Ark lined up a lot in 3 man fronts (versus 5 or more OL). So forget the stats, watch the tape. I think this guy is special. Great pick.

This guy's receiving skills and traits are way more developed and better than were Shorter's. Decent (better) speed, good size, good hands, tracks the ball well, clean route runner who looks sudden out of his breaks, can be used to attack any part of the field. Hardly a premium prospect but not at all a throw away 7th rounder. I would not be surprised in a best case scenario if he wound up a solid WR 3 or 4 somewhere in this league. He could also be on the street of course. As with most draftees the question is whether he is able to manage the gap in talent and the more onerous demands between college ball and the pro game. Some highly touted prospects wind up only with high college ball ceilings. Some less coveted players adjust and continue to develop. If this guy can eventually do in the pros much of what he was able to do in college, if his positive traits are strong enough to make a difference against pro defenders, he will be fine.

There is something in the water in Pittsburgh. Makes wide receivers crazy. Absolutely love George Pickens’ skill set. Would not want him on the Bills.

If he ever gets in shape, is coachable and learns to lower his pad level he could be pretty good. There’s stuff there to work with.

Kamala is an empty suit, her campaign scuttled by required alignment with Biden’s policies, especially his administration’s foreign policy. Either that or she is simply completely devoid of substance. You would think that Americans would have better candidates to choose from. Suggests to me that the problem is with the political system which is therefore in need of reform. I can think of a dozen people i’ve worked with and for who would be better chief executives than either Kamala or Trump.

yes I remember a lead block he administered at the goal line on Drayton Florence when still a Charger (blocking for Marshawn I think). ‘Twas a thing of beauty. TJ is a good playmaker and rotational back. Would have liked Fred to have stayed at the top of his game longer, but when there he was elite or close to.

Move up for Golden in the first. If not a WR, move up for Grant.

So I guess coach would have opted for James Hardy instead of DeSean Jackson. Actually Hardy’s combine was pretty good for a 6’5”, 220 lbs wideout. Evaluations are not easy.

getting both McConkey and DeJean would have been a dream come true. McConkey may well already be legit as a # 1 and a lot better than Worthy imo. He certainly seems like Chargers # 1 in any event. No way we could have moved up 20 spots for DeJean in the second though. As for Coleman its early days. I remain hopeful that he will develop into an impactful player.

Milton Williams? 25 years old. 3yrs 36 bucks. Good year for DL draft and the Bills will probably take a couple, but usually takes a year or two before these guys transition. Williams young, good to go and coming off a breakout year.

Like father like son.

I thought they awarded scores all the time.

This is a resilient Washington team. I wouldn't write them off just yet. Daniels is a points machine. Stay tuned.

The technology is there to permit prompt reviews. I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories about biased refereeing. IMO the main problem is the difficulty of always making correct calls given the speed of the game, less than ideal views of the relevant action etc...I guess the League feels that it would open a can of worms. Should a booth review also correct obvious missed calls as well as erroneous ones? Maybe they feel that it would take the game entirely out of the refs hands. However no doubt the status quo ensures that poor refereeing may well have potentially disastrous consequences for the integrity of the product.

Awhile back McD mentioned that the Allen/Cooper chemistry was not yet there and was very much a work in progress. Looks like that hasn't changed. As for Cooper not gaining separation what good is he if he can't separate. Isn't that part of a #1's job description.
