And there you go - like I said in my preview, there are many teams who,
like me, had Stingley ahead of Gardner and Houston have gone there.
Tackles are available to the New York teams now.

I think the first pick will be Travon Walker, then Hutch to the Lions,
then Ekwonu to the Jets and Neal to the Giants.

I'll jump in too, we had the pleasure of having Dave and Emma here at my
house in Oceanside, CA along with Ray Kelley (RIP), and Dave put on a
similar performance. Maybe 3 or 4 missed picks all night.
He'll be nailing them tonight too, although this may be one of the
toughest years in recent memory for him to pull off a duplicate performance.

I know, blind squirrel and all that....lol)

I shared this a few X through the years, I watched the draft with Dave,
Emma and Dave’s brother and SIL at his brother’s house in suburban Detroit
more than a few years ago. Dave’s predictive abilities were in full force
and effect. I think he was 29-31 in making the next pick in Round 1.

Those of you who’ve been following me for this long know that as long
as I can see the thought process and reasoning behind why the Steelers pick
someone, I won’t be too critical of them. It might not be what I’d do and I
might not agree with it, but they have more information on all of these
players than I do, so they get the benefit of the doubt, initially at
least.
When they do illogical things that I can’t see any benefit in (such as
last years trade that gave this years 4th round pick up so they could draft
Loudermilk in the 5th) that’s when I’ll go off. I said back then that round
4 this year would be a goldmine thanks to the super seniors who got an
extra year of eligibility because of the covid disruption and I was proven
right - that’s why the Ravens thought about this, lined things up and
currently have 5 picks in that round, they saw what was coming.
If it’s a QB tonight, then that’s okay, but they better ace the next 6
rounds and fill the needs they are bypassing with their first pick. I’d
still use the full 10 minutes and wait to see what trade offers come in
though……

That is an understatement. If he picks a QB, half the fan base will be
mad that he picked a QB, and most of the rest will be mad that he picked
the “wrong” one. It should be an interesting night indeed!

Honestly, I'm so excited for tonight, mainly because I have *no idea*
what's about to happen. Last year you knew it was Najee. This year? They
could trade up. Stay put. Go for one of like 4 different positions. Colbert
has an amazing opportunity to tick off most of the fan base tonight, then
be proven right 5 years from now. It's gonna be great.

I always look for spots in the draft where things will turn and everyone
has spoken - correctly - that Houston are a wild card at 3 and Carolina
could be a wild card at 6, especially if they want to trade down for more
picks and a QB, but keep an eye on Seattle at 9. Not so much from the sense
of a trade, but more from the fact that they have been one of the worst
drafting teams in the league this year and John Schneider and Pete Carroll
are always going out to left field with their picks. Don’t be surprised if
a name that hasn’t been mocked to them is the pick here and no one is
talking about a QB to Seattle, which I wouldn’t be surprised by either.
Late buzz for Quay Walker is justified, it sounds like him and Lewis
Cine are now locks for round one.
The Ravens are sitting pretty, they can go in any number of directions
and wind up with a bona fide star for their positions of need. I think that
if they end up with Davis or McDuffie they will be delighted. And they have
three picks in round three and five picks in round four and they can trade
them for picks next year or use them to move up to catch a falling star in
round one. Just incredible. I hate them, but even more so at this time each
year because you know they are going to do very well.
I can’t wait to see where George Pickens goes, of all the receivers in
this draft, he’s the one that will make the most noise - on and off the
field.
Looking forward to seeing who the Chiefs pick up at WR. Ditto Green Bay,
hilarity may ensue if the Packers pass on a receiver again in round one.
The Jets and Giants both have two picks in the top ten… and yet I don’t
know who they could pick that would constitute a successful evening for
them. They are both teams you analyse the draft effort in totality for, but
all I see is DB’s and tackles linked to them (especially after they both
picked tackles in the top ten recently, too) and am completely
underwhelmed. Maybe it’s just a bad year to have a top ten pick if you want
to find players who can turn your franchise around quickly, especially when
the jury is out on whether your QB’s can play at this level or not.
When Kyle Hamilton gets selected and they show that interception he made
this past season against Florida State on his highlight real, please
remember that there are probably less than 5 players on the planet who can
make that play. He’s one of them and he’s special.
Matt Araiza is getting all the publicity as the top punter in the draft,
but Jordan Stout and Jake Camarda are also Pro Bowl calibre punters too.
Stout may even be above Araiza on some teams boards.
