41 million for Brate?

Not saying he sucks, but man...

After just spending a first round (top 10?) on a TE.

Na.... Ryan Mallett was way better than Josh Allen.

I work at Gardner-Webb and we played Wyoming this year.  GW is bad---no offense and a small, slow defense.  Talking to an assistant coach after the game--he said he was a man among boys, but his feet were all wrong many times. Overthrew a lot--sound familiar?

I asked him if he relates to Cam--he said he was not impressed with his running ability, so he has the worst of Cam's NFL abilities.  Imagine Cam if he could not run and the defense knew it.  However, Cam's footwork issues are related to the chance that he could run--Allen's are more mechanical--fixable.   FWIW, Wyoming won 27-0. 

I am going to go with Mason Rudolph emerging as the best QB in this draft IF he gets with a WCO.

Think Howard went #18?

I wouldn't mind Rudolph if Voth is right about the Panthers potentially looking for Newton's successor this year

I get the feeling we're gonna have zero.

True.  Although (and I may be wrong) I have not heard any more about Peppers and New England--of course, they keep their communications kinda quiet.

God Tampa is a complete disgrace

You really think Rudolph needs a WCO?

Mayock called him the best longballer in this year's draft. That makes me think Coryell.

Hmmm  lol

Haha, Cam was a man among boys in the SEC and completed 10% more of his passes than JA and also almost double his y/a.  Cam also rushed for almost 1,500 yards, while Allen ran for 200.

Cam's Auburn stats are just silly to look over.  What a monster.

2 days before they can sign, I assume there will be a lot of maneuvering by agents trying to get their guys offers over the next day or so, tomorrow might be crazier than today

I think we keep Ryan for a few reasons but knowing that we are tied to his brother at LT this year we probably don't want to kill whatever motivation he has left.

Here is $20m, Kalil Bros., hope you stay motivated.  Not knocking you--this may be a part of it.  I  would rather play a rookie at LT and save $30m than to watch Matt get rich enough to buy hot babes while Cam limps into the blue tent.

Yeah, I'm not understanding this Allen hype at all. IMO, he he's the one sure-fire slam dunk bust in this draft. I think Lamar Jackson is right behind him, but I'd give Jackson the better odds of the two due to his ability to run and simply playing against higher level competition in college. Ultimately, I think Jackson needs to switch positions at the NFL level.

Jackson disagrees.
