2016 NFL Draft

Finally, at position #250, to the Browns, that have now picked three Whites on defense. Glad he wasn't picked at "Mr Irrelevant" position #253...
 
TE Beau Sandland to the Panthers. Great athletic TE. Never really reached his potential in college, because he chose to go to the god-awful Miami Hurricanes with their black quarterbacks, then had to transfer to an FCS school his final year.
 
Thank god the last player chosen as "Mr Irrelevant" wasn't White, but does the media still consider it "Mr Irrelevant" if the last player chosen is black?

It is. I don't know what the numbers are yet for this year's draft, but it seems like it was better than last year's. I have a feeling that next year's draft will be more like last year's.

Atlanta - 2/6
Baltimore - 1/11
Buffalo - 0/7
Carolina - 1/5
Chicago - 3/9

I predict the teams that draft white players will ascend and the teams that only draft black players will tend to get worse.
 
Nice list Leonardfan. The usual suspects avoiding white players or drafting a just a token.

Still better than last year.

One thing I'll not forget is the guy in the gas mask. Hilarious. Down the road that might be all I recall about this draft.
 
A candidate for the single worst pick in the draft is the Colts selection of Antonio Morrison in the 4th round. Morrison is an undersized inside linebacker with 5.1 speed who can't cover.
 
I guess Justin Zimmer went undrafted. Wonder who'll sign him as an FA.
 
All in all not a bad draft from a white perspective, comparatively speaking. A definite improvement on last year's draft.
 
Despite the billion-dollar business of college football, the NFL draft introduces the world to dozens of players who managed to evade the highlight reels and awards ceremonies their entire careers. In addition to these new batches of formerly anonymous players, the draft always introduces some wild new names into the modern lexicon.

Moving against today's eco-friendly culture, we saw DeForest chosen in the first round. He is joined in the pro ranks by many fellow Dees: De'Vondre, Deiondre', Devontae, and Devante. These exotic handles make the pair of DeAndre's and Demarcus' sound downright vanilla.

We had some near-misses where the names almost spelled something recognizable. Laremy, Xavien, Juston, Jayron, Jerell, Kalan, Kavon, Kevon, Antwione, Elandan, and even Tyreek can all claim partial credit. A'Shawn, Shon, and Leshaun join an already prodigious group of Seans.

With the current societal attention called to the Muslims in our midst, it was no surprise that we welcomed Jihad, Hassan, and Maliek into the NFL. I would like to think Charone draws his name from Dante's infamous boat rower, but that connection is nebulous. Pharoh and Marqui are also slight variations on historical royalty. Kenyan does not pull any punches, as his moniker gets straight to the point.

Finally, we have the true outliers. Philosophers will scratch their chins as they ponder these peregrine cognomen. Kamalei and KeiVarae roll off the tongue like ebony and ebony. Does Temarrick use turmeric supplements? Quoth Le'Raven, nevermore. Rounding out the peculiar are Yannick, Shilique, Tajae, Jakeem, Jatavis, Leonte, Cardale, Vadal, and Fahn. This leaves me with my favorite wacky name of the 2016 NFL Draft, Dadi Lhomme, which as far as I can interpret is a Creole version of "Daddy Man."
 
Sounds like Green Bay has finally figured things out. Belichek still doesn't get it.
At this point it seems like the top 3 teams to root for this season are Green Bay, Denver and New England. Maybe even San Diego. I would include Minnesota, but Sewer water disqualifies them.
