NFL Teams Live on the Edge in Round 1 of the Draft

As the craziness of the night unfolded, and the trades flew, and the insanity grew, and the pockmarked players were picked early and often, a general manager provided the perfect phrase for the draft.

The Red Flag Draft encompasses everything: medical issues, experience questions, among others.

In fact, it’s likely when we look back at this draft that we will see it as one with more questionable picks than maybe any other we’ve seen.

But even the top pick in the draft has some significant questions.

They swapped places with the 49ers, moving from third to second, but gave up a staggering payment in addition to that third pick: third- and fourth-round picks in this draft, and a third-round selection in 2018.

Trubisky started just 13 games at North Carolina, and several teams told me late Thursday night the main problem with Trubisky is he rarely elevated the level of play of North Carolina.

These team officials said that in a less desperate and insane draft, a player like Trubisky would have gone late in the first round and maybe even early in the second.

One of the most controversial players in the draft is Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley, who this week was accused of sexual assault.

Not only did they pick him, the 49ers traded a second- and fourth-round pick to Seattle to move into that spot.

We’ve watched teams take risks in the draft since there was a draft.
