The Big Ten has won lately in CFB but the SEC continues to dominate the NFL draft. Crazy how many first rounders that conference produces
 
I know it had been a bit of a given he would be the first pick, but still makes a great story with Cam Ward going from a 0* FCS QB to the #1 pick. Hope he does well.

Yes, but at the end of the day it was pretty close, the SEC with 15 picks (via 9 schools) and the Big Ten had 11 picks (via only 4 schools). OSU led the way with 4, Michigan, Texas and Georgia had 3 each. Oregon, Penn State, Alabama and Ole Miss had 2 each.

26 of the 32 picks from those 2 conferences. Wow.

Cannot believe Will Johnson didn’t get selected. That would have made the count closer. Supposed knee problem

None of the QBs jump off the board to me. Can Ward was good but the ACC was garbage. I’m not a scout so whatever.

Titans fan here, until we hit a gusher with a QB I'll remain skeptical. Seems like a really good kid, grounded and home grown. I just hope his skill set can be NFL level. To me with the overall #1, I'd want more of a sure thing.

The big ten is still incredibly top heavy and that's never changing. Ohio State is the king, Michigan has had recent success and Penn State is always waiting in the wings. Outside of that just a few NFL caliber players dot rosters. In the SEC, every team in that league has multiple NFL caliber players on both sides of the ball, especially in the trenches. This discussion comes up every year. People bag on the ACC, the big ten isn't far ahead of them.

lol. The Big 10 had 11 first round picks from 4 schools last night. All four schools had at least 2 drafted. The ACC had 1 total. Why do you refuse to live in reality?

How pathetic has Mel Kiper become?

Boosting Sanders every time the camera was on him, and Shadeur riding Mel's "Best Player Available" graphic most of the first round?

Not only Kiper but many of these talking heads. They seem to have no understanding of reading the room. Sanders skill sets are very good, but he's not a guy that's a lock down franchise QB. When you are being drafted by a team, the organization has to take EVERYTHING into consideration. That includes how you carry yourself, attitude, ability to work with others, etc.

Let's take a close look at Sanders, he's had one coach in his life. His dad. Deion was his high schools offensive coordinator. Then Deion got the Jackson State job, and Shedeur backed off the FSU commit and went to Jackson State??? This is ACC, D1, historical program Florida State for a HBCU "meh" program. Heck Deion himself should have told him he's not following him to Jackson State. Then Deion gets the Colorado job and boom, Shedeur has yet another job. So probably the #1 question, is can Shedeur be coached? Weeks ago you come out and say there are teams that if you get drafted to you're not going there? Really? Probably like to walk that back.

Whoever picks him will be coaching him in one ear while Deion coaches him in the other.

It’s a train wreck waiting to happen.

You obviously know I am a Michigan fan. And you are going to 100% disagree with me in this. And that is ok, because this is opinion based. I watched probably every Will Johnson Michigan game. I've seen him get roasted many games and times. And big play/TD roasted. IMHO, he is the most over rated Michigan Wolverine of all time. I know he some big plays in some big games. But I just never saw "stud" out of him.

Which makes the Browns potential drafting of Sanders all that more likely.

The kid does have some talent/skill but he is not physically imposing, average speed/mobility, his arm strength is average and there has been some who question his attitude. Sanders seems to be a cross between Manzel & Baker.

Not gonna disagree, you would know more than me about him. I did hear that he's better in zone vs man which is a big NO NO if you want to be picked in the first round. His speed and height/length seem so elite though
 
Ravens release Justin Tucker:

In addition to his poor season as a place kicker, Tucker is also facing sexual harassment allegations from multiple massage therapists during his time with the Ravens. An investigation by The Baltimore Banner that was released in January revealed accounts from six different massage therapists who described "troubling" experiences with Tucker as a client from 2012 to '16.
