  1. Before I gave up the slot I was planning on BPA between DL, CB, and WR. Really depended on a WR run and if someone dropped unexpectedly. That and possibly a trade down.
  2. I’d be okay with giving up my jaguars pick if @Virgil is okay with it.
  3. I think that narrative is different because Jackson is more elusive and avoids most of the big hits. Josh on the other hand will occasionally lower his shoulder and play fullback. After seeing Cam Newton have injuries from that the media speculates. Big Ben was often banged up as well when he ran more early in his career. There’s a more recent comparable player for Allen. Where as folks just don’t remember Vick getting injured.
  4. Let us pray that BB doesn’t find a Rodgers level talent to replace Brady. I kind of feel for Vikings fans having to deal with their rival having back to back HoF QBs. After those losses the caught the losing side of the Herschel Walker trade followed by almost 40 years of packers dominance.
  5. Not that I’m aware of, but I can’t rule out a distant cousin.
  6. Making it known. Pick 20 (jaguars) may be available for any team looking to trade up. Pick 30 (GB) May be available for any team 18-27 that wants to trade down. Pending prospect availability.
  7. If he’s cut I wouldn’t be surprised to see him end up in GB and reunite with Pettine. They need a run stuffing DT badly and he knows the scheme. He literally won’t have to learn the playbook which would be appealing to both Pettine and El Capitan.
  8. Horrible QBs. IIRC, he played with 7-8 QBs over three years. He had a fair amount of drops, but the fourth lowest percentage of accurate passes from QBs. https://mobile.twitter.com/PFF_College/status/1222633013642694656 There are other WRs I like more for this team, but I wouldn’t be upset with Reagor at all. The pick would make sense, especially if they nabbed a guy like Van Jefferson or Claypool later in the draft.
  9. I’ll take on a second team as long as it isn’t the Ravens. I’m assuming we’re going to do this during the day tomorrow....
  10. That’s why tape like this is better than highlights.... TCU vs Ohio State 2018 https://youtu.be/qoM2hYziW6Y
  11. He’s 5’ 11” which is big enough when his other plus traits are taken into account. Namely, he’s one of the fastest WRs in the draft, can change directions at the drop of a dime, high points the ball very well, and has exceptional ball tracking ability on deep throws. I’ll be interested to see what his vertical (supposedly 40”) is as he can elevate and ***** the ball over bigger CBs. He’s also electric with the ball in his hands and can break the game open with bubble screens and jet sweeps. The biggest downsides are his concentration lapses and TCU route trees. I’d be content with him in the 1st. I’m not huge on highlight videos, but they provide some insight into the upside.
  12. I think they’ll be looking to fill WR or Edge in the 1st. Possibly OT if someone drops and it’s a clear BPA. As for RB. I think they want some size to fill a complimentary role. Explosiveness likely isn’t as important to them as versatility. Moss and Perine can both catch. Perine has experience lining up outside and in the slot coupled with enough speed to not get caught from behind. Moss is more of a versatile hammer, although I worry about him always playing hurt. There are other players though. One I’m keeping an eye on is Ke’Shawn Vaughn.
  13. Agree. They’ll be looking for a bigger back that can catch to compliment Singletary. There will be plenty to choose from 3-5.
  14. There will likely be a large difference in their salaries. Possibly by $10MM/yr. That likely sways people’s opinions. That and we paid Kroft to rehab most of the season. Most would love McB to sign Green at a relative value.
  15. What matters more to me is that Samuel shredded Clemson for 10 receptions, 210 yards, and 3 TDs. The kid played against top talent and could beat every type of coverage in the SEC.
  16. I’ll take any team in the NFC North most of my family and a lot of friends follow those teams. Preferably Packers and GB since half of them live in Sioux Falls, Milwaukee, GB and Minneapolis.
  17. I really don’t think a two time Heisman finalist and Johnny Unitas winner with a national championship and top coaching is quite comparable to the raw JUCO to Wyoming kid that is still developing. I can’t recall anyone saying Watson couldn’t throw a football.
  18. I think it’s a pretty good fit actually. Mr State Farm threw a tizzy when Van Pelt was let go in GB. His relationship with Rodgers and his own playing experience likely provides more clout than some other possible hires. That’s probably needed when dealing with Baker.
  19. A 0.2 yard improvement is certainly modest to say the least. There were enough variables in Tenn to add ambiguity to the statistics: offensive coordinator, QBs, linemen, etc. Had a pretty bad year his last season there compared to how he performed in Buffalo. I’m fine with Spain coming back at a decent price. There might be some cost effective upgrades available though.... it’s nice not worrying about what Beane is going to do. Definitely beats the last two decades. I’d love for someone to post Singletary’s run charts. Gores as well. Off the top of my head though it seems like the A gap between Spain and Morse was often clogged, and Singletary did a fair amount of jump cutting behind to follow Dawkins. Now, part of that could be due to traps, etc where one missed a reach block or a TE/FB missed a block. Not sure.
  20. I’ve commented on this a few times. It’s also harder on some linemen to block for a scrambling QB. I think Allen’s protection calls will improve with his experience level. What concerns me more with the Oline is their ability to win at POA in the run game. Particularly on inside runs. I’m not sure how much of this falls on Gore’s legs falling off mid season, but there certainly wasn’t enough drive to make up for that. QB sneaks aside our short yardage ground attack was bad. Perhaps it was just Ds being able to cue on Gore and Lee Smith.
  21. They also have a QB who broke his back this season. I wouldn’t rule them out on Tua either. It’s unlikely, but.... major injury to a starter and an opportunity to draft, sit, and develop a top QB can’t be dismissed outright.
  22. I’m pretty sure Thuney and Scherff are going to sign in the neighborhood of $13MM-$14MM. I doubt Beane wants to pay that for a G, but I could be wrong. Still, we should start looking at some of the guys in Spain’s tier or slightly above. Graham Glasgow (det) comes to mind. No clue if he fits what Daboll wants, but he’ll probably be in that $6MM-$8MM range.
  23. I think he might be referring to the RPOs in the red zone, but who knows. I think you’re correct about Daboll treating Allen like a more developed and experienced QB. I think Daboll falls on the sink or swim side of QB development, and Allen’s ability to grow and mature has lead to Daboll putting too much on his plate at times. Considering Allen’s seemingly bi-annual performance improvements Im not sure that Daboll has taken the wrong approach. Time will tell, but some guys do better with everything on their plate. Allen’s had some bad moments because of this. However, he always rebounds and improves. Daboll is likely playing a long game here and willing to let Allen take his lumps early.
  24. The gold nuggets are in the NFC breakdowns. Most of them are slightly facetious... “unlike Agholor”
