NFL Draft

Why would you think that? Seriously, why?

Because the league needs good p.r. for their absolute bumbling of the Washington nickname?

Well, when defensive end Sam is drafted and there is at least one other defensive end who is bigger, faster, stronger, and a much better athlete who goes undrafted, it makes you wonder.

At best, that sounds like a closeted homophobic remark, at worst the mumbling of someone that takes the draft seriously.
 
He's a big hitter, but in the Ryan/Thurman defensive model, strong safety is the least important of the defensive backs. The top cover corner in the draft had fallen to them, and corner is the most important position on this defense. They can't use their blitzes if they can't go man on the wife receivers.

Personally, I think the Giants stymied therm by taking the wide receiver they wanted instead of Martin for their terrible offensive line.

Sure they can - they can still blitz 5 or even 6 people. You can't just do the all out blitz.

Pryor was a smart pick - great value range and a FS has been missing for quite a while (since Rhodes). Idzik and Rex both loved him.

Closeted homophobe? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? If I were a homophobe, why would I want to remain closeted on a message board like this one where I'm posting anonymously? No, I have nothing at all against homosexuals. I just don't like affirmative action when someone more deserving is passed over for someone less deserving. And no, I'm not a closeted racist, if that's your next remark.

Apparently the NFL draft is a big deal, because it's in all the headlines that Sam was drafted.

Affirmative action? He was SEC defensive player of the year , ya dope.

BULLSHIT!
Affirmative Action? You're delusional!

Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and All-American Jackson Jeffcoat went undrafted. He's bigger, faster, stronger, and a much better athlete than Michael Sam. He's now going to Seattle, as a free agent.

Quit being stupid.

He's from Texas, and ALL the players from Texas graded LOWER than Sam. EVERY FREAKING ONE OF THEM!!
 
Affirmative action doesn't exist? You're the one who is delusional if you think that.

I'm telling you that your statement of Sam's drafting as Affirmative Action is bullshit and makes you delusional. Also...

IT'S JUST A FREAKING GAME! Why on Earth do you care so much about the draft? Are you a hardcore gambler that you NEED to know where someone's going next season?
 
A brief look at the douchebag that is the Titans' #1 pick:

Shortly after the woman reported the rape, she began to receive threats from Gibbons roommate and fellow football player, Taylor Lewan (now an All-American), that he would rape her again if she pressed charges against Gibbons.

The threats were reported by two other football players to the Office of Student Affairs who reported them to the University police. The University police did a “wellness check” on the young woman[9] and met with Taylor Lewan. They warned Taylor Lewan not to threaten the woman again and that he might face criminal charges[10]. No criminal charges were ever filed by the campus police.

But at least he's not gay! :eek:

As a matter of fact, I am a gambler.
 
It may be just a game to you, but that's not the case with everyone.

Yeah, those that love to try to make money off the backs of people who aren't paid for their labors. Oh, they're paid to play the game, but not receiving a dime from those that gamble on their work.

Do I play fantasy football? Never have
Do I bet on football games? Never have
Do I play fantasy/rotisserie baseball? Never have
 
Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and All-American Jackson Jeffcoat went undrafted. He's bigger, faster, stronger, and a much better athlete than Michael Sam. He's now going to Seattle, as a free agent.

But he's not healthier given that he has an injury history of sufficient caliber to scare off teams.

Further, from NFL.com: In addition, he has an injury history, is not all that physical or strong and never truly has shown he can stop the run.

In short, there appears to be credible reasons as to why he went undrafted.
