NFL: **** Official 2023 NFL Draft Thread ****

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

I figured we could have one thread for any discussion on the selections in the 2023 NFL draft.

8 hours until all the speculations end and we see who gets drafted.

I wouldn't be surprised if a quarterback like Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields gets selected first.

Bears fan, hoping they get the tackle from NW. Knowing them they'll probably draft another QB though

Please just end the first round streak

Anyone headed to KC to watch it in person? A buddy of mine will be there. He will get to see first hand how bad Motley Crue is live.

I realize I'm asking this as a complete introvert that wouldn't enjoy it... but what fun would it be sitting there waiting forever between picks? It's barely watchable on TV, I can't imagine the boredom in person.

They'll move up to take another QB then instead of drafting guys like Kamara, Godwin, and Cooper Kupp, they'll draft a tight end from Division 2 who will end up with about 6 career receptions.

That 10 minute interval in between picks in the first round seems closer to 30

I've recently switched from watching on ESPN to watching on NFL Network and I think they just do an overall better job. Usually Rich Eisen leads and does a great job.

ESPN's coverage of it sucks nowa days.

And it used to be 15 min for round one. It also used to be all on the weekend. Rnds 1-2 on day 1 and 3-7 on day 2. Each day was ridiculously long.

There was a few years where they would spoil every pick before it was called.

What I really hate is when your team is on the clock and 9 minutes and 58 seconds later they announce a trade back so you have to wait even longer.

Don’t both networks still spoil the pick beforehand? Always show them on the phone smiling ear to ear.

I usually take a nap during that time)

I hate it when the team that picks after my favorite team picks quickly...then we don't get the attention on my favorite team!

"With the 19th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select ... a Division III linebacker you didn't realize exists until this moment."

How can you not embrace the suspense?!

 

[BigJCy]

At least with the updated gambling odds it seems like Stroud going #2

 

[cmjh10]

NFL Network > ESPN

 

[ClonerJams]

I don't think I've ever heard D'brickashaw Ferguson talk before. Sounds like he should be giving the Harvard commencement speech.

That also means that team is overjoyed your team didn't steal their guy.
