Actually makes a lot of sense.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

Go back to leather helmets, NFL.

I think what's morphed into the greatest subplot of the draft for me is where Josh Allen goes. I think that the hype he's getting is strongly media fueled, and he's just not going to go as high as most are saying.

I love this recent PFF mock with Josh going to the broncos in the second round:

I 100% believe Baker Mayfield is going before Josh Allen, and the fact that every team is checking Josh out is just due diligence for his eventual plummet (which wont be an actual plummet since he's not going that high anyway!).

I think the Giants or the Dolphins are about the best places Allen could hope for. He’s definitely not ready to play.

I only saw Allen play once last year, against Iowa. I was very underwhelmed. The team around him was obviously overmatched too, but if you didn’t tell me he was supposed to be a high draft pick I’d never have know it.

This is the "Bradley Chubb was caught drunk driving with a dead hooker in the trunk of his car the night before the draft" mock.

If Chubb is on the board and the Bears pass on him... :frustrated:

I don't get the Hurst hype. At all. Any game I watch with him playing I end up watching some other player instead. He obviously has great physical traits but his production too often depends on his teammates' disrupting or driving the ball carrier toward him. Can anyone recommend a game against good competition where he looks like a #4 pick?

EDIT: also second the criticism of Allen and love for Chubb.

I firmly believe Mayfield should be the 1st pick. But what do I know.
