Prefer NFL network. Kind of prefer the draft with fewer histrionics. Would only be better if Goodell had no screens behind him, just sitting in his chair smoking a pipe and announcing the picks.Texas Vike wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 5:46 pm What did y'all think of the draft coverage this year?
I honestly didn't mind the change that much. The songs sucked, but the actually conveyance of information was just as good as normal and it was kind of cool to get a glimpse into the homes of the players, coaches and GMs. I thought Zimmer's pad was just right on cue. That guy was meant to be our coach.
Also: now that the draft is over, the preseason can't start soon enough! I hope they can play this season in one form or another (possibly w/o fans in the stands).

Liked seeing inside Zimmer's house. Didn't care for music, doctor interviews, constantly talking about Covid, or all the stories of how every player has at one point been sad in their life by losing a loved one.Texas Vike wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 5:46 pm What did y'all think of the draft coverage this year?

I agree, I just think it is unnecessary, just focus on the draftMaelstrom88 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 5:52 pmLiked seeing inside Zimmer's house.

Wow Rick finally took a QB. Must have run out of Czechoslovakian rugby players to convert. Competition for Browning at least.

Re: Draft thread
We need to bring a blocking TE to camp and Conklin shouldn't be hard to beat out.

I forgot about him! Maybe he can sign with us as undrafted free agent

Me too, does anyone have a link to the full teams of undrafted free agents, it would be very helpful

Re: Draft thread
No pierce only counted for a 6th round pick. So it cancelled the weatherly 6th we had comingStumpHunter wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 5:07 pmWouldn't Waynes compensatory be offset by our DT signing?Pondering Her Percy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 4:39 pm I mentioned early we’d be getting some 2021 picks. So far we gained an extra 2021 4th and two 5ths. Plus the 4th from the diggs trade.
So next year so far it looks like:
1st
2nd
3rd
3rd (Projected compensatory for Waynes)
4th
4th (diggs trade)
4th (2020 draft trade)
5th
5th (2020 draft trade)
5th (2020 draft trade)
6th
6th (projected compensatory for Alexander)
7th
7th (projected compensatory for sendejo)
7th (projected compensatory for Kearse, based on playing time)
We literally could have roughly 15 picks going into next year already. And that’s not counting some more we could land today. I said this offseason on here that guys had to stop worrying about free agency and it looked like they were planning on building through the draft. Not only have they done that this year but they are doing it again next year
