- Start date
Likewise, how many Super Bowls have the Browns won with their 6 1st Round QB Selections? For the record I'm not opposed to taking QBs. I'm just against teams constantly taking QBs too early that don't appear to be NFL difference makers. I don't think May, Nix or McCarthy are going to be very good as NFL QBs.
21. Dolphins: Chop Robinson, DE, PSU
And my Eagles are now on the clock

High picks don't guarantee anything, just increase your odds of success. Who is the last game manager to win a super bowl?
22. Eagles: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
I didn't make the game manager statement. For the record though I believe it was Trent Dilfer.
23. Jaquars: Brian Thomas, Jr., WR, LSU (they traded with the Vikings to move down from 17 to 23)
Well, I'm not sure why you replied to my post then.
And that would be correct.
I replied to yours because I disagree with the amount of teams that feel the need to take QBs in the 1st round as well. Very few Drafts have multiple QBs that have good NFL careers and I think it's obsurd to see teams taking Nix, Maye and McCarthy in the Top 12. I wouldn't take any of them before the 2nd Round.
24. Lions: Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama (they traded with the Cowboys to move up from 29 to 24)

Maybe I'm mistaken but your post seemed to infer that you were okay with the amount of QBs taken high in the 1st round since "High picks don't guarantee anything, just increase your odds of success.."
28. Chiefs: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas (the Chiefs traded with the Bill to move up to this pick)
I was worried he was going to land at KC. This looks to be a good addition for them

I like the pick. Mitchell has the elite tools. On paper. He’s long, lean and fast. Now we see if it works. Can’t fault Howie’s strategy. He stood pat and let all the CBs come to him at 22z
Saw a stat that Saban had 49 First Round draft picks going into the draft last night. Added a couple more to his resume.
The second place guy is Joe with 33 and Bowden had 32.
In case people like to track this stuff....

Can somebody help me out here? The Vikings traded up with the Jets to draft a QB at #10… even though the Jets had no interest in drafting a QB! Why??? What did the Vikings give the Jets??
Worse, imo, is Atlanta drafting Penix after signing Cousins.
Really, it was to make sure that another QB needy team (Denver, Raiders, etc) didn’t move into that spot instead.
The deal involved sending the No. 11, 129 and 157 picks to New York in exchange for the 10thpick and the No. 203 pick.
To paraphrase my good friend Elton John....“New York Jets”
O-O-O-Olu and the Jets....
