Here's the way I breakdown draft picks... Top 10 picks I'm expecting a star. Period. 1st rounders and 2nd rounders I'm looking for an eventual key starter who is going to contribute significantly as a rookie (unless it's a developmental QB pick sitting behind a quality vet). 4th and 5th rounders I expect to make the roster and at least provide serviceable depth for awhile and hopefully develop into more. 6th and 7th rounders are flyers IMO. If you get anything out of them, great. But expectations should be pretty damn low.

Yep. Bad teams tend to stay bad in large part because they often squander the premium picks their sucking lands them.

I don't know what happened, I just hope he bounces back strong. I absolutely think he has what it takes to be a top flight NFL DT.

Yeah, Mills is a fairly promising prospect IMO. I really liked the guy and I wouldn't have been shocked if we picked him had he lasted a few more spots.

Hell, if the list kept going I might take anyone from 60-70 over Darnold.

Not sure how this Brown vs. Burns argument came to light anyway. The Burns long-term decision is this year. Brown still has two more years and then a potential third via the fifth year option. There's no pressing decision on Brown at all.

I have two similar sized snapping turtles in my pond. They must both be males or females because no more are showing up. As long as it stays those two I'm cool. But I don't want a whole pond full of them.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Brown bounce back nicely. Seems like everyone has forgotten that he had a pretty promising rookie season. I expect the DL to take a step back in rushing the passer but take a significant step forward stopping the run. Having Reddick and Burns at DE gives you some serious speed to get after the QB with the serious tradeoff that your lacking significantly in run stuffing ability.

The WNC buyer's market is almost all outsiders. The property next door just went for $1.2M to horse nuts from Florida. Zestimate on our place has jumped to almost $650k. We bought it for $380k last year. The 3 bed 2 bath 2000 square foot house on 3/4 acre I sold in CO two years ago is estimated at almost $850k.

There's clearly a reason why he's not getting HC offers. Reid's last OC (Nagy) flopping spectacularly doesn't help his case. But there's gotta be more than just that. He's not interviewing well and/or teams are digging up stuff that turns them off... or maybe they all just find a candidate they simply prefer. Sure seems like there's something else though with as many times as he's been considered and passed over, then again Ron Rivera found himself in that same spot for years before we finally hired him.

At some point it has to. There comes a point where housing is just unaffordable for the masses and the folks planning on bailing out of expensive markets and heading to less expensive markets flush with cash have already made that move.

Identity was a great movie that seems forgotten. Wild Hogs is still one of my favorite bad movies.

It is impossible not to contribute to oil companies in some manner in today's environment. That's just reality. But there's a big difference between that and being an active stockholder. You can't with any shred of intellectual honesty claim to give a single fug about the environment while holding big oil stock in the same way that you can't claim to give a single fug about improving our broken healthcare system while holding big pharma stocks.

We're probably already in a housing bubble. I don't see the harm in throwing an '09 style mortgage crisis on the bonfire.

Won't surprise me. This administration has low key been a fuging disaster domestically.

The world would be auch better place if everyone followed that model. I have a Tesla driving solar powered home greenie to the core buddy who was bragging about the money he'd made trading big oil stocks. I'm like, wait... WHAT?! He absolutely could not comprehend that buy owning the stocks he's complicit.

I love how people will bitch about big oil, pharma giants and other predatory types of big business but then they'll own the stock. I've always despised the hypocrisy of acting as if your hands are clean when you're holding the stock. "I'm just an investor, I don't support the company." Nope. Doesn't work like that. If you own the stock, you're complicit. Period. I'll hop off my soapbox now.

Darnold may be smart and just not see the field like a QB. Corral may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but my have a good football mind. We'll see.

Yep. I mean, there are plenty of people with talents at something that makes good money that suck it up and do it for the check. Pro sports provide one helluva check.

I think the roster is moving the right direction but as long as Rhule is the head coach I'm going to remain unconvinced that the overall organization is headed in the right direction. The guy has just shown zero signs that he can be a competent NFL coach, much less an actual good one.

I'd value Tepper's opinion one helluva lot more on this matter than I would on literally anything related to football.

Well, to be fair his Wonderlic score suggests he might have a room temperature IQ so there's that to consider as well.

Hey yo, am I gonna be married to baby hands at QB?
