  1. Might as well. We need to get these rookies on the field and see if they can play ASAP.
  2. My dad's a Raiders fan who has been hearing me bitch about Ian Thomas for years. When I told him the Raiders signed him he stopped for a minute, then realized I wasn't joking and said "now why the hell would they go and do that?"
  3. Blackmon is the best option, IMO. Simmons wasn't good at all in Atlanta last year, though he does have experience in Evero's scheme so there is that.
  4. I loved our draft outside of the 4th round. I felt there were better RBs available than Etienne and better safeties than Ransom, but I don't hate either pick. Our 5th round could end up being the best value we've had in a draft since Josh Norman.
  5. I know who I don't want... If he put up these grades in Baltimore's defense, I'd hate to see what he'd look like here.
  6. I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
  7. That's a good question. But his stats look good, PFF grades are good and there aren't any off-field issues I'm aware of. It could be as simple as the new regime doesn't value him the same way the old one did. Sometimes when new coaches/GMs take over teams players like this can slip between the cracks. In any event, I feel like he's worth looking into.
  8. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jaguars-wont-exercise-devin-lloyds-2026-option' This is an interesting one. Could this be a good trade target for us at ILB? Young player with good production and still a good amount of upside. Likely an upgrade over one or both of Wallace/Jewell. Good PFF grades for those that care about such things.
  9. I'd bet anything we get a video of T-Mac mossing Jaycee in the endzone within 3 days of camp starting.
  10. The upside to signing Renfrow now is that, even if we end up cutting him, if we get into the season and someone goes down we'll have a solid veteran option we can bring in who already knows the offense and can step in right away.
  11. I'm seeing on Twitter that a bunch of players received prank calls this year. I haven't seen they were all from the Ulbrich kid, but either way it's not a good look for the NFL for that many player's contact info to be in that many people's hands. What I don't get is why it was ever necessary for a team's defensive coordinator to have that information. They're not the ones who make that call; that should be sent to the GM, who would assign whatever staff in his office to keep track of it. The assistant coaches have zero need to even have that information to begin with.
  12. I'm not sure he makes the roster, TBH. He's a name at this point, but I'm not sure what he brings to the table that we don't already have with Adam Thielen. I suspect we keep 6 WRs this year: LOCKS: T-Mac XL Thielen Coker LIKELY: Horn Jr. (as a return specialist if nothing else) That only really leaves one open WR spot between Renfrow, Moore, Jacolby George, Kobe Hudson and Moose III.
  13. If Bryce ends up being "the guy" then the Panthers won the trade. If not, the Bears did.
  14. I really thought he'd be one of three kickers drafted. I had him ranked as my #2 kicker so getting him as a UDFA is great value.
  15. And yet you can't name the backups who are better than him.
  16. This guy is an athletic freak. This is an interesting move.
  17. I think you have unrealistic expectations for a backup QB.
  18. MOOOOSSEEEE! I hope he sticks just so we can draft Squirrel White next year and have Moose & Squirrel.
  19. We have a solid backup in Dalton. Bringing in a young QB early in the draft would only serve to create a QB controversy for no good reason. If Bryce regresses this year then we'll know it's time to go looking for a QB in next year's draft. Taking Dillon Gabriel or Quinn Ewers this year wouldn't have changed that.
  20. Didn't he get arrested for sexual assault recently or something?
  21. Luke Kandra is a GREAT signing. He has legitimate future starting center potential.
