Re: 2023 NFL Draft - Round 1 Discussion Thread

For those keeping score at home, 9 of the 10 players I had in the top 10 actually went in the top 10. That might be a record for me! Only Will Levis is still on the board.

Same guy they'd have taken at 9 but they get an extra 4th out of it. Bit of a fleecing there. Or would that be a molting? scratch

LOL Agreed!

As I predicted, Peter Skoronski to the Titans at 11.

Will Levis looks miserable sitting at the draft and not hearing his name called.

by **JMP** Thu Apr 27, 2023 9:38 pm

Another Dolphins target off the board: RB Jahmyr Gibbs to Lions at 12. Two RBs in the top 12!!! WOW!

I knew if he didn't go in the first 4 picks it might be an Aaron Rodgers situation all over again. I'm not sure he'll be good, but IMO he'll be a better NFL QB than at least 2 of the 3 taken ahead of him.

Lions going RB in the first?!?! Shocked

Yeah, we're officially living in the end times.

Packers take DE Lukas Van Ness at 13 - the pick they swapped with the Jets.

by **JMP** Thu Apr 27, 2023 9:46 pm

Pats trade down, Steelers now on the clock. I bet they steal Broderick Jones from the Jets.

by DolFan 316 Thu Apr 27, 2023 9:47 pm

Pats *have* to take Levis here, right?

EDIT: Or they could do what they always do and swindle someone to give them more picks, those bass turds (that's not a typo). Evil or Very Mad

Yes please Very Happy

Yep, Steelers take OT Broderick Jones. Good pick.

Jets will probably go WR or CB IMO.

Jets go WR, Rodgers throws a tantrum since they clearly aren't supposed to do that. Laughing

by **JMP** Thu Apr 27, 2023 9:54 pm

Jets could also go TE, but I think it's too early for Kincaid or Mayer. I'm predicting Ohio State WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

by **JMP** Thu Apr 27, 2023 10:06 pm

Jets reach for a smallish edge rusher, Will McDonald. Terrible value, but he may be a fit for the style of D the Jets play. There were much better players available...this could be the worst pick of the draft so far.

by **JMP** Thu Apr 27, 2023 10:08 pm

Commanders take CB Emmanuel Forbes at 16. Joey Porter Jr. and Christian Gonzalez still on the board, and they take Forbes?? Big mistake IMO.

by **JMP** Thu Apr 27, 2023 10:10 pm

Fuck, Pats get CB Christian Gonzalez. Damn.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Laughing

And they took FOREVER to make that pick too, which tells me that the Steelers really DID screw them over with the Broderick Jones pick and they had no Plan B.

VERY bad news indeed Evil or Very Mad

Belichick must've brought a rabbit's foot and a four leaf clover into their war room. It should never have been possible for them to trade DOWN from 14 and STILL get a player that was in the top 10 of literally every mock I saw and did.

Exactly! It shouldn't have been difficult...plenty of other edge rushers, CBs and WRs available that would have been much better than McDonald.

by DolFan 316 Thu Apr 27, 2023 10:14 pm

I now really do believe this was a weak WR draft, it seems like nobody wants to take one!

Yep, ridiculous that they got him at 17. I had them taking him at 14, but I think he's the best corner in the draft despite everyone else preferring Witherspoon. If I was doing the mock based on who I would have picked instead of who I thought would be picked, he might have been top 5 for me. He's really physical and has great speed.

by **JMP** Thu Apr 27, 2023 10:17 pm

No! Lions take Jack Campbell!

by **JMP** Thu Apr 27, 2023 10:20 pm

BTW, this KC crowd is lame. No booing Goodell, or anyone really. Pretty quiet overall actually.
