Who are the "excellent" WRs? Landry is good for sure. Higgins is average. Callaway is hit or miss, but has potential. Perriman played well in spurts. Yet Mayfield set the rookie TD record playing 13.5 games. Manning and Wilson who held the record played all 16. On a team that went 1-31 the last 2 years.

I actually think it would be a great hire. Fitzgerald is young and has turned Northwestern from a basement dweller to a pretty decent program. They still have down years here and there, but the academic restrictions and history make it a tough sell for recruits.

Watch his "Mic'ed Up" thing from the Atlanta game, especially the Chubb long TD run and tell me he's a "me" guy. He can be a jerk to opposing teams, but his teammates love him. 200lbs Jarvis Landry was all over 285lbs Carlos Dunlap after a questionable hit on Mayfield last week too.

Please, elaborate. You think it was just the Jets having a better deal? Teams make trades all the time, especially during the draft. Enough of the conspiracy theories.

You do realize there is a set formula for draft order and the commissioner has no say in it, right?

1. Mayfield 2. Jackson 3. Darnold 4. Allen 5. Rosen

DeCastro was taken 26th, and wasn't great for the 1st couple years. He is now, so good pick overall, but nowhere near Nelson when comparing rookie seasons.

No. The refs give them a REASONABLE amount of time to sub. If the defense takes too long, they'll let them snap the ball without the defense being fully subbed.

The refs can delay for the Steelers to substitute even past the play clock, causing New England to get delay of game or waste a TO. The Steelers didn't try to substitute, so it didn't matter.

If it isn't illegal, it isn't cheating. The Steelers didn't try to substitute. If they had, they would have prevented the Patriots from snapping the ball until they substituted. Not everything new that happens is cheating.

I say he and Harbaugh end up in Denver.

I've heard Riley isn't being considered at all. Arians possibly, and he would keep Kitchens. After that, Dorsey is as tight lipped as they come. Very few had any clue of Mayfield and Ward being the picks before they happened. That, and Stanton was hired as essentially a personal QB coach for Baker.

I want to keep Gregg more or less simply to keep Kitchens. Obviously he and Baker are great together. From 3-36-1 Hue to 4-2 Gregg.

Chubb has 12 sacks. I doubt they regret him.

Yeah, he is struggling pretty bad tonight. Hopefully he has a good 2nd half. He had a 3 INT 1st half against Houston, then threw for 350+ in the 2nd half.

Since the coaching change (Week 9), he is the 3rd rated QB in the NFL.

He's not a superstar, but he has been pretty good since signing in Cleveland. Caught a 66 yard bomb on the 1st drive last week.

Great catch by Perriman too! Crazy how bad he was in Baltimore.

Gordon won't be a FA this offseason. He'll be a RFA next offseason.

Chubb. He is already near elite pass rush status as a rookie. Allen is progressing but is still a huge question mark.

That shows a major, major flaw in QBR. Rodgers has thrown 23 TD to 1 INT this year. 1! Allen is at 5 and 9. He gets apparently a huge boost from his running.

The big issue is if he gets too comfortable running, and runs even when plays aren't there, or runs for 10 when there is a 30 yard pass there for the taking. I'm not saying that will happen. And his running has been crazy good. It's just a result of seeing Browns QBs in the past getting "used" to scrambling from pressure to the point that they scramble, pressure or not. Allen can develop as a passer, but isn't very polished yet.

I think there is zero chance of either being traded for 3rds and 4ths. Julio is probably the best or top 3 at worst WR in the game, and AJ is close when healthy. Those picks don't help half as much or close as them. And it isn't like they are 35 with only a year or 2 left.

How do you still have 1st and 2nd round picks while trading for Julio or AJ?

I doubt the top QB lasts to 6. Someone will trade to 1, 2, or 3 to ensure they get the guy they want. Rarely does the bidding start at pick 6.
