I've seen it go both ways. And that observation doesn't help a bit at this point, does it?

I thought that last year when we invested so heavily in guards. I was wrong because they sure made a difference. Hubbard and Brown seem to be worth the money or possibly even bargains. And Horn, that was a lot of money there, but it probably is just resetting the marketplace and he'll be down the list in the next few weeks. Still, I'm wondering about the balance between the impact he made last season and his availability through his career. It's a roll of the dice and I'm not sure how much is guaranteed.

Would be great to have a home grown starter at FS. I hope he can reach the potential Coach Canales seems to have seen.

I think that they probably want a QB before then and might go with Dart. I know who they picked up but really... Hoping they don't grab Warren though.

Warren will be the pick. Read the room.

Honestly, his name doesn't ring a bell for me, but good for him! I hope at the end of this next season I'll be talking about what an amazing development he's had!

Must be worried he's going to get a Musk e-mail asking what he's done during the last week. That's how we get this crap turned out at the very, very beginning of free agency and before the draft and training camp. Gotta show some work, get something to post and keep justifying paychecks. That being said, we all gobble this stuff up knowing that it's just fluff. So, just enjoy it for the cotton candy it is.

APP State!!!!!! Woot!

Thanks! We work really hard on these stories and it takes a lot of work behind the scenes. Hope you're enjoying what we do! Like and subscribe folks!

It's not a philosophy, it's a truth. Every time any team makes a draft pick they are betting that this young fellow will somehow be able to make the jump to the NFL, that'll he won't be bogged down by injuries, that he will over perform where they picked him. And in the vast majority of cases across the entire spectrum of picks, the success rate is low. That makes every draft pick a hope.

Every pick is a hope. Every pick.

The bar was set very, very low. Historically low. I'm not sure a coordinator has ever survived the off-season with a team that set a historic low for futility before. Still, I have hope from what we've picked up and retained.

I kinda see him as BPA at 8. The problem is that I also see him as BPA at around five and six and seven, too. That has me worried. Best player, whatever position, can make a team. This guy is one of those who can do it and we desperately need some of those folks.

Tyler Warren will be the pick. That's what I'd do and that's what the tea leaves are reading right now.

I'd love to add a classic fullback to our team. If he were five years younger I'd jump at having him here. And yeah, I still miss Brad Hoover.

Bengals gonna Bengal.

Here's my deal: About every other script I write, I spend about two weeks going through police report after police report, looking at crime scene photos, going through autopsies, watching interview footage, sometimes even having to watch on scene video/audio of a murder in progress. It wears on a soul and honestly, I'm weary of the people who say "I can do this or that to another person" or "if they tried that with me" or the worst of them all "I believed they would stop, why didn't someone stop them?" Human life is just too fuging cheap on planet Earth.

Well, we got one uninjured and good season from him. And a handful of partial ones due to injuries. He may get paid a lot more out there on the market than we can wisely do, so... it might be Jaycee's preference to hit the market more than our reluctance to offer a decent contract. Would like to see him back, but he can't get Top 10 or Top 15 money.

Yanno, I'm staying out of this. There's no good place to go here. Let's all just not put hands on other folks.

And rightly so.

Warren in the first, don't worry about FA tight ends. And really, has anyone ever won picking up former Jaguars? Have the Jaguars ever won with their own folks?

Didn't see this at all.

Let's see how it plays out.

Oh, I see where you are coming from. I've just seen too many iffy QBs get massive paychecks after a sudden re-emergence. Someone will roll the dice with three years, $90 million.
