The official 2023 NFL draft thread (no spoilers)

Isn't Washington the TE everyone had Cincy picking in the 1st? We had to draft him at 17 or we'd be seeing him 2x a year forever?
I laugh, ha ha!!

 

I was so emoji happy I put a Defense one in there…LOL…!

 

Better late than never.

 

Yes, 40 time: 4.64 seconds (82%*), Height: 6-7 (93%*), Weight: 264 (80%*) - an insane forty time for a beast

As a junior in 2022, he played 13 games and hauled in an improved 26 catches for 417 yards for an average of 16.0 yards per catch, with 2 TDs, and a QB rating when targeted of 105.9.

 

Jball, make sure you take enough food and water when you go chain yourself to that redwood

 

Washington will be like having a sixth OL on the field.

 

I knew you’d be pumped!

 

You were pimping him pretty hard. Didn't see him dropping that far but super happy we got him where we did.

 

Watt isn’t coming back right? I could see Heyward as the FB, and then they keep 3 TE’s.

 

Pickett’s got to be loving this draft. A stud OT to protect his blindside and a monster TE who can block and should be a legit red zone threat. Biggest TE we’ve had since Eric Green.

 

Sounds like a Super Bowl thing.

 

Nickel id the Utah kid is still on the board.

 

Maybe this was brought up already, if so sorry, but anyone notice when ESPN lists "key departures" a certain linebacker didn't even make the list.

 

Stunned, he’s literally a beast. Not the cliche we always say, no he’s just a beast. I don’t care what the med is, at 93, I agree with da Steelers you take em. You have to!

 

Another uga player and I'll be even more happy. Lol

 

Well… We’d have to have 4 HOFers for that to be true.

But like all of us, it’s felt pretty great.

 

I felt through the force some Ravens complaining on a message board far away how great our picks are and that we shouldn't be allowed to ever pick again.

 

George Washington would be an upgrade over Gentry.

 

Any safety's in the 4th worth taking ?

 

4 players in kippers top 40.

Just saying

 

Great draft so far! I would not mind seeing us pick Nick Herbig in round 4, he can flat get after the quarterback!

 

Hope his knees hold up.

 

Homer shoutout here, but I’d still roll the dice on the big WR out of WVU. Ford-Wheaton I think? 6’4” and fast. Number 0
