Man I thought I wanted to watch the draft and then the 15 minute blitz of treacle killed my enthusiasm.

I thought I was just an insensitive bastard for wanting to turn on the draft and ignore all the bull shit. Then I get hit with 15 minutes of Covid reminders and Dr. Fauci speaking at the draft for whatever reason.

Yeah, then followed by a possibly animatronic Goodell assuring me that "we'll find other ways to have fun virtually" in the least convincing manner possible.

This has all been cringey as hell so far.

Haha.

I am hoping the Lions don't trade the third pick so I can stop watching in ten minutes.

I haven't watched the NFL Draft in years. Have they used the NFL Primetime music all that time or is it just because they brought back NFL Primetime?

Predictable, boring move by the Lions. Stay at 3, take Okudah, another lateral move following the loss of Slay. The Lions will remain terrible for yet another year. I can’t stand Quinntricia.

Lions could have traded the 3 and gotten a quality DB later plus more

Thomas, Wirfs or Wills. I would have been happy with any of them. Mostly I'm happy they didn't draft Becton. (save this post and check back in 5 years)

I'm getting the impression we're seeing odd timing where like some families know what is going on while others are being shown just as they are finding out.

It's not like he was taken by perennial winners like the Patriots.

Shades of last year with Gettelman going outside the box at 5. Damned if I know if Thomas, Wirfs, Wills, or Becton will be better, but it sure seems he could've traded down a few spots & gotten his guy + another asset. (Also what was with Gettelman putting a mask on after the pick? Is he trying to show solidarity during NY media interviews?)

ESPN had their montage of QBs falling in the draft. Tua didn't fall, but they played it anyway.
