Oh god he's an anti-vaxxer. On the plus side most great QBs are knobheads, so fingers crossed.

I can't be the only one that isn't bothered? He's a decent player, but if he's angling for a huge contract extension and putting pressure on the team I'd just trade him.

It looks pretty swanky on all the video productions they've been releasing. That said I do wonder about American builders. The Empire State has stood tall for nearly a century, but apparently football stadiums have a 25 year shelf life...

Team built to win now and out of conference. Pretty obvious landing spot, no?

Fantastic. Great to get him out of the division. We're very close to taking over the division now thanks to Brees' retirement.

It always has been - I just think that breaking point isn't Pro Bowler like some would have you believe. They'll want to see a consistent QB who follows instruction and improves week on week. If he's not better in Week 18 than he is in Week 1 we have a problem.

There's no need to knock down a guy to pump up another. Gamble was really, really good. Brown is one of those War Daddy DTs that SEC teams bag up early. He holds everything together in the middle and allows you to dominate the trenches IF you surround him with talent. If Nixon reaches his potential he'll eat next to Brown.

You're not looking for the bottom of the roster to settle. They'll keep bringing in guys off the street to see if someone stands out.

Go watch any other behind the scenes Draft video. Media team is fuging killin' it.

I'd put them in secondary markets that don't currently have NFL teams. So if I had to pick 8: San Antonio San Diego Oklahoma City Portland Memphis Louisville Orlando St Louis

Everything The Rock touches turns to gold. I mean besides Baywatch has he made a good movie in the last decade? Doesn't matter, still the most bankable star in Hollywood. The XFL has a chance to fill that development league niche. They all get into trouble when they try to compete with the NFL - it's a behemoth, you'll be crushed. If The Rock shuts his mouth and knows his role the XFL will flourish.

I guess I'm one of the few fans that doesn't want a Spring league. Or at least wouldn't watch it. I do think there's a role for a minor league / development system in the NFL for guys that aren't the finished article at 22 (Warner, Delhomme, Vinatieri), but with how much football I binge watch between Sept and January, I don't have the appetite for any more.

Thanks for reminding me that we played in SuperBowl 50. I had years of therapy to forget that.

We don't produce any like Morgan these days.

He told Suleiman 2 years at the start then flashed a 5 when discussing money later on the call, but he was blown off.

They had the opportunity to take an OT at #39 and traded out instead. After the ridiculous run on OTs they had the chance to take an OT at #52 and traded out instead. That tells me that they didn't think much of the second tier of tackles in this Draft. The fact that they had discussions about trading back into the 2nd round to pick up Christensen and then ultimately traded up in the 3rd round to secure him suggests they do value the position - and perhaps don't see a huge difference between him and many of the guys that went in the 2nd round. For the record I don't have amazingly high hopes for Erving, but I'm all about the OLine unit as a whole. It was weak at multiple spots last year - I'm hoping with the acquisitions this year we've secured some of those holes. It doesn't have to be a dominant OLine for us to be successful - although obviously we all want one. As for the OT prospects this year - honestly it was a hugely underwhelming class. Darishaw is lazy (but talented), Leatherwood is an amazing physical prospect but can't handle speed, Walker hasn't played for two years etc etc. I think even the 'generational' OT is raw as hell and will probably should at OG this year.

1st overall pick and Heisman Trophy winner? The bar doesn't get any higher coming out of College.

Right now they're gaining a ton of critical acclaim. If we start winning on the field too we become a cool, hot new thing. If we continue to lose we'll be ridiculed. It is what it is.

Judging by social media he's getting rave reviews.

You can keep your comic book. The Draft is about acquiring talent. Free Agency is about addressing needs. Sometimes the two align. If you go into the Draft NEEDING something then 9/10 you're starting off on the wrong foot. As I stated in my previous comment, Fitterer and Rhule brought in two ex-first round picks for the OLine, both of whom are still in their 20s. They're both far more talented, physically, than guys we had in 2020. They then spent an old 'Day 1' pick on a guy they hope can play OT, but are certain can start at OG. Bar ignoring their Big Board and just taking any old OLineman in the first round (we traded down in the second round - evidently we didn't fancy Teven Jenkins or Liam Eichenberg), I don't know how they could have appeased you.

I wouldn't quote the Bleacher Report pretty much ever. That said I loved Kuechly, but I was worried that he was a wrap and drag tackler. I wasn't sure how that'd translate to the NFL where everyone is bigger and faster.

The dude had two first round picks and a second round pick at WR. Not to mention a first round pick at RB. There's only one ball. Moss was an UDFA for a reason.

Did Suleiman ignore Fitterer during that video too, or was it just me?

It's certainly potentially the best group we've ever had. Which, coupled with McCaffrey, really opens things up for Arnold / Tremble to seriously contribute from TE.

That's not what the Draft is for. They didn't even have Slater on the board at #8. Would you rather they reach for a position of need or pick a player that the think is going to be an All-Pro? They picked up contributors all across the board and three rookie OLinemen to add to the shuffle. Added to our two ex-first round OL we picked up in FA and that's five new names on the OLine. They consider Christensen a 2nd round OG off the bat (they'll let him fail at LT first), many had Brown as a Day 2 pick (his discipline around his weight will make or break his career) and Moore looked like one on the better OLineman at the Senior Bowl when they moved him to C. That's a fine haul for one off-season. Get them in the building, work out what everyone does best in TC and see where you stand come Sept.
