[RashanGary]

If it's still available, Give me a couple teams, whoevers left

[pbmax]

Did Fritz already have Detroit?? I didn't see that.

I'll take Atlanta at 31 then.

No he didn't. Fritz is a modest draft prediction enthusiast. I am trying to get him to take a team so we get one closer to filled out.

[esoxx]

confimation, I'm on the ATL.

CCraig gets Miami. BZnDallas gets the Titans (twice), Justin gets the Bengals, esoxx gets the Falcons.

LET'S ROCK !!

[Guiness]

I'll take a team if someone wants to give one up. Preference would be my 'hometown' team, Buffalo, but I'd be fine with any team.

[Guiness]

No he didn't. Fritz is a modest draft prediction enthusiast. I am trying to get him to take a team so we get one closer to filled out.

What? Fritz can't be a modest draft predictor, he made one of my favorite comments, it's in my sig!

With the first pick in the 2017 National Football League Draft, the Cleveland Browns select:

Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M

Seriously, anything short of handing in Aaron Rodgers name on a card is possible with this group.

All the original rumors revolve around who wants Mitchell Trubisky (everyone thought it was noted Carson Palmer fan Hue Jackson). But the last round of gossip said it was the front office and Owner who were in love with the QB and the coaches were in love with Garrett. They do have incoming DC Gregg Williams who would love a pass rusher.

This is all bunk and smokescreen. Hue is a good coach, but he has no leverage after poor showing last year. Gregg Williams facial hair is still in a Federal Witness Protection program.

The Front Office (Sashi Brown and Paul DePodesta) are trying to use analytics to give them a leg up on improving. They have adopted the baseball/basketball model of rebuilding and seem to love draft picks and letting older players go. This could give them the Raiders/Chiefs trajectory of improvement, or it could give them the Philadelphia 76ers.

Regardless, they love draft picks and spend $16 million on a 2nd rounder and a player to be named later from the Texans.

So the smokescreen is about trying to get people to hand over a Mike Ditka level of picks for the #1 overall.

But as there is not certified Hall of Famer or even near lock All Pro QB in this draft, no one is going to bite.

The Browns don't want another mediocre talent at QB while rebuilding with this #1. They will take the sure thing at DE, amass pics and wait for a Luck level talent to appear in a near future draft.

San Francisco (Brandon 494) is on the clock.

Because Lord knows they'll have first choice for years to come

[Joemailman]

I'll give Brandon until 10:00 to make 49ers pick. If he hasn't checked in by then, I'll make the pick.

With the 2nd pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers select

Solomon Thomas - DE - Stanford

While the temptation to go QB is strong here, any QB in this draft would be a reach at #2.

BOTTOM LINE Explosive defender who combines strength, quickness, and a muscle-car motor to drive him around the field making play after play. Has the hands and feet to be a quick-win specialist and the size to fit as a 4-3 or 3-4 defensive end who can reduce inside for pass-rush downs. He has all the athletic traits to become a high-impact player and possesses more than enough skill and talent to believe he will continue to elevate his game as a pro. Thomas has the potential to become the best defender from this draft class and a future all-pro.

[Joemailman]

With the 3rd pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select:

Marshon Lattinore - CB - Ohio St.

For better or worse, the Bears have hitched their wagon to Mike Glennon at the QB position. With no WR worthy of the #3 pick, and being in the same division as Aaron Rodgers and Matt Stafford, the Bears go with the best CB in the draft.

BOTTOM LINE Average-sized, one-year starter with explosive athleticism and a loaded tool box. He has the feet, hips and agility to be a lockdown cornerback and the ball skills to make teams pay for looking in his direction. His lack of experience could show up early, but he has the confidence and competitive nature that should help him overcome those issues. He has the ability to become a Pro Bowl cornerback early in his career.
