Suprised @JDS guy Bain all the way down at number nine.

Figured he’d be higher. I would love for the Cowboys to trade up a few spots to get him. They had hardly any pass rush this season with no Parsons.

I don’t have a problem with him being near the #10 pick a little higher or lower.

Was suprised to see the Miami Samoan OL at number three. Knew he was pretty good but didn’t know he was that good as far as being a top-tier NFL prospect

I'm still having a hard time understanding how the Titans (IMO the worst team in NFL) finished 4th from last. Oh well...

What does Cleveland do..... Live with the Watson, Sanders, Gabriel option or try to move up and get one of the first 2 picks to get "another" QB? Bad situation for them. Maybe somebody will come through and step up next year.

As badly as Vegas needs a QB I’d be surprised if they trade the top pick.

The Jets have a lot of top picks from trading Sauce to the Colts and Williams to Dallas. But who knows what they’ll do.

Agree Cleveland is in a strange place. Sanders played okay down the stretch but I’d still be surprised if they considered him or anyone on their roster, including Watson, the long-term option at QB.

Cam Ward came on pretty well last 6-7 games of the season.

Will definitely be an interesting draft.

Saw that yesterday. He seems like a college coach guy.

Well, DUH!
OF COURSE “Fernando Mendoza” is going to “DA RAIDAHHZZZ”!!!!!
If he starts, and even sniffs at ending the season at .500 - “Los Raiders Nacionales” (and @phillyflyers for some weird reason) gonna go LOCO, ESE!!!!!

 

[BigJay]

Even though both franchises haven’t been great of late I would much rather go to the Raiders than the Jets

Remember when “Los Doyers” had a “Fernando”?!?!

**Prediction** (and I wish I could bet on this) - “Los Raiders Nacionales” will go loco when (not if) Fernando Mendoza (yes, he’s Cuban - doesn’t matter) is picked first in the draft…..

Won't make it out of the top 5.

Won't make it out of the top 5.

If they win their next two games and he's the main reason on the defense top 3 pick in his sights. Right now he needs to shine in the biggest stage in the final 4.

 

[maltedhopsfrenzy]

Just looked - Mendoza is -400…..
I’ll keep an eye out on this, if he loses, and it gets to plus money, I might still go Mendoza because of “DA RAIDAHHZZZ”…..

Bain is gonna be special in NFL. Dude is a monster.
