2020 NFL Off-Season Thread

Everything that is different about this draft may be worth it for the fishing animation.

Seeing the players in their homes with just their immediate family is so jarring when you're use to seeing draft night parties. It's like this year's crop of players don't have any friends.

You won the National Championship, the Heisman Trophy, and you're going to be the #1 pick, Joe! You're a loser with a nerdy haircut!

[The Buscher]

How can we have draft analysis without Mike Mayock describing everyone as a good football player?

[Lineker]

STOP TOUCHING YOUR FACE DUKE TOBIN! IT'S LIKE YOU WANT CORONAVIRUS!

[VerbalPuke]

How do we fuck this up. 

[The Buscher]

I remember years where the first pick of the draft literally signed their contract before the draft and yet they still used the entire interval before the pick got announced.

Do Americans actually like this bullshit? A load of insincere "Patriotic" nonsense, the national anthem and a commercial break. We're now 15 minutes into the show and there has been literally 0 content.

A small, loud minority but if the NFL doesn't go 100% in on it they'll notice and lose their minds. Heck, even when the NFL does go 100% on it they whine that it's not enough.

I hate this first pick shit. You've had it for four months. Make the god damn selection so we can move on. This isn't Mario Williams vs. Reggie Bush. My mother could've made this pick back in January.

It looked like his parents were patting him on the back to console him. I know I would be.

 

Pre-show: "You'll see the emotional reaction of the players when they're picked!2

Reality: Player typing on his phone and not acknowledging the camera.

Burrow to Cincinnati. Shocker.

[Meacon Keaton]

If this were in person, Ron Rivera would be running up to the podium himself and blurt out CHASE YOUNG as fast as he can. 

[Lineker]

I wish this was an NFL Network-produced production - they're just much sleeker than ESPN.

[TCO]

Is this the first time the reigning Heisman Trophy Winner/#1 Pick is older than the reigning NFL MVP?

[The Buscher]

ESPN draft coverage sucks so bad.  I mean I can't fault anyone this year....simulcast was the only choice given the tech set-up challenges.  But still.

Name Analysis #1: Joe Burrow basically feels like it's the name of a one-off Justified character, like a guy who went to school with Raylan Givens but has fallen on hard times and turned to crime to make ends meet, and it doesn't end well for him. It's not good enough of a name to be a character with a full-arc, unfortunately, Joe Burrow's no Wynn Duffy or Raymond Quarles, you know?

I'm guessing you don't get the ABC coverage, do you? ESPN is awful. You couldn't pay me to watch ESPN's coverage.

[GoGo Yubari]

Just switched from ESPN to ABC and holy fuck, that's a night-and-day comparison.

Brilliant.
