I like Thornton, reminds me of Robby Anderson. Yet to trade up in the 2nd? I had many better players available. At least he's more skilled than Bethel Johnson, Aaron Dobson and Chad Jackson. Bill just has a different board this year lol. I was looking at best available then stopped because they are just going to draft random players from god only knows where in the rankings. I do expect a running back in the next round. Knew they’d take a back - kind of expected more of a pass catcher but not surprised as they aren’t going to resign Harris

Like to see them get another WR from the list UMass provided. An outside CB prospect? Big NT late (like Ogbonnia or Elliss). RB will likely come and a QB. TBC some of these likely to come as UDFAs. Give me some Ellis

Feel bad for Embiid, and sucks that Miami and Philly won't beat the crap out of each other before the ECF. Not saying it will be easy but is it me, or does it just feel like the world keeps opening the door for the Celts to be in the Finals? Or Miami

You think every NBA draft has 6 franchise players in it??? It's the draft, so potential franchise players. It was the Randle versus Smart debate we had before that draft. Smart was more NBA ready, Randle had bigger upside. One of the few times Danny played it safe with a high pick. The problem with this is Smart Is a top 5-8 player in that draft so Danny basically nailed it. The only guys available at 6 who were realistic (ie not Jokic) were Randle and maybe LaVine if you want to stretch it and there’s an argument to be made Marcus is better than those guys. He’s certainly a better fit for todays team.

These are looking like two very good series in the East which will lead to a really tough ECF. Celtics are 30-6 over their last 36. If R Williams can get back to 100% this could be the year. Other teams are dealing with some bad hammies and without rest that doesn't go away. Don’t gloss over Jaylen Browns hamstring issues

By the way, McVay can kiss his conversations with Bill goodbye.

Seems to me like the Pats could have traded back again and gotten Strange around 40 or so at the least. BB with another real head scratcher. Bucs had Strange in for a top 30 and need a guard so there’s speculation that he may have been their pick, but still… who cares?

I think a few things can be true:
1. Cole Strange there’s a decent chance he wouldn’t have made it all the way to 54
2. It’s still a bad pick and why you don’t leave a hole you HAVE to fill on the offensive line like this.
3. He could be a really good player but it’s still a bad pick in a draft where you really need to add premium talent. Lowers your draft ceiling by a huge margin and now you need to mail a bunch of other picks.

Wow, it’s gonna be Pickett to Pittsburgh. Johnson may be the best edge in the draft. They probably never scouted him so they’ll take someone else.

I did not expect McDuffy or Johnson to still be on the board at this point.

Shams Charania @shamscharania The left MCL injury of Bucks All-Star Khris Middleton is a Grade 2 sprain and he is expected to miss the entire second-round series vs. Celtics, sources tell @theathletic @stadium. The recovery of Grade 2 MCL places a potential Conference Finals in jeopardy for him as well. Crazy! No Middleton at all. Huge break for the Celtics. I say Celts in 6. Feeling good, especially if Timelord gets himself up to speed. Long break between games 2 and 3 should help him too. Middleton is a huge loss and he’s a Celtics killer, but don’t get excited about seeing more Grayson Allen. The guy is a pain in the ass but balls out in big games. Guy basically won the National Title for Duke as a freshman and was a stud last series after Middleton went down.

If the Sox continue their horrendous play, it may be time for a fire sale. I love Xander and Nate, but if Chaim doesn't believe they will sign with us, then I absolutely hate the idea of letting them go for nothing at the end of the year. They have so many free agents, so the real question is what can 4+ months of Eovaldi, Xander, Kiké, JD, Vasquez, JBJ get us in trades? We have money, so we could even offer to pay the majority of their salaries this year for a better return. I am not as knowledgeable about the farm systems of the other MLB teams as many of you on the forum, so I am curious what could be out there. Obviously, the teams we would be dealing with would have to be contenders or they wouldn't want any of these guys for only 4+ months BUT, with the extra playoff teams now, that should at least open up the number of teams we could deal with. I still hope they go on a long winning streak and none of this is necessary. But, if they get off to something like a 15-25 start, it could be time to punt. Curious what you guys think is out there. It’s about 2 months early to be considering this question. I think trading Xander is a mistake - it’s still better to try and resign him after he discovers his market.

All this Andrew Booth and Kaiir Elam and Quay Walker talk has me very nervous. You cannot fuck up this first round pick with a mediocre zone corner or the 6th best guy on his own college defense. It is so important for New England to have a draft like they had last year. You need three starters who are better than what you already have. Wyatt, Jones and Pitre were big time senior bowl performers - it wouldn’t shock me to see one of those guys.
