I laughed.

Since we're through 2 rounds in 8 days I'm not even going to bother changing the clock to 12 hour limit. Just keep rolling smooth, y'all.

With the 63rd pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select... Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa State With the 64th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots select... Charles Omenihu, DL, Texas With the 65th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select... Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, S, Florida

Eagles take RB Devin Singletary outta FAU.

They say games are won in the trenches, and so far how the draft has fallen the trenches is what I've been fortifying for the Texans. While not a pressing need, Tillery was just too good to pass up in the late 2nd. They did just lose Christian Covington to the Cowboys, so it does need to be addressed eventually. Mercilus-Tillery-Reader-Watt-Clowney ^ That d-line would be ridiculous! Now obviously the biggest need is to protect Deshaun Watson, so that's why I even reached a bit on McGovern. He's likely more a 3rd round prospect, but I feel like there's a big drop-off in talent at Guard after him and I didn't want to risk him being gone by the next Texans pick. As far as the Cowboys go it sucks they don't have a pick until #58, but they'd have to be ecstatic to have a first round talent like Parris Campbell fall into their lap. More of a BPA pick, still Dak needs more weapons to throw to other than Amari Cooper and I feel Campbell would be a great complement to him. Sidenote: Cowboys are also interested in trading up in the 3rd round, so if you want to trade down shoot me a PM.

With the 62nd pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints select . . . IRV SMITH JR. TE. ALABAMA. How are you still available my friend. Saints had Ben Watson retire and never really replaced Jimmy Graham. Until now. The Saints don't need a lot, but with someone like him you'll have to think twice about doubling Mike Thomas and/or Kamara.

With the 59th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts select: Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina.

Which means literally nothing when it comes to the Steelers and how they have operated since the 70's. The Steelers honor their star players' contracts even when it does not benefit the team to finish out their last couple years. He'd have seen all $45M of the guaranteed money plus his base salary. And like I said before, the contract details had not been released until today. The SB Nation article you posted is incorrect and claims the only money he had fully guaranteed was $10M for year 1 when in reality it was $20.5M. They and Rapoport (a stupid fucking hack--why are we even entertaining his reporting as fact?) both incorrectly assume that the only guaranteed part of a contract is the signing bonus when in reality any part of the contract can be deemed "guaranteed," which is the case with his current contract as well as the one the Steelers offered. That dumbass SB article spent a bunch of time whining about "establishing a narrative" while in the same breath quoting Rapoport and pointing only at the $10M signing bonus to slant the narrative toward Bell being the winner. It would behoove you to read this article comparing the fine details of the contracts. They estimate that he lost $19M in real cash by sitting out '18. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/leveon-bell-contract-details-revealed-heres-how-much-jets-new-star-may-have-lost-by-sitting-out-2018/ LeVeon is only getting $25M fully guaranteed money total. This year he will get $14.5M guaranteed while the Steelers' deal offered $20.5M guaranteed in year 1. Year 2 with the Jets bumps up to $26M total while the Steelers deal rose to $33M. Year 3 moves to $45M from the Steelers whereas the Jets gave themselves an out. In 2021 he's only going to get a $3M training camp bonus as well as $500k from per game bonuses ($31.250*16). This situation is laughably bad for LeVeon considering all the posturing and spouting off he did. I guess if we're being positive he got a year's vacation at the cost of ~$19M.

With the 58th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select... Parris Campbell, WR, Ohio State
