| Getting the popcorn ready. | |
| Titans | I might burn things if we don't draft Gregory at 33 |
| by twotoneblues on May 1, 2015 | 5:28 PM | |
| Titans | Start burning |
| by Deaconbrodie on May 1, 2015 | 7:18 PM | |
| Chargers | So.... did we all take our chill pills? |
| by dethlok50 on May 1, 2015 | 6:11 PM | |
| Vikings | Let's hope the Bears don't take Randy Gregory |
| by survivor4life on May 1, 2015 | 6:16 PM | |
| Colts | I'd take Gregory and not look back in the second. |
| by strandedincarolina on May 1, 2015 | 6:37 PM | |
| Colts | I'd take Gregory, run across the stage yelling "SUUUUUCKAAAAAAAAS" and blow raspberries to every other team in the NFL……and not look back. Ever. |
| by Sir Sci on May 1, 2015 | 6:55 PM | |
| Bears | If the Bears think Randy Gregory is sincere about focusing on football how could they not take him? |
| by beardown360 on May 1, 2015 | 6:56 PM | |
| The Titans are on the clock with the 1st pick of the second round. | |
| Texans |
Gregory going nuts: "I didn’t sleep last night because I feel like I let my family and the people who believe in me down, and I’m sorry for that. But I’m going to use this as fuel. The franchise that drafts me won’t have to worry about me off the field, but the teams that didn’t select me will have to worry about me on the field." Lets draft this psycho and unleash him on the AFC South. |
| by Buckko on May 1, 2015 | 7:03 PM | |
| Panthers | Giants better not take Gregory! |
| by Steve O on May 1, 2015 | 7:07 PM | |
| Eagles | Giants will probably take Collins or Gregory. Either way it kills me because that is great value. |
| by Ajsoccer47 on May 1, 2015 | 7:08 PM | |
| Patriots | Really hope the Jets don't get Gregory |
| by dbqp on May 1, 2015 | 7:09 PM | |
| Patriots | I'm so pleased by the consistent booing directed at Goodell! |
| by LWood1213 on May 1, 2015 | 7:11 PM | |
| Bears | I think if Gregory is there that he will be the pick |
| by Dils on May 1, 2015 | 7:12 PM | |
| Bears | Gregory would be the steal of the draft |
| by beardown360 on May 1, 2015 | 7:13 PM | |
| Bears | I kind of hope Randy Gregory is there when we pick |
| by PJDaBullsfan on May 1, 2015 | 7:13 PM | |
| Texans |
"He will stroke you if you come across the middle of the field." - Daniel Jeremiah. Uh….gross. I don’t know if that’s legal in football. |
| by Genghis352 on May 1, 2015 | 7:15 PM | |
| 49ers | If the Raiders get Gregory their pass rush will be NASTY |
| by hauldog on May 1, 2015 | 7:18 PM | |
| Falcons | If I were any of these teams that could use a pass rusher, I'm taking Gregory. |
| by crappybassist96 on May 1, 2015 | 7:22 PM | |
| Raiders | I can't say Ogdiswihuswa. Draft Gregory!!!!! |
| by bottom wind on May 1, 2015 | 7:23 PM | |
| Falcons | What happened that made people decide to go back to investing in running backs? That the Cowboys were good…and then let the running champ go because it was about the line? |
| by crappybassist96 on May 1, 2015 | 7:27 PM | |
| Giants | If they could get Gregory in the 3rd. Two first round players is good. Three would be……..unbelievable. |
| by geekadjacent on May 1, 2015 | 7:27 PM | |
| Vikings | Gregory could stop at the Vikings and I would be ecstatic |
| by MarkSP18 on May 1, 2015 | 7:29 PM | |

| by guy incognito on May 1, 2015 | 7:35 PM | |
| Redskins | Gregory could be a steal…. |
| by capdog on May 1, 2015 | 7:37 PM | |
| Chiefs | I'm really looking forward to the Chiefs pick. I can't wait to see what commercials they'll run during our pick |
| by Sudden on May 1, 2015 | 7:38 PM | |

| by FalconFinatic on May 1, 2015 | 7:40 PM | |
| Cardinals | I bet Gregory falls to the 'Boys at 27 and they take him. |

| Falcons | Carolina is jumping us for Randy Gregory? |
| by Helmut1969 on May 1, 2015 | 7:56 PM | |
| Bengals | Gregory is pissed. Some team is going to get an angry young man. |
| by txbengal29 on May 1, 2015 | 8:01 PM | |
| Vikings | I want Gregory, IF he pans out that's basically 2 first round picks. |
| by DJBarbecue on May 1, 2015 | 8:02 PM | |
| 49ers | I'm jumping on the Gregory bandwagon |
| by californianotter on May 1, 2015 | 8:02 PM | |
| 6. Redkins (P. Smith), 7. Bears (E. Goldman), 8. Titans (DGB), 9. Panthers (D. Funchess), 10. Falcons (J. Collins) pass on Randy Gregory |
|
| 49ers | Is Gregory going to be this year's Burfict? |
| by Jeff P. on May 1, 2015 | 8:08 PM | |
| Texans | Ok now all we need is a trade up for Gregory and our defense will be SET |
| by H&Hguy on May 1, 2015 | 8:08 PM | |
| 49ers | Keep the Gregory dream alive! |
| by californianotter on May 1, 2015 | 8:15 PM | |
| Raiders | Gregory needs more felonies before the 49ers will consider him |
| by worldblee on May 1, 2015 | 8:16 PM | |
| Falcons | Am I the only one who actually is feeling sad for Gregory? He had to have done really bad to be done like this. |
| by mista0581 on May 1, 2015 | 8:18 PM | |
| Falcons | I'd love to cheer him up by picking him in the third |
| by FreeCandyVan on May 1, 2015 | 8:19 PM | |
| 11. Texans (B . McKinney), 12. Saints (H. Kikaha), 13. Vikings (E. Kendricks), 14. 49ers (J. Tartt), 15. Eagles (E. Rowe) pass on Randy Gregory |
|
| Steelers | Randy Gregory please. |
| by peach tea snapple on May 1, 2015 | 8:25 PM | |
| Lions | Holy awkward transition. Trashed Gregory then right to an interview with him. |
| by Sean Yuille on May 1, 2015 | 8:28 PM | |
| Packers | If Gregory falls to us, should we draft him? |
| by eddy.rodgerskubrick on May 1, 2015 | 8:29 PM | |
| Bears | Gregory wont get past Jerry |
| by GuyonCouch on May 1, 2015 | 8:30 PM | |
| Steelers | I still think we should take Gregory if he is there. Potential is too great. |
| by hooligan20112 on May 1, 2015 | 8:30 PM | |
| Texans | Gregory is a steal in the second round. Let´s be honest. |
| by Credo MM on May 1, 2015 | 8:30 PM | |
| Eagles | We are SO winning the Rose Bowl this year!!!!!!!!! |
| by Nazgul35 on May 1, 2015 | 8:31 PM | |
| Panthers | I heard those rumours about Gregory having some kind of mental issues. Or whatever they were insinuating. But he gives a good interview, and seemed pretty genuine. I hope someone picks him and he proves a bunch of people wrong. |
| by jojoisthemann on May 1, 2015 | 8:31 PM | |
| Cardinals | I'd have to go Gregory if he is there, at this point. He is a bit of an anomaly but he is the pass rusher the Cardinals need and the talent is undeniable. 2nd round makes it safe. |
| by Cmcinaz on May 1, 2015 | 8:32 PM | |
| Bucs | Gregory will get picked up soon. Pats or Seahawks |
| by shadowchicken on May 1, 2015 | 8:34 PM | |
| Eagles | I'm calling it, Randy Gregory to the Seahawks |
| by Hulk Hogan Wasn't Mr.America on May 1, 2015 | 8:35 PM | |
| Colts | Give me Gregory or give me death |
| by MillerTime31 on May 1, 2015 | 8:35 PM | |
| Panthers | Could Gregory be our Hardy 2.0? I don't even care about the rest of the draft if we can get Gregory. |
| by Steve O on May 1, 2015 | 8:37 PM | |
| Chiefs |
It really pisses me off that everyone thinks they know draft position better than experts. "He would have been available in the 7th!" Shut up. You’re dumb. |
| by Vince D on May 1, 2015 | 8:39 PM | |
| Bears | I'm really starting to think Gregory slips to the 3rd round...talk about a fall. |
| by Erik Christopher Duerrwaechter on May 1, 2015 | 8:44 PM | |
| 16. Chargers (D. Perryman), 17. Chiefs (M. Morse), 18. Bills (R. Darby), 19. Browns (N. Orchard), 20. Dolphins (J. Phillips) pass on Randy Gregory |
|
| Giants | Really hope we take Gregory if he's there |
| by King Henry the 2nd on May 1, 2015 | 8:45 PM | |
| Cardinals | I'd be pumped if we drafted Gregory. I’d also be pumped if we passed on Gregory. Can’t go wrong! |
| by AlaskanCard on May 1, 2015 | 8:47 PM | |
| Colts | Come on Gregory...fall to us |
| by Mitchel1055 on May 1, 2015 | 8:47 PM | |
| Steelers | Ravens are going to "steal" Gregory |
| by Allen F on May 1, 2015 | 8:51 PM | |
| Redskins | Bengals who only had 20 sacks last year dont take Gregory. Wow |
| by fusfus10 on May 1, 2015 | 8:52 PM | |
| Giants | Someone's gonna grab Randy Gregory before the third, hope it’s not Dallas |
| by rEaS54 on May 1, 2015 | 8:57 PM | |
| Giants | Alright, who's gonna be the team to crush the Randy Gregory dream |
| by NYGetz on May 1, 2015 | 8:57 PM | |
| Bucs | I'm hoping for Gregory. |
| by dannythegreat on May 1, 2015 | 8:59 PM | |
| Falcons | Any chance Pitt takes Gregory? Coming away with both he and Dupree would be a crazy haul |
| by qthaballa on May 1, 2015 | 8:59 PM | |
| 21. Bengals (J. Fisher), 22. Lions (A. Abdullah), 23. Ravens (M. Williams), 24. Steelers (S. Golson), 25. Rams (R. Havenstein) pass on Randy Gregory |
|
| High fives, applause, and handshakes in the Cowboys war room. | |
| Steelers | We need a corner! We need a corner! Not THAT corner...whaaaaa…Fire Tomlin! Fire Colbert! Fire everyone! |
| by madcatwb on May 1, 2015 | 9:08 PM | |
| Bengals | AWESOME DRAFT. We got TWO Left Tackles in the first 2 rounds!!! Heck yeah!!! With Whit and these 2 guys, we’re going to be the first team with a Left Tackle, a Left-Left Tackle, and a Left-Left-Left Tackle |
| by ephram on May 1, 2015 | 9:09 PM | |
| Rod Marinelli is on the phone with a player. | |
| Redskins | Jerry Jones has locked his son in the closet and is racing to Goodell with the Randy Gregory card |
| by iOrakpo on May 1, 2015 | 9:13 PM | |
| Bears | Jerry Jones will take Gregory here. I suppose Hot Rod wouldn’t be a bad guy for him to be coached by |
| by Sam Householder on May 1, 2015 | 9:14 PM | |
| Giants | Ugh please dont be Gregory |
| by Pierre-Paul & Marry on May 1, 2015 | 9:14 PM | |
| Lions | **** that Cowboys fan and his "It was a catch" sign. |
| by mcivor on May 1, 2015 | 9:14 PM | |
| 26. Cardinals (M. Golden), 27. Broncos (T. Sambrailo) pass on Randy Gregory |
|
| With the 28th pick in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select Randy Gregory. | |
| Bears | Whoa, Dallas just made the pick of the night. |
| by Erik Christopher Duerrwaechter on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Giants | Well, crap. This is gonna be really bad |
| by Begiant on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Vikings | Gregory to the Boys...Wow…glad the Vikes don’t play the Cowboys this year. |
| by survivor4life on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Giants | Now I have to hope he's a bust |
| by wilddre22 on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Giants | gahhhhhhhh |
| by winitheju on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Seahawks | That's a heck of a pass rush if they ever get on the field together. |
| by Ben R. Peterson on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Steelers | And there goes Gregory. Immense value at 60. |
| by Vitosi4ek1 on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Colts | A curse on them Cowboys! |
| by It's Magc on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Colts | Dallas got a steal. |
| by MooseBooze on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Jets | Dammit, he's gonna be a terror there |
| by DuckSpurs on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Patriots | Nice pick for Dallas |
| by dbqp on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Chiefs | That's a steal for the Cowboys. |
| by AnkenyChiefsFan on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Packers | That's an interesting but maybe best fit for Gregory |
| by Hawaii Pack Attack on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Lions |
Found a picture of the Cowboys defensive line
|
| by mdruh12 on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Panthers | Wow, HARDY AND GREGORY |
| by FF Companion on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Jets | Wow, if they can keep their boys in check, the Cowboys have made a great improvement on defense. They could go far this year |
| by SenorAmazing on May 1, 2015 | 9:15 PM | |
| Packers | Cowboys could be scary. |
| by demigod1987 on May 1, 2015 | 9:16 PM | |
| Falcons | A STEAL for the darn Cowboys. Ugh. |
| by Trey Day on May 1, 2015 | 9:16 PM | |
| Giants | May he be 90 minutes late to every Giant game |
| by Fester McDougal on May 1, 2015 | 9:16 PM | |
| Jets | Hope he goes bananas against the goody two-shoes Giants. |
| by Crackback on May 1, 2015 | 9:16 PM | |
| 49ers | Cowboys got a steal there if all those mental issues are baloney, they just got a top 10 guy in the 2nd round. |
| by Emeritus on May 1, 2015 | 9:16 PM | |
| Texans | Well, as much as I would have cheered for Gregory to succeed here, I will have to do that much or more in the opposite direction now that he is a Cowboy. Not that I wish him a bad life or anything….I just don’t want good things to happen in Southern Oklahoma. |
| by Genghis352 on May 1, 2015 | 9:16 PM | |
| Jets | I bet that was the most expensive joint you ever smoked, Randy. |
| by Jeff Parks on May 1, 2015 | 9:16 PM | |
| Jets | Good pick for the Cowboys D overall - #AtLeastHeDidntGoToThePats |
| by MachlinT on May 1, 2015 | 9:16 PM | |
| Eagles | Eh, they are instantly better on D now with Gregory and Jones. |
| by RandysGut on May 1, 2015 | 9:17 PM | |
| Giants | Damn the Cowboys are lucky. |
| by Simms85 on May 1, 2015 | 9:17 PM | |
| 49ers | Greg Hardy and Randy Gregory are a dangerous combination |
| by TheFreakSF on May 1, 2015 | 9:17 PM | |
| Redskins | Everything you said about Randy Gregory, I expect it to be 10X worse now that he’s a Cowboy |
| by HogHunter on May 1, 2015 | 9:17 PM | |
| Vikings | Great, another reason for news networks to gush about the Cowboys |
| by Typically Lazy on May 1, 2015 | 9:18 PM | |
| Chiefs | The chick doing the social media on NFL Live is annoying. |
| by ForeverRanger91 on May 1, 2015 | 9:18 PM | |
| Bengals | I think Chip Kelly has taken control of our draft room because this is insane. I am pretty sure Gary Busey would do a better job selecting |
| by BigBengalBoner on May 1, 2015 | 9:18 PM | |
| Bengals | I woulda been completely ok with Gregory in the Second |
| by MetalicDrummer on May 1, 2015 | 9:21 PM | |
| Redskins | Yeah I don't think that is a good thing for us. Could be a home run pick. Could be a strikeout too, but it’s a scary proposition and I think the former is more likely. |
| by James Dorsett on May 1, 2015 | 9:22 PM | |
| Redskins | This truly has all of the hallmarks of a Jerry Jones’ conspiracy which he’s been paying Gregory under the table to not show up for meetings, coming to the combine @ 198lbs and sickly, and flooding the zone that he’s on lithium for a hybrid chronic disease of schizophrenia / bipolar / OCD mania. |
| by FromRagsToRiggins on May 1, 2015 | 9:23 PM | |
| Texans | I hope he becomes a great pass-rusher who cleans up his act and gets a big contract that he spends responsibly, but maddeningly cannot produce against the Texans |
| by bhsman on May 1, 2015 | 9:23 PM | |
| Steelers | Steelers will regret passing Randy Gregory twice! |
| by greensburgsteeler on May 1, 2015 | 9:33 PM | |
| Lions | In my heart of hearts based on need and potential I secretly coveted Randy Gregory |
