NFL Draft Tonight - thoughts & bold predictions/R1 thread

I just don't get this from the Giants! They've got so many holes to plug. Why do this? From a monetary standpoint, they're giving up picks while gaining another 1st round contract to negotiate. Help me understand!
In the Eagles thread, Tom posted Howie‘s explanation. He had been trying to trade up to get him since the Chargers 22nd pick and didn’t want any team to jump them for him At 31. Makes sense.
Nice to wake up and see the Steelers didn't **** the bed last night. I am concerned about the LONG list of DEs and DTs taken before our new duckling, but I'll take it. Where's the beef? Here, now.
Now trade the headcase and get back into the second round for more.

Is Rodgers to the Stillers still in play?
Thanks for stomping out my positivity so quickly. Back to the hole of shame. It's where I belong.
QBs are making salaries that are pretty out of whack these days...if you can get one in the 1st round that turns out to be even solid, you're ahead of the game by getting him for 5 years at less than market value. And not much "negotiation" in 1st round contracts these days...everyone is pretty much slotted into a salary. It definitely makes sense on the financial side.
As far as I can tell the GMs for the Bears and Giants wouldn't last a week on this board.
They suck.
There was another team wanting to move into that space. The Chiefs made it known and the Eagles paid the price to secure the space and the pick
Typically cannot stand 'human interest' stories during the draft, but this one is pertinent and well done.

Sorry if already mentioned, but Kiper was rather embarrassing last night (more than normal). Not only did he go way overboard talking about Sanders, but he was wrong. The sentiments I got from people who tend to place wagers on these sorts of events was that Sanders was definitely dropping, and if the Steelers didn't take him, he would likely be R2. Everyone pretty much knew that NO was not interested, yet Kiper insisted he was the perfect fit and was shocked when he didn't go there. I'm not sure how a "draft expert" could be so out of touch with one of the biggest stories of the draft.
Why does anyone listen to Kiper? Do yourself a favor and switch to NFL Network coverage.
I’ve been saying it for years. Just my opinion, but I think NFL Network does a nice job. I like Louis Riddick on ESPN but not many of the others. I switched over for a few minutes and Kiper’s “ Best Available Players” list was vastly different than NFL Network.
Another draft highlight was the announcement that provided the date that the 2025 schedule would be announced. So strange.
Riddick has interviewed for 4 different GM positions. Kiper was interviewed as an oyster shucker at Phillips’s Seafood.
Derrick Harmon's mom passed . Amazing how people can hold on till a significant event happens. Maybe her son's draft day in this case was that event.
PITTSBURGH -- Tiffany Saine, the mother of Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick Derrick Harmon, died Thursday night shortly after her son was selected No. 21 overall in the NFL draft.
Saine, who suffered a stroke in 2022 that left her paralyzed on her left side, was on life support in the hospital while Harmon learned of his NFL future surrounded by the rest of his family in his hometown of Detroit.

Pre draft, Kiper still adamant that Sanders will be a great fit in NO. Makes a case for him drafted at 40.

It seems like college football skipped over that and went directly to "open FA market".How long before we have a “College” Football (
