Yeah, when you're having to pitch potential on a COVID bonus year prospect that's a massive red flag. When you didn't show up in college until you were the age of a lot of 2nd or even 3rd year NFL players... uh oh. To put it into perspective, DJ Johnson is only six months younger than Brian Burns.

Yep. Joe Burrow is a unicorn. He's the only guy who fits the mold that I lived as a prospect.

So, this ditch kitty is completely obsessed with running water. Turn on a sink anywhere in the house and he'll come running even if he was fast asleep to try to drink the running water and slap at it. He will try to get into the shower with you. He is also all about climbing into your chest when you're lying in bed and laying all up in your face. Orange kitty wants to snuggle up beside you, ditch kitty wants to lay on you and all up in your face.

CB makes a lot of sense for us.

We have enough needs to honestly just take the best player available with every pick. There's not a position group on our roster where a decent late round pick would struggle to earn a roster spot, sad as that is.

Yeah, I had no idea who DJ Johnson even was then when I looked up that he was 25 years old and had bounced all over the roster with minimal pass rushing experience and production it was a real WTF moment. Just a 100% measurables pick. Which is also why he'd bounced all over the roster in college, just a coaching staff trying to find a fit for a talented athlete with nothing sticking.

No it doesn't. I'd just make the pick if that's the best we could get.

You have what, 18 hours or so to mull it over? You'd be crazy not to field the calls and consider the offers. If I'm a team wanting to move up though, I'm honestly trying to get back into the bottom of the 1st for that 5th year option. But our phone is gonna be ringing. Pick it up.

Gotcha. You mean when we're literally in the clock at #33. I think everyone already understands that. What everyone else is talking about is that we're effectively "on the clock" as soon as the #32 pick is made even though it will be the next day before we are actually "on the clock".

These would be 3-4 DEs for us and I've honestly thought that was quietly one of our sneaky needs.

Of potential possibilities, give me Ladd McConkey and Chop Robinson.

Being the worst team in the league and then not even having the excitement of having the #1 overall pick because we've already traded it away feels like one of the bigger fanbase dick punches possible. Imagine how much worse it's gonna be if Caleb Williams turns out great for the Bears, as far fetched as that seems given their historic struggles at QB.

Why would a team trade for #33 without knowing who's available?

We're gonna be on the clock for a looooooong time at #33. We'd be crazy not to listen to the offers coming in.

I just can't really mock other teams right now when I'm a fan of the reigning worst team in the league. Just doesn't feel right.

I'm just in wait and see mode. I honestly don't think Bryce is it but we're committed to see it out for at least another year so let's just wait and see. It's pretty much all we can do as fans. The types of WRs I see Bryce needing are slot types. Basically quick guys who can win off the LOS and get open quickly. Bryce doesn't have good NFL arm talent. We have to rely on what we drafted him for - his mind. He's gotta process it fast, see it, and deliver it. He needs to be absolutely elite pre-snap. Let's see if he is a super processor because if he's not then he ain't it and we need to figure it out one way or the other moving forward.

Icky projected to be the 9th worst pass blocking LT in the league? Sadly seems about right. Meanwhile, are the Jets planning on playing their punter at LT? A 9? NINE???

I mean, he was a really good college QB. I'll give him that. It's just really tough to evaluate QBs when they're in one of the top programs where they could regularly beat pretty much any non-top 10 team in the country with their backups. The overall team talent disparity is just huge. But Bryce's physical talent concerns translating to the NFL were blatantly obvious IMO.

We had already seen at Bama. That's when the hilarious claim that Bryce was having to carry inferior talent at ALABAMA started up.

It was his biggest weakness in college too. NFL defenses just made it look even worse.

I don't blame Trimble. The guy should've been playing more.

He's just not a fit with Bryce. His strength is going deep. Bryce's biggest weakness is the deep ball.

This. I'll believe it when the results on Sundays changes. Here's to hoping but I'm done believing.

UConn is just the best team in the country by a pretty decent margin. I wonder how much UK is gonna throw at Hurley?

I have no dog in this fight but UConn's coach is making me a Purdue fan for the evening. What a whiny douchebag.
