Re: 2014 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

Plus, didn't they stop showing the green room right before picks last year, or the year before, to try and stop that?

Now it's just all the "I need to be first!" people on Twitter who 'spoil' everything.

I think the NFL Network last year said they weren't going to show any reactions until the name was read.

Yep, they didn't show any reactions last year. At this point it's the viewer's fault if they get spoiled because no one is forcing them to constantly look at Twitter. I don't understand why some people bitch and moan on Twitter the entire day about this like they weren't expecting it to happen.

I miss the Green Room mainly for things like Brady Quinn...

Re: 2014 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

I think it sucks that the picks are announced before they're announced on stage. We're online because we're football fans and we want to discuss with other football fans as it happens. That's half the fun. A while back we used to have an OS Chat Room going on AIM for the draft. Every year that thing was a blast.

Now you might say "they're being announced anyway and you're discussing it anyway" but you're watching the draft to watch picks announced by the commissioner, not by some ****head writer online. Well, at least I do. It's just anticlimactic is all.

At this point, I'm so sick of the draft discussion that I'd be happy to wake up tomorrow and see every pick has been spoiled already.

The draft never falls like they say the only two people I listen to about draft are Mayock and Brandt they actually know what they are talking about and not blowing smoke and hype at you.

Not everyone has access to the NFL Network so it's not their fault if their watching ESPN and it happens. I believe ESPN is going to do the same thing this year.

Aaron Murray visiting the Browns' next week.

McCarron worked out the other day.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

Murray and the QB from LSU are gonna thrive. I think Murray will end up being the top 2-3 QB in this draft after a couple years. But what do I know?

^^^The Lions had Mettenberger in for a visit. If he was just there after a few rounds, I wouldn't mind them taking him.

In other news Tom Savage, Pitt's QB, has been invited to the draft which seems odd. Guess his stock is climbing.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

Nothing has infuriated me more this draft cycle than the apparent meteoric rise of Tom Savage's draft stock.

I watched him play against Virginia. Small sample size and whatnot, but he was just terrible. The only reason that he wasn't the worst quarterback I saw on the field in college last season is because Virginia had the worst starting quarterback in the entirety of FBS last year.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

Everything I read about Savage says he has all the physical tools, he just needs to pull the mental aspect together. Idk, since I never watched him play, but we know how scouts and GMs fall in love with potential.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

I kinda like what I see in Tom savage (only saw him play in the bowl game) but he belongs no where near the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd round. I'd say 5th round at best

Re: 2014 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

I've only seen Savage play a couple times but his wrists concerned me. I like my quarterback to have a wider wrist so that when they throw the ball, you get that "snap".

If that happens, I'm gonna assume it'll be because they got to learn for a few years as opposed to starting for a team that sucks.
