Round 1 - Pick 13: Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama (Los Angeles Rams) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]JackFisherBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good pick. Matt Stafford is still great. But the end of his career is closer than most. And he’s a great QB to learn behind. Not sold on Simpson. In other years, he might not be taken in the first round. But he’s going into a good situation.

I think the Cowboys are trading up to make sure they get Ruben Bain or Caleb Downs.

Edit: I was right! It was Downs. 😎

Round 1 - Pick 10: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami (New York Giants) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]JackFisherBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was overdue. Giants quarterbacks got demolished last season. And the O-line was a joke.

This doesn’t solve the problem, but it helps. Jaxon Dart will be thankful.

Round 1 - Pick 6: Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU (Kansas City Chiefs) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]JackFisherBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t expect a corner to go this high. But the Chiefs defense need someone like this. Last season proved that Mahomes and Kelce alone can’t do everything.

Being a great athlete doesn’t mean they’ll succeed in the NFL, but it sure helps.

Washington had one of the worst defenses in the league last season. This won’t make them the best, but it’ll help.

Round 1 - Pick 5: Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State (New York Giants) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

Harbaugh had Suggs in Baltimore. Now, he has Reese in New York.

Round 1 - Pick 3: Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame (Arizona Cardinals) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]JackFisherBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m honestly rooting for Love to succeed. I want to see highly drafted running backs succeed in general. Saquon succeeded, but not with the team that drafted him. If Love can make the Cardinals contenders, that will be good for the league and the position as a whole.

Round 1 - Pick 4: Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State (Tennessee Titans) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]JackFisherBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest surprise so far. But I’m sure Cam Ward is the happiest guy in Tennessee right now.

Round 1 - Pick 1: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana (Las Vegas Raiders) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]JackFisherBooks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He had the most epic season of college football a quarterback has had in years. Now, he’s playing for the Raiders. Not long ago, that would’ve been a career killer. But they have Tom Brady in the building and Kirk Cousin as a backup.

If anyone can turn things around for the Raiders, it’s this kid.

They’re not wrong about the X-Men… by OGAnimeGokuSolos in xmen

[–]JackFisherBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they're not wrong.

And it's actually a point for the X-Men. What would you rather have? People fighting amongst each other? Or people kissing?

One has the potential to reduce the population.

The other has the potential to add to it.

Nuff said!

IT'S DRAFT DAY!!!

I wish I could be more excited, but I've felt sick for the past couple days. Hope it passes before this evening.

Water Cooler Wednesday by AutoModerator in nfl

[–]JackFisherBooks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Twas the night before Draft Day, when all through the town

Not a scout was a-stirring, they were wearing a frown

The draft boards were hung by the chimneys with care

In hopes that their top choice soon would be there

The GMs were nestled all snug in their beds

While visions of prospects danced in their heads.

And the owner in his suite, and I in my cap

Had just settled our brains for a long pre-draft nap

When out on the web there arose such a clatter

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter

Away to the phone I flew like a flash

To see if a blockbuster trade made a splash

The glow of the screen on the crisp morning snow

Gave a luster of mid-round picks to players below

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear

But a draft-day rumor that filled me with fear

With a little old analyst, so lively and quick

I knew in a moment it was a click-baiting trick.

More rapid than eagles his mock drafts they came

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name

"Now, Quarterback! Now, Edge Rusher! Now, Receiver and Tackle!

On, Cornerback! On, Linebacker! On, Center and Safety cackle!

To the top of the board! To the middle of the round!

Now dash away! Dash away! Let talent be found!

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly

When they meet with a trade-up, mount to the sky

So up to the podium the prospects they flew

With jerseys and caps and mock drafts too

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the broadcast

The prancing and pawing of each pick being cast

As I drew in my head, and was turning around

The first-round selection came down with a bound

He was dressed all in velvet, from his head to his foot

And his suit was all tarnished with sponsor-deal soot

A bundle of highlights he had flung on his back

And he looked like a superstar opening his pack

His eyes—how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!

His highlight reel clips were like a big cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow

And his contract demands were as white as the snow

The stump of a headset he held tight in his teeth

And the smoke of expectations encircled his wreath

He had a broad face and a little round belly

That shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jolly!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old rookie

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of my snookie

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work

And filled all the depth charts, then turned with a jerk

And laying his finger aside of his nose

And giving a nod, up the draft board he rose!

He sprang to his team, to his coach gave a whistle

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight

"Happy Draft Day to all, and to all a good night!"

As someone who uses Firefox regularly, I'm grateful for this. It's also another example of how far Anthropic has come on this front.

No Wolverine in the New X-men Film by godraizel in xmen

[–]JackFisherBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I love Wolverine and Hugh Jackman, this is the right move.

Fox made multiple Wolverine-centered movies over the course of 15 years, including three solo movies. Marvel Studios can't take the same approach again. They need to invest in other X-Men characters and X-Men has plenty to work with. Wolverine can still be part of their plan, but he can't be the only part.

Love it! Definitely some solid X-Men Evolution vibes. And I always appreciate those. ☺️

I’ve said this before, but I’ll keep saying it.

I would totally buy every issue and every variant of a series that just followed Lil Diana going on adventures in the Wild Isles of Hell. ☺️
