Top 10 Draft "OMG" Moments! 

He died? Wow

Mel Kiper: Decent hairdew, and simultaneously about as accurate at analysis as you’d expect from someone who never was a GM or anything like that (often bad). As for that scenario, while Trev Alberts didn’t pan out (largely due to injury), and Trent Dilfer had a better career than Alberts, Kiper did underestimate how Harbaugh fit Indy.

@fortynights1513 Harbaugh and the Colts almost got to the Super Bowl a couple seasons after this too! Came down to a hail mary that was almost caught. Would've been Colts and Cowboys for Super Bowl 30.

When he died last week I was remembering was he the Who's Mel Kiper guy?🤔

mEl suks bals

Your comment wins 🏆 😂

Good one. That's sarcasm. I'm a Washington Commies fan, and part of me was hoping at one time that you would keep Justin Fields, so that we could have a shot at drafting a hometown guy in Caleb Williams. I probably thought that he would have better chance with of succeeding with us than with you. But that's out of the question. I genuinely want Caleb Williams to beat the Green Bay Packers to give your fanbase some pain relief.

Yeah and it’s crazy how many Bears QBs have had 4000 yard and 30+ TD seasons. That franchise has devolved so many good QBs it’s crazy tbh.

As a Packer fan, thank you.

It's finally happened, the bears fans got it so bad they had a mental break lol

They ended up drafting him anyway!

Joe Thomas best player in Browns history? Jim Brown sure but he played 40 years before I was born

Brown Drafted Brady Quinn that draft lol

The Browns ended up taking him with the 22nd pick.

@@EthanCole2009Yeah if the Browns take a qb at 22, he’s gonna bust. See Quinn, Weeden, and Manziel.

He loved to reach as GM for us. Clelin Ferrell 4 overall who was projected to go around 15 or lower. Henry Ruggs III 12 overall who was really really good but Michael Pittman fell to 34 overall the same draft. Damon Arnette 19 overall not in the nfl tons of character red flags Alex Leatherwood 17 overall not in the nfl and many did not think he was a first round pick It is one thing to risk it on these players but all of them but Ruggs he could have traded down at least 10 spots and still got them. Mayock did draft Maxx Crosby and Hunter Renfrow who both were steals. Ruggs was a great pick if not for him being a fool.

​@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiantsHe didn't have much control over those picks it was mostly Gruden

@@ickisdog1592 No Gruden let him pick them.

Yea, it's pretty stupid to turn that down. The browns always thirsting over qbs as if their teams were built to win. And all they needed was that 1st rounder to save them. And when it FINALLY happened. They trade him. Almost immediately

@@NoFace-ke9pcbaker?

I can’t believe they turned that down, but I guess look at the team

Tim couch was quite a prospect coming out though . Always easy in , hindsight

@@y.w.6243yes dude got them a playoff win after how long was the drought idek as a bears fan this draft been amazing but if Caleb finally gets us a playoff dub I highly doubt we trading him but it’s the bears so I def can be wrong unfortunately 😂

Never 🦅🦅🦅🦅

His high pitch voice resembles that beta male city 😂

Sorry Drew Pearson’s >>>> David Akers. After all, the Eagles did help his career lol

I'm a Cowboys fan and I crack up every time

@jroc ironic considering the old line about Dallas is all that's there are steers and queers

Randle was there, Ball would come two years after in '97. But you're right, as far as defense goes it's a line of dreams. But they were too invested on the offense back then I guess. After all, they had Randy Moss and Cris Carter.

It was all that drug accusations. Few days before the draft in 95, there were reports of 5 cocaine tests and pot tests. Simply put. I don't know if it was someone trying to drive him down or legit. But he stayed clean as a player.

They still wouldn't have won lol

@@Eggy79 really, because John Randle having his leg busted up early against Atlanta was the downfall of our pass rush. You are saying adding another hof rusher would have no impact in a 3 point game?

Didn’t they draft Champ Bailey with one of their picks? They also drafted LaVar Arrington and Chris Samuels at 2 and 3 respectively in the draft the following year. So that’s something?

@@gatienlaurol5793 yeah but they undid it by trading him just a few years later. Arrington and Samuels were decent but nowhere near elite. But since the trade the Saints have won a Super Bowl and Washington has only won 2 playoff games. Neither side really won this trade but in the 25 years since the Saints have clearly been the better team.

The Bengals were also offered those draft picks but they chose Akili Smith instead ….yeah

As a Saints fan I'll go with the Ricky trade.

The skins 100% at least N.O got ticket sales and merch sales

Pat is funny in small doses. He’s like ghost pepper hot sauce though. It gets to be too much real fast.

@@zlinedavid I've got nothing against him really, he's just not the type I like a lot. It's purely down to personal taste.

@@bioLarzen he is nuts, but is one of the cases I really like. Refused the biggest contract ever for a punter and decided to try for even more and got it. But David Akers was better than he was in terms of draft trash talking. The Titans fanbase was cold

​@@zlinedavid perfect description.. he's got some good moments on his podcast, good stand up but when I watch him too long I start to want to choke him lol

​@@zlinedavid he is INSUFFERABLE on wrestling. I'm not sure if you are a wrestling fan too but I can't watch raw anymore because of him

Especially his girlfriend didn’t care about him

Even funnier knowing he wasn't that good of an NFL QB but he thought he should've been the #1 pick 😂

@@C-S. "wasn't that good" is a drastic understatement haha he was trash

@@C-S. And yet JaMarcus Russell was taken #1 overall and he out of the league by 09. In fact I don't think a single QB in this draft played a full season. Trent Edwards was probably the best in the draft class and he had 1 mediocre season. Other than Drew Stanton they were all out of the league in 5 years.

man, imagine LT with no "sugar"

What’s also surprising was that Washington blew an opportunity to build a dynasty with all those picks.

because Ricky was damn good

@@csnide6702 not that good 😂 dude only made 1 pro bowl his entire career and 1 all pro

@@drunkenmmamaster419 oh... I didn't say you got him for a full season.... he had his issues ... but when he was motivated - he was stellar !

😂 he has border line hof state line sorry he didn't win a couple more popularity contest

And the year prior, they screwed up something in the pick submission process too, and in the process failed to draft Ryan Sims; they got Bryant McKinnie instead, and he turned out way better in the long haul Basically, you can just draft whoever 😅

​@@codybaird8811 Just goes to show, for all the analytics and pageantry, the draft is still mostly a crapshoot.

@@hiimemilyIMO, I think the NFL draft is nothing more than an educated lottery. There are some picks that are “obvious” generational talents, but outside of a few players, really anything that can happen. There are so many guys who are phenomenal in college that just don’t translate to the NFL and you have guys who had somewhat decent college careers end up becoming HOF. I mean shoot, Tom Brady and Brock Purdy are shining examples of you can find quality ANYWHERE on the draft board.

When JAX took Leftwich that wasn't really a blow to the Vikings, they still had Culpepper in his prime. There was no concern there.

They did it on purpose, they got the guy they wanted, for less money. The next 5 teams had no interest in him.

It was and you needed a qb at the time. He balled out at Syracuse

The only thing he did consistently was choke in the biggest moments. When he had the ball last and needed a score to win the game, turn the TV off it wasn't happening.

@@jeffreyval9665 Well, he was the only QB who developed between Tim Couch and Akili Smith.

@logantgood478 Yeah, but that isn't saying much. McNabb was the weak link on those great Jimmy Johnson led defensive teams. Those NFC championship ending picks against the Rams and Bucs were complete chokejobs, and the SB was just too big of a stage for him to handle.

​@@jeffreyval9665mCNabb was a good backup caliber QB. He couldn't hang in the league without Andy Reids scheme. He wasn't good.

Well Bill Tobin wasn't a whole hell of a lot better he was an Fucking loser

a legend for that and he took many good players for the Colts as well. I'm still waiting for Kiper to retire after the Jimmy Clausen debacle, he sure swiveled the opinion towards him being any good

The irony of Kiper pushing Dilfer was the 2 best QBs from that draft class both were the undrafted Kurt Warner and Jeff Garcia.

His son has been one of the head honchos in Cincy for years too like a lot of people don’t realize how much the Tobin family overall impact the NFL.

100% agree, I remember the pick spoiling became a thing on Twitter like 4-5 years ago, and top NFL reporters would basically flex their insider knowledge by getting all the picks right. I remember Jay Glazer saying he “didn’t care about the NFL’s TV show”, and acted like he was going to continue spoiling picks, but the NFL found a way to stop that nonsense pretty quickly and tell those guys to knock it off.

I mean look at the hall of fame alumni

At least he was really good

saints drafted a punter at 11 in '79 and the guy immediately got hurt

The Jets drafted a kicker in the first round in the last 20 years or so. I think his name was Mike Nugent or something like that.

At least it paid off. As a Bucs fan, Roberto never can close to being worth a 2nd rounder

With the way the Bengals drafted back then, they’d have blown them all anyway 😂 Thankfully, they’ve improved recently #whodey

@@zlinedavid yes, the upgrade of the Bengals is remarkable. But get an OL please, I don't want to see Burrow out for a year again

@@otaviofrn_adv The OL was disappointing but they didn’t have anything to do with either of Burrow’s injuries directly. The calf strain happened the 2nd day of camp, and the torn wrist ligament started as a partial tear just from repeated throwing, but completely ruptured when he hit his wrist on a defender’s helmet on a follow through. The Trent Brown pickup should help things a lot. That gives us an anchor on either end of the line.

that fan is an idiot. coaches can be traded (Jon Gruden was). and they don't make picks, GM's do.

Cold lmao

If I was Cleveland, I’dve traded the top pick for everything Washington did and maybe one more pick. Ricky Williams could’ve been the last first overall running back if so.

Atlanta fans gonna be happy they did when he becomes top 2 qbs in this draft

Green Bay using a first round pick to draft a QB when they had Brett Favre turned out alright in the long run. This is actually what teams should do. Have a solid starter and bring along a rookie QB slowly. If the rookie is a bust, you still have Cousins. If he's good, trade Cousins for some picks (3rd round, maybe).

Yeah relative projects who would benefit from sitting (especially Love) replacing HOF QBs whom they didn't just pay 100mil guaranteed to come play for them in free agency lol. The situations are not the same. Penix could be a beast and I'm willing to bet he will be a good NFL QB no Falcons fan has an issue with that. The issue arises when we pay Cousins all that money to come play for us when we could've used it elsewhere creating a better team around Penix. Penix will be 24 when training camp starts. Bro was picking his college while Obama was still President 😂😂 he's been playing college football for 6 years. He doesn't need anymore seasoning. He's not a project he's ready to play now. ​@@Paulafan5

@@Paulafan5 Yeah, but they picked at #24. And they picked Love at #26. They were already good enough at the time that they could make a pick like that. The Falcons weren't that good of a team last year, they needed more.

Even if bears drafted Mahomes he probably wouldn't be the same Mahomes of today, bears never develop any QB ever. Coaching matters and Andy Reid Is a HOF coach he knows how to develop his players

Any team can say this lmao, imagine if the 49ers didn’t draft Solomon Thomas.

​@@JDBass36that pick was always supposed to be Deshaun Watson. And they didn't even needed to trade up in the first place which is hilarious

I Agree With You

If I was the bears owner I would turn that into a dome as it would at least give the team a homefield advantage.

Lol cant lie mario williams in his prime was a MONSTER 5 double digit sack seasons he just played on houston and success never really followed but mario williams was ridiculous

@@donizzo30Ridiculous is a bit of an overstatement. He was very solid, but not ridiculous. He isn’t in the same conversation as the true elite linemen

yes, the choice paid itself for the Texans. Might not be all we expect of a #2, but still

Saying Mario was not great esp in his prime is insulting.

Bro was a 5 time all pro player. He was definitely great.

The funny thing was that the show Coach had the same thing happen (to a pro-football team from Minnesota). I'm pretty sure that episode aired before that actual incident.

The fact that they let that happen is pure incompetence on the part of the coaching staff. I wonder who got fired because of that

That was the moment Ditka should have been considered senile and removed from power.

@@zlinedavid tell me bout it bro, idk how he wasn’t fired on the spot after that 🤦🏾‍♂️ looking back on it, it’s actually hilarious seeing someone make a dumbfounded decision like that. It just hurts as a fan 🤣

A grande mania do Al Davis de draftar o mais impressionante fisicamente, mas que não tem a habilidade necessária

@@dr4wksz cara, o mais surpreendente foi todo mundo colocar o JaMarcus como #1 geral, e ele já tinha dado mostras durante o ano anterior que ele levava o time pra fora dos buracos que ele mesmo colocava. Ele tinha força e tamanho, mas não tinha precisão. Média dele em LSU foi 61,9% de passes completos, tendo 67,8 no seu melhor ano. Uma pena a gente não ter o next gen stats nessa época pra uma análise ainda mais detalhada. Além disso o Matt Millen, gerente geral de Detroit na época (péssimo como GM, mas foi um grande jogador dos Raiders e muito querido por várias torcidas na liga, além de amigo do Al Davis), disse que teve que encerrar a entrevista com o Russell mais cedo por ele estar extremamente distraído, sinais de que ele se comportava com estrelismo. A prova final veio quando ele deu holdout (na época o acordo coletivo não previa contratos de novato, cada um negociava o seu) até a semana 1 da temporada, quando o Raiders deu um contrato de 6 anos, 68 milhões, com 31,5 garantido. Al sempre foi ruim? Não. Pelo contrário, foi um excelente GM e dono por muitos anos. Tanto que em um ponto da história o Raiders chegou a ter o maior aproveitamento de vitórias entre todas as grandes ligas dos EUA. Mas depois do all in que ele deu entre 2000-02 o Raiders nunca se recuperou. Bem, ele queria grana rápido por alguma razão. Talvez tenha lido O Método TB12 (ele cita que o tempo médio de carreira na NFL é de 3,3 anos). O Raiders deu o que ele queria, e um idoso senil foi "enganado".

The year the Raiders drafted Mack in round 1 and Carr in round 2 was pretty good for raiders standards but sure lots of complete misses.

It's hilarious to look at his draft predictions and opinions years later. ESPN keeps paying him because he can remember every player's name.

I thought the same thing, but once I studied it, he's about the best one of them.

So did Sanchez, dilfer, Grossman

He wasn't a good QB, but he did win a playoff game. And it was a late first round pick. If they traded up to 10 and picked him, that's different.

@@Paulafan5 the only success Tebow had was "he won 1 playoff game". Since when is winning a single playoff game considered being a successful NFL QB. Tebow was a waste of a first round pick.

@@C-S. to be fair he was better than jimmy clausen lol the guy they thought denver shoulda picked but seems like a bad qb class overall that year

Fr he was 1st all pro for a few years in mn

Clear top choice... NFL official accounts aren't touching that one though haha

actually the worst for everyone other than chiefs fans

Look up the stats of Rivers and Joe Burrow in the 2020 Colts/Bengals game. It's safe to say Burrow has surpassed Rivers in one on the field stat.

One of the worst picks ever

Time will tell. ​@@user-bz5zn2pf7e

Bo Nix is on line one.

​@cityhawk I think Nix will be a more accurate passer than Penix because he's in a Payton offense and is a natural for the position. Penix better have good legs.

Damn that’s wild lmao but true

I noticed that too. Why do fans waste their time on all these pre-Draft shows when the "experts" don't know most of the time.

@@Paulafan5 I've never really understood it, listened to any of them or taken them seriously either. I'd love to see all their records on predicting draft picks, especially Kiper's. I mean if the organizations are getting them wrong more often than not, how are sports journalist who may or may not have played and former players turned analysts going to get anything remotely accurate? 😂

What's so ironic about this statement is, that Todd McShay campaign the whole time for JaMarcus Russell. How did syrup sipping Russell do?

Prior to the rookie salary cap & every slot having a salary tied to it, that happened more often than you’d think. If I recall correctly, Tim Couch, David Carr & Matthew Stafford all signed before they were announced as the first pick

@@mavhimself I'm pretty sure what ended it was the Rams signing Sam Bradford to an insane contract before the draft and it ended up crippling the franchise for years. It was bad for the league to have a team completely ruin their future like that.

I remember they gave him a blank DVD of film they wanted him to study just to prove to those who didn't understand in the Raiders brain trust how badly he didn't want to work for it.

@@Gungho73 In some ways in makes sense he never needed to work again with proper investment of that contract. Sad for the raiders though. Quinn at least never was lazy like that even if he had way less talent.

@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Quinn is a weird one to me how we just saw nothing come out of that. His career was gone in a flash. He didn't seem terrible he just melded in like a tree in the woods

@@Gungho73 Some QBs like Quinn teams are better off trading down to the 2nd round and hope he falls to you over taking him high and wasting a first. At least the Browns took him way later in round 1.

@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants I remember feeling like the weird guy when I watched Malik Willis film and prayed he would fall to the 3rd or 4th round. Because the idea being thrown around he was a 1st rounder was baffling to me, he needed too much work and had he been I cant see that having worked out even remotely. I think that's why i see a lot of people kinda hoping Penix this year falls to the 2nd, is that exact scenario you're describing. Remove some of that pressure.

We could have had a Barry Sanders/ Randy Moss combo in the late 90s, but the f’ing Lions took Terry Fair at 20. Biggest blunder in a long line of blunders for the Lions.

la’el collins was crazy too. he was a projected first rounder who went undrafted because of some of the craziest-timed allegations

@@UserName-ts3sp Absolutely. I just remember the draft tableround chat they always have just going from what was clearly through the motions of mostly known/confirmed draft picks to WAIT A SECOND on Tunsil. Like they do a good job of filler audio for the draft process but its rare to just see the dialogue get swapped like that. We get things like Marino for example or Sapp or Randy Moss, but not minutes into the draft. It just felt..bizzare seeing that bong video.

Yeah, take Nabers please. I want to see Herbert with a competent Coach finally.

As a saints fan I just chalk it up to Ditka saying “Fuck it, I’m in New Orleans, I got my ring AND I’m close to retirement. Why not throw the whole draft away for shits & giggles”

@@julius.shambles7That was Ditka after one too many hurricanes on Bourbon Street one night

@@zlinedavid man, if TV's weren't expensive, I would've likely thrown mine away after that trade and the fact that Ditka had the nerve to show up on ESP f'n N dressed in a hawaiian shirt and smoking cigars

As a fellow chargers fan, i dont think we actually need a receiver. I think we need to draft a strong running back to try and take some of the pressure off of herbert and the wide receivers. I think blake corum is our best bet at number 5 overall. Wide receiver can wait until later in the draft

I wanna see it, but I don't know...

Then the Colts weren't seen again until after Tobin was fired and the Colts Picked Peyton. Seems Mel was right

The irony of Kiper pushing Dilfer was the 2 best QBs from that draft class both were the undrafted Kurt Warner and Jeff Garcia.

when...? He's a doofus.......

@@csnide6702 ... The LB that Indianapolis drafted (which sparked this beef between Tobin and Kiper) ended up being a bust.

@@emantabrizi8218 even a blind squirrel trips over an acorn from time to time.

If Alex Smith didn't get his shoulder destroyed, the conversation would be a lot closer. Smith still came back and had a nice career (his record in KC was pretty good, until they switched over to Mahomes). Also, Rodgers wasn't as polished as Smith. It took him 4 years to really hit his stride (and then blew past Smith).

I still remember clearly where I was at that time. I was in a sportsbook with my dad in Vegas watching the craziness go down! lol
