NFL draft, who's watching?

It starts in a couple of hours.

Defensive end Myles Garrett of Texas A&M is rumored to be the Cleveland Browns' choice for the #1 pick, according to ESPN.
Earlier in the week, it looked like North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky might be the Browns' selection.

If not there are so many good prospects I hope they don't blow the lucky #13 pick by picking Mahonnes not that I would mind but I'm concerned about the pass happy system so feel he would be a reach as a lot of mock drafts are looking but I'm tired of the speculation and ready to get this show on the road.

A couple of my favorite prospects are from Washington John Ross who could be a Desean Jackson and CB Kevin King a 6'3" CB that can jump higher than NBA players taller than him such as Kawhi Leonard.

A more in-depth red carpet at that (they started earlier while ESPN was airing SC6).

Will they be identifying who made their suits? And if anyone is wearing attire made by Trump, will they admit it?

The Cards just missed out on Watson. Who would you compare him to in terms of today's NFL QBs?

A mobile QB that is looking to pass rather than run but in any case felt he was the best QB in the draft winning the Davey O'Brien award twice and his performance against an outstanding Alabama D with future NFL players.

That said I'm happy with the Cards pick of Reddick considering all the players available at the time and it fills a need.

Everything I read indicated that this was a weak and risky draft for QBs. Somebody(ies) going to get burned bad.
