Tepper likes hiring Ivy League grads for his hedge fund now family office. Pretty sure Stefanski is an Ivy League guy so this might happen.

Starting with Rhule we adopted this mindset that we could “coach up” players with superior athletic traits. That mindset has failed us every time.

We draft a lot of those guys. Our front office has a type they like to draft. Big, fast, etc. and we don’t pay attention to skill because we always think we can coach athletes up to be football players. It hasn’t worked out once and normally our un athletic UDFAs out play the guys we draft. The only exception we made was drafting Bryce Young. It was the only time we ignored physical attributes. You can’t make all of this up.

So he received no interest from the other 31 teams for training camp or practice squad opportunities. Sounds accurate for someone our team cut.

Fernando!

I forgot all about him but he fits in with our draft history beautifully.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I have found myself doing mock draft simulators earlier each season. I even found myself doing one at halftime during week one this year. I realized I had already thrown in the towel on this season and was looking forward to the draft. I attached a mock draft I did after today’s game, and I’m convinced I could do better than the people running our team.

Thank you

I’m hoping we draft another Mexican named Fernando.

I’m happy about him making all of his XPs and FGs but more impressed with the kickoffs. He’s a weapon if he can continue helping us with field advantage.

Bryce and Mingo were perfect for each other.

I knew Zack in college. He was a great guy and I’m glad to see him doing well.

I can’t remember the last time any coaching staff of this organization ever “coached a player up.” If they didn’t produce in college, I guarantee you, they won’t produce here.

My mom, uncles, aunts, cousins and grandparents went to William & Mary and I grew up going to every home game. I pick Grant in every mock draft at #113. He’s been fun to watch but the William & Mary program has a long line of success in the NFL. I know there’s bias but he would help us.

Traded back from 8 to 14 and picked up pick #45.
