Here we go! 5:00 PM today, the hyperbopalooza begins. Pittsburgh is the lucky site for this insanely overblown extravaganza of corporate greed, needless glitz and grandiosity, and oh yeah, the draft.
The self-indulgent importance is only heightened by the fact that the draft is on FOUR networks. NFLN, ESPN, ABC, and ESPN Deportes.
Round 2 starts 4:00 PM tomorrow
Rounds 3-7 starts at 9:00 AM Saturday
The breathlessness and hype is crazy but for all the bullshit, this team really needs to get younger and stronger with this draft. Seattle got weaker through attrition but they have been very solid in their drafts lately, and as the NFC West goes, so goes the NFL. One of us, the Rams, and the Hawks are more than likely gonna be the champs if the season goes according to plan.
- DE
2. C
4. LG
4. WR
4. S
4. RB
And how ’bout them Giants! Sweep the dogs!
HAHAHA!
Thank you Unca for making me an editor (and it seems you did it for the majority of people that visit your site). Go Giants and 49ers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who woulda thought. I don’t want to jinx em but this just might be the spark this team needs. We played some pretty good defense yesterday and that was nice to see.
How do you know if you are an editor and what does that mean.
chuck if being and editor makes it so I can post more music videos then I want to be one. Google lets me post some now and then but it always goes to bing or yahoo and they don’t let me post em at all. I use Safari for everything else so I don’t really know whats up with that.
All it means is you can fix your typos. I’m OCD-ish so it bugs me. Sent you one as well.
Winder:
James taught me how to post gifs and videos that you may not know. First copy the url of whatever it is, then tap or click the comment box and then again on the black ‘X’ in the upper right, then again on the thing below that says ‘image’ and then paste the url into the box that pops up…
Thanks chuck, and loo I am definitely gonna have to write that down there is no way I remember that. i appreciate the help. chuck that will help I misspell and leave out words all the time. It’s funny because it always sounds perfect in my head.
What unca said Winder . . . Misspellings, words left out, wrong punctuation, etc..
I know 12th Man will appreciate this too, i.e., his sentences mostly “flow” and he’s a stickler for what he is trying to say.
True but I don’t think I have editor Blade. I just try to re-read whatever I wrote and still screw it up.
Actually, he did 12th man. Look beside your date and time in parentheses – it says “Edit.”
It’s awfully nice of Chuck to open this place to the Orphans, but especially on a day like this it’s frustrating that I’m not comfortable discussing Elroy Face going 18-1 in 1959 and only getting a 3.2 WAR for his trouble while teammate Harvey Haddix gets a 3.8 for going 12-12. I’ll never understand that stat…
I remember Face really well but didn’t really follow anyone until 61 when I bought baseball cards any time I had the extra nickel.
Nice
Where’s the ‘el’?
Big day today, their last couple of drafts have been vast improvements and I’m hopeful that trend continues. I also think this may be the last one for Lynch as GM before being “promoted” or leaving for big media money.
I’m still convinced its DE or WR. Not long to wait.
Yeah, I was thinking WR might be the one. I know we need another DE but there are a lot of em in this draft so I think it’s all gonna come down to who is there and how they rate em.
Congrats Blade being an editor for the Orphans is huge! Of course swearing still needs to be allowed,why do you think they all became Orphans in the first place?
Well for Fuck sake since it’s only tonight for all the anticipation of 49ers #1 pick unless they trade out of the first round Cardinals want QB Ty Simpson are Patriots both want to move up, as Monty Hall use to say “Let’s Make a Deal”
If the Niners stay put here’s a few on my list tonight if available..DE Malachi Lawerence, TJ Parker Keldric Faulk OLCaleb Lomu,, Blake Miller,Freeling,Proctor Max Inanachor ..S Emanuel McNiel Warren,And of course WR’s that Kyle will sit in his doghouse..KC Concepion,Omar Cooper Jr, Denzel Boston thoughts?
I think I have seen mocks where we drafted all those guys.
I’m with you Winder and how in the world do all the coaches/scouts etc get all the intel on 300 plus players it’s a year long no sleep job for these guys especially leading up to the draft..
98% of it comes from the coaches that talk them up once you get past rounds 1-3.
Kiper has something nice to say to every one of the 256 picks.
Ok just tried to post a video and it didn’t work so I knw I did something wrong
Think Loo had to many “And Then” processes in there I know I would be confused..😵💫
I think I put something in the wrong box I will try again later. My patience isn’t what it used to be and I make mistakes.
My 7th grade English teacher said I had the communication skills of Cousin Itt…
Just read they have shorted the draft from 10 to 8 min. between picks that is long overdue. That means all the Experts don’t have to bother you for 10 minutes any longer.
Winder. Try this. It worksfor Youtube videos anyway.
In the response box hit the’/’ key. It’ll display options for posting things into the dialog box. Paste the url into the YouTube embed option.
One good thing for Will Brennan of the giants is he can go 0-3 and his batting average does not go down!
I’m set on OG or Edge Rusher. I really want an OG. My preference is Ionne. He will probably be gone so plug in the OT form ASU to play guard immediately and move him to OT when Williams is gone. If they are both gone, DE Howell. If all are gone, trade back.
I do t see this brain trust using a 1 on a guard. I wouldn’t mind it but I don’t think it happens. Maybe a 2.
Max Iheanachor is the tackle for ASU. He can play OG forma year or two and move over to LT id Williams is injured. Ionne is a pure guard, but he is the highest ranked.
I need to edit! LOL!
Jeez!
Berger..I’m not sure about Howell he has real short arms his hands start at his elbows..I’m also out on Tennessee CB McCoy too many red flags,his teammate Hood might need another operation on his knee.WR Concepcion I’m hearing he recently had his knee scoped though Shanny won’t care he’s versatile Slot /Punts/Kickoffs gadget guy..
LOL! Hands start at the elbow! I need to see a picture of this guy.
just wow. Gilbert took a bad route.
disheartening to hear all those dodger fans.
shit throw by Ramos. A good one gets him.
oh well. 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.
the bats are hibernating again.
Can’t win games with 1 fucking hit in 6 innings. Mr. V’s brain needs a software update or something. No idea what will motivate this team to play better. Sigh.
38,619 attendees? What a scam.
2 out of 3 ain’t bad. That’s what they need to keep doing. And they really need to keep winning at home. 3 more against the Marlins. A team we notoriously struggle against.
I’ll take a series win against the dogs anytime.
Loo, was that Elroy Face card a mistake.
xxxxx
