"Checks off all the boxes"...what? Does he work for FedEx? I don't recall hearing this one prior to this year but I'm already sick of it.
 
Even though a few have already taken, especially the "race up to the podium" crap, my list is never ending. I fuckin hate draft jargon with a passion.

Reach
Value
Steal
Smoke screen
Falling in love with...
Drooling over...
Potential (no shit all players have the potential)
I really like this kid
He would've been a 1st or 2nd rounder if....
Once in a generation/decade player
Taking a flyer on....
Adjusting board
Big board
Kick the tires
Project pick
Any time arm length is mentioned

And technically this isn't a phrase/lingo...but the arbitrary school grades SECONDS AFTER the fuckin pick is made.

Then post draft shit...

Raising eyebrows
Turning heads
Flying around the field (might have some other problems if this is the case)

Coachable. Tremendous upside. Plays bigger than he is. Shooting up draft boards. Mel Kiper. Tim McShay.

Something that makes me cringe is when someone suggests that Team X should "Race up to the podium with their draft card if player x is available"...as if they might not get that player if they take the normal pace.

What do you hate/are sick of hearing?

"Something that makes me cringe" and "team X"
 
"Can't miss"
There have been a lot of those that missed.
 
Only quasi-related, but I hate everyone feeling like they have to hug gooddell. Bunch of ass kissers, and I hate gooddell.

Agree on the sentiment but it's just something you gotta do and it would be even worse for the game if players started smiting him.
