Iowa was a 10 win team with a shitty pair of guards. They leaned on a freshman center and Wirfs and Alaric Jackson who was hurt a lot.

Wirfs made that run game and gave their overrated QB time to do stuff.

Wirfs is a monster and will be a perennial pro bowler

I don't know why I'm watching, it will be 11:30 pm before the Patriots pick, and they'll probably trade out of the first round

I saw a recent breakdown of the 2015 draft. The only great player out of the top 10 was Schreff, an O lineman from Iowa.

You would think the NFL would realize what Iowa does.

Derrick Brown over Isaiah Simmons also a bit of a surprise, but that Panthers run defense was hideous last year...

I like this draft more than any other, because I dont have to watch Deion Sanders interviewing the guys just picked.

You would think the NFL would realize what Iowa does.

Perhaps the NFL has realized the Redskins have been a shitty team with a good guard who they drafted at 1.5?

Trying to remember the last Patriot from Iowa.

I'd be pretty annoyed with Epenesa tonight, though fine with him on Day 2. Would much prefer one of the LB's (Queen, Murray) or EDGE guys like Chaisson who can occasionally drop into space, Epenesa is strictly hand in the ground (Same with Gross-Matos.) I guess the WR's are falling so maybe one of the speedsters is still there at 24 plus Delpit could be a McCourty replacement if he's there, though a trade down into the early 2nd to target Cole Kmet or a WR like Mims or Shenault is also my most likely guess.

Wirfs has short arms so I'm sure there's concern (or even an assumption) he ends up at guard.

Can't really complain about the Cards pick, looks like simmons fell to them. Can't believe Panthers didn't take him after Kuekle retired

I believe not a 1st round pick, BUT, Fernetz and belichek are close. Very close. There may be some influence there. But maybe not.

Stop me if you've heard this before. With their 1st round draft pick, the Raiders select the fastest WR in the draft.

Next question is AJ Epenensa. Solid guy. But I didnt think he was ready. One more year at Iowa would have been a better idea. But money talks.

Yeah, this is absolutely the best part of the whole thing. I’m also assuming that is Jerry Jones’ wife but I’m going to pretend it’s his bit on the side who didn’t realize the camera was rolling yet because it makes me laugh.

If it wasn’t for all the gross adverts and “we are all in this together” mush I would agree with you. Not having all the analysts in studio together trying to one up each other has been way better in terms of watchability, and no Deion trying to be down with the youth has also helped.

I’m partial to Justin Jefferson personally. I think he’s going to be great value for a team late in the first. He looked like one of the better college WR I’ve in a while every time I watched him last year.
