as bad as that sounds it’s not even his worst one 2009, wherein hurney traded the next year’s first round pick for a seminole who had no business playing as a down lineman in the pros, and our best player from that draft turns out to be a 5’8’’ cornerback from the 7th round or how about 2010? yea, let’s trade a 2nd round pick for a player that would’ve probably been a UDFA otherwise. i mean, we did get greg hardy in the 6th round, but everybody knows how that turned out in the end.

he’s worried about the competition at that coveted h-back/blocking TE roster spot

we’re instantly a contender with him on the roster but i don’t see it happening either

david newton is that fumbling overpaid boomer at the office who doesn’t know how to save a word file as pdf so he sends the .docx file to a $12 an hour intern via outlook to do it for him

draftspeak these supposed 2nd-3rd round graded players that are still available are not freak athletes that are going to produce on just any team. if they were, they would’ve been taken already. they’re only going to have a chance at panning out if they’re put into the right system. it doesn’t really matter which round you’re selecting them in at this point.

is it like a requirement for this franchise to draft a developmental TE/h-back almost every year

not rly crazy about the idea of trading down out of the third by round four you’re basically throwing darts

tbh it probably doesn’t matter who we pick until brady fugs off and rides into the sunset with his 20 rings or gets theismanned and then it might matter that we picked the safe corner back that could develop into a shutdown guy instead of the QBs that were left that have a lot of question marks and might be holding a clipboard in three years

unless they’re so serious that a trade goes down before draft day i wouldn’t hold my breath and with 3 or even 4 QBs projected to go before 8 we could walk out with a top 5 prospect

they traded a 2nd round pick, the highest of which could only be the 33rd pick, which is not even close to giving up a 1st round pick bc the talent dropoff is usually steep after the top 15 prospects are off the board (the blue chip guys, or whatever ESPN is calling them in 2021). this is hurney logic. we spent how many years pretending we got solid day one starters in the second round almost every year. even in the gettleman years there was kony ealy. it’s really hard to tell exactly what scott fitterer’s long term draft philosophy is, especially since we have yet to see him pick his first draft class, but i highly doubt he is going to make the same mistake hurney did, looking at scott wright’s nfldraftcountdown top 32 and seeing if any of them are still there at 45.

makes you think should we just forget about upgrading QB this year and focus on strengthening other areas bc we really aren’t in much position to get what we want anyway

if you knew what you were talking about you wouldn’t even see the ads bc you would’ve run adblockers by now. i haven’t seen an ad while using this site since 2015.

my life’s a blur and i hardly notice anything anymore

i didn’t think it could get any more generic than the browns

that’s actually pretty reasonable considering his production and upside

this is happening?!

if we can get a high volume passing QB in here, we’ll see how high his ceiling is

with an 80 million dollar contract it’s almost impossible to play up to that value each year. injuries get in the way and it’s a team sport. obviously we didn’t get quite the return in his performance but ppl wanted to spend the same amount of money on josh norman at the time and he never came close to his 2015 performance, where i think short did at least get close to his own for those first few years. also he was a crucial part of our defensive line in 2015. we had the supporting talent on that line but we just needed somebody to step up and be a playmaker after greg hardy’s departure.

based on what i’ve read, TE isn’t a position that is featured in our offensive system. which is fine if the replacement production is covered by say a slot receiver, in which case curtis samuel definitely made up for a lack of a pass catching TE in receptions/yards. i’m neither here nor there on the issue. i feel like this offense could work fine without a TE, however if the opportunity presents itself where we’re on the clock and there’s a really good TE prospect on the board, it’s probably best not to pass it up.

according to easterby’s wikipedia page it says that the panthers put in a bid for him to join the organization in 2019?

i guess it’s better than the mid-late 2000s days when they wouldn’t touch any player on the trading block bc “we build through the draft”, “we have 21 of 22 starters returning from our 8-8 team last year”, “there’s no place in our offense for a TE that doesn’t have bricks for hands”, etc.

wish this guy retires already bc he really takes the fun out of a sport that’s supposed to be about any given sunday by coming back every year to sponge up all the glory and rob the stage from the other guys when every single one of those players are literally more physically gifted than he is, and he is the most protected player on the field bc of that reason.
