I recommend 7 rounds, Fast, pick your favorite team, and solo draft

It’s up to -1000, so the betting market is certainly expecting it (as am I).
Shout out to my High School Alma Mater - Gonzaga in DC, with a chance to be the first to have 2 guys go in the top 10 in the same draft... Caleb Williams and our own, Olu Fashanu.. I do think Olu will translate well in the NFL, Caleb, I hope I'm wrong, but I see bust. But, the tangibles are all there, obviously.
It struck me that you seriously consider Daniels at #2 to be a mistake. Amirite?
I’m not so sure that means they won’t sign him long term as much as they aren’t willing to pick up the 5th year option at $25 milllion. He could potentially get a long term deal that makes more sense to both parties, but I guess that depends on if he plays this season and what he shows them. I think they go OL in first round. I like the center from Oregon. He seems to fit the Steeler center mold. He’s plug and play for the next 10 yrs or so. If not, I also like the center from WVU, but he could probably be taken in the second if they go OT in the first.
The financial side of things really play into the decision...from a purely football standpoint, I can see Yes. But if you can find your QB of the future and lock him down for 5 seasons at a reasonable cost, that's going to help out a lot for the rest of your roster construction. That's why I'd say Nay. QBs just make WAY too much $ when they hit the open market.
You have a good point. The Texans and 49ers are prime examples. They have QBs on the cheap with rookie contracts which allows them to have a lot of flexibility with the rest of their roster. The Texans are a team on the rise as long as Stroud is what we saw last year.
I’m being facetious. BUT there are a few risks that stand out in taking him that high:
- it’s Washington making the pick and developing him.
- Slender build for his height
- Tends to abandon the pocket and run quickly. Pair that with above point and there are questions.
- He threw to BIG TIME WR talent at LSU. That’s been the knock on many busted OSU QBs through the years
Steelers go OT or Center in the first round. Will eventually sign Fields long-term, but cannot do it too soon to keep Wilson from going in a funk.
WR in 2nd or 3rd.
QB, QB, QB...ridiculous! I get it that QB is the most important position in the NFL but IMO Maye and McCarthy behind him are not Top 20 picks, yet alone #3 overall.
Teams keep trying and keep failing, maybe they will learn someday.
Harrison 100% an All-Pro one of these days.
GB declined Love's option then signed him to a 1 year? contract extension that was incentive based. The Steelers could do something similar.
Absolutely….everybody is trying to get the next Patrick Mahomes and there’s only one Patrick Mahomes. A team would be better off building up their lines and getting a game manager.
The first night of the NFL Draft is my annual reminder as to what an annoying loud mouth Mel Kiper is.
He could take the fun out of a Roman orgy.
Getting plenty of competition from Boogis and Pittboy Riddick. And for comic relief they shift to Michigan Man Shefty, a guy who has made a career out of saying absolutely nothing.

I was wondering what the Vikings ceded /Jets obtained for this deal
The Vikings gave up the No. 11 pick, a fourth-round pick (No. 129) and a fifth-round pick (No. 157) to get No. 10 and a seventh-round pick (No. 203) from the Jets.
