Golden Goat

Were the meetings about the draft?

It's a good take. I personally believe if Beane REALLY wanted to get to 2, it wouldn't have been a lowball offer.

This should be stickied, imho.

We suckered a HIGH 3rd for Tyrod out of these guys. But yeah, they're brilliant.

Nope, and I never said anything close to that. Maybe if I post it again it will be more clear? "Wide receivers with NFL experience > no-name freshmen and sophomore receivers in a bad college program." If you'd like to disagree with that, please, feel free. But don't make stuff up.

Speaking of useless, how about a 2019 mock? You know certain draft "experts" are going to spew those out over the next week.

6'5, 355? Good Lord.

Couldn't be happier. Lots of cash for offensive free agents next year, plus all of our draft picks. I don't like us for 2019, but we'll be a force in 2020.

So was Sammy. Never dropped a ball in practice!

Valid. The good news is, he's used to a crappy o-line, and can move well for a big guy. Can't wait to see how this unfolds.

What do you think you've just proven here? Geez, you really DO need this spelled out for you. My quote: "Let's see what he can do with a strong supporting cast before running him out of town?" Your quote: "Do you really see anyone "running him out of town?" After suggesting that there was a lot of negativity toward him in other posts, I pointed out that I was being figurative with "run out of town" and that you, incorrectly, took it literally. I'm still not convinced you know what that means. Point is, even after I clarified myself, you tried to tell me what I meant. It sure seems that is how you, sir, "encourage football to be discussed here." It's a bad look, especially for a mod.

Actually, all you do is deflect. Reread my original quote that you jumped on and tell me where I said what you said I said. That's what a more seasoned mod would do. Actually, a more seasoned mod wouldn't be this combative in the first place. I don't have confidence in your longevity.

Based on?

Figure of speech. You took it literally. I meant it figuratively. I get that some people preferred Rosen, and I feel your pain that you didn't get the guy you wanted. I personally don't see it with Rosen, and think he will spend a lot of time on IR very early in his career. Time will tell. Ever hear of a "figure of speech?" Or maybe you didn't bother reading what was actually written before kissing up to the mod?

I'm on board with this. I would have been fine with any of the Top 4 not named Rosen. Attitude aside, the guy strikes me as skinny and fragile. For his sake, I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see him getting up after a big hit.

Is Lauletta "pissed" that there were 107 "mistakes" before him?

Surely you've read some of the other posts? Call me crazy, but wide receivers with NFL experience > no-name freshmen and sophomore receivers in a bad college program.

Ending the playoff drought wasn't impressive enough for you? Were you expecting a Super Bowl win in the first year? Would that have impressed you? Some people just aren't very realistic.

Actually, YES! I was trying to place it. You nailed it.

Oh, I wasn't singling you out. And you're right about there not being a consensus #1 QB in this draft. It's subjective, and there are valid knocks on all of them. I'm just glad we took our shot.

One could say the same about "Equanimeous"

Last year, Allen was throwing to 2 sophomores and 3 freshmen. Not a single Wyoming running back, receiver or tight end was a starter the previous year. Let's see what he can do with a strong supporting cast before running him out of town?

Gronk also has to face Minkah Fitzpatrick twice a year.

Just me or does Baker Mayfield have the same vibe as The Miz?

More than once if the draft is really that deep.
