  1. Now, this is what I'm talking about. I fell in love with him when I watched him. Despite the lack of pass game work he got in college, I think he's going to be a great 3rd down back. I don't like doing the whole "X is the new Y" thing but if someone asked me for the next Alvin Kamara in this RB class, it'd be Hill.
  2. Well, that instantly rules out 80% of this place
  3. Matt Darr should be fired out of a cannon. Careful there, Gregg. Treating punters like real players isn't that popular
  4. "Your 2019 Buffalo Bills - The Real McCoy's"
  5. How very dare you! Anna is a goddess.
  6. I'm partial to App State CB Clifton Duck.
  7. If that happens, please put up a live stream of your reaction. It'll be amazing.
  8. Happy 50th to the most overrated woman that's ever existed. I still would though.
  9. I did Nazi the lack of response to it coming. Also, that third picture. Those eyes have seen things, man. I would say crow's feet but we might need a bigger bird.
  10. Going back to 2013, I've nailed Dustin Hopkins, Cyrus Kouandjio, John Miller, Reggie Ragland, Matt Milano, Josh Allen, Harrison Phillips & Wyatt Teller. Maybe the team needs to stop listening to me
  11. Given that Bob Quinn is a Belichick disciple and that organisation has given more second chances than most, Kareem really must be a piece of work.
  12. This whole TJ Hockenson as a top 10 pick thing is some kind of weird way of apologising to George Kittle and Iowa for not ranking him higher, right? I finally got to give him a good looking at and I expected this amazing fireworks display. Instead, it was one man holding a sparkler in the rain. Not entirely sure he's even the best TE on the Iowa roster, let alone in the class. There's flashes in the passing game that help me see why some might be tempted by him. Occasionally, he'll sink his hips and really explode out of his break. Other times, he seems to just slowly power down and go through the motions. I think his blocking still needs some work but his best reps in the run game are already NFL standard. I appreciate the enthusiasm but charging head down at blocks in the NFL will go really badly (even worse than him getting ragdolled vs Mississippi St). I do have some doubts about his grip strength as well, teams really attack the ball when he's a runner and I assume that's not some kind of shared delusion. I'm very much against tight ends in the 1st round as a matter of principle but I'd make the exception for someone special. Hockenson ain't special.
  13. Lockett was a guy that I enjoyed more than I liked. I had him as a 3rd rounder. Worried about his size out on the boundary, figured he was a pure slot guy. Obviously, the KR/PR skills were added value and it's been no shock that he's been such a consistent ST weapon. If you can get a Day 2 WR that's going to give you 4 years of production like he has, you take that value all day. Also, thanks for making me look at my draft grades from that year. I pretty much whiffed on 8 of my top 10 WR's that year
  14. I hate to disappoint you but I think we have a philosophical difference on the mighty Deebo. I refuse to accept a WR with a RB body as a matter of principle. He's also not physical/nuanced enough to play outside in the NFL and his value is capped as a 'slot only' with ST upside. 4th round grade, sorry pal.
  15. I think that's a fair way to approach what is inherently a biased process. It's especially tough to articulate when you consider that most of the bias involved is probably unconscious, rather than conscious. I would absolutely put Patrick Willis in ahead of most of his peers despite only playing 8 seasons but you have to be careful with that. It has to be used sparingly to reflect the sheer brilliance of that particular short(ish) career. If you use it as some kind of test case to throw less dominant 8-year players in, it devalues the selection in itself. I doubt that I'll ever fully agree with every HOF induction class. I guess all I can do is argue passionately for the guys that I respect and for people that I deem as true trailblazers in the sport.
  16. I wouldn't make the argument that Muhsin deserves to be in the HOF. He was a very reliable statistical performer for a long period of time but only really had one dominant statistical season. It will be interesting to see how the selection committee looks at early retirement players like Calvin Johnson and Patrick Willis as they were relatively short-term NFLers in comparison to a lot of guys in Canton but were statistically dominant in the years they did play. Do you ping guys like Megatron for walking away from the game early? Do you reward a guy like Muhsin for being (relative to his Age 35 peers) relevant into his mid-30's?
  17. I was having this chat with @GoBills808 yesterday and the weirdest name that came up on the all-time list for me was Muhsin Muhammad. 31st overall in all-time receiving yards and the owner of the 13th best Age 35 season in NFL history. Stats, longevity would both get close to fitting the bill. If a guy like that doesn't get in, Welker and Edelman can bugger off.
  18. Sitting down to take a slash is the most liberating feeling known to man. I'm with Tom Brady on this one.
  19. For the first time in a few years, I've not really got a solid feeling about who's in play. The biggest weaknesses on the roster are offensive but it looks so much like a really strong defensive class, especially in the early picks. I've got to think that we'll see some kind of pass rusher. I think the early FA spending will start to narrow things down. FA to plug holes and what's left is the positions that the organisation value the most, fill those with home-grown talent.
  20. He was severely limited by the scheme that he played in, that much is true. He did predominently just run verts, slants, crossers but I think he's far more savvy than the limits placed upon him. Guys that can separate like he does on his in-breaking routes tend to have the natural gift for route running. It might take some time for the skill to fully develop but I like his chances.
  21. Provided that DeKaylin passes medicals, I think this is the right answer. It's an obvious one but there's logic to it. Going to blast away the Combine, he'll really show off in the route running drills.
  22. As a rather large fan of Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and a nice bit of ####, I feel like this is a call-out thread.
  23. Shouldn't the asterisk technically come after the team name, not before it? Yes, that's the thing I'm taking issue with here
