lol, the NFLN crew is having none of the Indy Zoo ape shit. This is the second time I noticed someone mention this (the first was a Twitter post saying the ape was more helpful in drafting than Grigson was). I just don't actually know what you guys are talking about. For the picks in the 4th round, NFLN is sending it the cities who put something together. Houston had someone on the ISS, Raider had the governor of Nevada in front of the famous Vegas sign and so on. Well, Indy had their pick done at the Indy Zoo with the apes. One of the apes would hit a touch screen which would show the pick, only the apes weren't paying attention so the trainers had to banging on the glass to get them to do it. The crew at NFLN, specifically Mike Mayock, were just shitting all over it.

George Kittle sounds like as good of a pick as you can make in the 5th round. Interesting to take a TE a day after rumors came out they're shopping Vance McDonald (who is awful, and awful former GM Trent Baalke gave an extension to)

Other choices to highlight Indy would have been the canal (sans a drunk punter in it) or the Children's Museum (which is moderately impressive itself).

Please tell me that is his nickname. Surely no kid had parents that named him "Corn".

I'd call myself 'Cornelius The Elder' like I was in Roman times

At least the seem to talking more about the picks and not interviewing coaches/GMs who tell us that 'they had a great draft' and 'got several steals'

I've seen the orangutans a few weeks ago; they have a hard enough time focusing on them going into the rooms to be cleaned and examined. Won't be surprised if this becomes a meme.

Two things, beyond psyched that Washington got Samaje, love that kid. Second, someone is getting a stud steal with Amba Etta-Tawo, dude is a baller.

BREAKING: SuperBrowns fire GM Matt Millen and replace him with the Indy Zoo Orangutan. That ain't what the SuperBrowns represent. They'll replace him with GM Page.

Pats have taken their last pick of the day (barring training back in) and with that 4th and final pick they go down as the defending Super Bowl Champs with the fewest number of picks in the modern era
