Here's a crazy statement: I would not trade Allen for Rodgers That's a lot of fun to say! that would be incredible to see!

It's incredible how badly they drafted in 2020. For a team that never signs free agents they need to hit on the draft.

I wonder sometimes about these teams... If you know you have a real issue with Rodgers AND you love your young QB so much, you'll never be able to cash in and get a boatload in return more than you will now. By digging in, the Packers lose. Rodgers can just retire.

that FG was such a wimpy move AND made no sense... Worst case scenario, you miss on 4th down, and Brady gets the ball inside his own 10, probably his own 5, and plays super conservative and you end up getting it back at midfield with another shot to win. As soon as that FG was kicked the refs calling a timely PI came into play, and that's exactly what happened.

I was thinking from Green Bay's perspective. This way they would have the #2 overall pick to take a safety for that defense!

Tebow has as many playoff wins as an NFL QB as Lamar Jackson It's not like he never did anything! Madden even included "Tebowing" that season! LOL

Jets would make more sense for Rodgers than Miami. Now, If I'm Jacksonville do I make a phone call?

I could see Rodgers just retiring and hosting Jeopardy He's got plenty of $$ and Green Bay just refuses to actually go for it all, preferring to halfway everything. Drafting Love was totally, completely stupid. If Love was a 3rd rounder or less, OK then MAYBE it makes sense. But for a team in the NFC, where there are only a few real contenders, to not use your high picks on playmakers to WIN something now is totally indefensible. The plan is to have Love for the QB "in a few years" and they use prime assets to get that guy in when they can't quite seem to get over the NFC Title Game hump? Drafting Love was guaranteed to anger Rodgers, plus they get nothing for that 1st round pick for years.

He'll never get the chance... As soon as things start going sideways he'll retire midseason due to "health concerns"

every time I see one of those E60 draft shows I want all the guys on there. Kwity Paye was the latest one. He would be perfect for our DL! Probably will be gone way before we could even move up, though.

The Packers seem to be determined to pretend that they aren't in a SB window. They don't really want to go for it.

age 37 isn't what it used to be. a QB playing at a top level at age 37 could easily have 5 more great seasons: 37 38 39 40 41 Maybe even another 1-2, depending on injuries and avacado smoothies.

I can see it being kind of delicate... "If we can't get any other option at QB, Jimmy, we're interested in bringing you back. Will you take a pay cut, BTW?" Every team always gets the guy they wanted all along, so this would probably have to wait until after the draft to make sense.

Packers said "no thanks, we are determined to waste the remainder of Rodgers career." Brady only had 3 SB rings at age 37. Josh might just be getting warmed up!

For what it's worth, Aaron Donald was part of a defense that basically shut Brady and the Patriots down in the Super Bowl. The score was 3-0 in the 4th quarter. Rams offense lost them that game. Rams almost won a Super Bowl because of their defense if Goff could make a play somewhere. Also, most forgettable/boring Super Bowl ever. It's ALWAYS great to have amazing players. As for the term "luxury pick" I've never liked it. That's Bengals type thinking. Existence is fine, winning a Super Bowl is a "luxury." The whole league is a "luxury" so go get great players and win titles!

He did just as good, if not better, than Brees with New Orleans when Brees was out for a handful of games. That's what got him the decent $$ in Carolina. I think he can still play at a decent level, but he doesn't scare me in the AFC.

I know close to nothing about college football, except that I love any DT that weighs 340+ pounds, but the more I hear about Etienne the more I like the idea.

If I'm the Bengals I draft the best offensive weapon available in round 1 and go OL in round 2. There will be a good OL where they pick in one of the first picks of the 2nd round. the Bengals need some spark. They just seem like a boring, outdated team.

The Bills could very well be sitting in a spot where a handful of really compelling players are there at 30. It could also make a trade easier. If the Bills want to get up to 21 or 22, and there are a ton of good players that slid due to a run on QBs early, another team might be willing to drop down a handful of spots because of that, especially if the Bills want a RB and they don't. Should be fun to watch!

Julio sealed a Super Bowl win over Brady and pretty much ended all hope of a comeback only to have Shanahan ***** it away.

If they are trying to move up maybe they are telling everyone it's for ETN so that some other team doesn't jump ahead of them in response

It seemed like Singletary went from "makes you miss in a phone booth" to just another guy really quickly. He was exciting and dynamic his first season here. Hopefully he can get back to that.

Jackson makes some insane plays, and it's fun to watch how the Ravens have totally tailored their offense to his skillset. There are so many ways to play football, so it's neat to see a team do something totally different and actually win doing it. The Ravens can 100% win a Super Bowl like this. They win a lot of games, and all it takes is the right mix of circumstances. If they can get a lead in a playoff game early and go with their brand of running the ball, great defense, and Lamar making things happen, they can beat anyone. When they get behind it doesn't work, but every team has its weakness. I would still rather have Allen at QB, and I expect to see him take the Bills to a Super Bowl, because top 5 QBs get there eventually.

It's true that all of these guys aren't banking Mahomes type money. But even random 5th and 6th rounders are doing pretty well. I went through and just looked at the 2020 draft list and did some quick research on a handful of random 5th and 6th round players. They all pretty much had 4 year, 3-4 million dollar contracts. Here's some detail on a random Colts LB taken last year in the 6th round: Jordan Glasgow. I have no idea who he is, but he was the 2nd to last player taken in round 6. His contract is 4 years, $3.4 million. Looking at the details, he got a $129,000 signing bonus, and if he plays this season will have made: $129,000 bonus $610,000 2020 salary $780,000 2021 salary TOTAL: 1,519,000 over 2 years Now, you're right, that's not all take home pay, and there's no guarantee he will play more than 2 seasons. There's no guarantee he'll even play this year. As Kyle Shanahan reminded us all recently, none of us are guaranteed anything, so that's a wash in terms of "fairness." But what IS true (assuming he is not released in 2021) is that in 2 years Glasgow will have earned just over $1.5 million dollars for running around on special teams, and he will have a free college degree and only be 25 years old, which is old for a guy who only played 2 years. The question was "is the draft fair?" I think you could argue that the draft was GOOD for Mr. Glasgow. By virtue of his draft position he was entitled to a slotted contract, determined by the league. He's on a very good team with good to great coaching. Judging by his stats (just a bunch of special teams snaps) I don't think teams would be knocking down his door to sign him if there wasn't a draft. But since the Colts had a 6th round pick they used it on a guy they have a vested interest in developing. If they do, he will get rich in his second contract. If not, he'll walk away with 1.5 million if they let him go after this season. If he sticks around 1 more year, he'll have pocketed over 2.2 million in just 3 years. And his earning days wouldn't just be over then. He would be a former NFL player with hundreds of thousands to a million dollars in the bank, decent health, youth, an education, and lots of contacts. Once you are an NFL player you are in an exclusive club. It opens doors. That is the "lower end of the draft" type player who only plays 2 seasons then his career ends. For comparison, since we're talking earnings, a potential classmate of his who does pretty well upon graduation and makes $50,000 in his/her first job would need to work at that job for 30 years to equal the income that Mr. Glasgow earned in 2 by willingly entering a league that has a draft in order to pursue a football career. So my answer is YES, the draft is fair for the players.

I'm into the big DTs who block out the sun, as well as any dreams teams have of running up the middle. Abandon all hope, all who wish to run through here. And if the big man gets to your QB... Let's just say it'll be a bad day at the office. Day 2 crush #1: Tedarrell Slaton, DT, Florida If it happens, I'll literally cry tears of joy as the big man poses with the red, white and blue! Day 2/3 crush #2: Tyler Shelvin, DT, LSU Day 2/3 crush #3: Quinton Bohanna, DT, Kentucky
