So I'm guessing this will be one of the most-watched NFL Drafts ever, given that there's no baseball, basketball, hockey, or soccer on. What are your wish lists for your teams?
I hear some talk about the Bengals maybe picking a QB first round :ph34r:
Hoping the Steelers do the same. <_<

Not to be laughed at is generally the most I can hope for the Deadskins.
You support the Redskins, Valmy? Why does a Texan inflict that on himself?
Wyoming has an LB that might get drafted! Wyoming has an LB that might get drafted! Sing songs in the street.

He has his reasons. Plus, it builds character.

Because my Dad and Grandfather were big Redskins fans. My family lived in Maryland for 300 years remember.
Also I was a kid during their glory years. They won the Super Bowl when I was 5, 9, and 14. That is something that leaves a lasting impact...I just cannot root for anybody else in the NFL, especially the fucking Cowboys (complicated by the fact that their owner is an Arkansas Razorback who hates the Texas Longhorns my favorite College Team). Houston has a weird status in Texas, unless you live around Houston the rest of the state doesn't really care for it, I have little emotional attachment to the Texans but hey their situation is almost as shitty as the Redskins anyway.
The Texans will always have the Rosencopter

:lol: Classic.
Anyway, with everyone in this draft being remote, it has been a lot of logistical fun getting everyone set up. Some coaches had such shitty internet access speed at their house, we had no idea how they had been able to do anything with it.
Hey that 14.4k modem is a classic

Don't change what isn't broken. :contract:
Still trying to abide by my NFL lack of caring/partial ban, but my dad is super excited for the Raiders' draft. I guess it'll be intersting to see how the newest Browns GM and coach manage to mess things up. Though I've heard they had a good off-season so far.

NFL coaches are notoriously cheap. They're too accustomed to getting things for free.
Deep passers and very fast wideouts should be at a premium.

J.J Watt in his prime was better than any Redskin in the last 20 years.
For the Pats, bodies in the front 7. Also, a QB, a TE in mid rounds.
So, Round 1 of the 2021 draft?

Agreed on that. They badly lacked a good TE and offensive line, though with the O line injured players coming back will help. If those players are coming back, don't know. They need a QB. Brady is irreplaceable so we fans can't set our expectations too high. Hmm, maybe I'll cheer for Tampa Bay now... :)
