I think the joke it ultimately became serves as a double entendre of sorts, but yeah, I will.

I believe in Dan Morgan.

I occasionally checked in on him while he was at A&M, hoping he would blow up and become a great NFL prospect. This is awesome. I feel like his dad doesn’t get enough love for how great of a player he was. I certainly hope lil Moose eventually gets on the roster… this is the stuff movies are made of.

He’s one of my all-time favorite players, but he’s historically been a pretty shitty person. I had first-hand experience. I trusted Smitty’s WR evaluations when he put his stamp on Cooper Kupp. But like I said, once he started making evaluations of our players based on what the organization told him to say versus what he knew to be true, he lost all credibility to me. And like I said, him toeing the company line about things like Rhule while he had a front row seat to see what a fuging joke he was but continuing to hype him up on broadcasts, all while taking cheap shots on easy targets like Joey Slye or some bottom of the roster straggler… it’s reflective of shitty character.

Smitty lost credibility to me when he started kissing Tepper’s ass (and ring) to curry favor with the organization and exchanged his integrity in the process… from co-signing Rhule until he was gone, to hyping up guys like Shi and Minho when the organization wanted him to. I really dgaf what Smitty’s evaluations are anymore. Maybe if he spent less time kissing ass and rearranging married women’s IUDs, his evaluations would be more meaningful.

Younger Thielen?

Damn. I haven’t seen DC in one video yet bc of it.

I mind. Because it’s one thing to suck and suck with humility and a willingness to learn. It’s another to suck and think you have it all figured out while you act like an asshole. From throwing drinks on fans, to the hires, to the fires, to the “basement dwellers” comment about his own fanbase for calling him out on his idiocy. His face pisses me off. His voice pisses me off. But I agree with you Montsta… I’ve never been more apathetic or indifferent when it comes to our team for the reasons you mentioned. I accepted long ago we were an incarnation of the Browns. Hope it turns around and we find our footing under this regime… But Tepper just irks me…

Does anyone else immediately stop watching the draft videos when Tepper pops on the screen to talk to the draft pick? I just get repulsed now at the sight of him and the sound of his voice.

I figured that as well, but just for shits and giggles. I know the weight is scaring teams off, but… I hope we sign him. Could be a fun prospect.

Watched him a lot more the season before last. He is a fuging playmaker. Love this pick and the potential. And he’s overcome a lot of adversity. Would really love to see him complete the WR room with Tet, XL, Coker, Thielen.

Damn, I forgot all about Brooks. And now we took Ettiene today after signing what’s his face from Dallas. I guess they’re really banking on Brooks not coming back next year, or ever.

You know my favorite safety since Minter? Mike effin Mitchell. Marlon McCree was also underrated for his short time here…. Also really liked Chris Harris. And they did similar things, although I think Mitchell was the most complete. Mitchell set the tone with his physicality and that matters. We haven’t had anyone capable of that since he left. Between Moehrig and now Ransom, I am excited to see what our safety corps looks like.

Like this pick…. Haven’t had a planet at NT since Kemoeatu. Now if Morgan wants to make me really cream my pants, trade back in to the draft and take his teammate Desmond Watson.

I liked what I saw of him in college, but do we need to be 3 deep at HB?

I actually have a feeling Shiloh is gonna be really solid. He has a knack for making plays and is pretty physical. it is still crazy to me that all of Prime’s boys all ended up with average athleticism lol. But Shiloh is a dog.

But the thing is, I think back to the RG3/Cousins deal. Cousins may have started out or been regarded as a backup and very quiet, humble, milquetoast kind of guy - but if they can play, the distraction is gonna be there regardless. Once Cousins got the chance to play, it became a distraction and a media circus of sorts. i may be in the minority, but Shadeur can play. There is elements of his game that remind me of Brady. Not saying he will be Brady, but I definitely think he’s a starter in the NFL.

Do it.

Funny enough, I thought to myself when we didn’t take Walker that he was gonna end up in the division and whoop our ass for the next decade… went upstairs to put my kids to bed and came back down to find ATL took him. Never fails.

Damn that is very scary. Hope his sources were poo.

Can’t say I followed enough to make a definitive decision on who I wanted myself. First time ever since I started watching football as a kid… that being said, the defense needs help and bad. I was coming around to Walker just off what I read and his pedigree coming from Georgia, and athleticism. I know he’s considered a tweener, but I saw Micah Parsons say he reminds him a lot of himself. i had looked into Tet when someone mentioned him during the season and was unimpressed from what I saw. And best case scenario, let’s say all of XL, Coker, and Tet develop and become really good to great. Now what? Somebody has to get paid and you aren’t keeping all three when that time comes. But, his hands and route running seem to be natural gifts, so there’s that. And you can’t teach 6’4”… for as good as Coker is, and as valuable as he proved to be in the redzone, he still isn’t 6’4”. So, not a fan of the pick necessarily, but gonna hope for the best as I always do.

Never saw a pic of the marching band cum dumpster. I figured she had to be bad, though.

Idk, Dan’s approach is starting to feel like a lot of the GMs of top-tier franchises - think like the Bills trading for Stefon Diggs. Yeah, he was good, but was he worth what they gave up at the time? And when they felt the returns weren’t worth the investment anymore, they cut ties and move on. The Pats, Chiefs, Ravens, Steelers, they all do it all the time. They swing big and sometimes they hit, sometimes they miss, but the train doesn’t stop - I think the key is, ultimately FA/trades are supposed to supplement your roster in a very targeted way, while the draft is building the core of who you are as a team. As long as we draft and develop accordingly, you can afford these big gambles in trades and FA. It’s what all the best teams do. I’m hoping that’s what we have now with Morgan.

Are we out? Or he just doesn’t prefer us?

Nah, make an offer. I feel like it would make some poo right on a cosmic level.
