They should just have former NFL players from each team ride in on a tank at this point. I don't know what other tributes they possibly have left to do.

Packers have picked two tight ends.  Hard to believe they found two after the first round.

Like starting pitching in MLB, you can NEVER have enough tight ends.

The Army pays A TON in ads and sponsorship to the NFL directly, not just network ad buys.  They pay good money for all of this forced absurdity

Oh yeah, I know the armed forces are waist deep in sponsoring the NFL.

Tonight was just absurd with the amount of "stuff" going on.

Much like Shaka, I think the Lions went with players who fit the culture they are trying to build.   Dan Campbell guys.   Which is why they would not have taken Carter.
    I also think they believe the second half of the season was proof of concept and not a fluke.  So guys who weren't completely synced are gone or being shopped.  Okudah.  Swift.
    The first round picks no longer make me nauseous.   I like the day 2 picks.   

Stay healthy, have some fun.

Agree.  The fear of running back selections  is overblown by social media/armchair blogger fans.  Very few backs are selected to be the workhorse backs of yore like Earl Campbell (Derrick Henry being the exception).  If they get 4-5 productive years out of Gibbs as a hybrid back, the pick was worth it.

Thank God the Bears filled that glaring RB need. Final piece to the puzzle.  ::)

OL, Edge, TE even a backup QB would be better.

I lived in Houston when Campbell was at his best. In a press conference one day, Bum Phillips was asked if Earl was head and shoulders better than any other running back. "Earl may not be in a class by hisself", quipped Bum, "but it don't take long to call the roll!"

I figured he was gone after the Gibbs pick. Huge upgrade for Detroit at the RB position.

Props to the Bengals fan who flipped a coin at the podium before announcing their 4th round pick.

Goodell immediately put a hit out on the guy as he got backstage.

Bizarre pick. Better QB options still available, and a guy who would have been available as an undrafted free agent.

If you ever went to Georgia, lived in Georgia or visited Georgia, Howie Roseman will use a draft pick to acquire you.

In that case, perhaps hire him as a coach than burn a 5th rd pick.
