This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I hate the system they use. by Leeroy_Jenkins
I don't however have any doubt that Utah will win 1st overall this year.
The general angst against Chicago was more about moving way up in the draft when they were outside the top 10 which hurt teams that were legit bad during that window. I'm totally ok with the bottom 5 teams being a lottery for 1-5, but teams 6-11 weren't tanking to get draft picks. Things just happen to work out for Chicago meanwhile in Detroit...
Dropped 2 spots in 2017 from 7th to 9th
Dropped 1 spot in 2018 from 5th to 6th
Dropped 2 spots in 2019 from 4th to 6th
Detroit dropped 3 spots in 2020 draft from 1st to 4th
Stayed put in 2021 and 2022
