2023 NFL draft thread

[Kim_Jong_Poon_]

Cowboys just drafted the son of one of their scouts. That's going to be awkward when they cut him in September

 

[EraGodless]

JaMarcus Russel was a big fat guy with a strong arm.
He played in the SEC when it was dominated by run-heavy offenses and he never had the chance to prove how bad he was.
He was also at least a quarter retarded. Whoever decided to draft him should be shot against a brick wall.

Edit: there's a great story one of his Raider teammates told on a podcast where the QB coach gave Russell a disk to take home, that he said contained a bunch of plays he wanted him to watch over the weekend and then tell them the next week which ones he liked. Only the tape was blank. Russell came in on Monday and was like, "Yeah coach, I like all these plays. They all look good."

He was legendarily stupid.

A combo of JaMarcus Russell and Sam Bradford is why there is a rookie salary cap.

Russell ($40 million in career earnings) and Bradford ($130 million in career earnings) made over $20 million combined more for their careers than Montana, Aikman, and Elway. The owners needed to be saved from themselves.

I'll bet 100 ribs @ 5-1 that Anthony Richardson will have the more successful rookie campaign over Stroud and Young with any nigga here

Lol. Did you actually watch him play? Without Young, that was a 4 or 5 loss Bama team- he had them two plays away from being undefeated and playing for the SEC championship and in the CFP. I'm not sure why, but Alabama has struggled developing the WR position the past couple of years (Jameson Williams was an Ohio State transfer and already polished) and even though they signed top running back recruits, they just haven't produced like Bama backs from a couple of years ago. Young was their entire offense. If Young were 6'2, he would be labeled a generational prospect/can't miss. Meanwhile, Richardson is a literal crapshoot. He needs to sit and learn, but it looks like the Colts are going to start him from the get-go. I don't see it working out.

Yeah, there's no way Colts can keep Richardson on the bench and not give the appearance that they're not tanking. A year off and focusing on the QB room would probably be huge for him

Still don't hate the prospect tho

That's a fair take.

When I played madden as a kid, the rookie contracts were so annoying that I wouldn't sign any draft picks, just release them all into free agency and then sign them as free agents. They NEVER signed with another team.

Yeah... There has been a dropoff in production from Bama WRs, but remember they had a ridiculous string of consecutive first round picks in Cooper, Ridley, Jeudy, Ruggs, Waddle, Smith, Jameson, and Metchie. That's an unprecedented run of talent. There was bound to be a dropoff.

Regarding RBs, their roster has never been deeper. They've made a commitment to rotating 2-3 at a time guys to prevent wear and tear, but also to ensure guys get carries and don't leave. So you're not going to see a Bama RB win the Heisman again for a while because they don't get enough carries. As a Bama fan, their consistency recruiting RBs is one of the only things I'm not worried about going forward.

And that speaks to the big problem Saban's now facing that is taking some time to figure out - the portal. He's losing 4-5 star recruits who don't want to wait behind older players. The last 3 recruiting classes for example, they had at least three if not four high-4 star WRs come in each year, and by the next year half of them were gone. I look at the roster now and their sophomore class could turn out to be really good with Law, Prentice, and Bond, but there's no telling if they'll stick around.

With the new OC from Notre Dame, I think Saban is returning to the smash mouth approach of his '08-15 teams and will rely less on passing anyway. With so many teams now built to defend RPOs and air aid offenses, it might be time to go old school again and start pushing people around.

Oh...You were finished?? Well allow me to retort...
Post your contact info so we can sue you for libel.
Oh, what? You can’t do that? Why not? I’m sure you have ample proof to back your ridiculously malicious and false accusations of misogyny, alleged acts of racism, legal charges of pedophilia, and the rest of your bullshit buzz-words that are used by millennials like you, who with no conscience whatsoever throw around those once very powerful words for the sole purpose of gaining the upper hand and public support of your constituents whenever you get involved in an altercation. Problem is, most people have a hard time believing anonymous users on a site known for using these tactics in an attempt to damage reputations and interfere with ones right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (sound vaguely familiar?)
The core purpose your sub is driven by envy, jealousy, failure, having no sense of purpose in your life and the desire to be prominent amongst of your equally dysfunctional pals on your ever diminishing platform. They’ve now become the magically shrinking Opie and Anthony related subreddits. Good move not using an O&A related name.
You’re now constantly being attrited and for good and wholesome reasons...Good will always triumph over evil.
Read on:
What this poster hasn’t mentioned is that every last DMCA that has been filed by myself, either on my own or with legal authorization by others who wish they had the time and energy to do so, are completely and totally legitimate and legal. There’s nothing false or illegal about the DMCA’s that I’ve filed. All Photos and videos on the internet were taken by someone, therefore someone owns the copyright to every last one of those photos and videos. I’m thorough in my filing. The sub just has too many ignorant members that don’t listen to the more logical moderators, and refrain from posting photos and videos that are reportable. They’re blinded by their desire to have their 15 mins and more importantly by their very real and palpable hatred.
Reddit has too much to lose and will never take the stance of a “Kiwi Farms” type of forum that a few sociopathic individuals run in their Moms house. They’re doing the only thing they can, taking infringing content down. If and when Reddit Legal receives enough of those legitimate DMCA’s they shut down the sub. It’s really that simple. So for Johnny Cakes, Frunkass, and the other dozen or so sociopaths on that sub who suck all the fun out of what a subreddit is supposed to be... and fantasize about a lawsuit against me.... I have one word... SUBPOENA. Stop already.
I’ve filed 100’s of legitimate DMCA’s over the past several months, admittedly with the sole intention of having Opie and Anthony related subs banned. They’ve dedicated themselves to libel, harassment, and outright real-life bullying on and off the sub. Not just name calling and ridicule. I could care less about that. Their anonymity is what empowers them to post libelous and defamatory content. If not for that anonymity, which I believe is the reason for them not filing a single counter claim, they would find themselves in civil court facing a large number of defamation and libel suits by many of their “victims”.
There’s a reoccurring pattern of them using my intellectual property as Illustrations to accompany their ridiculous accusations of projected (typically) pedophilia, misogyny, anti-Semitism, Homosexuality etc... toward my family, friends and myself. They’re in the habit of using other individuals Intellectual property to drive home their abysmal message of hatred and libel.
So Again, there’s been nothing illegal about any of the DMCA’s I’ve filed. For me to do so would be a dire mistake on my part. I’m achieving the desired results playing by the rules. Why jeopardize that? REMINDER: This sub has gone so far as to brigade and bully my employers to the point of them letting me go from a few of my jobs, all in the name of “having fun picking on old guys”. That’s the only reason they’ve ever given for their atrocious behavior. This sub brigades to the point of bullying venues, agencies and other people in the entertainment industry into avoiding me, by utilizing dozens of anonymous emails and phone calls...many using the names of past Opie and Anthony guests, show members and friends to further try to get my attention and aggravate.
This particular sub consisting mainly of envious millennials loves to reiterate the fact that I’m 60 and for the most part retired (according to the sub”70 and near death”) and that I have a stream of income due to business dealings with my brother. They like to call it “welfare”, and are constantly mocking the fact that I have income that’s not worked for. They like to call me a leech. Why they do this is beyond me. In addition to the fact that they think I’m a bum, they put a large amount of effort into taking my work (which they call a hobby) away from me and my band members.
It became personal for me when the sub (and it’s 7 or so now banned predecessors) started harassing and bullying my 11 year old daughter, my deceased Mother, My innocent Sister, and my longtime GF, all for the purpose of trying to rile me up and get a reaction out of me to use as fodder for the sub. Interfering with my every day real-life has become a game of sorts for them, supposedly it was brought upon by a comment I made some years back. “You have no effect on my life”.... meaning that an internet forum that shit-talks people...especially people with any amount of notoriety, has the absolute right to do so, but in reality..does nothing to affect my bottom line $ or my real world reputation.
I support 1A, I defended that right, amongst others. by serving in the Army for 3yrs. (another fact that this particular subreddit seems to love mocking) People have the right to say what they want. When it became a “challenge” for the sub to get my attention, they took it to the next level. That’s where the line between 1A right and libelous accusations that damage ones reputation, employability and the right to live a life undeterred by malicious internet trolls was crossed. All for the sake of getting someone’s attention and having “fun” hurting a “boomer”.
My Reddit post karma alone is clear evidence of brigading. The downvoting that this comment alone will incur by the brigading, bee hive mentality of the O&A related sub shows that there’s collusion amongst the members of this subreddit and its moderators to do real life damage to certain people they see as “less than human”. Phone calls to my business and texts to my business number calling for my untimely death, taunting, horrific allegations...All of that means ZERO to me. Commentary about me and my brother written and posted on the sub, means nothing to anyone but the sub.
When my family became the focus of the Opie and Anthony leftover psychopaths, it Became a problem that needed to be dealt with.
I liken what I’ve been FORCED to do (DMCA’s) with something that I was always intrigued with:
When Chicago mobster and really really bad guy, Al Capone (aka The Sub), was on a rampage against his enemies in the 20-30’s (Innocent Family and Friends) the Feds couldn’t imprison him for murder (aka- the subs libelous and malicious harassment and real life bullying, job interference, Doxxing my 11 year old daughters info). They did finally find a way to make his empire (aka- Opie and Anthony subreddit) crumble though fervently prosecuting him for the the less serious crime (but serious enough to get the job done) of tax evasion (aka-Copyright Infringement). They went another way entirely to get the desired results for the purpose of removing an evil, evil man from civilized society.
I (we) will continue to report this evil sub and file legitimate and legal DMCA’s at every turn until it’s gone.
Stop interfering with people’s real lives and livelihoods, and we’ll leave your stupid sub alone. Plain and simple.

I'm a huge ND fan. Good look with Rees and Buchner. Lol. Rees' biggest issue is that sometimes he tries to prove that he's the smartest guy in the room and he will call atleast 10 head scratching play calls a game. He's also not particularly good at in-game adjustments. You should watch the 2nd half ND vs Navy (2022). One of the worst halves of play calling I have ever seen.

That said, I don't think Buchner went to Bama to sit. At ND, he was a play away from being starter and most likely the starter in 24/25. Buchner transferring to Bama must mean that Saban/Rees are not particularly happy with Milroe and Ty Simpson going into 2023. I'm surprised Milroe hasn't hit the portal yet. It's too early to really know anything about the two true freshman QB's.

They have signed top running backs, but I really don't see any gamebreakers at the position-- maybe it will be Justice Haynes or Richard Young. It will be interesting to see how Emmanuel Henderson/Jamarion Miller do in their second seasons as they were non-facrors in 2022.

Kinda related to da thread. I have money on some basketball teams cos i got a free bet on the NBA. So i have watched a couple of the games to see how my picks were doing and ho lee shit! American sports is fucking gay.

There are ad breaks for popeyes every 2 minutes and at one point during the commentary break Chris Tucker came in studio and started doing Michael Jackson dance moves which spurred Shaq, Charles Barkley and some other faggot to start doing it.

Get rid of the ad breaks and just put sponsors on the players kits ffs. Fucking unwatchable, over half of the 3 hours i was sat there was spent watching niggers sink their comically oversized lips into popeyes chicken sandwiches.

Kiper should grade this on a curve. It's said to be the weakest class since 2013. If you picked 3 guys in Mel's top 40 it doesn't matter since they'll probably be shit. Just give everyone a C and move on.
