The difference is significant. It used to be like this back when Kiper was the guy everyone at ESPN made fun of. Him just doing his thing on every pick.
Yep, as usual, ESPN and NFLN are disregarding what their core audience prefers in favor of trying to expand their audience to people who are far less enthusiastic. And, for one, they've lost me for good. I'm now a PFF guy all the way. They do what ESPN USED to do.

What we need is a Rams draft day feed. The Rams need to hire a draftnik and do one of these, some nerdy bastid who loves this shit and lives in his mother's basement making RAS spreadsheets.
 
Watching ESPN, and they showed BBQ. Ironically enough, I'm going to KC next week (boccia tournament, hope I take gold) and will have delicious KC BBQ! No offense meant to the Lou, but KC BBQ is heavenly. Hope I eventually get the chance to have Texas BBQ. Also want to go to Buffalo Wild Wings soon, see my sister who works there.

I am a little excited about how good this Oline might become. I love, love, love the Avila pick. If he stays healthy and is a stout lineman, that will do wonders for us. Matthew Stafford, who's feeling realy healthy, will step into the pocket and have time to find Cooper Kupp and Tutu Atwell. Yes, I said Tutu! That little guy us fast and can catch the ball and Matthew will find him on "go" routes this year, when he didn't have time for that last year. I just freakin' hope Cam do something this year and prove me wrong.

Ahem. I may not be a guy, I may not live in my mom's basement, but I'd love to do this with someone else (nominating @jrry32 ).

Maybe it extends Stafford's career (and our need for the next guy) by a year or two*.

On that late night draft day recap Les did last night he mentioned they made a conscious effort to give Stafford room to step up by ensuring there are two big OGs next to the center. Specifically mentioned the Saints and how they did that for Brees some years back, guys who could not be pushed into the pocket.

This goes back to what I've always said about Allen. He's the type of center who is fine IF you put strong guards on either side of him. Chances are that's how things go this year, though it is possible Avila plays center himself. Either way we do seem to have the horses, the raw quality of talent needed on the interior, to field a good line.

Eh, I prefer mine dry rub, and I prefer my wings boneless (call me crazy, but I want to have the feeling of eating it all, and while I'll eat bone-in, I prefer boneless), but yeah, I love BBQ.
 
I bet someone takes him before the seventh; he was a potential second round pick. But if he's there, pull the trigger.

The competition at IOL and Edge OLB's is going to be very strong this pre-season.

I've got to believe we're going to load up DB's with UDFA's.
Still expecting a big RB replacement for Malcolm Brown.
Another developmental DT seems like a move, probably an ILB also.
Has WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton been picked up yet ?

Never cared for the sweet stuff tbh. Mustard or vinegar based all day

Boneless wings?! I believe you mean chicken nuggets. :laugh1:

Eh, I just love honey. And yeah, I meant boneless wings. I love to have the feeling of finishing everything because...well, I grew up in a household where all of the food on the plate was meant to be eaten. And I'm...not a fan of bones, especially in fish.

Ideally Bruss wins a starting G spot and Shelton takes the starting Center spot. I think Shelton's shown he's the superior player there. But I have my doubts about Bruss. That injury really set his MUCH NEEDED development back.
