alienating their locker room over a guy who might ride the bench all year.

 

[crushedspirit]

Raiders up LOL

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Tannehill would be perfect in my opinion

That’s been the rumor for a month+

 

[Buckna]

Raiders have 2 picks coming up? Sanders?!?

 

[encaitar]

Theres the MN trade down

Wouldn't be a Vikings draft without one.

Freakin Atlanta... I wanted Watts.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Raiders have 2 picks coming up? Sanders?!?

My raider fan friends have said they wouldn’t mind it.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Now or never, right?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Texans traded back, then traded up twice.

Did they come out ahead from all those shenanigans?

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Now or never, right?

Gotta be here

 

[GregR]

Texans trade up to 3.33 (97) from Minny. Looks like Houston gave... 102, 142, and got 97 and a 6th?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Now or never, right?

I mean, there are more rounds.

 

[travdogg]

Another WR wouldn't hurt for Vegas.

 

[BassNBrew]

Eagles take Sanders at 101.

 

[Donnybrook]

If the Vikings are taking a RB, they can be fairly confident that the Raiders and Eagles aren't taking one. Right?

 

[GregR]

Texans traded back, then traded up twice.

Did they come out ahead from all those shenanigans?

I can't even tell anymore. Here's their picks coming and going throughout the night:

• Round 1, No. 2 (traded to NYG)
• Round 2, Pick 34 (From NYG) - WR Jayden Higgins, Iowa State
• Round 2, No 48 (From LV) - OT Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota
• Round 2, No. 58 (traded to LV)
• Round 3, No. 79 (from WAS) - WR Jaylon Noel, Iowa State
• Round 3, No. 89 (traded to JAX)
• Round 3, No 99 (From NYG traded to LV)
• Round 3, No 97 (from MIN) - CB Jaylin Smith, USC
• Round 3, No 102 (from JAX to MIN)
• Round 5, No 142 (from JAX to MIN)
• Round 6, No. 179 (from CLE)
• Round 6, No 187 (from Minny)
• Round 6, No 216 (from CLE)
• Round 7, No. 236 (from WAS)
• Round 7, No. 241
• Round 7, No 255 (From CLE)

 

[Ministry of Pain]

So how much money do we think Sanders has lost with this fall?

Is there a bottom?
The reality is after the 1st round it doesn't matter, he's almost better off at this point going UDFA so he's a free agent inside of 3 seasons
He must have really left a bad impression on the teams he spoke with, guess the Pro Day didn't do much to help his cause either

I thought he was over hyped but I never saw this much of a free fall coming

 

[skol asylum]

Great trade Kwesi.

Texans trade up with the Vikings in Round 3
Texans get: Nos. 97, 187

Vikings get: Nos. 102, 142

 

[CletiusMaximus]

NFLN is in death watch mode because Sanders hasn’t been picked yet.

Yeah discussion of his potentially returning to college.

Dude was siting in the draft room on day 1.

Ouch.

Does he have legibility? Would make more NIL than his NFL paycheck.

He hasn't signed a contract yet so too early to know

They came in to say he could *not* go back to college.

He’d have to get a new number.

 

[Jppaul]

Raiders should take Quinn ewers

 

[BassNBrew]

So how much money do we think Sanders has lost with this fall?

He's taking a substantial pay cut from last year. Last year he made $6.5 million, this year. Last year pick 100 got a four year deal for $6 million.

His NIL income doesn’t go to zero in the NFL. A low draft pick doesn’t help but he’ll still have good brand revenue regardless.

Sure, I'd hire him for $100 to sit in one of my open houses for 2 hours as long as he brought the leftover snacks and drinks back to the office.

 

[crushedspirit]

LMAO

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

NFLN and ESPN gonna blow up. No Sanders through 3

Anyone check on Mel ????

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Raiders double tap the OL & Prime is big mad at Brady.

 

[Donnybrook]

Raiders should take Quinn ewers

Don't understand the appeal.

 

[travdogg]

Elic Ayomanor still being there is a surprise to me. Basically Romeo Doubs plus with elite blocking ability.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Oh my. We are into round 4 since these are compensation picks. No one would have predicted this.

 

[rockaction]

He must have really left a bad impression on the teams he spoke with

Tell me what he said to those NFL teams so I don't make the same mistake with St. Peter.

 

[Buckna]

Texans trade up to 3.33 (97) from Minny. Looks like Houston gave... 102, 142, and got 97 and a 6th?

If so, I don't like it at all. Basically moved back 8 spots to gain a 6th. Paid as much to move back up as they got to originally move back. Reminds me of the bad Metchie trade a few years ago. And everything I am reading says this corner was a 5th or 6th round guy.

Edit: I am now finding some articles saying he was a big sleeper and could go as early as late 3rd. He had visits with at least 7 teams including the Texans.

 

[travdogg]

Bradyn Swinson is a bit of surprise faller too. Good size, and 9 sacks at LSU last year.

 

[bigbottom]

Holy crap. Might be time for a Bradyfan83 reboot.

 

[travdogg]

Upton Stout is now the 2nd guy I've never heard of. Both guys were 49ers picks. Interesting.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Upon Stout?

I know nothing about this dude. But he’s a CB, so I’ll trust Saleh.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Upton Stout is now the 2nd guy I've never heard of. Both guys were 49ers picks. Interesting.

They have film on him, so

And he’s a better pick than Sanders.

 

[-OZ-]

Pretty sure I sampled one of those the other night. A bit of a burnt taste to it, 3 stars.

 

[fatness]

Upon Stout?

They have enough players now so they're drafting beers.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Miami has the 115 and not a lot at QB when you factor in Tua's injury probability and history
I'd be Ok if they took Sanders at this point, with Tua's injury history and probability they might need him

Sometimes you are trading to just buy time.

Upon Stout?

I know nothing about this dude. But he’s a CB, so I’ll trust Saleh.

Actually he was the best pick relative to ranking outside of their 1st rounder.
