2025 NFL Draft Thread

This one's a slightly bigger deal because of the security breach involved. The kid got Sanders' number from his dad's tablet, which was left on a table on/unlocked. I certainly get it that in Ulbrich's case, he figures he's at home, in private, so it should be fine to leave the tablet on the table when you go to the kitchen to get coffee, use the restroom, whatever. But his punk kid happened to be home visiting and grabbed the number for future reference just to pull the prank.

Bearing in mind that Atlanta just lost a draft pick in this year's draft for tampering, the fact that they're the focus of an NFL investigation into *anything* makes it slightly news-worthy.

Otherwise, yeah, I'm guessing those kinds of prank calls happen a lot more than we know, and this one only made the news because it happened during Sanders' already news-making slide.

 

I do hope they don't try and screw with Atlanta's draft picks as a result of a coach's kid being a little shit. Fine the organization, come up with some reasonable punishment to the kid, but a shit head taking info off his dad's tablet probably shouldn't result in draft compensation punishment as a result...

 

I already know I'm going to be rooting hard for North Dakota State linebacker Nick Kubitz in training camp. Dane Brugler rated him as the 185th linebacker prospect, and that's with most top OLBs moved to the "Edge" category. I'm not sure if anyone else ranked him at all.

 

Yeah, this one got the headlines, but apparently there were 3 or 4 this year. They say it happens every year, but this one was caught on camera and it was a prospect getting a lot of air time for dropping.

I remember Baker Mayfield, who was the very first pick remember, got a call as soon as the draft opened... It was his buddy in the room standing behind him. He turned around, scolded him, then they had a good laugh about it.

Seeing tape on the Shedeur prank, it didn't really seem to bother him much either. He was like, who the fuck has this number, then said something like, that ain't right, but then proceeded on. He didn't really seem to be very upset. Though, he doesn't seem like the type of person to ever get upset about anything. I'm not sure I've ever seen a more laid back 21 year old.

 

The video above has Beane saying bitch like 6 times lol.

 

Must be drinking that Voodoo Ranger...

 

I'm dying.

 

Yeah I get his frustration.

If I had his job I would eventually learn never to listen to local radio. Not much to be gained

 

This little tid-bit is from, ESPN. Id like to say Sanders, Warren and Lundt handled it very well. I post this because it answers some questions that popped up in this thread about who the others were.

In a conference call with Cleveland-area reporters after he was drafted by the Browns in the fifth round Saturday, Sanders said he wasn't bothered by the prank.

"It didn't really have an impact on me," Sanders said, "because it was just like, I mean, OK, like I don't feed into negativity, or I don't feed into that stuff. You've seen on Deion [Sanders] Jr.'s YouTube video my reaction to it, I don't -- it is what it is. I think, of course, it is childish. Of course, I feel like it was a childish act, but everybody does childish things here and there."

New Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren also received a prank call before he was selected in the first round by Indianapolis, a league source told ESPN's Stephen Holder. Buffalo Bills sixth-round pick Chase Lundt, an offensive tackle, said in his introductory news conference that he received "four or five" prank calls during the draft.

"There were a lot of 'oohs' and 'ahhs' throughout the course of the morning, but I was able to kind of push them aside after a while and just kind of stay levelheaded through it all," Lundt said.
