Ah. Wasn't part of that convo, but I wasn't a big believer in Newman either. He had an awful Senior Bowl then skipped out on Georgia's pro day.

Pretty sure he's being sarcastic. For the record though, Newman is an Eagle.

I'm telling you how the evaluators see it, and yes it makes sense. If you were asked to hire five people this year based solely on stats but couldn't meet or talk to any of them while knowing that next year you also needed to hire people but would be able to fully interview and vet them, which of those two processes would you have more confidence in?

In years when there there was no Covid, sure. It's different this year, and multiple NFL people echo that sentiment.

The logic behind it actually has to do with the evaluation process. Even with things easing up, the virus left coaches unable to do a lot of the traditional things that are part of player evaluation. They did the best they could, but still had major limitations. It's expected that those conditions won't exist next year, which will mean that the evaluation process should be more reliable and effective.

It was reported and confirmed by Fletcher himself.

Don't forget, we could all be gone by next Sunday.

Yep. Based on what I've been told by several huddlers before, this is a clear sign that the staff doesn't really believe in Sam Darnold and they only picked him up just in case they couldn't get someone better

Most picks since the expansion season...

With this many draft picks, the pinned topics take up half the page

So how about now?

Might take the over on Voth's question

Three for one...

Traded down again

More picks

Possible...

They're already in the fourth, coming up in just three picks as a matter of fact. (barring a trade down)

Here we go.

Bumping for Igo... Was able to make a general discussion thread at least.

Would volunteer, but I'll be at an eight year old's birthday party for a lot of the day (Lady Cowboy Fan's grandson). I take it the mods aren't available?

It's kind of a sh-tty draft for defensive tackles. One NFL personnel guy was quoted as saying it was the worst he'd ever seen.
