NFL Draft grades and predictions are meaningless; the only thing that matters is getting a player with fun highlights.

I'm a big believer of draft day means nothing. And it's fun to get excited and watch highlights—draft day's about watching highlights. That's the only thing that matters is getting a guy who has fun highlights that you can go to bed tonight watching them and get you excited for the future. But it means nothing.

This is a philosophical stance on sports fandom that can't be proven true or false.

Draft Day would be one of the worst movies ever if it didn't have real NFL logos

Draft Day would be maybe one of the worst movies of all time if it didn't have the rights to the exact NFL logos and team names. If they had to make up like a fake NFL league, that movie would suck. Turns out that it rocks because it's like, oh, I recognize the Browns logo.

The movie's popularity is highly tied to its authenticity as an NFL-branded product, supporting the claim.

Will Levis cannot be considered a bust because he was not selected in the top 10 of the NFL Draft.

I actually think it's in a weird way, you can't be a bust if you go, if you don't go in the top 10. So now people won't judge [Will Levis] the same. Now he has time to flourish to be a multi-Super Bowl winner.

The label of 'bust' is subjective, but Levis starting games as a rookie and showing potential suggests he hasn't reached bust status yet, though he was eventually benched in year two.

The Arizona Cardinals and the Houston Texans won the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

The Cardinals and the Texans might have just won the first round draft. I'm gonna give the Texans an A plus because they picked second and third and they got good players.

The Texans drafting the eventual OROY (Stroud) and DROY (Anderson) makes this a very strong take in hindsight.

I would take Jalen Hurts over Trevor Lawrence

I would take Jalen Hurts.

Quarterback preference is inherently subjective and cannot be definitively judged.
