I did wonder what happened to whoever the Nexans sent up to Green Bay to announce the first round pick. I guess he’s still sitting there in the green room with Shedeur Sanders.
I get being a FAN and I get following the draft, but I just don’t get watching the first round where it takes 20+ minutes between every pick.
I really don’t understand going to some sort of official “watch party” unless you have a top-10 or whatever pick. How anticlimactic was that for Texan fans?
I just posted earlier to say that today should be more fun than yesterday. 5 picks, between 34 and 99.
Sanders declined the invitation to attend the draft. He’s sitting at home, with his old man wondering WTF?

He had a whole room dedicated to the Draft, crowd of friends and family was there. Bookshelf with about 22 hats on it representing every team that could draft him.
I feel a bit sorry that his dad is who he is.
It takes a lot of character to resist being what your dad is when he’s the king of Look At Me.

Attention is a three headed beast. Much of the blame is on the fawning media along with the Sanders’ sycophant fandom.

Right. If his dad wasn’t who his dad is, and created the environment around him that he did, then he’d be just another QB talking shit on social media trying to break into the NFL… His being picked in the 2nd round of the draft would not be front page news
From what I’ve read, it’s his lack of character. The reason he’s fallen is entirely because of his piss-poor, entitled attitude. No team wants to touch him, irrespective of how good a football player he may be.

From what I’ve read, no coach or GM wants to deal with him, with Deion SR looking over the shoulder and maybe trying to poach someone’s NFL job if Junior fails…“Only I can fix him”
This reminds me a whole lot of LeBron’s kid getting drafted by the Lakers last year
The Texans somehow took 2 WR… both from Iowa State

That is not exactly the position of need that I expected them to target.
They also took an OL from Minnesota
Diggs left, Tank Dell = McCullers…they needed some WR/TE players
Cleveland trades up to get Sanders, after drafting an undersized QB (Gabriel)? I’m sure they’ll flourish under Watson’s mentorship.
The Nexans have drafted two Jaylins, a Jaylen and a Jayden.

And, for good measure, a Woody and an Aireontae.
Oh no they just let Jalen McLeod slip right through their fingers, and to a division rival no less.

Noticed that. Drafting for best Jay available.
Texans sign Nick Chubb. He’s battled a few injuries over the last couple of seasons, but if he’s reasonably healthy, he’s a nice addition to the backfield.
As far as I know, unlike Joe Mixon, he never coldcocked a teenaged girl half his size.
