The conversation also touched on the impact of Embiid's injury on the series and the fairness of allowing Tatum to play without him. Despite the disagreements, it was acknowledged that draft grades mean nothing and the NFL draft had recently taken place, with Will Levis being picked by the Tennessee Titans.
Draft day success isn't always clear cut: Initial draft grades and reactions can be misleading. Focus on a team's potential in their selections.
The value of draft grades and instant reactions can be questionable. The Seattle Seahawks' selection of Russell Wilson, who didn't fit their offense, alongside Bobby Wagner and Bruce Irvin, is an example of a seemingly poor draft day that ultimately led to success. Conversely, criticisms of teams' draft picks, such as the Houston newspaper's prediction about J.J. Watt, have often proven to be incorrect. The Eagles' recent draft strategy of selecting multiple players from Georgia, following the team's impressive college football defense, is a smart move based on their success in scouting. Ultimately, the impact of draft picks is not fully realized until several years have passed. Therefore, fans should focus on the potential of their team's selections rather than relying on initial draft grades and reactions.
Mock drafts and awards have their limitations, but promising players like Darnell Washington and Stetson Bennett stand out.: Mock drafts and awards are not definitive indicators of NFL success, but the potential of players like Washington and Bennett, despite their draft positions, should not be overlooked.
Mock drafts and awards should be taken with a grain of salt as they are not made by NFL GMs and can be inaccurate. However, there are standout players like Darnell Washington from Georgia, who despite injuries, have the potential to be future stars. Washington's size, strength, and athleticism make him a promising tight end prospect. Another notable mention is Stetson Bennett, who was drafted by the Rams, and his former teammate Matt Stafford, who is currently the Rams' quarterback. Jim Irsay, the Colts' owner, made headlines by tweeting about potentially drafting Will Levis in the second round after they had already drafted Anthony Richardson. Despite the disappointment of not being a high pick, Levis could still have a successful career if he develops well in Tennessee, which has no state income tax. Overall, the NFL Draft is full of surprises and uncertainties, but the players who prove themselves on the field will ultimately have the last laugh.
The NFL Draft: A Time of Excitement and Unpredictability: Elite draft picks are being described as 'one of them ones', and the NFL Draft is a time of hope and anticipation for fans, but not all projections can be trusted.

Bryce Young is currently ranked as "one of them ones" by one analyst, indicating his high status among this year's prospects. The term "one of them ones" is a new way of describing elite draft picks, and it's a term that's being used frequently this year. The draft is a time of hope and anticipation for fans, and it's a reminder that every team has the potential to make game-changing picks. However, not all projection screens can be trusted to deliver on their promises, and even the most dedicated fans can be fooled, as evidenced by Billy's mistake with the fake Lombardi Trophy at a concert. Ultimately, the draft is a time for fans to embrace the unexpected and enjoy the journey, no matter what team they root for.
Misconception of players receiving full-size Lombardi Trophies: Players receive smaller replicas, not full-size Lombardi Trophies, when their team wins the Super Bowl.
There is a common misconception that every player receives a full-size Lombardi Trophy when their team wins the Super Bowl. However, the team receives the actual trophy, and each player is given a smaller replica. This misconception likely stems from players' emotional reactions to the trophy and their desire to have a piece of the iconic symbol of football success for themselves. Some players may choose to buy their own full-size replicas, but they are not provided by the team. This misunderstanding led to confusion and strong reactions when Travis Kelce was seen spiking a replica trophy, which was not the actual Lombardi Trophy. Football can still exist despite these misunderstandings and moments of excitement or frustration from players.

OTAs don't fully reveal a player's potential: Football evaluations rely heavily on physical attributes and performance during training camp when pads are worn.
The evaluation of a football player's potential during Organized Team Activities (OTAs) can be inconclusive, as it's not until pads are put on during training camp that a player's true abilities can be accurately assessed. Coaches may provide honest feedback to players about their prospects, even if it's not what they want to hear. While some players may be asked for their opinions on draft prospects, it's less common for them to be directly involved in the drafting process. Ultimately, the importance of pads in football evaluations highlights the significance of physical attributes and performance in the sport.
NFL players share valuable insights during draft process: Players' insights can be beneficial but may lead to confusion and the financial aspect is important to consider before entering the league.
