Purple Daily, specifically Phil Mackey inside joke 

I didn't know that!  I was just referring to that brilliant documentary they made about the Browns' 2014 draft

I can't figure out how to link to direct comments from dailynorseman but the guy who posted the above video also found this quote from Booker - 

also had the best quote of the draft season:

“Everybody loves to play football when it is easy, but who loves to play it when it is hard,” Booker said. “I feel like that is what separates the good guys to the great guys in the game of football. Ultimately, I love the aggressiveness and the tenacity of the game of football.

“It’s legal assault out there. I love football because the brand of football I play, I make other guys not love football anymore. I do that every down by giving it my all.”

Man, I'll be the bad guy here I guess? I have liked Booker, but if your QB is pounding the table to roster his HS buddy, eeesh, I'm not sure that's a good look, even if he's a good player. I know on the inside it's not the same, but from an outside perspective, that looks like full blown Aaron Rodgers. The bad kind of Aaron Rodgers.

To clarify, I'm not saying McCarthy looks like Rodgers, I'm saying if the Vikings give him what he wants, it looks like they are enablers.

Guys pound the table for friends all the time. This looks nothing like Rodgers to me.

Sounds like everyone besides Tennessee wants to move up, move down, or move sideways. Maybe even failing to submit a pick like the Vikings in the early 2000s. 

Back to you, Bob.

For sure, but it rarely happens. Except for Rodgers, for whom it happens all the time.

My rhetoric was overly cautious, but it only ends up being a good look if the player actually turns out to be really good. McCarthy's pounding can't have any sway over the matter.

[nicksaviking]

Wow, this draft coverage is going to be intolerable.  

[Vanimal46]

I’m shocked how many people are in the crowd. I can’t imagine how boring it is to watch the draft in person

Right, and with a bunch of drunk, large, sweaty, loud 'sconies.

[Vanimal46]

Wow. Huge blockbuster

Good lord what an overpay.

[Mike Sixel]

Jax gave up an insane amount there. Wow.

That was "franchise QB" price for a CB.

For those interested, I'm predicting picks live here on my draft board:

[Vanimal46]

Chalk so far with the players in the draft slot. Only change is the blockbuster trade for Jax

Who is the guy in the green suit hugging the draftee before they go on stage?

[Parfigliano]

Not enough face tats to be Raider fans

Mel Kiper doesn't seem to be very tied into the pulse of the league any more. He's about three hours early talking about Shadeur Sanders, but that's all he's talking about.

NFL channel isn't quite as annoying.

[Vanimal46]

Bears with the first curve ball of the night. And now the draft is getting demoted off the big screen because it’s time to drop the puck. Let’s go Wild! 

[gunnarthor]

Shoot. Cowboys take Booker.

[nicksaviking]

There goes Booker earlier than expected. Which, I mean, he's a stud Alabama guard with few things to nag about, so it probably should have been expected.

[gunnarthor]

I now Grant. Ugh.

[TheLeviathan]

Yeah, those are two reaches that hurt our hopes.

[gunnarthor]

When did Kurt Warner become insufferable?

[gunnarthor]

I didn't think Nolan would drop but that's one less DL for the Vikes.

It's Shemar Stewart

[Vanimal46]

The guys in the trenches are flying off the board. Looking more and more like a trade back, potentially out of the 1st round for the Vikes. Unless they really love one of the CBs
