"I worry about him because of off-the-field issues," said an unnamed scout. "The kid has no life skills. At all. Can't cook. Just a baby. He's not first round for me. He scares me to death."
That has to be absolute bullshit, if not fucking hell.
Final edition of my mock, if we actually do get Tunsil we riot.
I could have done about twenty mock drafts this week. Tried to shake this one up with a couple of trades.

I could tweak that one in a load of places as well. Will probably be staying up to see how it pans out, although I have no idea how long it'll take for me to get bored & go to sleep
All it takes is one trade or one reach or one GM doing something legitimately stupid to blow the whole thing to hell. Why bother doing your own mock?
It's something to pass the time.
You can win prizes.
Oh, well that's a bit different. Not that I'm sure why it didn't occur to me that there'd probably be a competetive element.
I like the mock on... one of MMQB or SI where the guy referred to it as an "anti-mock." Basically saying he couldn't pretend to know how one individual GM might foul the whole thing up and just saying what he thought they should do instead.
What time is this at? I used to be all over it until they moved it from the weekennd and I realised it's mostly blind luck.
Coverage starts at midnights on SS1.
If he falls far enough I'm quite into the idea of Denver taking Ryan Kelly.
Isn't that basically what most mock drafts are?Originally Posted by Ian
I'd say most mocks are what they think will happen, not necessarily should, combined with what they're hearing from the teams.
I've certainly read enough previous mocks which are fully taking into account that teams such as the Raiders, to name one, were likely to pick to form (loving a physical freak, for example) rather than do something more sensible.
Even this year I don't remember any mock-ers saying Goff and Wentz should be a nailed-on 1-2, it's just now fairly obviously going to be the case.
I'm 99% sure we're taking Goff. I'd like to be wrong, but I don't think I am.
There's too much chat on it for it not to happen but I'd love that sort of curveball.
It's always great when teams go proper left field.
Although this is better due to what actually happened...
Probably the most happy a set of fans have ever been at a draft only for it to end with a butt fumble.
I still want him starting more than Kaepernick.
None other than John Elway once managed to line up under Guard so I'll run the risk of a 'butt-fumble' over that preening little shit.
Sometime during tonight one of the QBless teams will get desperate I think and make a mental offer.
We know pick #1 and #2 will be QBs. I have it as Wentz first then Goff. Just because the Browns were all set to take Wentz at #2, then when the Rams traded up they suddenly didn't want their #2 pick any more.
The picks that should shape this draft are #4 Cowboys and #6 Ravens. What these two pick will impact everyone below them except maybe the 49ers, who have to decide if #7 is too pricey for Paxton Lynch.
EDIT: Apparently Myles Jack is freefalling down the draft board. Teams are looking elsewhere, being worried about his surgically repaired knee.
I had him taking a slide (5th to 13th based on my first and final) but I can't see him going further than that. The guy seems like he could be a damn good player and has a good head on his shoulders. AP has also shown that knee injuries aren't the killers they once were.
I've heard a rumour that if Tunsil/Ramsay isn't at 6 and we can't trade down we could take Ezekiel Elliot which just seems mental. Forsett isn't exactly on his last legs, Allen and Taliaferro have run well when given a chance, West did well after he was signed last year and we still have the Richardson experiment.
If we can't trade down and Tunsil/Ramsay/Buckner isn't there I'd much rather Jack, he and Mosley could make a mean tandem.
I'm happy with either Goff or Wentz, but I really hope it's Wentz. I just like what I've seen from him.
I don't think the Ravens will trade back. You aren't likely to be in the top 6 again soon so why not take a top player.
It's all trying to play the percentages though, in the hope that the player they want wont be drafted by a run of teams based on their needs and Newsome and De Costa are two of the best at it.
Didn't realise that Nkemdiche was that mental.
Ole Miss defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche fell about 15 feet from an Atlanta hotel Saturday night, but the junior was conscious when officers reported to the scene and was in stable condition when taken to a local hospital, according to the Atlanta Police Department.
An APD report added that a small amount of what was suspected to be marijuana was found in a hotel room at the Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead. A call by The Clarion-Ledger to the hotel’s general manager, Scott Snipes, wasn’t immediately returned.
“It appears that the victim (Nkemdiche) broke the window and then walked approximately 15 feet and climbed over a wall and fell approximately 15 feet,” read the report.
He wont be in the league long.
If Tunsil(best player in the draft for me) is still free at #6 I think you take him. Bosa, Buckner, Ramsey and Tunsil are guaranteed takes. Beyond that it's down to what you get offered. If the price is enough then you move back.
San Diego, Dallas, San Francisco & Cleveland are the four big picks early on. Lots of different possible selections & it's not impossible that at least one of them trades down, which could really shake things up depending on who moves up.
I'm looking forward to this now. Just listening to a few PFF Shorts then I'll be booting up GamePass & trying not to fall asleep until at least after the Saints make their pick.
Yeah, Tunsil or Ramsay falling to us would be absolutely perfect.
I read that Mayock had us trading picks with the Titans (and them giving us the 33rd pick only) with Tunsil still there. The guys an absolute mong.
Word is the Browns and the Jags are willing to move back if the price is right. The Browns want to move up their 2nd round pick as well as backing up in the 1st.
Wait til teams are on the clock. It's going to go off I think.
The first pick should only get like a 2/3 minute window, especially if said team has traded up.
What wankers the Rams are for taking nearly the whole 10 minutes.
A quarterback as a first pick?
Shocker.
I think you'll see a lot of that as we move past #2.
Teams will want to see just how mental the offers will be.
In before Philly take someone that isn't Wentz.
After 1 and 2 sure I understand that, but it's not like the Rams were taking calls having given up a mountain for Goff.
So glad we didn't fuck that up. Now it really gets interesting.
@Mahow I agree. If Goff really was their man all along they didn't need another 9 minutes to decide.
Ezekiel Elliott is wearing some incredible gear tonight
Fucking hell
Jerry will probably take him just for that, to be fair.
Oh shit, didn't see that coming.
Bosa to the Chargers. That should kick things off
Ramsay or Tunsil is fucking on
Interesting...
Ravens get Tunsil and Mahow riots.
He seems like a nice chap, hope he does well.
Please do something stupid, please do something stupid, please do something stupid
They surely have to take some Romo protection here.
This sounds like it has to be Ramsey then.
Cowboys should take Ramsey, their secondary is shambolic.
Running backs can be had off the street, especially with a line like the Cowboys.
Someone calm @Mahow.
Jerry's got involved there.
Spending the 4th pick on a running back
This isn't the early 00's lads.
Excellent, get straight out there & call Jalen Ramsey's name next.
Think you're safe now Mahow.
How we've got one of the two best talents in the draft I will never know.
What a win this is
It has to be the outfit that swung it, right? Jerry couldn't help himself.
