Could Tunsil slip all the way to the Colts?

I dont think it is insane, it just goes to show how different the talking heads and fans draftboards are from the actual teams draftboards.

Man, being a scout in the NFL is so easy. Step 1: Visit Ohio St. Step 2: Collect paycheck

I mean, I like Apple but that's pretty high for him. We'll see in a few years.

This is just a bizarre draft. The Bears throw away a fourth round pick, just in case the Giants wanted their "tweener" linebacker?

Did anyone have Eli Apple going in the top ten? Bueller? Bueller?

This draft has suddenly gotten very interesting, and yes I agree if Tunsil knew , then yes a very big idiot.

As I said, I know that is what he is saying, and if that is true then it is no fault of his own.. (Though I remain slightly skeptical)

But if that is just his cover story, and he actually let that picture be posted on twitter, he is an idiot.

I'd take Tunsil at #23 if he was taking a bong hit in the Green Room.

Oh sure, if you want to be all logical.

We'll see if they "threw it away" or if they made a good move to get a key player for their defense. Sometimes it's a question of scheme and fit and how coaches assess these guys. Time will tell.
