2023 NFL Draft Gameday Thread

[drjohnnyfever]

Lions have done well the last couple yrs in the draft. Hopefully for their case today was just a speed bump.

Have you ever read or seen the movie Paper Lion? Winner! And worth finding out there on the web. George Plimpton undercover as a QB prospect with the Lions and allowed by ownership to go thru training camp and to play in a preseason game. Plimpton was a newspaper man who was interested in writing behind the scenes stories of what it's really like to be in locker rooms of pro sports and being on the field with these guys. Love me some Lions because of that movie - and book - and always want them to do well. The Plimpton series is well worth the reads. Funny, shocking, revealing and sometimes brutal.

I'm a bit concerned. Maybe they got who they wanted, but it sure feels like me drafting Matt Stover in the 3rd round of my Fantasy Football league in 2005.

Anybody else gonna watch this whole thing?

I probably will. It's always interesting to see what other teams do. Especially the defending champs, and division rivals.

Clark Phillips, Kyu Blu Kelly, Julius Brents, or Tyrique Stevenson at 86?

Or trade up for DJ Turner and make Harbaugh happy?

What’s gonna happen fellas?!

No to Phillips or Kelly from me. I would fucking nut if Stevenson was there at 86. Don't think he even makes it out of RD2.

Don't even care who the pick is... Fuck Chicago for trading that pick to Pitt for fucking Claypool

That's fine. Flowers is gonna break his ankles twice a season.

Cool story in all honesty. I’m not the biggest JPJ fan in the world so not feeling too terrible either way.

I think he's a bigger thorn then their OT tbh

 

[UPennChem]

Ok Titans trading up. Gotta be Levis or Hooker

 

[Davesta]

Titans move up. Hope it’s for Levis.

If they’re smart. It’ll be Hooker
