This is the weirdest draft class I can remember the Giants ever having.  10 picks...three offensive linemen, three defensive backs, four linebackers.

I think Gettleman killed it in the first five rounds but don’t know enough about the sixth/seventh rounders to say anything.  I know you’re just looking for special teams and practice squad depth by then but not diversifying positions a bit is surprising.

Deepest WR class in the last 25 years and they didn’t take any of them.  I know their top three are solid but Sterling Shepard had multiple concussions last year and Golden Tate is 32 years old.

I think he was just playing the odds there. Not a bad idea. Take a cluster of DBs and OL and LBs and you're bound to hit on one of them, right?

Pretty much.  I feel good about the OL picks and the fourth round CB who I think could be a slot option.  The linebackers though, they paid good money to two LBs this offseason, and have a really promising guy returning after injury last year.  They’re a 3-4 team so they’ll keep 8-10 LBs on the roster but still, some of these dudes are practice squad bound.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, but if they show promise, they're cheap depth! 

Should be interesting to see where Trey Adams gets an camp invite. 

@Your Mom, Rodrigoooooooooooo got an Indianapolis Colts invite.

2019 FCS sacks leader John Daka is apparently already signing with the Ravens after going undrafted.

Washington have picked up Thaddeus Moss, son of Randy.

In some ways it feels like the draft is really the end of the NFL “season”.  After the Super Bowl you’ve got the coaching carousel, then Combine, then free agency, then the draft.  Only then is it three months of nothing until training camp.

And this year, who knows....for all we know this is it for football/sports as a whole for 2020.

John Elway said we should expect Denver to sign probably 8-10 UDFA. So far, an hour or so after the draft, he's got two.

For those that want to check their team or follow along. They're updating it as soon as things are happening.

I'm a bit concerned about the Patriots draft.  There were a few head scratchers and some serious reaches.  Keene for one, that kicker is another.

Speaking of said kicker, turns out he's a 3 Percenter.  Ugh.

Realllllllly intrigued by Binjimen Victor and Austin Mack, both WRs from Ohio State.  Giants signed them both and with their depth at that spot being paper thin, I could easily see one of them being the token UDFA to make the team.

[Lineker]

Baltimore have signed Rick Steiner's kid

Josh McCown, probably the greatest mobile/scrambling quarterback ever to play for the Eagles.

A.J. Green the CB has signed with Cleveland so there is hope we'll get to see A.J. Green covering A.J. Green in a live NFL game.

[Lineker]

Sounds like Jameis Winston is signing for the Saints.

And the Jets have signed Lamar Jackson the CB!

A 1 year deal surely to be in the Bridgewater role should Brees get injured. It really makes me question how much they actually think Taysom Hill is their future QB now that they've done this 2 years running. Sounds like they're just leading the guy on.

[TCO]

Hill is a gadget player who's nearly 30 and has thrown 15 passes in the NFL. Both he and the Saints are well aware that he's not a franchise QB, they were trying to inflate his trade value to see if anybody would bite.
