Apparently it was his brother in the video. So now it's just weird.

The cameras were on Lynch several times. What do you mean?

Well when he first got picked there was some guy behind him that kept grabbing him and hugging him from behind.
I thought, well maybe he's gay (I wouldn't care), but I twitter searched it and I guess it was his brother. So now it's just weird

If Azu's right and Cincy did take the guy they wanted, then congrats to them. Cincy needs to occasionally get a meaningful win if they want to have a rivalry!
Yeah I'm seeing a lot of places aren't giving the Steelers that great of a grade for Burns. I've had Jackson mocked to them since the start. He was definitely the guy they wanted. I don't really think they reached that much on Burns though. Burns probably is a 2nd rounder but the Steelers needed a CB and he was the best available IMO. I mean they could have taken Alexander or Fuller but those guys also had 2nd round grades. I also think people just expected them to take Jack or one of the DTs that have fallen out of round 1.

Brace yourself, there is going to be a lot of butt hurt over this post.

BTW, if he were gay it would be 100% better than how Michael Sam handled it.

I'd have no problem with him being gay. I tried to make sure my post made that clear. I'm 100% for anyone being able to be happy and love however they want. Everyone deserves happiness and love.

The scene was just really awkward. And made me wonder if it was just a weird moment with a family member or maybe a spouse.

To me it's 100000x more weird now that I know it's his brother.

Think I read that the Cowboys doctor did the surgery on him. Must feel comfortable.

Yup just saw that too. Guess it might not be such a big gamble.

Idc It's fucking stupid. I would have been ok with Myles Jack at least he will play this year.

I like the start of the 2nd round talent more than the 2nd half of the 1st so far.

They have a lot of "ifs" with them but they have the potential to be really good soon if their injured guys pan out and Bortles takes another step up.

Schefter said Jaylon Smith would go Day 2, as he was hearing half the teams would take that gamble. I think Jerry liked him and didn't want to wait another round just to see someone else grab him.

Michael thomas to saints. He'll have the best year by any rookie wide receivers

I think Thomas will be a great NFL WR.

I also think Thomas will be very good. Better pro than he was college player.

I like both of the Bengals picks so far and I hope we get Braxton in the 3rd round
