Coughlin manages to even draft a black fullback. Perhaps he has not been paying attention to what has been hampering Jacksonville because it certainly has not been white players.

So, Houston goes with black C Fuller instead of the higher-rated White C Orlosky who's been sitting at 95 rank at CBSSports all day long.

Did Kelly get drafted? If he didn't it's ridiculous.

Chad Kelly is the last pick. He didn't do anything as bad as many of the blacks drafted - boneheaded decisions for sure but his talent on the field was undeniable. IMO he was a big target of the anti-white draft machine.

Going to the Broncos is a good situation. He needs time to recuperate from his knee injury and learn the ropes.

Unfortunately he'll be playing for an Affirmative Action coach, so that's not in his favor.

But still, he'll be given a chance to develop.

I don't even want to know the # of white men drafted this year. It has to be an all-time low for the 7-round drafts.

If memory serves me right, the average since this site started has been about 60 each year.

I guess we should have a bunch of white men as top QBs next year, which should be something to look forward to.

Of course most of the MSM will imply racism, saying blacks still aren't getting a fair chance at the position.

Anyway, I'm off to watch white men play hockey, with golf and certain MLB teams to take in over the next several months as well.

My thoughts exactly, Van Slyke. I didn't even watch that much of the draft today. What a waste of time. The NHL playoffs have been great this year. I suggest that everybody try and follow them if you can.

For our UDFA, it's arguably better they didn't get picked than going in the 7th. At least now they can choose between whichever teams have interest in them, if any.

I hope that is what happens for TE-Cole Hikutini, my favorite player at Louisville the last couple of years. I saw several mock drafts showing his being selected by the 5th round, but he went undrafted!! He's 6-4, 240 lbs. Academically, he was on the Dean's List. He never takes a play off. He moves well, reads routes well. And last season, he caught 50 passes for 670 yards WITH a knee injury.

Probably the only Cardinal I could stomach to support last year on a very dark team. He bailed out Lamar Jackson many times with his steady hands, route running, and speed.

I see undrafted Tanner Gentry signed with the Bears. Year after years a slew of low level black WR's are picked in the later rounds, yet talented young men such as Gentry go undrafted. It's a fake operation, I tell ya.

Man, I totally forgot about Clemson ILB Ben Boulware. Mind-boggling how all of those black scrubs got picked before him, just unbelievable. He signed as a UDFA with the Panthers.

Its the same every year. Lots of very talented white players go undrafted while undersized, slow, fat, criminal, non-productive blacks get drafted instead at the same positions.
