Pick Is In – A [DFO] 2016 Draft Challenge LIVE Results Post

So we’ve made it to the first major event of the 2016 NFL season, the first round of the draft is tonight! As we are reminded that coaches, general managers, and meddling owners are the real stars of this league, we will also use this event to be introduced to the latest class of well-dressed athletes who, in as soon as four years even, may be budding stars preparing to be training camp hold outs insisting on new contracts, early retirees, or simply journeymen professionals chasing their athletic dreams.

Remember about a month ago when the draft universe was upside-down? The top two picks, Tennessee and Cleveland, presumably pleased with their quarterback situations (because nothing says “nah, we’re good at QB” like having a top draft pick), were expected to kick off the draft with unsexy upgrades to their non-existent lines. Boltman and Ol’ Double-J would then get some screen time before perpetual top-five picker Jacksonville would bring aboard someone with high upside who won’t make it to the preseason without getting an injury that will land him on the season-ending IR. Also, the P*triot’s didn’t have a first round pick because they had tampered with game balls and got caught. But that didn’t matter because, with Tom Brady for 16 weeks, this team didn’t need a first round pick to get off to a hot start.

Well, now our draft universe is upside-down for other reasons. The Los Angeles Rams of Raider Nation announced that their “philosophy has always been to build through the draft” before sending six of their first seven picks over the next two years to Tennessee in exchange for the right to pick first tonight. Who will they take? Well, RAMIT insiders haven’t decided yet. Not to be outdone — by LA or their previous regime — the Philadelphia Eagles gave up eight picks to earn the right to draft whoever gets rejected by the guys who assembled a 2015 QB depth chart of Nick Foles, Case Keenum, and Sean Mannion. Laremy Tunsil, the projected top pick before Tennessee traded down, is set to lose at least $1.5 million on his rookie contract as a result of these trades. Also, the P*triot’s still don’t have a first round pick because they had tampered with game balls and got caught. Also, they lost Tom Brady for the first four weeks of the season, including their Sunday Night Football home opener where Chris and Al will have to talk about Brady being out because he’s a cheater even though they don’t want to talk about Brady’s history of cheating.

Now, for everyone who submitted on Pick Is In, tonight is also judgement day for you. That’s right, click below to open the official [DFO] Draft Challenge Prediction Board, turn on the television, and get ready to weep.

I sat on a jury years ago, 2nd degree attempted murder case. One day the defendant wore sneakers with his suit to court. It was that day I knew he was guilty.

Did Suzy interview Cincy’s, Pittsburgh’s, SF’s picks?

Redshirt

I think they were at home (always a good sign).

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Worst part of the draft: Boomer, Tunsil’s gas mask, Paxton Lynch, Jack’s knee, or Deion?

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Lynch.

Horatio Cornblower

Deion. He is insufferable.

Dick E. Phuck

I thought Tunsil’s gas mask looked pretty badass.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Deion. And it’s NAWT EVEN CLOSE.

blackroseMD1

Jack’s knee.

Poor bastard.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Deion. He made me switch to ESPN.

Covalent Blonde

And here we see Pierre McGuire interview an elephant seal pup and its giant eyes…

Teddy's Bridge Over Troubled Water

Is it me or does Gruden have weird reptile eyes? They’re hypnotic.

Dick E. Phuck

Nkemdiche took a real dive.

Horatio Cornblower

The Defenestration of Arizona

...

Lowering Arizona

Horatio Cornblower

Oh shit that’s so much better.

WCS

Piss.

Good game, should be a helluva series.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yep, helluva game.
Feel bad either team had to lose that one.

Covalent Blonde

Welp. 6 more games to sort out that bastardish win.

Caps win

Good Lord, that AZ defense is gonna be sick.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Yeah…dammit…

Bastard-ass lucky-ass Cardinals.

Goodell: “Okay because you assholes booed me all night, the New England Patriots are back on the clock. Choke on that!”

Unsurprised

Uh…..

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

The Birdcano got their man.

LeighAnne

Coach Arians wore his formal Kangol hat with his suit. Nice.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

So many trades, I’m just spent

Redshirt

Did you think John Elway suffered some PTSD when they recommended they trade up in the 1st round to get a QB?

Caps win?

No way, right??

WCS

No just as a homer, that’s no goal.

Covalent Blonde

I hate to admit this, but you are totally right!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Agreed….but I don’t think it’s getting overturned.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oooops…that angle looks like it was good call.

WCS

Oh shit, maybe it is.

Doktor Zymm

It’s late. Get your pick in, no way you’re thinking about it this much. Thank Cookiethulu I’m working from home tomorrow.

Covalent Blonde

YAASSSSSS

Horatio Cornblower

For the record I ate at my wedding.

Dick E. Phuck

Nice to see Trent Baalke is still completely incompetent. Gotta stay true to form.

Defensive Back Mike Wallace

Before I forget, my new avatar is Kathleen Barr.

Redshirt

That is such a great and powerful avatar you have there.

Defensive Back Mike Wallace

Yet such a soft voice, apparently.

Redshirt

They should have had the 30th pick be a 10 minute countdown and having the Patriots pass on the pick. Really rub it in.

Moonbatting Average

So, snow and Hippo, are we full on #Lynchmob or what? Woooooooo!

(Kill me now)

King Hippo

Still pretty suicidal, but it was a lot of shit to fade. Not signing a mediocrity to a yuuuuuuge contract (check), not making a dumb FA signing (check), not making an even dumber trade (check), then not taking a QB early from a bad draft class. Oh well.

makeitsnowondem

I don’t really see a choice. I like his athletic ability and he’s not fucking Tebow.

Moonbatting Average

That’s a pretty low bar for a first round pick

makeitsnowondem

Yeah, but he’s the first-round pick we’ve got, so I’m looking for a silver lining.

King Hippo

Oh God, Niners. Traded into the 1st for the not-best GUARD on the board.

CHIP KELLY MADE ME FEEL LESS ANGRY AND I NEEDED THAT

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Gosh, I just love this shiny third-round pick! Why, whatever shall we do with it?

Redshirt

For three mid-round picks. Wow.

herodotus450

Would have been super embarrassing if the Broncos traded up only to accidentally pick Pullman Lynch.

Unsurprised

I was finally able to drag myself out of the house to get a shitty burrito and now I’m drinking a cold brew. Hooray for me.

...

God, I love those boos.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

It’s the little things that keep out cold, evil hearts warm at night.

Covalent Blonde

This OT is brought to you by “Kicking the shit out of the puck”

Doktor Zymm

49rs picking again if’n you aren’t watching

Covalent Blonde

Can’t turn away. I know he won’t be able to pitch a ball and is going to come from Oregon. This game is too close

Doktor Zymm

Yeah, you probably didn’t want to see that. Lots of later picks gone for a Guard, Garnett.

Senor Weaselo

Oh, which g–fuck, go meteor.

theeWeeBabySeamus

‘Tis really a shame that either team, Pens or Caps, has to lose this one.
Great game.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Son of a BISCUIT….thought Kuznetsov had that one.

Covalent Blonde

MOAR KICKING!

Horatio Cornblower

I hope Arizona takes Connor Cook because I need the points.

Duchess

Packers drafted a guy whose highlight reel includes allowing QB running for 3 yrds

His Right Honorable Lord Lordship the Lordly

He’s the perfect Packer for their early 2010s playoffs runs.

Shogun Marcus

More or less like the guy he’s replacing. Oh wait I mean “filling in” for while Raji “finds himself” during sabbatical. Find himself. Sweet jebus how is THAT A PROBLEM?! MIRRORS! CHILDREN MOCKING YOU! THESE THINGS CAN FIND YOU.

Brocky

GB has to find a way to make sure Matthews gets credit for beating single blocks

Horatio Cornblower

While I feel bad for Jack if I’m an NFL GM I’m not taking a linebacker with one knee with my first pick.

King Hippo

microfracture is a lot scarier than teh weed.

Redshirt

The only that is getting me through this shit is hoping the Commish breaks down in tears with the constant booing he’s getting with every pick.

Senor Weaselo

One can only dream.

King Hippo

This is still better than the Tebow pick. But it’s still a very, very bad pick. With THREE premium defensive players that all fit need AND scheme still on the board, too.

herodotus450

6 foot 7 tho do,

King Hippo

Just like Brock “trips over own feet and throws side saddle” Lobster. This guy played a real defense in the bowl and he was shiiiiiiitttttt.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I’m not sure who the third is, but the other 2 are a moron that fell out of a window and got arrested for pot and then a guy with a knee that is obviously broken

King Hippo

well yeah, you don;t get Top 5 talent at 31 without some fleas. The 3rd is the MLB from Roll Damn Tide (Reggie Ragland or something like that), consensus #2 MLB after Jack, usually mocked between 20-25.

Doktor Zymm

Factoring in the trade up, it makes me think that the Broncs do not believe that defense wins championships, even though defense just won them a championship.

Senor Weaselo

You mean it wasn’t Peyton Manning?

Duchess

Well their entire Linebacking corp did just sign with the Bears.

Shogun Marcus

Alright slingblade…whatcha got this year? Since you don’t know what free agency is…

makeitsnowondem

I can honestly live with this

Moonbatting Average

I hope you’re right.

King Hippo

Between snow and me, the truth probably lies. Hopefully it’s closer to snow. I’ma get crunk foar now.

Redshirt

They showed Tebow’s picture in a Eagles uniform. Did Denver retcon his existence on their team?

Senor Weaselo

Hey everyone. Is there some sort of reality draft today?

Moonbatting Average

Great. Now I have to figure out how I don’t hate this

Smithchez

DAT Jake Plummer comparison, though.

Cancer Kid: “With the 26th selection in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos select…HIM?! OH, JUST KILL ME NOW!

The Mighty Feklahr

AMAZING

Duchess

Paxton Lynch… A lot like Aaron Rodgers. Going late to a good team and dressed like a douche on draft day.

The Mighty Feklahr

Bro Schembechler ‏@afosma 14s14 seconds ago

Paxton Lynch gonna bring this kids cancer back

Redshirt

Was it the Vicodin playing tricks on me, or did the Bengals just select a CB in the 1st Round to play Dime CB?

WCS

Probably to steal the guy the Stillers wanted away first.

Doktor Zymm

Yeah, it reeked of “screw you” which is a fine draft day scent.

Redshirt

I’ll be sure to remember that when AJ Green is being triple-teamed and Andy Dalton is forcing the ball to the Bengals 4th Round WR selection.

King Hippo

though kind of a weird thing to do with your 1st rounder.

Doktor Zymm

I don’t see that they lose by it. Most teams have shitty secondaries, and when a team has a good one, with depth, they tend to do well. If you can screw a rival, and add value to your set of corners? Seems okay to me.

Redshirt

Bengals had bigger holes. DT is getting old. OLB has been a missing link since the ’00s. And they need to field someone decent across from Green so the defense don’t triple-team him.

WCS

The sound you just heard was the Donks contingent committing mass-suicide.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Touchdown Seahawks?

King Hippo

I’m not enough of a people person for that ,, smh

Horatio Cornblower

“OK, you booed me when I brought out Payton’s widow, you booed me when I brought out war veterans and you booed me when I brought out little kids. NOW I GOT A CANCER SURVIVOR!!! BOO ME NOW YOU ASSHOLES!!!!”

herodotus450

Cancer? What’s that? I’m unaware of it.

Doktor Zymm

Chuck Pagano is announcing the pick?

LeighAnne

Cancer survivor kid: “I wish the Broncos didn’t pick Paxton Lynch.”

King Hippo

Don’t worry kid, you probably won’t have to see him take a snap!

/see you all in hell, I will probably get there first now

Horatio Cornblower

Holee shit.

The Mighty Feklahr

kotw

Doktor Zymm

Okay, I just want Myles to go in the first now. Dude is young, no reason he can’t have a few antastic years if a team works with their trainers and isn’t fucking dumb about it. Makes sense for him to fall, you have to have a decent team already to be able to take the risk and spend the time. Also, fuck the NCAA so much. The college game isn’t remotely like an apprenticeship, it’s not set up to prepare players for professional success, and just increases risk for players with no safety net or basic provisions.

Horatio Cornblower

When I was poking around for his draft profile I saw that his mother took out an insurance policy during his freshman season at UCLA. Curious how that might or might not apply now.

Doktor Zymm

Hope they get something out of that, it seems like a smart move.
