Not a big deal, but seemed weird since he did it with all other picks that I noticed.

Oh, Fin, that's sh*t is personal - very personal...

So is McCoy another Stephone Anthony? Appeared to have a great rookie year then....BOOM! Dog house...

Excellent Pizza Pie and Cold Yuengling - Time for a four hour nap...

May have to get one of those Popeyes Sammiches which will be one less than that rookie can have, right Smash?

Sammiches. That's funny right d'ere!

Man, I miss Yuengling

LT (2) 72 - Terron Armstead, 73 - Ethan Greenidge

LG (2) 75 - Andrus Peat (FA 2020), 62 - Nick Easton

C (2) 51 - Cesar Ruiz (R1P24, #24), 63 - Cameron Tom (FA 2020)

RG (2) 78 - Erik McCoy, 67 - Larry Warford, 64 - Will Clapp

RT (2) 71 - Ryan Ramcyzk, 68 - Derrick Kelly (RFC 2020)

Would love to move Warford and a fifth for MIA Round 2 pick, even our original pick and take RT Ezra Cleveland...

Then we could move Ram to LT and Mr. Glass could get us another Day 2 pick like LBer Logan Wilson or maybe, a defensive end or cornerback I dare not jinx...

Thanks everyone for a great first round watch party! I was upset that we got sooo close to getting Justin Jefferson but Cesar Ruiz was another guy in my “bubble” so I’m happy. Can’t wait for tomorrow!

PFF draft profile claims Ruiz is not athletic ??

Go figure...

No, look he graded solidly as a blocker, it's just that the added responsibilities were a bit much for him...

If you move him off the ball, he can focus on blocking assignments only - a mid 80s graded lineman now just mauling; so you get younger, stronger, cheaper at RG...

Now you can extend Ramczyk, Lattimore, Kamara, Mr. Marcus...

And you still have Anzalone and T-Rex contracts coming due...

Look at those combine numbers - a 5.08 40? 28 reps on the BP? 33 inch Vertical? PFF has started a good system, but it's flawed with the subjective nature of sketchy graders...

Besides, he's gonna play Center, and McCoy will move to Guard...
