He can play as a defensive end too.

Yes. Leslie is a good coach though. He'd be a good hire for Miami. And their personnel is pretty transferrable for the most part.

Yea I like him. Testing will be big for where he lands.

Yea Mitchell is good. And he has arguably the best hands in the class. He just leaves me a bit cold. I think he is really solid. But not sure I see the ceiling of some of the other guys. The one year point on Legette is totally fair.

There is something to #1. I think he can definitely improve his release against press. Honestly I don't see #2 at all personally.

I did consider Bullard as well. He would be a legitimate choice there. I disagre with you on the receivers but I accept I am probably higher on Legette than the consensus. I think he is a stud. My issue with Mitchell is I don't see much pop. He is a bit one paced for my liking. Great hands but certainly as a Bills fit we need explosion. 1. He is already off the board here. 2. He isn't completely the same type. Thomas is strictly a vertical receiver. Legette can do that but has more wiggle IMO to be involved in the short and intermediate game.

Nah I started watching the NFL in 2002 and watching it really religiously from 2007. Matt Schaub was a game manager (to believe otherwise you have to believe he fell off a cliff at 31 once the influence of Shanhan and Kubiak was removed) Jimmy G was a game manager. They were both made to look better by the system. Matt Ryan was a very good Quarterback. A top 10 guy. But he was made to look elite in that system and he was not elite. I think Brock is a good Quarterback. He has proven he can play in the NFL. But he is on a really good team with loads of talent and a scheme with a history of elevating Quarterbacks. And through the Green Bay game and the first half last night I was not particularly impressed. As I say I haven't seen the 2nd half.

Even if he does he doesn't play that fast. I watched 4 full games of us and dropped him after every game. Really came into it expecting to like him based on my tv exposure to Florida State in season too. One of the most disappointing tape evaluations.

It isn't what I want to happen so much as asking what makes sense with the board falling that way? There is no edge value left. The DTs that I think are second round value and a scheme fit are all gone. There isn't an offensive tackle I like enough.... Zach Frazier the center out of West Virginia was the other guy I considered but I am not sure they are spending a second round pick on a low value position when that guy isn't seeing the field as a rookie unless there are injuries. If somehow Morse were to shake free before the draft.... maybe then.

No we can't.

I think he separates plenty. I haven't heard that as the knock on him. If it is that is surprising to me. I don't see that on film.

I hold my hands up on him this year. He has completely changed my opinion. He has had a great year.

Yea absolutely. You don't have to be an exceptional scout to be a good general manager. The job is more than that. Yea I am not in love with the Bullock pick. But not sure where else I'd go given that board. And yes on Thomas. I do think he will run faster than 4.47.

I don't think he is a reach. He is my WR4. He seems to be going early 2nd in mocks I have seen but I know some have him going later and a few who have him earlier. Personally I think he will have a good week this week at the senior bowl, he will blow up the combine and he will be a first round pick. The questions on him are mainly - 1 year of production and why did it all click suddenly age 22 (old in college terms)? But the 2023 tape is excellent. If he backs that up in the process I think he goes day 1.

I saw the White Stripes at Blackpool Winter Gardens. One of the best live gigs I have ever been to. Aso for the people who don't think it is a classic... well I'm gonna fight 'em off, a seven nation army couldn't hold me back!

I feel a bit for Greg. I think he has got better each year he has been on the job. He was certainly an upgrade on Troy Aikman. But there was just always something about him that didn't seem to carry the gavitas of a big network #1 color guy. I have no idea how Brady will be. Greg should go to Prime and do the Thursday Night gig. Because my word Kirb is unlistenable.

It is why losing Bernard was so big. He has been the downhill guy in our defense all year. One of the key differences between McDermott and Frazier is how aggressive they are in the use of linebackers to attack rather than react. And then when it came to the crunch Sean was starved of those linebackers.

100% agree with this. I am. Definitely. I mean he is better than Gabe, and faster than Gabe, and more explosive than Gabe. But he can basically run the same three routes as Gabe. I think that is fine if Diggs can get back to being Diggs. If you get a better version of Gabe Davis we have already seen that 1-2 punch can work - especially with Kincaid and Shakir developing in supporting roles. My worry is if Diggs can't get back to his best and your next guy is just a better version of Gabe.... they you are in trouble. Because I think you become predictable.

But how would that help in this scenario? Mahomes is playing in the tougher conference. He has another very good QB in his division that he plays twice. I'm not sure how making him play teams with worse Quarterbacks more often achieves more competitive balance?

How is it fair that the best team keeps winning? I mean that's sports. You live in the hope that one year they don't.

Carmichael is definitely a guy I'd hire. But I'm not sure as a QB coach. I'd hire him in a senior offensive assistant role. Sean Ryan is a guy I've liked for a while. The lustre has worn off a bit , he was a hot OC candidate for a few years but at the time when teams could still block a QB coach interviewing. He has E-P experience. He would be an interesting hire. And other than Rice those guys suck.

Every drought coach was worse than McDermott. Of course none of them had a QB but they were all less able coaches.

Took over a 7-9 team went 9-7. Two games better and with a worse roster.

No and no. What you get with all fanbases is the extremes who shout loudest on the internet.

Hang on, what is the argument here? If Mahomes was in the NFC - i.e. the weaker conference for opposing Quarterbacks - then your theory might support moving him to the AFC to face more competition. But how does moving the best Quarterback out of the stronger Quarterback conference and into the weaker one promote competition? If Mahomes was in the NFC he'd make the Superbowl every year with even less jeopardy.
