Steelers trade with Denver to acquire the 10th pick (Denver gets 20th pick + a second round pick and 2020 third round pick). Select ILB Devin Bush.
WHAT?! That's fucked.
For whom?

Denver

@Sneakdefreak Just looking at his outfit, I know for sure he's going to get suspended at some point.
-
Miami don't pick a QB, instead going for a DT. Washington will get a QB fall into their lap in Ohio State QB Haskins.
-
In other news, QB Patrick Mahomes is the cover athlete for Madden 20. In keeping with the Madden curse, news comes out of his star WR Tyreek Hill talking about a child abuse case.....
Hill heard on audio discussing son's abuse case
Tyreek Hill is heard discussing striking his son on an audio recording of the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver speaking with his fiancée, Kansas City television station KCTV reports.
-
Denver picks TE Noah Fant, the second of the two Iowa TEs drafted in the first round. Iowa seems to be a TE factory (49ers TE Kittle is also an Iowa player)

Kyler Murray goes #1 to the Cards.
Nick Bosa to the 49ers at #2.
Nashville was a good choice to host this draft. Looks amazing.
So Rosen will get traded and my 49ers get the best player in the draft. I'm happy (about the 49ers part).
Williams is probably the best player in the draft if you measure on pure ability. Bosa's combo of ability and positional value pushes him up the board.
Was interesting to see Allen have a mini slide to seven after being talked up quite a bit.
Giants pick the player that looks the most like Eli. That franchise looks like more and more of a mess every decision they make.
-
Washington is doing alright in this draft. Just got DE Sweat.
-
Some news from the second round of the draft:
-
Arizona trades a 2020 5th round pick and OB Josh Rosen to Miami for a late second round pick. Arizona traded up last year to jump Miami and draft Rosen. Miami now gets Rosen for cheap.
-
Kansas City drafts a speedy WR to potentially replace Tyreek Hill who is probably about to go to jail.
-
Denver trades up to get Mizzou QB Drew Lock which won't please Joe Flacco.
-
49ers select two WRs, one speedster and a big WR.
-
-
The Hill case is an interesting twist on the Madden curse
-
Brady's successor found in the fourth round - Jarrett Stidham from Auburn.
Shades of Brady: Pats' Stidham 7th QB selected
The Patriots are hoping to strike gold twice, drafting Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham with the 133rd overall pick. Like Tom Brady in 2000, six quarterbacks were taken ahead of Stidham.

Perspective.

Perspective.
I'm assuming that is only viewership in the States for GOT and NFL? I would say world wide GOT would have been much greater?
-
Also, HBO and NFL are on slightly different platforms (extra subscription cable versus basic cable/free to air), and that number (13.6 million) doesn't include other streaming (i.e., only via cable connection I think) which puts it up towards 20 million - about the same as the premium weekly games (like Monday night football, Thursday night game of the week) - and a record for HBO I think.
It's still miles below the Super Bowl though of course, which has like a third of the population watch (about 100 million).
