Not at the table Karlos

He’s been small since drafted. He’s had two years

Dropping a bunch of fat and gaining strength doesn’t improve athletic ability? Why do athletes do exactly that every year before the combine to improve their scores? Watch Epenesa in college and in the pros. Completely different. His get off is a lot faster, he’s not as stiff. Landon looks pretty stiff as well in college. Also never said it would up his score from a 4 to a 9 I said it would be closer.

I’m not disagreeing with you but Epenesa has also completley transformed his body from a power rusher to more of a speed rusher. Epenesa did all of his drills at like 280lbs. Jackson plays at 280-290 but dropped weight for the combine to time better. I feel if Epenesa did his drills at his current weight his RAS would be closer.

Most of those UFAs are gonna be gone.

I think it’s more Reid knows McDermotts tendencies and knows how to exploit them.

I’ve seen 1yr up to $5m

While I agree with most of this. It’s not what the conversation was about that Beane was listening and reacting to. But they weren’t surprised at the first few rounds. They were fine with that. What they were talking about was moving up in the later rounds to get one. I’m guessing they were talking about Royals or Horton.

No. Nobody said they had to pick one. Beane overreacted to listening to only a small part of the show before going on. Nobody said they absolutely had to draft a receiver at ____ spot. Just that they were surprised one wasn’t drafted until the 7th after doing all the pre draft stuff and saying they needed more speed. wtf

They just said it was odd that they spent that many resources pre draft looking at receivers then didn’t make a move for one. Beane also said in the same interview they waited on doing anything with Moore until after the draft incase they took one in first two rounds. So Beane admitted they were looking at receivers then goes off on the hosts for saying exactly what Beane did. Beane heard a small bit of what they were saying and overreacted. Pretty much everyone was surprised they didn’t take a receiver earlier with how much time they spent on them. Beane then acted like they’re set at receiver. Later contradicting himself saying they’re bringing Moore in for a visit and they held it off incase they drafted a receiver early. So why is it so crazy to think they’d draft a receiver with all of their actions?

They’re not wrong and Beane pretty much admitted it in the same interview. If Stephen A is siding with you, you may need to take another look at your take.

Too slow. Pass /

If he was throwing rainbows and they were getting blown off track you may be on to something but he’s not. He throws them low and hard. It’s very hard to be accurate on go routes the way he throws them. Even if he is accurate it’s tough to track and catch for the receiver because the ball is coming low and fast behind your head. If it’s not perfectly accurate it’s sailing over their head. He also has the problem on the road and in domes. So it’s not the wind.

Definitely a possibility

He needed surgery on his wrist and decided to try and play through it.

Strong is a great pick
