    Technically Allen released this information. Anyone that hadn't already looked this up isn't doing their job. All the teams knew about this shit already.
    The Browns knew Manziel was a mess but hey, they still drafted him...
    But... that's the Browns
    ...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...

    I also review social media when scanning candidates for employment.  You would be foolish and lazy not to, imo.
    I think there's a fine line.  Maybe if you've narrowed it down to the two or three finalists for the job and you review them, but I think looking at social media for every applicant is a bit intrusive.  Unless that person is going to be a public face for your company (salesperson, public speaker, liaison, etc) I really don't see how what they say or do or post on social media has any relevance on how well they can perform a job (in general. Specific situations may warrant it).  I mean, we didn't go around screening people's phone calls or hang out at arcades and bingo night in the 80s to determine whether we'd hire someone, why peek into their personal life now?  I'm a complete fucking mess of a person from Thursday at 530pm thru Sunday night.  If my company knew the shenanigans I got into in my private, personal time away from work, I'd be Unemployable.  Furthermore, unless there is a severe pattern of terrible behaviour on display, I'd hope employers wouldn't take things said 4-5-8 years ago from an immature teenager too seriously.

    ^ This is also why this PJ forum and Instagram are the only forms of social media I have. :lol:

    If I was a top prospect I would just be praying not to get picked #1 or #4!
    The Browns have a remarkable talent for squandering talent.
    They don't know how to win and a rookie isn't going to teach them.  I think they should trade both for a veteran quarterback, but Cleveland would probably burn to the ground.

    I am VP of Sales, so yes....salesperson.  I look at everyone I consider.
    We also do a background check and a credit check.  (We, of course, only do this for serious candidates - and they know and approve of this before we do it.)  Finalists also get a DISC analysis.  (A type of personality test)

    Culture is King these days....and you cannot look closely enough at a person and analyze what type of person you want to bring into your family and invest in.  Who walks out that door representing us is who we are.  (And the group of people we sell to is far too small to have someone damage our company name.)

    No way an NFL team doesnt do a very deep dive on every person they consider drafting.

    I could be wrong but the Browns and Jets picks weren't good. Don't take my word for it

    Giants and broncos made out.
    Damn 49ers got snaked when Smith went before us.  Getting an OL is always good if he pans out.
    Have to root for a goober from Notre Dame. 
    Oh well.

    I hope Sam does well for Jets.  They sit him a year it will be a great move.  He is an extremely talented kid and having a year to learn will help any QB.

    It's weird how Mayfield went from he's too short. Barely mentioned for top 10 to being no. 1 overall pick

    Same old browns.
    Taking the Browns to the Super Bowl is the best way to say you are taking a dump

    HAHAHA>good one.

    Browns better HOPE that Mayfield is their QB for the next 10-15 years,  when they passed on the best player/prospect in this Draft in Barkley. Especially, when all of these QB's have been pretty much rated the same going into this Draft.

    Love the bears pick. The kid is a freak to add to an already stout defense.

    I'm going to have to listen. I missed this segment.

    Draft was entertaining. Looking forward to round 2. Lot's of good players still.

    Broncos pick was great! 

    Not sure why the Giants didn't pick a QB though?  Manning has 2 years left so why not train one now?

    Avg career of an RB is 4 years?

    Jets will ruin whomever they draft at QB.  They've had a pretty bad track record.

    The Browns are the Browns.  It really doesn't matter what they do, that organization is just bad.

    I liked the 49ers pick and Colts pick too but I believe that for the Colts it's a little too late.

    Watch the 49ers do some good things this year.

    There's been a shift in mentality towards running backs in the last couple of years. For at least five years... a lot of teams preferred to ham and egg it with a stable of cheap running backs.

    Recently, teams have demonstrated that a strong running back equates to success.

    Saquon will make the Giants better immediately. I loved the pick for them (and I'm not a Giants fan).

    The head scratcher to me was the Saints' pick of Davenport-paying a king's ransom to get a relatively raw guy.

    Picking a RB 2nd overall is foolish.  

    It is such a plug and play position, without much separation between the top and low.  Much of it is a product of the entire offense.  Kind of like goaltending in the NHL.   T
    Teams have figured this out, which is why you dont see running backs chosen highly anymore, and you dont see them with high contracts.  


    The Giants not drafting Darnold to replace their 41 year old QB who hasnt been good and was benched last year was foolish.  I would be irate if I were a fan.  If youre not going to draft a QB, go with Nelson or Chubb.

    I do like Barkley but not as a first round pick.  Again, avg lifespan for a RB in the league is 4 years.  Maybe he lasts longer, who knows?  The analytics on the ages are really crazy.

    Why the value of an RB's stock has dropped is beyond me?  I always wondered if the concussion thing was discussed amongst the owners and gearing away from so much ground and pound?

    I'm a giants fan and I absolutely love their pick!  From what I've heard on talk radio everyone seems pretty pumped about Saquon.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......
