I love watching the pure joy of the families celebrating together, admit it brings me to tears, just so much love and caring in the room, so many of the unsung heroes are those who play such a pivotal role in getting these guys to where they are today.

Yep. Also can't help but think of all the unhappy draft parties, attended by friends and family, who just never get the call they're desperately hoping for.

It's an unbelievable story...
Purdy made the 49'ers believe in him and that's all that counts.
Good for him for taking advantage of the opportunity presented. He pretty much changed the trajectory for generations of his family to come.

I've got a ton of (admittedly quiet) enthusiasm for this kid, because both our WR2 and WR3 have issues/weaknesses that either have them in trouble, or have them performing less than we'd prefer.
Tai looks to have the tools, and if he's got the mentality/character...he could be challenging for WR2 by season's end.
Wishing a great season for the team, Especially Mundt and Kwenkeu!

I'm stoked about Felton....going to be just another excellent WRer pick in Viking's history of picking good receivers.

Rams tried to trade up from 26 all the way to 8 for what was likely a king's ransom, before they backed out at the last second. Panthers took Tet McMillan, so some speculate that's who the Rams wanted, but I think they probably wanted one of the TEs, Loveland or Warren. Ultimately, they ended up trading down from 26 and took a TE with their first pick in the 2nd round.
