I was very happy to see DL Jordan Phillips go to Miami in rd 5. When I was mocking, and was spending early picks on the O-line and DB, Phillips was a player I'd grab in rds 3-4 a lot.

Looks like Miami is going to double up on some positions here. 2nd DT just taken. Would not be surprised to see them take another OL in the 5th round as well.

Shedeur Sanders finally gets selected...by Cleveland at #144.

...in possibly unrelated news, Cleveland is now looking to extend Deshaun Watson's contract.

Whoa, Mel Kiper Jr. losing it on national TV. Anyone watching this? He just said the NFL is clueless on how to evaluate QB's. Maybe it's you Mel? He seems personally offended by where Sanders was picked. Maybe it is time for Mel to find another line of work.

lol


Cleveland already drafted Dillon Gabriel out of Oregon in the 3rd round, and they also still have Kenny Pickett.  That's going to be an interesting QB room. lol

Wow, I watched that.  Mel trying to defend himself, must have been reading all the negative comments about himself, he lost it.

Best comment I heard about Shedeur today regarding his slide... "That happens when you combine hall of fame drama and practice squad talent."

I think Shedeur is clearly more than "practice squad talent."
The owners decided to teach him a lesson.  (Though I have also heard his interviews were horrible.)

I think there was some concern about how coachable he is. He has been coached by his dad all the way through college. I feel like some teams were afraid that dad might interfere a bit with his development. That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

For what it's worth, I think there are some aftershocks here from the whole LaVar/Lonzo Ball debacle in the NBA.
The NFL doesn't want a repeat of that episode, even when the dad is one of the legends of the sport.

I completely agree that the talent is better than practice squad level. The "hall of fame drama" aspect is probably not really accurate at this point either. Maybe "pro bowl drama" would be a better fit to start, with room to grow into his true diva potential.

Are the Dolphins switching to a 4-3? I'm a little confused with a 3rd DT pick. Would have rather seen an inside LB taken somewhere. We haven't had one since Zach retired.

Mel wasn't the only only who had him pegged as the second best QB in the draft, a lot did - a few experts did expect him to fall out of the first round, but not all the way to the fifth. Nobody expected a whole handful of other QBs to be picked in between either.

Sanders must have really stunk it up in his team interviews and his FIGJAM persona put literally everyone off until he dropped so far his potential was just too good to ignore. Well played Browns I have to say.

I was happy enough with this pick.

The rest of the draft was a whole lot of meh for me though.

We got two starters with our first two picks (at desperate areas of need) which is good, and Phillips could be a decent contributor this year and potentially grow into the role of another starter.

The rest are absolutely nothing to get excited about.
