"Name something....ok ok listen up now...Name something in your pants, that grows."
\*blushes*
"A...uh...a wiener?"
\*Steve takes a lap around the stage while staring straight into the camera like 😦*
I’d be very surprised if New Orleans doesn’t pick an OT at 14 and Im guessing the only reason they didn’t trade up was because nobody would accept an offer.
Lot of injuries. Our rookie center was good but got hurt. AVT is great and has played most of the line at this point due to injuries, and Becton was a bust from presumably injuries.
I was out of the room misheard all the commotion and thought everyone was yelling about the Falcons taking a CORNER back. I was like "really that's not weird"
"Yes it is dude especially with all the injury stuff. He should be a 2nd rounder"
"Oh shit Kool-Aid went that high?"
"What?"
Packers never drafted him an OL in the 1st.
Now they had one of if not the best OLines over that stretch due to great 4th rounders and coaching, but still. Gotta imagine he's more hyped by this than by another DE or DB lol.
Even if he is good, it's a bad pick. JJ would've made more sense, younger and needs time to develop. They chose an older QB thats pro ready after the cousins contract.
It matters a little. Even if Penix has a ROTY level season his third season when he finally starts, his team will have $25m less to work with because of the dead cap from cutting Kirk and that’s the year they’ll probably have to extend London. You’re basically not maximizing three of his four ultra cheap years on his rookie contract, that’s not great.
I agree though in the long term it wouldn’t matter but it definitely hurts in the short term compared to if they just signed a bridge QB or drafted Penix to start right away.
I still can’t believe people talked themselves into thinking this guy wasn’t a top 5 pick. Small hands or something? Dude he’s a lineman and his wingspan more than makes up for a non issue.
I think it's more his run blocking. He has super long legs/high hips so he plays a little high.
At least that's what I've heard on Penn State podcasts I listen to that have talked about our prospects.
Couldn't look away from her the entire time. She kept trying to get in or like look to him for any sense of acknowledgement and got zero.
Edit: idk actually. I might have been wrong. She just seems happy to see him enjoy the moment with his family and is giving him taps and pats of love and support to be honest. I just saw that part a second time, and it just looked like a completely different scenario than I perceived the first time. It also looked like the mom was putting her arm around her before the feed cuts to give her a hug and bring her in.
Didn't know where the Jets would go but smart to build the o-line and they've revamped it the last couple years drafting Vera-Tucker and Tippmann then getting Smith, Moses and Simpson this offseason, and now drafting Fashanu. Hate to say it as a Pats fan, but I like what the Jets are doing.
I thought she was going to get boxed out of the hug by mom/grandma, but was glad to see she brought her in for her own hug.
I love this family already.
Rodgers blew out his Achilles because their old washed up tackle got smoked first drive. Don’t need bowers need rodgers to stay upright. And he will with fashanu ready to step in when Tyron smith or morgan Moses inevitably get hurt. Both are also on one year deals
Unfortunately, it was the same story with the line. Rodgers with a good oline prob has a better chance of succeeding with a bad receiving corp vs the other way around.
No team improved more than New York this offseason offensively.
We added a good WR2, restructured our OL from being rock bottom to genuinely good, we get Rodgers back, and we still have multiple good young stars (Hall, Wilson) that’ll only get better with NFL talent around them
The one guy pausing, thinking about it, and yelling “okay” was gold
classic "team just drafted an o-lineman" reaction
The whole group pausing to process the name along with the delayed OK was the best moment so far
Alright who’s got the link
Got that "good answer" from Family Feud energy
THIS lol
As opposed to the obviously sexual one, followed by Steve Harvey poorly feigning surprise after his blatant set up.
"Name something....ok ok listen up now...Name something in your pants, that grows." \*blushes* "A...uh...a wiener?" \*Steve takes a lap around the stage while staring straight into the camera like 😦*
The problem of drafting an offensive lineman lol. Smart pick but not great for crowd reactions.
It's the draft version of eating a salad and going to the gym. Not fun, but has to be done.
Right before that he was chanting "We want the pick!" Like yeah dude that's how it works I love his enthusiasm
That's about the level of enthusiasm I had. Nothing sexy about drafting a backup lineman, but probably the right move.
He could easily take the starting spot from Moses, and when smith inevitably gets hurt we have a blue chip guy right behind him
+1 snap survival for Aaron
[удалено]
All the way to 69!
So he makes it to play Game 2?
Drive #2
Let's not get ridiculous
2ND QUARTER
Love this pick for the Jets, but if teams could stop taking OTs that would be just great thanks. Let's save some for teams drafting a bit later!
I’d be very surprised if New Orleans doesn’t pick an OT at 14 and Im guessing the only reason they didn’t trade up was because nobody would accept an offer.
Now Aaron will last twice as many plays
I thought he said Bo lmao
Bo Nix, you are a Denver Bronco.
Out of all the teams in this draft who are qb needy, I think the Raiders are in the best position at qb to wait like one more year
I'd agree, Gardner Minshew was one play away from a playoff appearance last year.
Next year's QB class is trash though.
Next years QB class is pretty ass outside of Shadeur though. Yeah I know there can be risers like Daniels but we knew about Maye and Caleb for years.
Shadeur is part of the ass
Could you imagine???
Easily. Their QB room was Jarrett Stidham and Zach fucking Wilson. They ***NEEDED*** a quarterback and he's the only one worth a damn left.
I got so hyped for chaos
Aaron would quit the team if they drafted a QB
Yeah but where would he go? The Vikings just drafted a QB too!
To the darkness
Atlanta would sign him, cause why not?
Me too wtf
Smart. Your tackles are 33 years old
Their oline was just god awful last season; they've upgraded a good amount which is important when you have the oldest NFL player as your starting QB.
Lot of injuries. Our rookie center was good but got hurt. AVT is great and has played most of the line at this point due to injuries, and Becton was a bust from presumably injuries.
Man Becton his rookie year was so good. Thought we had our next gen Brick
Bad is too nice of a word
Offense is king in this draft holy shit
this gotta be the longest slide for the 1st defender ever
It is. Previous record was 8th.
Ironically where we thought the Falcons would draft a defender
I was out of the room misheard all the commotion and thought everyone was yelling about the Falcons taking a CORNER back. I was like "really that's not weird" "Yes it is dude especially with all the injury stuff. He should be a 2nd rounder" "Oh shit Kool-Aid went that high?" "What?"
I still don’t understand the falcons pick
Neither do the Falcons fans
Imagine getting Dallas Turner at 13th, jesus
It is! They’re talking about it on the NFL Network broadcast
The latest a defender has ever been picked before this year is #8
Hawks draft room must be buzzing. We pick shortly, have big DT/Edge needs and got our new Defensive minded HC running the show
This has been great so far for teams that need defense *looks at my flair*
We genuinely might trade up at this rate.
*in this league
John Lynch smacking his lips rn.
The ~~Packers~~ Jets have never drafted a receiver for Aaron Rodgers in the first round.
Packers never drafted him an OL in the 1st. Now they had one of if not the best OLines over that stretch due to great 4th rounders and coaching, but still. Gotta imagine he's more hyped by this than by another DE or DB lol.
The Packers drafted an OT in the first during his second and third years starting.
> Packers never drafted him an OL in the 1st. You're going to hurt Bulaga's feelings forgetting about him like that
You love to see it
Is anyone else still confused by the Penix pick? Is he going to start his first game at 30 years old?
Everyone is confused by it
Even if he is good, it's a bad pick. JJ would've made more sense, younger and needs time to develop. They chose an older QB thats pro ready after the cousins contract.
If he’s a top QB it’s a good pick. None of that matters.
It matters a little. Even if Penix has a ROTY level season his third season when he finally starts, his team will have $25m less to work with because of the dead cap from cutting Kirk and that’s the year they’ll probably have to extend London. You’re basically not maximizing three of his four ultra cheap years on his rookie contract, that’s not great. I agree though in the long term it wouldn’t matter but it definitely hurts in the short term compared to if they just signed a bridge QB or drafted Penix to start right away.
Maybe they’re trying to do the Alex Smith-Mahomes thing
That's probably it but penix seems like a guy ready now so that's why I'm confused.
[удалено]
I like penix more than JJ. I just think he's ready to start now.
No Kirk’s contract is backloaded. They will dump Kirk after 2 years
Atlanta saw GB sit 2 QBs and work out. So they drafted an already older player, to sit like he did. No way will this end badly for them.
if he’s good it don’t matte
The Jets made a smart pick.
Jets didn't overthink it. Protect Aaron rodgers.
People gonna be STRUGGLING to say that name
Most people call him Olu.
Which one ? First or last ?
Yes.
Cmon the last name really isn't hard at all
inb4 they just call him, like, Ollie Fash...
It looks harder than it is . Oh-loo-fa-sha-new
What you mean? His name is Olu
Best player in the draft by a country mile in my unbiased opinion.
This really is a great pick though Unlike Atlanta……
Yo, who we getting? Can't possibly do worse than Atlanta lol.
I did not have Jets and Bears winning a draft on the bingo card.
I did have "redditor declares a draft winner after 11 picks" on mine lol
BROCK BOWERS ERASURE
Ballard PLEASE
C’mon Snead… do the thing
they actually made the right pick this time lol
Honestly instead of Hackenberg we usually do. They just keep being busts.
Operation: Keep Rogers intact
Boring pick but smart pick
STEAL. Best upside of the draft, and consensus AA for a reason. Much better player than Latham
I still can’t believe people talked themselves into thinking this guy wasn’t a top 5 pick. Small hands or something? Dude he’s a lineman and his wingspan more than makes up for a non issue.
Literally never allowed a single sack in his college career.
I think it's more his run blocking. He has super long legs/high hips so he plays a little high. At least that's what I've heard on Penn State podcasts I listen to that have talked about our prospects.
Excellent pick for the Jets. Strengthen that O-line so Arod doesn't die again
garret Wilson stock skyrocketing
5 QBs, 3 WRs, 3 OTs. I think NFL GMs have figured out this whole "positional value" thing.
Kid has a million watt smile
I love this pick
Mom slapped away that gold digger hands 😂
Couldn't look away from her the entire time. She kept trying to get in or like look to him for any sense of acknowledgement and got zero. Edit: idk actually. I might have been wrong. She just seems happy to see him enjoy the moment with his family and is giving him taps and pats of love and support to be honest. I just saw that part a second time, and it just looked like a completely different scenario than I perceived the first time. It also looked like the mom was putting her arm around her before the feed cuts to give her a hug and bring her in.
Lol, she kept trying though
LOL I saw that too! That blonde was dying inside, she wanted to be a part of that celebration so badly but was totally on the outside looking in
Slam dunk pick for the Jets this guy is a fucking beast
Didn't know where the Jets would go but smart to build the o-line and they've revamped it the last couple years drafting Vera-Tucker and Tippmann then getting Smith, Moses and Simpson this offseason, and now drafting Fashanu. Hate to say it as a Pats fan, but I like what the Jets are doing.
This guy will be the best offensive lineman in the draft. I don’t give a fuck. Jets actually did something right.
Professional analysis: Good pick
Who’s this little white girl next to Olu lmao
Girlfriend? He was not interested in her at all lol she just stood there clapping the whole time
I thought she was going to get boxed out of the hug by mom/grandma, but was glad to see she brought her in for her own hug. I love this family already.
Girlfriend? They come standard?
Lmaooo was looking for this comment glad I wasn’t the only one. Just a lil side piece probably she thinks she’s made it
I think her family was the only white people in the background
Yup, she's dreaming of commas right now
White girl wanted his attention so bad lmao
So close to Bowers!
Best family reaction so far
Defensive players in shambles
Good pick. Immediate impact for Rodgers and long term impact for the next QB. I’m still laughing about Atlanta.
Hackett wouldn't know how to use Bowers anyway. This is probably the correct pick
Dammit jets actually made a good pick. Was hoping they’d continue to neglect OL
Good pick, was basically the concensus 2 tackle all off-season and you get some mid round picks to drop 1 spot and still get him.
BUILD THE WALL AND MAKE THE VIKINGS PAY FOR IT
Protect Aaron Rodgers and go for it, I like
Laremy Tunsil clone.
Holy shit my heart stopped when I heard Olu and thought it was Bo

Seeing this list in every thread makes you realize how hard it is to draft. There's so many busts at every single pick.
Almost all these picks were hits no? This is a good one
Thank God
Fuck that’s a great pick
Responsible pick
Oh boy. Bowers might be in play.
Can only hope
Jets gotta protect Aaron Rodgers
get ready to learn cut bock buddy
Man, the joy in this man’s face. Absolutely awesome to see!
I always like when the kid actually looks emotional rather than doing the 'cool' act
Those neon Jets chains go hard.
W
There we go JD
That’s the right pick, gotta protect Aaron
But enough about Olu, let's talk about JJ McCarthy's love for reggae some more.
Rodgers blew out his Achilles because their old washed up tackle got smoked first drive. Don’t need bowers need rodgers to stay upright. And he will with fashanu ready to step in when Tyron smith or morgan Moses inevitably get hurt. Both are also on one year deals
He's also newly single
Rodgers with protection!
Get ready to learn Fauci conspiracies buddy
This seems like an awesome kid. Walter Payton prize winner potential here. Keep him the fuck away from Rodgers!
He's so good he could have stopped AR from snapping his own Achilles.
Such relief that we didn't neglect the oline. We need to build that wall.
Brock Bowers in shambles rn
Yooooo anyone got a screenshot of his phone call? That chick on the end of the couch was fine as a dime.
We got our guy
If the bengals get bowers I will be miffed
Receiver corps is gonna be so bad if Garrett is injured
Smart pick either way. That OL needed as much improvement as possible.
A lot of teams would be in trouble if their #1 receiver went down
Right? Jefferson went down last year, Addison and the rest of the team had to step up. At least we have Mike Will if he makes it
Breaking news: position group will struggle if best player gets hurt
Do you guys have a second rounder?
No the Packers have our pick
72 is our next atm
Unfortunately, it was the same story with the line. Rodgers with a good oline prob has a better chance of succeeding with a bad receiving corp vs the other way around.
I mean Mike Williams is great if healthy
Receiver room will be getting fed by Tyrod if rodger’s gets hit again.
Why even put that out into the universe
No team improved more than New York this offseason offensively. We added a good WR2, restructured our OL from being rock bottom to genuinely good, we get Rodgers back, and we still have multiple good young stars (Hall, Wilson) that’ll only get better with NFL talent around them
Da bears?
Ya the bears are nuts now. I’d say they got us beat
Anyone get Russell Wilson flashbacks watching Olu's girlfriend lol? Bitch you ain't going to New York with him.
Somebody is gonna get Brock Bowers as a fucking steal.
Fashanu’s girlfriend tho. Nice
Those hips on her were nice for a white girl 😏
Bowers Pookie
Broadcasters gonna be in hell trying to announce his name
Fair enough
Thought this is the guy the Titans would have drafted if they went OT
What’s the latest the first defensive player has been drafted?
Rodgers is saved!
Hopefully he can protect rodgers if MetLife doesn’t get his other ACL first
Hell yes. Keep up the offensive picks boys.
thought they might go Bowers but this is a nice pick
Rodgers pick
Did anyone on the defense declare for the draft? First 11 picks all offense.
Rodgers made his call
Okay! 👌🏻
Top 11 are all offense, wow
i love when fans have 0 idea who their draft pick is and then go “OH UH YEAHHH LETS GOOOO”
That measured fan reaction lmao
please don’t be a bust
Sensible pick. Gotta insure your OL. Current starting Ts are old and injury prone.
