Great post Don! Add Robert Woods to the list of average at best USC WRs too.
Wow! I thought you were joking until I checked BSPN.com. Fantastic news.For me the silver lining in this draft is Dougtaviois getting the ax in Buffalo. They have a long way to go to clean up the black mess in Buffalo but took a few positive steps yesterday.

The irony is that the Bills had one of the better, if not (arguably) the best, White-friendly picks in the draft this year, so I wonder who was making the picks this year, Dougtavious or someone else?
If they pretty much had it planned for months that they were going to let him go (from what I read in the article on BSPN), would they then allow him to make the picks in this draft and then fire him the next day?
The NFL Combine, Draft and League is about as anti white as an organization can be. I would have to say that
even the NBA has gotten a little better over the last decade while the NFL gets worse by the year & decade.
The Caste System is not going to end without a tremendous fight. They want sports to reflect society. So sad.
That makes sense. I was wondering what was going on when the Bills selected two White LBs and a White QB since it was so out-of-character for Dougtavious to do that. I wonder if letting Chris Hogan go and then him shining at NE (and smoking the Bills when he played them there) had anything to do with it. That right there is proof of his inability to gauge and evaluate talent. I suspect that and the black quarterback situation were the last straws.I saw a squib yesterday, think it was on Weenieworld, that said Dougtavious was already out of the loop and McDermott was making the calls, so his firing was a (very long overdue) formality.
How many were drafted, 253? If that was the number then the White percentage is 17.4%.
Chad Kelly was Mr. Irrelevant this year, going to the Broncos on pick 253.
I like the whole Mr. Irrelevant thing. It brings more interest to the draft.
I'm always glad to see a white man get picked as Mr. Irrelevant. They get all kinds of benefits and get to participate in week long festivities including a parade.
I am going to go on the record and say that I think C.J Beathard is going to have an Andy Dalton like rise during the draft. He looks great so far, his arm strength has improved and he has great mobility playing in a pro style system.
The Bears are getting all sorts of grief for trading up one to get Trubisky. The media is already ramping up the anti-Trubisky sentiment. Hopefully the Bears are smart in how they bring him along and develop him. I actually give the Bears some credit here since they are trying to move on from the Cutler era and have done their best to really solidify the position for the near and distant future.

Stellar "analysis" on the Shaheen pick. Looks like Frankenstein? Of course it would be racist to make any negative comments about a black athlete's appearance. Shaheen is the type of hidden gem physical athletic specimen that would have Weenieworld drooling if he were black.
Shaheen while not classically handsome is no uglier than the average player. Maybe his build could be called that but even that is a stretch. If Shaheen was classified as a minority(he has distant Arab ancestry) this story would be a non starter. Ps if Shaheen is Frankenstein what is Terrell Suggs?Here's Weenieworld's "grade" of the Bears' draft. Their dig at Shaheen's looks is despicable. It reads like one of CF's grades for the league's coal black teams:
Overview: The Bears’ extremely ill-advised, desperation-driven one-spot climb for Trubisky cost them pick Nos. 67, 111, and a 2018 third-rounder. At UNC, Trubisky spent two years backing up Marquise Williams, who couldn’t beat out “Joe Callahan” as a Packers camp arm last year. In round two, Chicago dropped from No. 36 to 45 to add Nos. 119, 197, and a 2018 fourth-rounder. They wasted No. 45 on D-2 Frankenstein lookalike Shaheen. Ballhawking safety Jackson was my favorite Bears pick, although Jackson enters the NFL with significant injury concerns, and moving up for him cost Chicago the No. 197 pick in exchange for just a five-spot climb. Fellow fourth-rounder Cohen is a fun guy to watch, but he has almost no chance to make an NFL offensive impact at 5-foot-7, 179. Remember Garrett Wolfe? 60% of the Bears’ draft came from sub-Division-1 schools. Ultimately, the class will pay off if Trubisky turns into a franchise quarterback. Yet there is absolutely no way 13 college starts provide enough evidence to suggest Trubisky is a good-probability bet. It’s more likely that this was the worst draft in the entire league.
Grade: F

Has anyone signed Lee Musso? He has decent athleticism and would be able to compete for a free safety spot.
Riley McCarron to Texans
Riley McCarron definitely has the athleticism to play in the NFL. He ranked in the 93rd percentile in the SPRARQ score.
He excelled as a kickoff returner and punt returner in college. Maybe this will help him stick in the pros.
