Now. I've been saying it for 2 years now.

That has shifted my view a bit. If it's been provable that he was already on his way and didn't even know the gun was in his car, that goes a long way...

I feel like this is a very fair assessment. It's kind of where I'm at... once the NBA rigged the lottery in favor of one of their storied franchises again and we ended up with the fuging shitty ass consolation prize ONCE AfugINGGAIN. From Okafor to MKG, I'm tired of the poo. And we go from a generational talent, possibly once in a lifetime player in VW, to oh, do you want one of these regular ass, coddled, AAU primadonna kids with huge holes in their game? So I once I knew we lost out in the #1 pick (again), I lost all interest. This is the least I watched, read, or listened to anything leading up to the draft. So, once I started hearing things involuntarily about the draft, and Miller came up, I was like, "Wait, isn't that the guy that was involved in that murder?" But, as a kid myself who was often judged by the company I kept, who made mistakes, who was viewed as a "punk," or a person from the wrong side of the tracks, I try to be objective about these things, but man... someone asking you to bring them their gun in a public place? Furthermore, discussing it afterwards and seemingly not aware of the gravity of the situation aside from "it almost ended my career." Nah bro, a young mother was killed, in part, because of your involvement, fug a career. So, once I started reading more about him as a player, him saying he looked up to Paul George over guys like LeBron and MJ, and I was just kind of over it. As far as the involvement with the crime, I think he had much more of an idea of what was going on than what the investigation showed. Again, as a guy that hung around places and people I shouldn't necessarily have been growing up, you tend to get a good read on what people are on - their disposition, their vibe, their intentions, etc. And again, if someone I already feel is kind of shady asks me to bring them their gun while they're out in public (which is ridiculous in the first place bc I wouldn't be toting someone else's gun anyway), then I already know some poo is happening whether they told me or not. So, at worst, he knew and was involved. At best, he is extremely naive and immature. I'm not really happy with either and feel like ultimately he is going to go the way of solid role player with a limited ceiling, like all of our other consolation #2 picks have been, if he doesn't end up having any off-court problems anyway. I'm more excited about Nick Smith, honestly.

I disagree. Clete Blakeman deserves to die of syphilis.

Still crazy with how obviously bad it was that the ownership let it continue for as long as it did.

It's a damn shame the amount of talent wasted by Rhule and his dumbass staff. TMJ should've been playing all along when healthy. We saw the same thing with Laviska too. Even Foreman. Laviska, pound for pound, may be my favorite player on the roster, tbh... dude is just a fuging force and he honestly should be given as many touches as possible because he just makes plays.

Crazy Ngakoue is only 28. Damn, seems like he's been around a long time now. I wouldn't have thought he was younger than Floyd.

Omg, I called Rejzohn on the first page!!!! I knew he had traits we like, but I didn't think we would actually get him. Awesome!!!!

I would love to get Rejzohn Wright from Oregon St, if he's available. Not sure what happened once he got to Oregon St., but followed him since Last Chance U. as much as I could and I think his size and athleticism fit Fitt's M.O.

Damn. Welp. fug it. It was a good 3 picks, eh?

Getting back in early for Washington just makes too much sense doesn't it?

It fits the mold of what Fitt has been doing in the mid-late rounds since he took over and I love it. He gets guys who are freak athletes with size for their respective positions and because of their production, or lack thereof in college, they're considered projects. But, look at a guy like Barno last year. He was an absolute baller in the preseason, and under a competent coaching staff earlier in the year, he definitely would've gotten more looks... he finally started getting burn under Wilks and, again, looked very impressive - and that was as a rookie edge with a slight frame. The sky really is the limit with these type of guys... now imagine Johnson and Barno developing into their physical abilities under NFL coaching and having them rotating in and out as edge rushers with Burns, Luvu, etc. They're building something fierce. This might be my favorite pick so far. Yes, it's risky, but it's the 3rd round and dude has first round talent, that if realized, could be one of the big steals of the draft.

I never really felt like Von or Ware were dirty. Von himself said he never tried to injure QBs because he respects the game and understands they are what drive the game, so he took pride in sacking them and doing it cleanly. Ware always struck me as a pretty classy player/person as well. The cheap shots on Cam that I mostly remember were from their bum ass, flash in the pan guys like Wolfe, Marshall, and rotational rushers. I have always respected Von as a player and a talent, but I can say that while also professing my absolute disdain and utter hatred for the Broncos as an organization, the NFL, Goodell, and his bitch ass henchmen known as officials. I can separate players I respect from that shitbag organization that stole a fuging Superbowl from us and still wish that organization to be a complete fuging hellhole for eternity. fug Denver. fug the NFL. fug the refs. fug the Broncos, and fug their fans. Oh, and fug artificial turf.

Still hoping this is the ultimate smokescreen with Young and AR is the pick.

And it's significant to a elephant that's been sitting in the room in Charlotte for a few seasons now... https://www.instagram.com/reel/Crjc18JNlwW/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I will hope for the best, but I just don't see it. I called Luke and Cam before we ever even made those picks and believed 1000% when I called those that they would be the transcendent, generational talents that they were. I also called busts like Butler, KB, etc. I just don't see it in Young. I don't believe in the pick. There are a lot of positives about his game, but there also, imo, an equal amount of holes in it, and the height is something that will have to be schemed around and the fact that the stats lay out that he struggles to make one of the most important throws in pro football with any consistency, and I just think there is huge bust potential. But, we'll see... *shrugs*

After the offseason we had, this is such a fuging let down.

We're really gonna fug this up. Smh. Just wow.

Just thought and posted the same. That is a ton of maintenance and calories.

Yeah Jordan Gross did the same. It's amazing how much of that weight they play with is excessive. That's crazy how the weight he and a lot of these linemen. Drop to after retirement is their natural walk-around weight.

We're really gonna blow this, aren't we?

Yup, and again, as the advanced stats pointed out, he struggled the most out of all of the top QB prospects in completing throws to the sidelines... combining that inability with the troubles he'll have seeing over NFL-sized lines for the middle of the field throws, then I just don't see the appeal.

If we take young, we are about to fug this up so bad.

In my mind, it's Stroud or AR. People hating on AR, and I've seen people insult him for his inaccuracy when the Josh Allen comparisons have been made, which is hilarious because Josh Allen threw like poo against weak ass competition... AR had his issues playing as a first year starter on a not-what-it-used-to-be Florida squad talent-wise, in a pro-style offense against the toughest opponents in the country, and if you nitpick his games against their lesser opponents, he still had all the other issues to deal with I already mentioned. He has beautiful mechanics, ridiculous athleticism, and as many analysts have revealed in studying his tape, he made big strides in his processing and ability to read defenses as the year went on... if we took him, the sky is the limit with our staff. His weaknesses can be refined, his strengths can't be taught or learned. That's a tough combination to beat.
