I see Warren Sapp has gone through the Sammy Sosa treatment.

You signed up for a 3rd and 4th shot too, didnt you...

The good ol days. Could watch this all day. A longer video with replay and analysis... "He lined him up, he sized him up, he laid him out."

Interesting points. But I do have an issue with him using Yards Per Carry as his main stat for determining value. He keeps saying "None of these backs lead their teams in YPC as the starter". Well duh. The starter, and especially a 1st round Feature Back, is going to get way more carries than the backups. More carries equals higher denominator equals lower average. It's another case of someone knowing just enough math to make a point, but not enough math to realize why it's not a great point either.

Ahhh, good catch. I missed that note. I wonder who he thinks we are trading with and how far back we are moving...

We don't have a pick in Round 4 tho... 🤷‍♂️

I dont see it as Dean saying it isnt important. More that there isnt talent or value there in this specific draft class.

I voted Meh, because I'd probably be a bit worried, but ultimately In Beane I Trust.

One bit of painfully won Justice. Hallelujah.

Good list/breakdown. But I think you are underselling Michel here. His sophomore season, he still put up 912 yds and 7 TDs. Which would be by far the best season Singletary (or Moss) ever had. And not sure I'd say he was replaced last year considering he was on IR twice with a quad injury.

I'm interested in seeing the numbers on this Rams contract.

We just dont need to invest much money or energy into our punter. Bojo had the fewest punts in the entire NFL last year with 41 in 16 games. That is crazy low. Hekker, who he will be replacing, had 68 attempts.

What about ALL of those things? All OL starters back healthy Scheme tweaks Improvement in RB talent What's wrong with that? Fantasy thinking is taking a RB #2 overall like the Giants. Or even top-10. We're at #30.

Maybe he wants to be evil?

I mean, players trying to max their value should never be a surprise. But I just dont see it happening right now. Not this week with the draft upon us. And not this offseason while Beane is trying to work a blockbuster Allen extension.

I'd be surprised if Diggs was pushing for a new contract. He's only just going into year 3 of 5. Not even technically half way yet. And outside of 1 or 2 anomaly contracts, he's fairly compensated compared to his peers. Maybe after this season they could figure out a way for a new deal to benefit both sides. But I dont think either side is worried about it right now. Are you saying it will Wake Beane Up, before he go-goes to Cleveland?

Except NONE of the RBs currently on our roster are as good as any of those 3. I'm fine with moving on from Singeltary.

Not if they cant pass block, and we are passing 80% of the time. We are a passing team with a passing offense, and the personnel to pass. If we want to improve this run game, we have to improve the RB. We can tweak the scheme a bit to help them, but it will come down to getting a RB who can make his own success. I dont disagree in theory. But when talking about this specific team... Which OL are we going to draft at #30 that will unseat any of our current OL and be better than them this year? Otherwise it is a wasted pick as well. I can say with some decent confidence that Harris is an immediate improvement over Singeltary and Moss. Isnt that last bolded statement an endorsement to draft Harris?

This makes sense, and I've been a "No RBs in the 1st Round" guy for a while myself. HOWEVER... I think this year is a bit different. 1. We are no longer drafting in the Top 12. We're drafting at #30 overall, practically a 2nd round pick. 2. The draft is weak in the trenches, and where we need help. Taking a DE will likely be a reach, and get us a player on par with Epenesa at best, or more likely Erik Flowers. 3. We are IN THE HUNT for a Super Bowl RIGHT NOW. And that window may only have a few years left. I dont care what happens to this RB after his rookie deal. So with all that said, I am fine if Beane decides to snag someone he feels is a playmaker and can make a difference on this team right away. I dont think we get that with any of these mediocre DEs.

Yeah, I wasnt sure how the selected vs alternate worked either. @Rock-A-Bye Beasley, I'd be interested if you had a link or something explaining that. I appreciate the info, but this stuff gets so ridiculously complicated, I'd like to see it explained. Thanks!

When she was calling Cleveland fans heroes I was like "WTF? What about us?!?" and then she did us and I was like "Yeah, ok, that's actually right"

Wish List (would be happy to get drafted here): Buffalo Baltimore Green Bay Miami Atlanta Tampa Bay Arizona San Fran Seattle Dis List (I'm threatening to go play baseball instead): New England NY Jets Dallas Washington Cincy Cleveland Detroit Chicago Texans Jax Tenn Las Vegas Los Angeles (Rams or Chargers) Anyone not listed (like Philly, Pitt, Denver) is just meh. Happy for the chance to play in the NFL, but not excited about the specific team.

That is surprisingly well done and did not make me click out from embarrassment before she finished. 🤣

I'm 100% with you, and it makes discussing him so difficult. 🤣 This... is actually a really good point.

When you draft a kid who is barely 19, you gotta be ready to ride it out. It isnt my money, and I'd hate to move on too early. LBs do tend to get better and better over time as their pre-snap reads evolve.
