🏈🏈🏈 OFFICIAL 2024 NFL DRAFT THREAD - LIVE FROM MOTOWN 🏈🏈🏈 (2 Viewers)

[-OZ-]

I’ve never understood why they don’t just have the first pick, no clock, at go time.

 

[skol asylum]

Bears should surprise everyone and take Bo Nix.

 

[3 hour lunch]

I wonder who they are going to pick

 

[Deamon]

Bears war room all sitting their staring into space.......so exicting

They always do this... not sure why. Maybe to give the broadcast more time.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Why can’t the bears just make the pick!

I see you're juggling both just like I am haha

Why get enraged by only one thing when I can have two?

 

[Dez]

I’ve never understood why they don’t just have the first pick, no clock, at go time.

Because they know I work in the morning

 

[jon_mx]

Have the Bears traded the #1 pick yet?

 

[Brunell4MVP]

And after a year to prep for this, the Bears take 76 hours to submit the pick.

 

[ghostguy123]

You wonder if the teams do the draft for real earlier in the day, then present it this way
Hmmm

 

[Deamon]

I’ve never understood why they don’t just have the first pick, no clock, at go time.

In the rare circumstance there's a trade up last min I guess?

 

[Dez]

Pretty sure the NFL tells teams not to pick right at the start.

 

[The Dude]

I believe the nfl has told them to sit on pick to allow networks to do some color

 

[Deamon]

You wonder if the teams do the draft for real earlier in the day, then present it this way
Hmmm

no. There's been plenty of war room videos, etc. that they show afterwards.

I think that must be it. In the early 80s, teams got a half hour apiece to make their picks. The whole 1st round was done in 3 hours. No one was taking their full time or anywhere close. This is when ESPN was desperate for content and the draft was on Tuesday morning.

 

[renesauz]

I'm sure it's the NFL that slow plays this, not the Chicago draft room

 

[irish eyes]

So bizarre when they show the teams war room & they're all hugging and high giving like they can't believe they got their guy.

 

[Deamon]

Pretty sure the NFL tells teams not to pick right at the start.

Yep

 

[jon_mx]

I’ve never understood why they don’t just have the first pick, no clock, at go time.

The Lions would do this and the NFL would threaten to fine them. The NFL wants to drag this out.

 

[Moonlight]

Caleb just bustedGoodell’s eardrum.

 

[Despyzer]

I like the "I care" answer.

 

[renesauz]

"Because I care".

If he isn't from Chi=town...seems like a bit of an over-reaction.

 

[ChiefD]

Just wanted to remind you guys that the Chiefs are the two time defending Super Bowl Champs.

Have a good draft fellas!

 

[Boston]

Was that Stevie Wonder?

 

[The Frankman]

Jayden Daniels goes to the Commanders at #2

 

[3 hour lunch]

That the Bears haven’t had a 4K passer is pretty amazing in todays game

 

[Despyzer]

They should turn down the lights in that green room. Those poor guys have to wear sunglasses in there.

 

[-OZ-]

Jayden Daniels goes to the Commanders at #2

They better find a way to protect him. But he’s got the skills to be great.

 

[boilerdave]

The Pat Macafee draft show on ESPN+ with Belichick is a pretty good option for watching the draft.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I’m honestly hoping the Pats deal 1.03 to SF for Aiyuk.

I wouldn’t stop laughing until 2027

 

[Despyzer]

I bet Caleb and Jayden are loving that Marriota/Jameis comparison.

ESPN Post-Draft Coverage for Caleb Williams

Post-Draft Analysis​

Williams' skill set would allow him to be a great fit in any offense, but the Bears' setup in particular stands out with offensive coordinator Shane Waldron's love for the deep ball. Waldron will scheme up deep shots to DJ Moore, and Keenan Allen, Cole Kmet and Gerald Everett are all physical enough to beat up man coverage on underneath routes for Williams. And if all else fails, Williams will be free to use his legs in the Chicago system; he scored 27 rushing touchdowns over the past three seasons. In short, the fit is superb. -- Miller

Overall value: Perfect range. In fact, it won't get any more perfect than this. Williams is the highest-graded player regardless of position on my board, and he also checked in at No. 1 overall for Mel Kiper Jr., Field Yates and Miller. And while Williams didn't grade out quite as high as Andrew Luck did in 2012, he joins Trevor Lawrence as the two best quarterback prospects I've studied since then. -- Muench

 

[Long Ball Larry]

That the Bears haven’t had a 4K passer is pretty amazing in todays game

It’s actually one of those things that seems impossible and yet also makes complete sense when you think about the bears…

 

[Mister CIA]

The big "PICK IS IN" sign is begging for a Goodell pose where his head covers up the bottom of the 'P'.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Use that clock Bears !

You know the NFL makes them do that - it has to be that. Airtime matters.

 

[jon_mx]

JJ?

 

[karl.Racki]

Bears should surprise everyone and take Bo Nix.

Probably be better

 

[3 hour lunch]

Patriots taking a white qb with an ugly haircut checks out

 

[Captain Cranks]

Chalk so far.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

How many #1 picks has Lincoln Riley had as a head coach?
Murray, Mayfield, Williams.
WoW

 

[skol asylum]

Darn

 

[jon_mx]

Does Minnesota trade up now?

 

[Deamon]

Does Minnesota trade up now?

not to 4. but yes to 5.

 

[Captain Cranks]

Darn

Hopefully the Vikes sit tight and don't overpay for McCarthy.

 

[Deamon]

That mother doesn't even seem that excited

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Does Minnesota trade up now?

Either that or it’s Darnold time in MIN.

I might trade for him in SF.

 

[The Frankman]

ESPN post-draft analysis for Jayden Daniels:

Post-Draft Analysis​

The Commanders had 21 interceptions last season and traded Sam Howell to Seattle in March, leaving a big hole at QB. Daniels has the mobility, accuracy and decision-making to thrive in offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury's scheme. His ability outside of structure will place less stress on a Washington offensive line that allowed 65 sacks last season, tied for the second-most in the NFL. And he'll fit well with wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson after being arguably the most accurate deep-ball passer in the FBS last season. -- Jordan Reid

Overall value: Perfect range. Daniels is ranked fifth overall on my board, he has a strong first-round grade, and he is the best available quarterback with Caleb Williams gone at No. 1. -- Muench

 

[Despyzer]

"great college success" seems like a stretch when describing Drake's big brothers

 

[The Frankman]

ESPN post-draft analysis for Drake Maye:

Post-Draft Analysis​

With Mac Jones traded, the Patriots had to find a quarterback to build around. We don't know exactly what Alex Van Pelt's offense will look like in New England, but the best-case scenario is that Maye sits behind veteran Jacoby Brissett for at least part of the 2024 season and keeps developing. Maye's arm strength, pocket toughness, mobility and poise are all excellent traits that can fit into any NFL offense, and with deep threats like Kendrick Bourne and K.J. Osborn on the roster, his arm talent will shine in Foxboro Stadium. -- Miller

Overall value: Perfect range. Taking the third-best quarterback with the third-overall pick isn't always the best move -- just ask the 49ers -- but Maye is ranked just behind Daniels at sixth overall on my board, making him a strong pick here for a team that needs a QB. -- Muench

Not Alt, not Alt

 

[ghostguy123]

Kinda boring when it's going exactly how it's been predicted
