Official 2024 NFL Draft Thread

hahahaha ok, what do you think it means? I use the term to mean crowd following/peer pressure/somebody swallowing some shit and various others (I'll refrain from calling them dumbasses so as not to insult you hahahaha) respewing the same shit. It happens in here a lot - cliquish behavior.

When te entire world disagrees with you, they're not a clique.

Yeah it's been well established Tex doesn't know OL.
FWIW, I saw a PFF chart that showed Jordan Love was pressured 212 times last year. Dak was pressured 229 times, Brock Purdy 245, Jalen Hurts 270, Mahomes 303 (!)

I honestly don't care if they draft Graham Barton at 25 if he becomes the next Zach Martin. I'm expecting it their R1 pick to be non-splashy tbh. They aren't drafting a WR without trading someone (Watson? Doubs?) to make room.

I just saw a mock with a new name thrown out there and it screams Gutes to be honest. Payton Wilson LB. 9.88 RAS and the number that jumped out to me was 17.5 tackles for a loss. He has size too at 6'3" and 233. Can probably pack 10 pounds of muscle if he is a self starter. No one really thinks LB as our first rounder in this particular draft, but we have a need, dude can ball, and Gutes rarely follows the "mocks". This is a total outlier and I could totally see him pulling that trigger while we all throw shit at the TV.

There are far more examples of a single voice being wrong and the crowd being right.

Naturally. I thought that was embedded in my post.

Payton Wilson

The problem is he is an older prospect with a major injuries history. Outstanding player - but those are pretty heavy red flags.

i just heard on one of the packers podcasts that the 25th pick has been traded 8 times in the last 7 years and 15 times in the last 19 years

strong chance we don't keep that pick

yeah those are

good looking player, but i don't think you take him in the first with those flags

Yep. The team holding the 25th pick probably doesn't have a 1st round grade on anyone left. The teams that move up are trying to fill a specific need.

The 25th pick in the draft hasn't been made by it's original holder since 2016 - that's 7 consecutive drafts where it was involved in some type of trade. It's also been utilized in a trade in 14 of the past 20 years.

anyone else completely confused by 3 of the top o-line prospects being

Fautanu
fashanu
and Fuaga

thats a lot of f's and vowels

[Joemailman]

Fuck 'em. I don't fathom Packers will have a shot at any of them. Fashanu is my fave, but there is a fair chance Fautanu will fall to 25.

[Joemailman]

Wouldn't take him at 25. But with 2 2nd and 2 3rd round picks, I'd be tempted to take him at 41. Walker and Wilson could cover a lot of ground. Wilson could even line up as box safety in some situations.

8 times in 7 years....that is a lot....like 114% of the time.

[bobblehead]

Also teams at 25 are "so close" and probably trade up just as often ...just my theory without looking.

it was used in a trade up, then the new team traded back again from it

it was actually last year

giants had #25. traded to the jags to move up one spot, then jags traded it to the bills for pick #27 and a 4th

[jklowan]

I think I would love this haul if possible, would add a toughness to this team

Troy Fautanu
T.J. Tampa
Edgerrin Cooper
Jaden Hicks
Trey Benson or Braelon Allen

Yep, every time one is mentioned, I have to look them up and try to remember which one is which and what school.

Ah...well played sir. I thought it was a typo and was having a little fun.

When te entire world disagrees with you, they're not a clique.

A clique is when one dumbass claims something and some other dumbasses follow like sheep saying oh yeah, oh yeah, it must be true. A common characteristic of such cliques is that they have vastly overrated ideas of the extent that their crap is swallowed. Sound familiar? hahahaha

[ThunderDan]

ˈklik also ˈklēk
Synonyms of clique

Nope. When the entire world disagrees with one individual, the entire world is not a clique.

it wasn't my find, i just repeated what i head on a podcast

it does sound stupid when you first hear it, but then after you know the details you go "oh well yeah that makes perfect sense"
