This is absolutely disgusting. Literally disgusting. Why do I cheer for such a joke of an organization? 
 

I literally said to myself over and over “Anyone but Leatherwood, Anyone but Leatherwood” over and over before the pick was read. I would of even accepted Christian frickin Barmore. 
 

This is so gross. 
 

Leatherwood would not have been picked before the 40’s. Would he have lasted until 48? Probably not. But he likely would of went 45 to the Jaguars. 
 

His average Ranking was also 61st. And he was DJ’s 62nd Ranked Player.

Same thing as Bowden here. Mayock and Jon thought Bowden was a RB. Everyone else on the planet, coaches, GM’s, fans of ALL teams, draft analysts, EVERYONE else on the planet knew Bowden was a WR in the NFL. 
 

Mayock and Gruden think Leatherwood is a RT. 
 

EVERYONE, all teams, all coaches, all GM’s, all fans of all teams, all draft analysts, EVERYONE knows Leatherwood is a G.U.A.R.D. 
 

He’s a GUARD. 
 

You guys will show optimism as a defense mechanism. Don’t. 
 

He’s a GUARD. 
 

GUARD.
