Little surprised they didn't just try to draft a tackle since it's a good class

Probably rather have a guy they know is good right now than someone they might need to wait on. #31 is also a long ways. For all they know they might have had to take like the #5 or #6 OT in the draft there.

For sure, just nice having a young starting OT cheap for 5 years instead of 1.

Yeah, I just think they probably weren't confident they'd get a starting OT and now they have a likely very good, arguably elite, LT. And they got him for the equivalent of a 2nd round pick. Still have a couple 2nd round picks left to beef up the defense or add a WR too.

They weren't getting one of the better.tackles at 31.

Yeah after thinking about it there's prolly going to be a run on tackles in the 1st

Brady rips 'dumb' new NFL uniform number rule

Tom Brady took to Instagram on Thursday to criticize the NFL's rule change to allow more flexibility for numbers worn on players' jerseys, saying it will lead to "bad football" and is "dumb."

Apparently Belichick hates it too. Maybe they should have spoken up before it was changed and not after.

 

[Cusefan0307]

So apparently the onside kick was changed to only allow 9 guys on the receiving team to be able to receive instead of 10in the 10-25 yard area after kickoff. Wish they implemented the 4th and 15 instead.

Have to admit the Chiefs have done a good job remaking their offensive line turning what I felt was a weakness by the end of the season into a strength.

I've followed Andy Reid forever and he has always placed a huge priority on the OL.

If Brady and Belichick hate it, then despite whatever my actual opinion on it is, I have to say that I love it.

Looks like the Giants will pick up a 3rd to move back 2 spots.

Kaiser wanted a 2nd to go back 4 spots.
Never was happening.

If Julio gets moved Baltimore makes the most sense.
They have a lot of picks and he shouldn’t cost that much to acquire thanks to cost of contract and his age.

That would also signal the Falcons aren’t taking Pitts and likely will take a QB.

Pitts would go to Miami at 6 as Cincinnati is either Chase or Sewell.

since the chargers deleted the tweet and then PFF posted it only to delete it then post it again tells be it’s not official but could be in draft day. The Chargers must want a specific player and if he’s there at 11 they pull the trigger, if not the Giants are in the clock.

rumor on one of the talk shows this morning was that the ravens might use their two 1st round picks and maybe more to move up for one of the bama receivers.

The Chargers never actually tweeted this. It was just a graphic someone made up and they successfully tricked PFF.

The Chargers would be jumping ahead of the Eagles at #12. Everybody has the Birds selecting either a WR or DB.

It's the end of the road for Lee as a player, but another option is on the table

I missed it. What was the takeaway?

Looks like it was a bad April fools joke 4 weeks too late.
