Hmmm… I’ll have to ask @CuriousHusker for his official ruling on crushing on draft picks after they’re drafted (since this is his thread after all). Now they’re just Lions crushes, and we all have those.
However the other three I can do right now!

Also, falling out of love? I do crush-list removals as well. Just drop a name in the comments.
McCormick, but Nourzad might shade it if he wasn’t so old (not like McCormick’s young though).
Ya know, I’ve never thought of age when it comes to OL
Outside of a few exceptions like Whitworth and Trent Williams, their careers end every bit as early as everyone else. Earlier sometimes, Ali Marpet was a star who retired at 28.
Yeah interesting that nobody had him as a crush since pretty much every CB available was being crushed on.
With much lower expectations for the OL, my new crush for a sixth rounder is: Travis Glover Georgia State. Great hands, good punch, tackle or guard.
C’mon down.

Your probably right
I just never thought of it
We suck
Hey - you missed my crush on Rakestraw!!
Shoutout @JerseyJungle only one hot for Ennis the Menace
Thats2 was trying to rig it in favor of Green
Don’t let him get away with it
Ha, rig what in favor of Green? Most crushed on? Mikey was always winning that. Also that’s not a thing. I could care less.
There were a ton of posts that said “I like this guy, not here but later” and if I wasn’t told specifically to add them to the list, I had to eventually make judgement calls on whether those were official crushes or not. They don’t sound very crush-y. This one fell into that gray area.
But in the spirit of you being one of the only ones to mention him, I’ll add him retroactively to the list.
Thanks, bro!
Kidding. You had some great calls
Green, Rosegarden, Bishop, etc when everyone has them going later you called them out early.
Actually us as a unit did quite well…even outside Mikey & Junior Colson etc
A lot of these sites had these guys going later
Kiren, Mccaff, etc when we see the value in the mock simulator and we pounce heavy
Probably a good sign that NFL teams will do the same
Noted for next year

There’s also a lesson I think to not get caught up in all the hype from the Senior Bowl thru draft day. The opinions from before the Senior Bowl tend to be stickier: Sweat being a late 1st/early 2nd. Quinyon too. Nix going high. JPJ a mid-2nd (which I said all along). Lassiter a late 1st/early 2nd. Keon Coleman a late 1st/early 2nd.
I mean this mock from January 16th is shockingly accurate. A couple of big whiffs like Trice, but for the most part he got everyone pretty close to where they went (including nailing Penix to Atlanta… that was pre-Kirk, but still)
Is it just me or did Jim Nagy go full PT Barnum this year. He’s always promoted his guys which is great but boy was he over the top. Wonder if Shrine’s success getting a couple elite guys has anything to do with it.
Definitely possible, because Galko’s doing the same stuff.
Though it’s also possible he’s got someone else doing all the hype stuff. That’s the sort of thing you’d leave to an intern.
Good point. New intern that was a bit less subtle makes sebse
