Goat Talk

  Goat Talk’s 2021 NFL 1st Round Mock Draft  We are less than two days from the closest thing we get to a fantasy draft in sports, the NFL Draft. The day when NFL teams make life changing calls to young athletes. Some of these young athletes will be asked to take bigger roles than others. Some will be picked based on their certain skill package they offer. Some of these athletes have great talent but with talent comes great pressure. The higher you’re picked the more known you are. People will be expecting you to perform at a high level sooner rather than later. Yes someday we'll look back on this day talking about the missed picks, the players who slid, the busts, and the better than expected but either way we don’t know any of those right now. All we know is 254 young athletes will be picked and sorted between 32 teams to hopefully be the next face of their franchise. We also know us humans like making predictions on such events. That’s what we will do here. Howeve...

  Ranking The Projected 1st and 2nd Round Quarterbacks            The NFL Draft is nearly a week away which will be a life changing night for many players and franchises. Teams will be looking to find the player that’ll take their team to the next level. Some as a cornerstone for their next era others looking for that one player that could bring them a step closer to a Super Bowl. Some teams are drafting for the future others are drafting for the right now. These young players will watch their dreams come true. Others will have to wait longer than others. Couple players may be shocked how late they’re picked, others may be shocked at how early they were chosen. Either way we won’t have all the answers after the NFL Draft. We don’t know who will be the best pick, who’s the steal, who’s the bust. We won’t have these answers until 15-20 years from now when the last player in the 2021 draft class hangs up their cleats. Until then we onl...

  Who Should Jake Paul Fight Next?                On Saturday night we had two sporting events one being the UFC Fight Night and the other being the celebrity boxing fight between former Olympian/MMA fighter Ben Askren and Youtuber Jake Paul. Yes Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum put on a good fight on ESPN but it was the boxing fight that stole the show. Jake Paul went from YouTube famous to world famous in just a couple of fights. Paul followed older brother Logan Paul's footsteps by fighting a fellow Youtuber AnEsonGib. Paul won by TKO then immediately was looking for another celebrity to knock out. Step up former NBA star Nate Robinson. Paul has clearly been training because he doesn’t look terrible even in videos. Robinson didn’t take the fight seriously, probably thinking he’d out perform Paul because he’s a professional athlete and Paul was not. Robinson didn’t train. Paul knocked him out in the second ...

  The NBA’s Top 25 Under 25 Remix Yes we all heard or saw the article published by ESPN “NBA's best 25 under 25: Ranking young stars by future potential” if you didn’t good for you. The article is put together but multiple NBA insiders opinions on the future NBA talent at ESPN. Let’s just say most people didn’t agree with the insiders. Many didn’t agree in my opinion because they didn’t understand the purpose of the article. The purpose wasn’t to show who’s the best right now under 25 years of age. The point of the article was who has the most potential. Many were losing their minds over LaMelo Ball being over many highly talented players such as Jayson Tatum and Donovan Mitchell. Me being one of those people at first. Then the discovery of the article came to me. Still disagree with Tatum but the LaMelo Ball ranking third in the ESPN article made more sense. Nonetheless we have decided to make our list of the top 25 players in the NBA under 25. In what we call The Top 25 Under 25 ...
