So a little post-draft fun as we enter the 1st days/weeks of the doldrums of summer before real football is back.
The gang at the Athletic picked their All-NFL draft teams.
Both TEXAS and Da Boys did well.

WR: Xavier Worthy, Kansas City Chiefs (Round 1, No. 28)
Rather than just pop in the three best receivers (Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze are tied for second behind Harrison), this is where fit comes in. Worthy’s unreal speed combined with Patrick Mahomes’ willingness to attack downfield can make the rookie WR a freakish weapon in Year 1. Yeah, Worthy is thin, but it’s not like safeties can blow up receivers across the middle anymore — especially if they can’t catch them.DT: Byron Murphy II, Seattle Seahawks (Round 1, No. 16)
The rush on quarterbacks (and offensive tackles) did a number on the defensive board this year. And though it was hardly a deep defensive class, it was very good at the top — including Murphy, who had some top-10 buzz from a few evaluators. He was easily the top defensive tackle in this class, in terms of versatility and general destruction. He can wear multiple hats, push the pocket immediately and probably play a lot of snaps as a young anchor for new Seattle coach Mike Macdonald.Double bonus in my house is the wifey from Washington state and a big SeaBags fan
