    Get real. What team would use a 1st round pick on A QB when they have a future HOF QB still playing at a high level?

    • So, the Packers got this?

      2018 #18, 2019 1st, 2018 5th, 2018 7th
      for
      2018 #14, 2018 3rd, 2018 6th

      I had the wrong intel. Basically, to drop four spots they got a 2nd (trade chart equivalent), 5th, and 7th for a 3rd and 6th. I actually like that a lot, and they may have still got the player they wanted at #14. They have enough ammo to easily get back into the 3rd round.

      • I don't know how you can judge the Saints trade when you don't know what that 1st round pick will be. Could be anywhere from 1 to 32. I agree they probably got the guy they wanted. At worst, the trades probably turned out okay. If the Saints have a bad year, it could turn out really well.

        • For once, the Vikings did not draft the guy I did not want them to get in the first round. I was not a big fan of Hughes. I had a mid 2nd round grade on him. I'm sure Zimmer can scout CBs better than me, but I was worried they'd get OG Will Hernandez.

            • I went on an NFL forum and about 3/4 of the fans picked the Saints as the biggest loser in round 1, so there's that.

              I thought we gave up more and got less. Seeing the actual picks changes my opinion. So far, I'm encouraged by Gutey. Not afraid to hit FA early. Not afraid to make tough decisions on aging vets (although I would rather he resigned Jordy for half his salary). Not afraid to move up or down in the draft. Ended the silly requirement that a corner that is under 5'10 1/2" can't be drafted. I'm not saying you should have a roster full of 5'9" CBs, but there have been a lot of CBs shorter than 5'10 1/2" who have made the Pro Bowl and can play in any scheme. Any hard requirement that would eliminate that likes of Darrell Green and more recently the likes of Chris Harris is silly.

                  I was scared like a camp fire girl yesterday morning, tho.
                  Afib? Hope it doesn't come back and speedy recovery!

                      Alexander is 5'10" 7/8s, He is way taller than 5'10"!


                      I actually like the pick at 18. Gutey worked the board quite well. If he stayed at 27 I really would have questioned his decision making especially with the talent available at 14.

                        • This is pretty cool

                          Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield recreated the iconic Brett Favre draft-day photo on the eve of the 2018 NFL draft, and it's incredible.
                          Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
