On pick after pick, Mel Kiper mentions how their supposed athleticism hasn't resulted in consistent production, yet they keep getting drafted anyway. And of course when they're small and/or slow we get the spiel about how that doesn't affect their ability to play in the NFL. It's just an endless rehashing and recycling of the same soundbites and double standards year after year.

Yay Steelers lol, drafting Darnell Washington. Another clown wearing sunglasses indoors, one of many this year, it must be the latest idiotic "thang." All it tells me is that there's a very good chance he'll be a bust.

It really is absurd once you think about it- a guy who’s not a good football player in college is somehow going to become a good football player in the nfl. Nearly every black prospect review says something like “elite athleticism but needs to turn it into production” lmao. But DWF keep consuming without questioning

Are you telling me Demarion Overshowm isn’t one of our guys? White sounding name to me!
Now "Bergstrom", that's clearly one of our guys!

Fun draft prop for future years, which will there be more of: whites in the first round, or unique spellings of "Jalen" across all 7 rounds?

I've been saying the exact same thing for about 15 years now. The idea that poor college players with elite athleticism will somehow make good NFL players is beyond absurd. I remember about 10 years ago when the Dolphins drafted Dion Jordan 3rd overall. Everyone I knew at the time was sure Lane Johnson was going to be the pick but it wasn't to be. I watched Jordan in college and saw that he couldn't play a f*cking lick! How was his game supposed to translate to the NFL? The answer was, it couldn't and it didn't.

Really impressed that the Broncos gave up to picks to move up and grab Riley Moss! Went to a Bronco fan forum to monitor the response…….mixed reviews. They want to name him the ‘crackerjack’……..some saying ‘no way a White guy is playing corner’…..others amazed that he was taken ahead of UGA’s Kelee Ringo. Amusing discussion to say the least…….

So 5 White athletes in the 1st and 8 in the 2nd. Pretty good 2nd so it’s likely the 3rd is going to be coal heavy. The selection of Hooker already leaves a sour taste.
So that went as I expected. Only 5 in round 3, but that includes a place kicker so it’s even worse.

I haven't watched much of the draft, but what I have seen has a been cringe inducing clown show. The change from the modest, professional draft broadcasts of the Tagliabue era is stark, a good metaphor for the rapid descent of this country.

It’s gross but yes it shows the culture change from white to negro. It really is appalling and there can be nothing but contempt for the dwf that embrace it

LMFAO Genius idea!
Haha thanks! It should be a close one this year.

5 whites were taken in the first round: Skoronski, Van Ness, Campbell, Kincaid, Bresee.

So far we have Jalen Carter and Jalin Hyatt. Jaelyn Duncan and Jaylon Jones are very likely to be picked on day 3, but the whites are probably still favored to win. Even if a team reaches for Jaylin Williams near the end, it'll be a tie. I don't see any more on the Drafttek top 600.

I'm the first to say that kickers, punters, and long snappers are real football players too, but there's a time and place to draft them, and the third round ain't it. There are so many better White choices they could have made with that pick.

Rubbish draft for the Patriots so far. Had the chance to draft Drew Sanders and took keion white.....can see the merit of taking Gonzalez he looks pretty good but the other two eurgh. As for marty matu whoever he is typical bill over reach there

Good to see our tight ends all going inside the top three rounds so should all be solid starters and valued by their teams....looking for positives lol.

Yeah poor strategic thinking there. Honestly it seems most of these front office guys are either dumb meatheads or nerdy dorks. Neither possess the high level executive functions to make strategic intelligent decisions, especially under pressure

He knows he can scoop up the better white players on the cheap as UDFA. What a genius!

Riley Moss to Denver
From CBSsports:

83. Broncos: Riley Moss, CB, Iowa​

Grade: A

Adore this player. Hyper-twitchy. Instinctive. Ball skills are awesome. Fast too. Super experienced. Overachiever. Some misses on film. Older prospect.

Was ranked 2,742 out of high school. Van Ness was ranked over 1,000. Without Iowa, these guys go to North Dakota State or Air Force, which isn’t bad, but we probably don’t see them drafted one day 1 or 2.

Currently an all black crew of four on NFL Network. Ah, the diversity! But I'd still watch them over the insufferable Rich Eisen.

ESPN currently with four White men out of five. Just 20% Black, only about double the percentage of Blacks in the U.S. population, clearly anti-Black systemic racism is rearing its ugly head.
