  1. So, does Josh Rosen now become a fish? I would like that, somehow.
  2. Oooh, I had plans! I'm unemployed (happily so-- it won't last), and had a barstool all staked out at my local bar. There's a bunch of barflies there, who don't care about football, and they were going to give me the center stool in front of the TV, at which point Cindy (the bartender) was going to change the channel to the draft. Now, my eight-year-old son has a high grade fever, my wife has to go to a meeting, and the 12-year-old, responsible though she may be, can't really be saddled with a sick, vomiting, diarrhea-ing, fever-addled boy. Damn.
  3. And which QB would be ranked in the top 9? Not as bad as projecting Bosa at #8.
  4. I think you're vastly under-rating Murray. Truly, the guy has a stellar bio. Associated Press All-American and Player of the Year, Davey O'Brien Award winner, Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, to name a few. He passed for over 4,000 yards, and rushed for over 1,000. And, your biggest knock on him seems to be that if the Cards draft him, he will be playing in a system that best suits him. And, at Oklahoma, he played behind, and then took over for Baker Mayfield, who played in the same system, and seems to be doing fine.
  5. Man, all the draft speculation, and hand-wringing is so much more complicated this year! Nice going, Beane!!!
  6. That's true. But, there's about a half dozen pass rushers ranked in the top 50, and about a dozen total defensive linemen. I think there are a few guys who could move ahead of him on a lot of draft boards. And guys fall in the draft due to injury every year.
  7. Rashan Gary, meet the second round. Second round, Rashan Gary...
  8. Rocky Landing is nonplussed by your third-person narrative.
  9. There are lots of people we could dog-pile on from the last two decades. Whaley, his obvious faults notwithstanding, should not be one of them.
  10. How could you be hung up on the Orton/Raiders debacle when the Peterman/Chargers debacle happened since then?
  11. Rocky Landing's real draft.
  12. Hard to tell how big this thing is without something next to it for scale. I once had an accumulation of oak leaves on my roof, and tarantulas started breeding in them. Then one came in through the upstairs bathroom window. I've always been sure to keep the roof clear since then.
  13. Sorry. Low hanging fruit, so to speak...
  14. That’s what Kraft said.
  15. I'm looking forward to all the ?, ?️, and * games. I think this is the year Brady* declines, the Jets will have growing pains with a new coaching staff, and the Fish are a train wreck. This is the year we could take the division. (And by "could," I mean that it is possible. Maybe not likely, or certainly not very likely, or perhaps it's just in the moderately unlikely to reasonably plausible range. If everybody's cool with that...)
  16. I think Beane has actually been pretty clear on what he considers BPA-- he mentioned it in a recent interview, and at today's presser. BPA means best player available that fits the team, and players that don't fit the scheme do not rank as high on their board as players that do. It would be fascinating to me to see all of the different team's boards, and how they compare to each other. The word "best" is truly subjective. But, I take Beane at his word that he will draft on what he considers BPA, and not pass on someone who would be a better potential long-term Bill in order to fill a short-term need. At least, that is how I have interpreted his stated philosophy.
  17. Are any of those guys under the radar?
  18. Patriots* trade up for a QB— Haskins, or Murray (should Ari pass on him).
  19. The title of the thread is "bold draft day predictions," not "delusional draft day predictions."
