We're finally in Draft week. It honestly feels like it takes forever to get to here from the end of the Super Bowl, especially this year where there was no Combine, while also having seemingly endless Pro Days. But, now that we're finally here we're starting to see the signs of where each team is leaning (Daniel Jeremiah always bases his mock drafts on what he's hearing from various inside sources, not what he personally ranks his players. This close to the Draft, it's always worth checking out what DJ is saying in regards of where teams are going. His latest Mock Draft was early April, so it's a tad outdated, but he should publish his final one this week.) As always, take Mock Drafts with a grain of salt, but Daniel Jeremiah is really good at what he does, and I highly recommend his podcast as a more mainstream Draft podcast.
That's now what this post is about, however. Instead, this post is intended to talk about the top 3 OT prospects in the NFL Draft, and who, I consider, to be so far ahead of the next tier of guys that it's actually hard to even compare them. In this thread, I'm going to try and dispel myths that seem to pop up during every OT talk (Slater is tiny, Sewell is the best LT prospect ever, Sewell and Slater are far and away ahead of Darrisaw). I'm also going to shine a light on where I think each OT prospect will fit best, because a lot of success with these three guys are going to come from schemes. Sewell isn't going to be as good as Slater or Darrisaw in some offensive schemes, and likewise in the reverse. Darrisaw is going to excel in areas that Slater and Sewell will take a long time to reach. Slater is going to offer versatility beyond what either of those guys bring. But I'm going to save that for the actual breakdowns. Let's begin.

... keep reading on reddit ➡The funeral director was asking us what we think Mum should wear in her casket.
Mum always loved to wear sarongs (fabric wraps that go around the torso and drape downward a bit like a long skirt would), so my uncle suggested that she wear a sarong in there.
The funeral director looked a bit confused, as did some of our family members, to which my uncle added:
"What's sarong with that?"
I started laughing like an idiot. He was proud of it too. The funeral director was rather shocked. We assured her, and our more proper relatives, that Mum would've absolutely loved the joke (which is very true).
His delivery was perfect. I'll never forget the risk he took. We sometimes recall the moment as a way help cushion the blows of the grieving process.
--Edit-- I appreciate the condolences. I'm doing well and the worst is behind me and my family. But thanks :)
--Edit-- Massive thanks for all the awards and kind words. And the puns! Love 'em.
I would have a daughter
But Bill kept the Windows
Capital of Ireland
It's Dublin everyday
True story; it even happened last night. My 5-year-old son walks up behind me and out of the blue says, "hey."
I turn to him and say, "yeah, kiddo? What's up?"
He responds, "it's dead grass."
I'm really confused and trying to figure out what's wrong and what he wants from me. "What? There's dead grass? What's wrong with that?"
.

He says, totally straight-faced, "hay is dead grass," and runs off.
You officially hit rock bottom
And then you will all be sorry.
Now it’s syncing.
He replied, "Well, stop going to those places then!"
She said how do you know he was headed to work?
I will find you. You have my Word.
“thank you for your cervix.”
...sails are going through the roof.
Made me smile
Mods said I'm a cereal reposter...
A taxi
But now I stand corrected.
Wait. Sorry, wrong sub.
Wookie mistake.
Theoretical Fizz-ics
Because you can’t ‘C’ in the dark
so I had to ground him.
He's doing better currently.
And conducting himself properly.
Now he’s a great grandfather
An assassin
I said, “That makes two of us.”
