I just hope rhule doesn't fk it up.

Best thing he can do is just sit back and keep his mouth shut and let the rest of the coaches coach. 

Of course i'll say Snow should do the same. Just stay quiet and out of the way.

I didn't come in expecting that we'd be able to do much, but considering what we've done, I'm pleased. To be honest, we could've called it a day last night and I'd have been smiling. I didn't think we'd get Ickey, and I thought we'd have to trade someone (mainly CMC) to put us in position to get Corral on day 2. I wanted Fitt and company to do the right thing and have some discipline even though it was frustrating--tough--to be sitting on our hands and waiting. As far as today, I said it last night, it's all about upside. That includes not only the draftees, but the UDFAs. 

Fitterer is a draft wizard. He knows what he's doing. Accept it and embrace it.

I loved this draft.  If you told me before the draft that we would get Ikem and Corral without giving away a player or sacrificing next years 1st or 2nd, I would have not believed you.  Ikem alone is worth this draft.

I also like the setup in a make-or-break year for Rhule.  The QB was a 3rd rounder, so taking one high next year won't be some huge issue with moving on/keeping as a backup if we eye Stroud/Young/Levis/McCall...whoeever

The line has finally been addressed, and early.  And this is not an Otah situation.  

Our 4th rounder is a pretty big boom-bust, the rest strong developmental types.

Unsure if Darnold or another vet will take the field first but we'll be seeing Corral this year and hey, maybe we found ourselves a mid-round steal.  Never know.

    • We will make it interesting. I think we'll be on a roll by then.
    • Especially glad there's no Thursday games. I hate them. They're dangerous. They really fug up a routine and unless you're team is coming off a bye, they play the game with little rest or prep.
    • Sober. Still feeling it. I really like how the schedule is laid out for us. Perfect for a new HC and rebuilding team. Aside from the Bengals, there aren't  any good teams before the bye. Chargers will be, but they're having to figure poo out just like we are and they'll be coming here for an early game. That one is a toss up. I like our defense against them. I think we'll give the Bengals a fight, but I wouldn't put money on us winning that one. But the saints can be swept. They're beat up and just don't have much going on. They'll be at the bottom of the division. I feel like we will split with the falcons and the bucs. There's nothing scary about the raiders or that washington team. Chicago is another toss up, but they aren't scary either....not yet anyways. We're getting them early in the season so I like our chances. I especially like our defense against a rookie QB. And the broncos....boring. Giants....again, boring. Looking at this, we've got a good defensive thing going on. I think the unit will be better this year a d we're in season 2 of Evero. I like us especially against rookie QBs, and we'll have at least 3 we're facing before the bye. We come in and play smash mouth football and just keep hitting (pounding) away and I think we're competitive. It's that schedule after the bye that scares me. Hopefully by that point they've built up a lot of confidence. You get a scrappy dawg that's got some confidence and a lot of fight in him and you've always got a shot. I think that's what we'll be this year. This year isn't about winning all the games. It's about building confidence and learning what we've got to do. But looking at that later schedule and it's not horrible. We've got the eagles and chiefs....that's scary, but then we've got the cardinals and cowboys at home...and it's the cowboys in December. When have they been scary in December? And we've got division games in there as well. I think we'll do ok. The more I look at it, the better I feel about it.
