It's draft day. While the NY Mets are riding a 7-game wining streak (substantially enhancing our Draft Kings Account), and having swept two series at home this week, and starting the season 12-1 at home for the best start in Mets history, we turn our attention briefly to the NFL for draft weekend starting tonight.
1 Titans - The consensus pick is Miami QB Cam Ward.
2 Browns- Here is our first critique. The Browns- perhaps the worst drafting team in all of professional sports- and going to blow it again. They are going to pick Travis Hunter- the Heisman Award winning two-way CB/WR from Colorado. The Browns GM called Hunter the "Ohtani of Football" and Hunter will be a good-great player, but follow us on this. The Browns just re-signed Myles Garrett to an enormous contract. Penn State OLB Abdul Carter is perhaps the best pure football player in the draft. If the Browns were able to line up Carter opposite Garrett, they would automatically have the best pass rush in the league for the next five years, and prevent teams from double-teaming Garrett. Drafting Carter would give the Browns the best player in the draft and exponentially expand the value of Garrett. But they will draft Hunter.
3 Giants - They race to the podium and grab Carter.
4 Cheaters - The consensus pick is OT Will Campbell from LSU. Having got their QB last year, now they need to protect him. But why not Ashton Jeanty, RB from Boise State? Nothing opens up the passing game then a generational talent at RB. Jeanty would be our pick- there's plenty of O linemen in rounds 2-7.
5. Jax Jags- Hard to see Jeanty falling past the Jags for the reasons above. If the Cheaters grab him, then Jax takes Campbell.
6 Raiders- No one is sadder about losing Jeanty then new Raiders coach Pete Carrol. He loves building a team with a RB. Don't discount Vegas trading up with the Cheaters. If not, then consensus pick is OT Armand Membou...but Rumpole says Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan is a Raiders type of player- and new QB Geno Smith would love to be throwing to him. Interesting fact- McMillan is going to be the first player in the NFL named Tetairoa. How about that nugget?
7. J..E...T..S. Jets Jets Jets. For the second year in a row the Jets grab a great Ol in round 1, choosing Kelvin Banks JR from Texas. Having lost RT Morgan Moses in FA, the Jets have this wild idea that teams who win Super Bowls start with dominating OL and DL lines like...um....the Eagles have done.
8. Carolina Panthers. Let us tell you who they are NOT taking. Shedeur Sanders. Instead the Panthers grab OLB Jalon Walker from Georgia.
9. New Orleans Saints. Now Sanders is in play. Rumpole says DO NOT DO IT. He is not a first round talent. the choice is between Sanders and Mason Graham, DT Michigan. They should draft Graham (see comments about the Jets and Eagles above), but we think they just might pull the trigger on Shedeur.
10. Da Bears. This is easy. They grab the best TE in the draft for their new QB- Tyler Warren from Penn State.
11. San Fran. Now things get tricky. There's a lot of choices. We think the 49ers go for Mykel Williams, DE Georgia if none of the other defensive players have fallen to them.
12. Cowboys. Talk about teams that have lately blow the draft, the Cowboys are right up there. They wanted Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan, but he's gone. They are a candidate to trade with the Cheaters to grab Jeanty, which would be a great trade for them. But assuming they stand pat and ignore the urge to draft the punter from North Dakoata State, then it's either WR Luther Burden III from Missouri, or one of the two top cornerbacks -Jahdae Brown from Texas or Will Johnson from Michigan.
13.YOUR Miami Dolphins. If the Cowpokes don't draft a CB then the Fins grab Jahdae Brown from Texas which is the player they have targeted. If the Cowpokes take Brown, then the Fins most likely will take Johnson, but they will consider trading down or two of the Big Defensive Tackles on the board- Derrick Harmon from Oregon or Shemar Stewart from Texas A & M. Our choice- the big guy from Oregon to anchor the defensive line for the next five years.
We may...may...live blog the draft. Tune in and see.
Oh, and Shedeur Sanders? He falls past the Steelers at 21 ( he is not a Mike Tomlin type of player) and out of the first Round to the NY Giants in Round Two. The Steelers trade out of the first round (they currently do not have a 2nd round pick) and grab their QB in the second round UNLESS DT Derrick Harmon is still on the board. Then they grab him as he IS a Tomlin type player.
Have fun and enjoy the draft.

With the first pick in the 2025 draft the Miami Dolphins select Moshe Ginsberg, Punter, East Akron State. Fins blow it again....and again....and again.
Rumpole is right. Harmon is the big fella to lead us to a SB. Lots of good CBs in rounds 2-3
With the 14 pick in the 34th round of the 1985 lawyers draft the Miami PDs select Shumie! Trial lawyer- Florida State.
Since we are off topic here, I solicit feedback. 24 y/o male with 47 y/o (never married no kids) GF , OF model, makes 65-75K month with partial nudity photos - no meeting others or other acts. Since we met at a Halloween party we have been to Tokyo, Gstaad, Milan, Paris (flew there on her invite weekend after we met), Vegas 3x, Berlin and Auckland. She pays for flights (because she wants 1st class) we split hotels 75/25 on me, and alternate food bills per day- 1 day her, next day me. She shops on her own dime, but for New Years in Tokyo bought me a sweet Rollie Daytona 2024 white gold. My family is totally freaked. Some friends agree, others are envious. Why can't I have fun for a few years? Brought her home to Queens for Passover. Did not go well. She stayed at the Mandarin in the City but came for the Seder. I got the evil eye from my mom and aunts all night long for two long seders. Help Rumpole!
Shumie was the best value pick ever!
10:06 avoid family gatherings. Duh.
My tenure at the SAO wasn’t easy I became a functional alcoholic. Having to deal with the pressures that come from being a pit prosecutor, I abruptly hit the bottle. I wasn’t proud of that. I left the office trying to find my way back to sobriety. I’m still searching.
One day at a time my friend. Email if you ever need someone to talk to.
I've crawled into a bottle twice in my law career. Once when I was a young associate billing 2,000 hours a year, and again after I got divorced while "finding myself" as a consequence of burning out from working/living like that. It's hard to climb out of that bottle, but like Rumple and many others have said, one day at a time. Keep your head up. Forgive yourself for yesterday's mistakes and keep your eyes and your thoughts on today and tomorrow. Leave yesterday in the past. I am eleven years on from divorce and along the way I found purpose and joy. I re-married, had kids, live a balanced(ish) professional life, and barely drink at all these days. Better days are ahead for you. Good luck with your journey.
Good call on the Steelers. However, according to the Liberals on twitter you are now among the racists for your correct assessment that Sanders is not a first round pick.
I think the
I think 4:53 is extremely common. When I was a new ASA, we drank and drank a lot. Put in almost 5 years there. Drank all the time. I look back on my time there and wish I could take back to much of what I did and said. Being a prosecutor was serious and rewarding. But, it led me to very dark place because I don’t think I was ready for that level of responsibility.
Draft Samders. Dis is bullsheeeet
Rump is fake Alex right ? Racism here ? Elitism? DEI? What gives ?>
Cardinal Moe Ginsberg of Brooklyn emerges as surprise front runner to be Pope. Brisket and latkes in the Vatican? Oy!
Working at the SAO lead me to a dark place as well. Not only did I consume excessive amounts of alcohol. I abused prescription and recreational drugs as well. It was probably the lowest point in my life.
I as well had to resign as an ASA. A few years back prior to the pandemic, I was getting really depressed and drinking everyday. My girlfriend left me. I let myself go. I wasn’t me . I was in a very dark place. I turned to a good friend for help. I’ve now changed careers.
Hi diddly hi ho lawyerinos. I assume you watched the NFL draft. Now it’s time to put that aside and head to the office and work on your calendars. Remember justice doesn’t take weekends off. Time to amend your discoveries. The tactic is delay turning it over. Max plea deals force trials. Remember we are the best team in America with the best prosecutor in America. Kudos to you all and Kudos to Kathy.
They treat you/us like all like passive aggressive shit to control and ensure you leave with a ball-gag in your mouth. Let’s make sure it’s you guys and not the organization…,
That place is dark and horrible. Nothing like Carlos Martinez’ leads.
Who is the SAO jail house snitch coordinator?
6:38 it is the organization. They can give three fucks about us. It’s pure hell at that office.
