IMO, Treadwell and Nkemdiche couldn't have landed on better teams to begin their careers. I'm not sold on the Dolphins taking Tunsil. Taking a look at their roster, it appears that they are going to move him to guard which really makes that "steal" pick null and void. I think all 3 will have great careers. I have a hard time believing Treadwell will be in Minnesota for more than 3-5 years. I think he's going to put up some pro bowl like numbers, but the Vikings, in years past, have traded high profile players especially WR's after successful seasons to gain cap space to fill needs (i.e. Randy Moss). You look in the near future, and they are going to have some needs that outweigh Treadwell's production, however great it may be. I think Nkemdiche at Arizona is a franchise pick. If Arizona finishes this draft out strong, I really like them going into next season.

ETA: I'm just happy all 3 ended up on teams that I don't give a shite about. Had one of them ended up in the NFC South (Not the Saints), it wouldn't sit well with me.

Arizona just stole the best pick of the first round. Not the best player, but the best pick. They have a veteran defensive unit that won't put up with BS. Nkemdiche gets to play at a place where he doesn't have to be the star right away but has the talent around him not to get any added attention. He will get plenty one on one opportunities.

I agree completely, not sure where you are getting at. Just making a statement?

I think he's actually a top 3 player in this draft when it comes to transitioning from CFB to the NFL.

I'm 40 years old. It was my first NFL draft. It will be my last.

I've never been a fan of the 1st round. Those guys are going to get theirs, it just depends where they end up. 3rd round is always the most intersting and my personal favorite. I guess I'm just accustomed to waiting till the second and third day to see the majority of Dawgs come off the board. I know y'all have some remaining players left in the draft (I think a DB, SS, OLB)? Where do y'all expect them to end up? I have to be honest, outside of y'all biggest playmakers, I couldn't name a single player. I don't really follow any other SEC teams besides State and LSU (hometown).

Calais Campbell will be a very good role model for Rob, and that locker room will turn him into a real pro. Love the fit there along with Treadwell. Teddy doesn't have a giant arm and Quon will be his go-to from Day 1.

I hate seeing Laremy end up in Miami, but I also kinda hate Laremy right now. As a Packer fan, I cannot stress enough how much I didn't want Laquon to end up in Minnesota, so that's a wash too, but it's a good fit. The Cardinals made off like bandits though.

The Cardinals whipped Tyrann Mathieu into shape, they can do the same with Rob.

Laquon has a good fit. Diggs can be the one, while Laquon plays the 2.

Tunsil is in a weird situation. Didn't want to see him on a AFC East team, but tbh he's not gonna win games for Miami IMO. If they move him to Guard, that's a waste.

It'll be fun watching Rob and Laremy play against each other.

I don't get why the Phins took Tunsil just to move him to OG. Just seems like a waste of a guy pegged as a generational talent.

yeah we will see how that works out in camp.

They are advertising that move now to keep Veterans happy.

Once they see Laremy Tunsil in camp things will get shuffled around.

Very excited about Elston with the Saints.

Also, 49ers drafted Fahn Cooper.
Bengals drafted Cody Core.
