Man hands.

"She's homely. No way I let her touch my junk..." This gets weirder every day.

Agreed. I'm adding one or 1.5 tenths to each time. That would be more in line with the stats. Even then...some impressive times. I remember when a 4.75 Edge was fast. Now, that's pedestrian.

There have been blazing 40 times the entire month of March. I wonder if these times have been made official, with digital timing and vetted footwear and surfaces. This amount of outrageously fast times is unprecedented. Are pro days as scrutinized as the official combine? I wonder.

JOK

He's clearly some sort of vampire.

Kendrick Green. Good in tight spaces and can get outside on pulls. Aggressive. Developmental G and C. Could challenge Cody Ford. Could possibly take over for Morse next year. #53, LG. For context, watch his reps against Daviyon Nixon, a projected early round draft pick (#54 for Iowa). Unfortunately, too rich for a 3rd, and we have no 4th. If he's there in the 5th, I hope they scoop him up.

If anything, the offense (and Josh) needs interior blocking, and perhaps a gadget player (to replace McKenzie). Thing is, both of those can be had in rounds 3-6. I suspect Josh is like Ben early in his career (and similar to krav maga): he can make a deadly weapon out of anyone. As long as they do their job, he will get the ball to them. This is why Sanders is a perfect fit for a #2 WR - he gets to the precise spot he's supposed to be on each play. By drafting defense (and interior blocking) in the early rounds in the 10 years after Ben was drafted, the Steelers were able to get studs like Bud Dupree, Ryan Shazier, Cam Heyward, Lawrence Timmons, and Lamarr Woodley. And 3 Super Bowl appearances. Edge, CB2, and 1-tech DT should be invested early in the upcoming draft.

I just saw the nonsense he posted. This now seems like a bad take.

Love this guy. Hope Beane does. And that there are no character concerns.

Who ya got? Unwuzurike? MacNeill? I don't see Barmore falling, and he's pretty vulnerable to double teams anyway.

Keep in mind, this might be just the thing for Trubisky to get his career back on track. Look what they did with Josh. Perhaps Buffalo is now the destination for highly drafted but raw QBs to remediate.

I think both those guys would be good developmental prospects. When you look at someone like Shelvin, playing against top flight linemen in the SEC, you'll see nuanced technique that helps him make plays, even while double-teamed. Slaton or Bohanna could get there, but they'd need to under-study from Star for a year or two.

That QB room just became really crowded. Who do they let walk? Webb? Fromm? Both?

Yes and yes. Agreed 100%. I feel like a giant, immovable, juggernaut-type 1-tech will transform this defense. Make everyone around them better. Shelvin is my pick for value. Togiai will likely go early 2nd, so too rich. Bobby Brown would be a good late round pick up. McNeill of NC State will likely go too early as well.

Gonna keep banging the drum for a 1-tech DT in rounds 3-5. Togiai, Shelvin, or in the later rounds Bobby Brown. A big space eater will create many openings for our other front 7.

"I'll take 'Players we won't get' for $800 Alex". I have different ones: Scarlett Johansson or Bella Hadid? Ferrari 250 GTO or Porsche 917? Glenfiddich 1937 or Bowmore 1964?

This is an excellent look. I've run through the program over a hundred times (enter Fast so it only takes a few minutes), and the top CBs and Edges are in the top two rounds. If Beane is looking for early production from those positions (and well he should!), that's where the assets should be placed. Then a TE and a C/G after. Was Bobby Brown not there in the 5th (where you took Hayes)? That's the only issue I see - no 1-tech DT.

I scarcely recall him hitting the field at all this season. Nice depth, but I'd guess he would be easily replaceable.

They're loading up.

No disrespect intended.

Better than 0-4.

I feel like this is a joke. Jokeman, Joker avatar, near-useless QB....outrageous post.

Good thinking. Any thoughts on the stadium experience?

See you at the tailgate. Anyone have thoughts on how the gameday experience might change?
