If they can't get Tunsil, I'd like them to focus on defense. While the two teams that sold their futures to move up will probably take QBs (a franchise QB is the reason teams do that most of the time), that still leaves three teams to pick up who was thought to be the top pick. He'd be a steal if he's still there at #6.
I read an article that makes me leery of Bosa's head. Physical skills are there, but it takes more than that to succeed at the professional level.

Ronnie Stanley to fill the hole at OT. Tunsil fell faster than Hans Gruber. Fish finally took him at 13. Question is, who put that picture on his feed?

The Stanley selection could signal that Eugene Monroe's days in Baltimore are numbered. He'd be a rather expensive cut, but a post June 1 release this year would save the Ravens $6.5 million against the salary cap.

Doesn't matter who it was... what matters is that this idiot made the video to begin with.

It does matter. Tunsil had passed all drug screens and was clean going into the draft. This vengeful post cost him millions. I don't believe it was 5 years ago, but it certainly was not 5 weeks ago either. In the case, snitches should get stitches. BTW, anyone know where I can get a gas mask cheap?

In the draft, only two things can suddenly make you drop on everyone's board--injuries and character issues. Concerns about his knee are what made Myles Jack go from a potential top 10 pick to still waiting for the call on day two. In Tunsil's case, maybe it was just a matter of temporary stupidity, but again, teams don't want to risk a high pick on a guy who may have substance abuse issues.
High draft picks are typically the ones teams hope to have for seven, eight or nine years. Chronic injuries and drug problems can drastically shorten careers. These are the guys typically taken by teams who are drafting lower and hope they landed a stud who fell through the cracks, or by teams with numerous picks who can better afford to whiff on a selection.

It's difficult for me to believe that a single post made on draft day had much impact. Two weeks or more ago, when teams' draft boards were still inchoate, sure. By this point if they didn't know about Tunsil's past they simply weren't paying attention, and if they were spooked by a single post, they lack the... fortitude... to be playing the game at the professional level. IMO.

He's an idiot for allowing himself to videoed getting high (no matter when it was)... he should have kept the mask on!
I am so happy I was a teen when I was and didn't have to deal with cell phones and social media stuff.
LOL... I would imagine gas mask sales are up today!!

The Raiders took an Illinois product named Jihad Ward. Rumor is they plan to select Alfred Qaeda in the next round.

Jacksonville potentially had a draft for the ages when they took Myles Jack with their second round selection to go with Jalen Ramsey in the first. Granted, Jack's balky knee could be problematic, but if he proves to be healthy, the Jags will have landed two potential top five players with their first two selections. Even if his knee keeps him from playing more than four or five years, Jack would be a steal with the 36th overall pick.

Jacksonville has showed recent signs they're turning their franchise around, after years of poor play. The Raiders, likewise. Maybe this will work out well for them.

The Ravens took Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds in the sixth round. Whether he'll be available immediately remains to be seen, however, as there's that small matter of his five-year military commitment. The Department of Defense has no formal policy regarding service academy graduates wishing to pursue professional sports full-time. I imagine that decision rests with the current Secretary of the Navy.

The Department of Defense has no formal policy regarding service academy graduates wishing to pursue professional sports full-time. I imagine that decision rests with the current Secretary of the Navy. They have released them from service in the past. It could be argued that he brought in sufficient revenue with his play (I assume that Navy gets money for TV like the NCAA schools), and therefore would be viewed similarly to a scholarship player elsewhere. I know that those who leave a service academy must repay the government for the value of the education they did receive, and that their military service accomplishes this when they do graduate, but there's not really that kind of financial debt here. It might also be that the Ravens inquired as to the chances of his being released from his obligation before they picked him.
