Folks, your argument about Jones is crazy.  He puts the ball where it needs to be when it needs to be there.  Period.  How can you criticize that?  If he was protected, he should be.  If he had good WRs?  He should have--that is not a criticism.  You act like Lance and Trevor did not have weapons or an OL.  I have been saying this for months--he gets it done and it ain't pretty, but if you watch the tape--when he throws the ball (before the WR is open) that matters.  Yards after the catch are not WR stats--they are QB stats because the ball arrived before the window closed and the WR caught it in stride.  You are ignorantly bashing the national championship QB who has the highest completion percentage in NCAA history and averaged 349 yards per game.  Take Trevor, Fields, Lance, or Wilson and put them behind center in Bama, and they probably do WORSE or no better.  Damn.  So he can't run.  Not a RB.

He has been meeting with different teams and discussing playbooks/play calls etc...  I heard he met with one a month ago with many in between and when the followed up with him he could recite the exact plays they run/tendencies etc... He is a football junkie like Luke who has a crazy memory (possibly photographic). This was from the Pat McAfee Show, I wasn’t high on him at first, but he should be solid in the right system.

Looks like based on the current rumors (with Pitts looking destined for Atlanta, Chase to Cinci and Smith/Waddle to Miami) that the Panthers at 8 should have a high probability of drafting either Fields or Sewell.  If the Patriots do trade up in front of us at 7 with Detroit for Fields,  we will literally have one of the best LT prospects in a long time staring us in the face.  Cant wait for thursday.

Hope you’re right but I still can’t see the bengals passing on Sewell

If the Falcons stay at 4 and take a TE with the kind of offers they have received, I think they are genuinely silly. 

Unless they don't view him as a tight end. He could also be seen as a big receiver. He's almost exactly the same size as Megatron. The fact that there are Julio trade rumors might give this even more merit. Remove the TE from in front of his name and add the letters WR. Does it still sound silly?

It just doesn't seem like the year to be getting in to the inflated market for the QBs that are there.  High demand doesn't make them better prospects.

When you are Belichick, though, you have the idea that you can turn anyone into a multi-ringed Super Bowl champ. History is beginning to show that it might not have been Bill that was ringing the bell, though.

Still, if he sees something or someone he wants, there's no GM in his way to stop him from making that trade. At least no GM in his office that'd do it, there are some GMs out there that'd do anything they could to stymie him.

Is this a veiled threat lmao

Over the years, I've seen some pretty wild non-answers from coaches and GMs desperately trying to avoid saying anything about their draft plans.

But up to now, I don't recall anyone else questioning the continued existence of the entire world to get out of giving an answer.

This one takes the cake.

Will the Panthers actually take Justin Fields if he's there is the question..Schefter now saying there is a 95% chance he's available at pick 7, which means unless Detroit trades out (which isn't high odds according to Peter King) the chances of him being available for the Panthers are extremely high.  I hope they do!

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
