Mr. Scot

Agreed, and probably a high one...

Not at all. I may question whether he's someone we should draft, but I have zero questions about his character.

Breer on today's possible quarterback action... So where will the action happen today? Because of the close relationship between Titans coach Mike Vrabel and Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell, Ridder’s name has been consistently connected to Tennessee, where Ridder could essentially take a redshirt year behind Ryan Tannehill, and the team could use it to work on his mechanics to see whether his accuracy might improve. The Titans moved down from No. 26 to No. 35, with 35 being the third pick tonight and a more appropriate spot to grab Ridder (Seattle’s also done homework on him). On top of that, both the Falcons and Seahawks have been connected in recent weeks to Ole Miss’s Matt Corral (who’s got off-field questions for everyone to sort through), and those two have a pair of second-rounders each (Seattle’s at 40 and 41; Atlanta’s at 43 and 58). Washington’s another team to watch, at both 47 and 98. The Commanders have kicked tires on Liberty’s Malik Willis (whom Atlanta has checked out as well) and Howell. Link: SI.com

Getting a 2nd might be too expensive...

Gotcha. I know he wasn't initially scheduled.

I have no doubt Rhule is still in charge of all things coaching related. It does, however, feel like personnel is more Scott Fitterer's domain now.

Tom Pelissero: "Conversations ongoing" between the Panthers and Browns about Baker Mayfield...

Regarding Mayfield... General belief was that if he got cut, he'd be a Steeler within five minutes. I have to wonder if that's changed now that they've drafted Pickett.

That one year was awful.

I'd agree that was a huge mistake. Gruden was pretty much in charge of everything, but he's got no problem with scapegoating someone else.

I'm convinced we want to. I'm less sure we can accomplish it.

It wouldn't surprise me. If they were genuinely that accurate, I'm pretty sure they'd get more mainstream acknowledgement.

I think if Phil Snow told Matt Rhule that up was down, he'd listen.

Yep. He told the story himself. Albert Breer confirmed it in his story about how the trade went down.

You have proof of that?

I'd add, who wasn't off in mocking this draft? Nobody saw the picks falling this way.

To be fair, Gruden had total control there.

Jeff Howe said this regarding Mayfield... The Browns are prepared to pay a portion of Mayfield’s $18.86 million salary to facilitate a deal, with the percentage of the contractual retainment relative to the trade compensation. That’ll be important with the Panthers also paying quarterback Sam Darnold’s $18.86 million fifth-year option. The Athletic

All those guys were Gruden / Mayock picks.

As I recall, he's about the only one we didn't.

Same...Oy
