What about at 5'10 1/8? Some people here (in other threads I think) were saying he was 5'7". Knew that was laughable. This guy is going #1 overall. I'm telling ya.

Curious, how did this guys work on analytics work out for the Dolphins? Seems to me the Dolphins have been pretty crappy since 2015. There is a difference between understanding / creating analytics and actually applying them effectively to an organization.

Drafting for need has one major issue in my opinion. A team could potentially take a player way too early by drafting for need and not optimize the picks value. The best case scenario would be to trade back and acquire more assets while still filling the position of need after the trade down. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work like that. You never know when someone is going to take them and you don't always have an acceptable trade offer to get you to that spot. If I'm a GM, I'm rating all my players 0-100 scale. I'm doing the same with all the prospects. If I'm replacing someone I rate as a 60 (looking at you Oline), with someone I have rated as an 85 (gain of 25 points), I'm doing that over improving my safety position from a 85 to a 90. So, I'm taking the 85 rated OLine instead of the BPA, a 90 S since I already have two pretty good ones. It's not all cut and dry though. It depends on how big the gap is, what the contract status is of current players (more likely to draft replacements on expiring contracts or cut candidates), and the relative importance of the position. I don't think there is any organization that simply selects BPA or position of need. Its all fluid based on the situation.

Me neither. And I just did. It's good, damn good. I can see why it's Hunter's favorite ever. Fits his personality perfectly. Herbie Mann also has the creepiest album cover of all time for Push Push. The song Push Push features a pretty well known guitarist that died way too young, Duane Allman. It's a fun little jam.

Didn't read the facts of the case to know there was that set limit. Agree completely that 10x that statutory limit is excessive. Legislature needs to raise that number.

Kind of surprised this wasn't settled law already, seems like a no brainer that would have been challenged in the past. Not sure I actually agree with this particular case, though. One could argue that $400 worth of heroin is plenty enough to cause someones death, especially if laced with anything. $40k is not an excessive fine with that in mind. Want to stop heroin / meth and other hard drugs? Make the penalties harsh. After all, being a bad behavior deterrent is one of the main reasons for a legal system in the first place. Agree with the SC ruling, disagree that this case was excessive.

Mostly rarity. You get to a certain point with bourbon (and any alcohol really) where the quality levels off and they are all really damn good. But what makes things like this crazy expensive is how small the available quantities are. This distillery was bought by Buffalo Trace some years back in order to handle more production. It will be interesting to see what the prices will be after those barrels have aged and are ready for sale.

Arby's Curly Q's are my go to. Dip them in the Polynesian sauce and you'll change your tune on the fries.

Watched a few Missouri games this year. He was underwhelming every single time. I don't see him being a successful top end QB at all.

Peyton Hillis

He bought ownership into the league with that $250M. Its not the amount used to pay for payroll. Its a cash infusion. Potentially missing payroll may have prompted the search for additional funding, but it has nothing to do with what that figure of $250M represents. Its just the number they negotiated for whatever % ownership in the league he gets.

I was all for Brown with our pick in the first....until now. He was projected to run high 4.2 to low 4.3 as well. Certain things you don't mess with....feet, hamstrings, groin. Those always seem to lead to repeat injuries down the road. Not even considering him before the 3rd anymore.

There is a cow mutation that makes super muscular cows. They are called "double-muscled cattle." Not sure if bodacious had it or not. Typically when they have it, the muscles are so big and cumbersome that they cannot move around very well. He obviously could. So maybe he had a less severe version of it or something.

I think he goes #1 overall. He is much better, IMO, than any other QB prospect in this years draft. Smaller QBs having so much success recently will help a lot. Some team will become enamored with him and trade up to #1 to take him and rightfully so in my mind, unless he's like 5'6" or something or the Cardinals fall in love with someone like Bosa and don't think they can get him where they can trade down.

Seriously, in what world is 52.3% completion, 9.2% INT rate, 3 TD, 12 INT, 4.2 Yards per Attempt and a 32.5 rating over 130 passes better than 58.3% COMP% / 2.7% INT% / 19TD / 15INT / 6.4YPA 77.5 over 547? I don't care if he is throwing it like 50 Cent throwing out a first pitch, he's still better than Peterman.

There is absolutely zero reason whatsoever why this should impact their desire / need to draft a QB early....well, except for Elway's ego thinking he can get by with such a bad QB because he is just so much smarter than everyone (in his mind at least). Are you really comparing Peyton and Flacco? Please tell me this is sarcasm and i just missed it.

....So....he just gets to keep $201k for stiffing the A's? That is some B.S.

Now just imagine adding a straight burner / agility guy like Hollywood Brown in the draft. That would be a well balanced top 4 going into the season IMO.

Good to hear. Haven't really paid attention to him since he left Auburn, but I can certainly remember him dominating some of those Auburn games I watched. He ALWAYS stood out in every game it seemed.

All the talent in the world. Can he keep it together mentally though? That is his issue.

I've been on the Hollywood train since I watched him vs. Texas. With today's game and how you can hardly touch a WR off the line, I think he projects well to be a successful, high draft pick in the league. If we could trade down to the mid/late teens, I would highly consider him if he's there.

It's a protected 1st though. That's why they should be tanking. It's the last time they have potential to get a high pick for a while IMO. I disagree. I think a play making PG with good passing skills and excellent play making / driving skills would be a great fit to open up things for both Doncic and Porzingis.

Mavs should be tanking this season to the best PG in the draft to pair with them. Ja Morant.

This is not quite true. Jordan came back the year before his second three peat during the middle of the season and they lost in the playoffs with him that year. Granted, he wasn't quite himself yet, but it was technically 6 in 7 years.

Fantastic analogy. Love it.
