Cowboys Draft Pick Drowned Out By Boos
Roger Goodell’s appearances on the NFL Draft stage have been met with boos for years, but Phillyfans saved their most vicious jeers for Drew Pearson, who announced the Cowboys’ second-round selection—booing him so fervently that the name was all but unintelligible. ...
The NFL Turned The Draft Into A Festival, And It Actually Worked
It’s easy to hate on the NFL Draft. First off, it’s run by the National Football League. It’s also a draft, a weird process that limits the earning power and freedom of movement of young men. Also, while my friend may watch the draft every year, I think the actual action—name is called, player walks...
Why Did The Bears Give Up So Much For Mitch Trubisky?
Nobody was more surprised at the Chicago Bears’ decision to send four draft picks to the San Francisco 49ers for the right to move up one spot and draft Mitch Trubisky than Trubisky himself.

Last Night's Winner Was This Packers Fan At A Bears Draft Party
Last night, Chicago traded up to take North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky with the second overall pick, enraging Bears fans but absolutely delighting this Packers fan who turned up at the draft party to, presumably, mock his conference rivals....
The Raiders Placed A Bet On Gareon Conley
The Raiders took Ohio State CB Gareon Conley with the 24th pick of last night NFL Draft, much lower than he was expected to go a week ago, and much higher than many teams were willing to take him. Conley is the subject of a rape investigation in Cleveland, and it’s pretty exhausting that, yet again,...

Takkarist McKinley was raised by his grandmother, and he promised just before she died that he’d make it to a Division I football team. Having achieved that—and then some—the UCLA defensive end brought a photo of his grandmother to the stage after his selection by the Falcons with the 26th pick; he ...
Bears Trade Up To Take Mitchell Trubisky With Second Pick

Deadspin Presents: NFL Draft Jersey Bingo [Update: Entries Are Closed]
Philadelphia is a fantastic location for the NFL Draft for this reason: It’s easy for a lot of NFL fans to reach. It’s a relatively short drive or train ride from New York or Washington, and not too far from multiple other NFL markets. (Come on, Bills fans! It’s like six and a half hours. Come visit...

DeShone Kizer Says His Incredible, Thoroughly Detailed Bragging Was Taken Out Of Context
Former Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer escaped the toilet factory in South Bend when he declared for the NFL draft. His draft prospects are currently a bit murky, but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him selected in the first or second round. But based on Kizer’s own self-evaluation, which he s...
The Browns Can't Possibly Fuck This Up...Right?
The consensus is that Myles Garrett will be the first pick in this month’s NFL draft, and that the Texas A&M DE can be a generational player. The consensus does not always turn out to be right, mind you—but it’s right more often than it’s wrong. The Cleveland Browns, picking No. 1, need just about e...
