Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images | Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Live from Delaware, it’s Saturday Night! I, NAS204PSU, am here to bring you this Saturday Night Open Thread (aka SNOT). It’s over, but after so many rounds of drafts my head is spinning. Now it’s the mad dash to court the best of the rest and sign some UDFA. This 6 pack of questions is here to get the conversation going below, also let us know what you’re eating/drinking!

From the BTSC RD1 Open thread: What was your favorite comment of the Steelers 1st round pick of Max Iheanachor OT? Here’s some candidates (but write ins welcomed)

**Multiple users**: “Who???”
**Full Tilt Boogie**: “Hoping the refresh showed a different selection. Oh well.”
**Steelerfanstuckincincy**: “Yay another raw tackle prospect. This is Broderick Jones 2.0”
**ForWhomKordellTrolls**: “F this pick. Fredo and Omar are amateurs.”
**Jdrau**: “At least they didn’t trade up for him” 2. Same question for RD2 WR Germie Bernard:
**JV2K13**: “There it is, now go get Pregnon too”
**KDSteel**: “Not sure we will miss Lemon with this guy. If Max turns out to be solid, this is a great foundation to bring any QB into.”
**Aliquippa Quip**: “I know everyone wanted Lemon including the brass, along with myself. But I always felt he has some screws missing upstairs. I wanna say we dodged a bullet he seems like a headcase.”
