All this winning really takes the fun out of mock drafts. It's one thing to have a couple options in mind when picking #10 overall, and it's likely that one or all of them will be available. But picking #30?!? Who frickin knows. Agreed, there is almost no way any of the guys in the first 3 picks here actually makes it to us (especially Cox in the 3rd). But it's tough to say what is reasonable at #30 too.

The goal is to improve the team as much as possible and at our largest areas of need, within our limited resources. My point is that while the OL can always be improved, the Offense was the least of our problems last year, and actually the strength of the team for once. I'd rather keep that as-is and prioritize resources to improve the D where we will get the most bang for our buck (biggest improvement). If we can still use resources to improve the OL, great! It just isnt a major need, imo.

If we re-sign 2 out of Feliciano/Boettger/DWIlliams, and Ford comes back from injury, how big of a need is it really? Edit: Disclaimer - I'm always down for upgrading the trenches, so wouldnt be upset with an early OL pick. Just dont think it will be that much of a need compared to D Front 7.

Did you just call Pete Carroll a GILF?

His on-field decision making already proves he is smarter than that. No need to take HALF the pay when the cap will be sky-rocketing right when his big money kicks in.

They're releasing on Disney+, like Mulan, no? This schedule was for streaming. Ah, I see here it's still up in the air... https://screenrant.com/black-widow-movie-disney-plus-release-delay-happen/

Beane allowing Murphy to stay on the roster and have the guarantee kick in was arguably his biggest mistake of 2020. Should have cut him and tried to re-sign him cheaper and not guaranteed.

JMO, but anytime anyone presents something to me that guarantees me $100M+, I sign that almost immediately. I dont think he'd be leaving too much money on the table signing now rather than next year. Especially for a guy who plays physically and had a small shoulder injury this year. And a guy who doesnt seem like the type to try to push this to a "Dak-type" situation. Get it done so everyone can focus on playing football and move on. If he is due to sign a 5yr/$200M extension, how much higher will it really get? And is it worth waiting for? And does he lose out on some guaranteed money since the team loses the ability to spread the hit into 2021?

I think he has at least 1 good-to-great year left in him. And I also think he will be highly motivated to prove that at least this year as well. Assuming we're looking at a 2-3 year contract, I think it could be worth it for a star player 1 year, and a solid contributor for 2 more. Hell, we paid Murphy $10M to stand around in street clothes for most of the year.

"Jaws of Life" always makes things sound way more serious than they really are. They are just high-powered scissors that can cut through metal. If the door was crunched and simply couldnt open... Jaws of Life. Hoping all goes well for Tiger. I'm a big fan.

Yeah, PLENTY of NFL players arent in the right place mentally. It just usually doesnt bite them in the ass until after they are out of the league and dont have people covering for them anymore.

Havent seen the newest episode yet, so avoiding discussion on the show for now. But wanted to share this tentative schedule a reddit user made. Disney is releasing new Marvel content every week for the rest of this year. And then will release new Star Wars content (Boba Fett, etc) every week of 2022. CANT WAIT!

Imagine being on an OL unit with Taylor Lewan and YOU being the biggest basket case...

Yes, they'll get it done this offseason and they should. As long as it is as expected, an extension that kicks in after his 5th year option. So still on the rookie deal this year and 2022, and then the big money kicks in in 2023. But we would be able to spread some of that bonus out over the next couple of years as well. Absolutely. Get r dun.

Stupid science B word couldnt make I more smarter!

The OU players fought a pair of brothers. NEVER fight brothers. This is basic playground survival we're supposed to learn at an early age. At 0:03 when the dude asks his brother "which one do you want?", it's over. Get out of there. And no, the players weren't trying to de-escalate. They just didnt expect to run into townies with better sports experience (wrestling/mma) than they had. If they were trying to keep the peace, they wouldnt have shoved him.

Edmunds was my choice, with Oliver as the up and coming prospect. The 1st rounders will always have that pressure to perform at an elite level or be seen as a disappointment.

We should be beyond critical mass (60-70% vaccinated) by the end of summer. Which would mean full re-opening and back to normal. As long as everyone gets vaccinated.

It's actually a pretty realistic take. We're up over 1.5M a day and ramping towards 3M a day in a month or two. And we (the country and the world) are already starting to the benefits of even these early vaccinations with the infection rate declining to levels it hasnt been since the start of this mess. It's almost all good news nowdays. J&J says it will have 20M US doses ready by March. Pfizer says it will ship 13M US doses by mid-March. US on track to have vaccines for all by July US COVID hospitalizations at lowest since November (and dropping) Rhode Island closes two field hospitals due to declining numbers Maryland COVID hospitalizations falls below 1000 West Virginia (of all places) among highest Vaccination rates in the WORLD See you at the tailgate!

Wont matter for Football. At our current vax rate, we should be out of the woods by September and have full fan attendance. Good for Devils fans I guess. Get to see Lindy Ruff in person.

Oof. Been there. Last active player I bought was Dareus. I've learned to only go with retired guys (Tasker, Hull, etc). Kyle Williams is my next purchase.

Welcome to the offseason. It's late-Feb. There is nothing real to discuss.

For our team needs at the time, and the way he performed in his first 2 seasons, Dareus was the right pick at the time. Our run D got man-handled the previous season, and Dareus stepped right in and plugged those holes. Who could have known that he'd never grow up, and even regress? That draft will go down as one of the most talented classes ever compiled. The right move (with hindsight) would have been to take Atlanta's offer since they were trying to trade up for AJ Green, and trade down a bit. Still end up with someone like JJ Watt or Cam Jordan, AND another top talent from that class. Oh well. edit: Funny, that may have been the only thing @1billsfan fan and I agreed on back then.

Man, I lead that charge. My biggest amateur scouting mistake so far. I was convinced he was too small to do anything as a pass rusher in the NFL. Glad my arguments made such a lasting impression, haha. Oops. My only saving grace was that I was right about Cam that same year, and he wasnt a bust or flame out.

LOL, already off to a great start building the camaraderie
