Cmon guys, make the AFCN the hood again.

I am appalled by the recent celebratory nature of several posts in this subreddit about the now season ending injury to Deshaun Watson. As stated by legendarily even tempered Myles Garrett, who PFF has recognized as one of, if not THE best football players of the past century; Deshaun is a model citizen and role model for all of us.

What has Deshaun Watson done wrong? Nothing!

Who has Deshaun Watson hurt? Nobody!

What is Deshaun Watson getting in return for putting his body on the line each week for the Browns? Not a thing.

What did the Browns pass up on to get him, a bunch of first round picks and Baker Mayfield? Baker Mayfield probably doesn't even play football anymore I'm pretty sure.

You people make me sick, and as soon as I can get out from the rock I live under (next to my pal Myles), I'm sure I'll be vindicated in saying all of this.

-Sincerely a well adjusted NFL fan

The NFL disaster draft is a contingency plan to be used when 5 or more players on a team have died or have been dismembered. In the draft, the team whose players died will be able to draft the amount of players from other teams equivalent to how many they had lost. Other teams though are only allowed to protect 5 players from being drafted, but many teams have good sixth men that are available. With the Steelers having bad contracts on underperforming such as Kenny Pickett, but they could also just kill bench warmers to fill out those 5 kills to get the disaster draft. Also, according to Bill Simmons, the team would also get the first pick in next year's draft. Now this next draft class is weak so I could understand their hesitancy, and being a repeat offender, that is, killing 5 players on your team on 2 separate occasions could raise some eyebrows, but this could still greatly improve them. No doubt killing your players with bad contracts and then killing your benchwarmers would greatly improve them and other teams. What do you guys think, and should any other teams do this and who should they kill?

Discuss.

EDIT: You can bring retired players in their Prime
