Edges? There are easily 8 better right now, but he could end up top 3 over the next ~5 years.

A lot of posters watching this Colorado game in tears, it seems. lol Put me in the camp that likes Deion, thinks he’s great for college football, and also enjoys seeing him getting whooped today.

Jeremiah Trotter Jr would be a lock for me in the 3rd round if he’s still there. I think he’s currently viewed as a 2nd rounder, but his lack of elite measurables could make him slide to the 3rd. Easy pick for us with Shaq injured and nearing the end of his career.

Sadly agree. There have been plenty of years you could ask if it’s really an “upset” if ECU beats NC State. This is not one of those years.

We almost made the playoffs. You don’t tank when you’re a win away from the playoffs in the last couple weeks of the regular season.

Sign Mike Evans and Calvin Ridley this off-season and stick it to the NFCS.

Nailed it

While listed at OLB, I’m pretty sure I saw YGM with his hand down at the 5T. I mentioned in the off-season this, imo, is his best position and primarily on passing downs. He’s not quick enough to disrupt off the edge, but his size/speed combo can work well at 5T. Sure enough, he would have had a solo sack if Houston hadn’t arrived at the same time last night. I believe he was credited with a half sack. Good to see him contributing and hope it continues.

Who told Frank9999 he could start threads around here?

We’re only missing our own Tyreke/Waddle combo and innovative play calling. I’m far more concerned with the lack of weapons and the play calling than Bryce. At least I can hold onto hope that Thomas Brown will improve one of those.

He threw a few bullets off platform right to the WR’s numbers last night. Remind me when any of our last three QBs did that, and it was his 2nd game as a pro. Relax

Shaq’s out for a while. Grade 2 ankle inversion sprain is best case scenario. He might have broken it.

I’d have lost a lot of money if someone bet me the NFCS would be undefeated against all other divisions through the first two weeks. They’ll come crashing down soon. This is still a terrible division.

And Bozeman, Corbett, Woods, Icky, etc. I know it’s popular to hate on Horn at the moment, but I think he’s potentially elite (All-Pro) caliber at his position when healthy. I don’t fault Fitt for Horn’s injury misfortunes. He’s clearly a stud on the field.

Our team with a brand new coaching staff and rookie QB doesn’t have an identity after Week 1? I’m shocked. RB is the only position that has been downgraded since Fitt, and many Huddlers wanted to trade CMC long before it happened.

Let’s see what we have in Chark/Mingo/Theilen/TMJ/Shenault by the trade deadline. Lots of unknowns. Trading for Renfrow would make the Theilen signing pretty pointless imo.

I have my eye on Rashod Bateman and his usage in Baltimore. He’s another injury-plagued WR with some upside which we clearly don’t mind targeting. If Chark doesn’t work out, we can probably get Bateman for cheap before the deadline if Flowers keeps eating into his targets. We’d have him on his rookie contract in 2024 and 5th year option available if he produces and is healthy.

Bills just received his post game x-ray:

How are we to feel if we deal Burns at the deadline to a team who actually has a high 1st round pick in 2024? The Rams actually looked impressive Week 1 and were without Kupp.

He said Corbett, not BC. From reading, I expect Corbett will be ready to go by then or soon after.

Ouch on Brady I was one who was intrigued by Strachan in the lead up to his draft. I’m happy he’s on the practice squad.

I don’t think trading Horn when his stock has bottomed out due to injuries is the best idea.

Good deal on Branch. Tough break for the Lions at LT. Their line was impressive.

Feeling good about my LaPorta and Brian Branch pre-draft wish list. Hope Branch is ok as non-contact injuries are never good. I didn’t see if he came back in.
