No comments on the draft?

The Giants ?

Washington?

This Haskins situation is stirring things up a little.

The Bengals drafted Michael Jordan.

The last time I had any comments on the draft was when I was about to lose my student deferment.

I'm kinda happy with that draft. Now if we could only trade Daniel Snyder.

Of course we won't know for a few years, but I believe the Steelers had an EXCELLENT draft.

I love the Raider's draft picks.

Agreed. How much longer does Big Ben play?

My sincere condolences to all those picked by Buffalo.
Look at the upside - at least you can get good wings.

Steelers drafted

Devin Bush ? Devin something

He's a good ballplayer. He doesn't seem freakishly fast or super strong or any of those amazing alliterations, but he does look rock solid.

My nephew wrestled and played football with Michael in high school. Good kid, started OSU early. Great grades, actual real classes. Hope he does well. Being a Michigan fan I've never said this about a Buckeye...lol

Here's a link to the draft......the 2016 NFL draft. Anything more recent cannot be judged, let alone graded.

Its not easy to be objective. We will use Pro Bowl selections to determine who did best. Atlanta was number 1, with three Pro Bowl players taken from the draft. The Rams had three, sort of. Two were draft picks and an undrafted free agent was the third. Dallas obviously had a successful draft selecting Zeke Elliot and Prescott (4th round). Jacksonville, Chicago and Tennessee were the other teams to nab two Pro Bowlers from the 2016 draft. Other notables: Carson Wentz to Philly, Joey Bosa to the Chargers, Jalen Ramsey to the Jaguars, Michael Thomas to the Saints, Jordan Howard to the Bears and likely to be suspended Tyreek Hill to the Chiefs.

I prefer using All-Pro. Pro bowl has popularity built in. All- Pro is the best at that position in the entire league. That's why last year the Colts had the best draft. Two All-Pro first teamers as rookies. Tremendous draft.

It looks good at this point, but realistically we need two more years to see all the teams to truly judge the Colts (or any) team's 2018 draft.
