That Is one long ass link

[LinvilleGorge]

I know it's not gonna happen but I really wish we'd just come out and say who we're picking so that I could start convincing myself that guy is gonna be great and all these other guys are gonna bust.

I do wonder if they will announce before the draft?  It’s not like we need to put up a smokescreen

I wouldn't be surprised if the league has added some rules to stop teams from announcing the 1st draft pick before the draft. 

The mystery makes for a better tv program and gives the anchors something to talk about for 20 minutes.

Do you think Stroud is just afraid to take the hit? He plays so well, but when then you'll see him within the pocket with the littlest bit of pressure and he'll sail the pass. There's this play and another one a bit later that almost is intercepted.

I was going to make that same comment a few days ago. Sometimes it looks like he’s legitimately afraid of contact

I think it's easier to get someone to feel more comfortable with pressure and taking hits than it is to get someone to avoid contact.

Guys like Cam were impossible to get that thru their heads because they're just not wired that way, no matter how often you beat it into them, when push comes to shove, they're going to deliver or take the hit, like Josh Allen has a tendency to do.

If Stroud was blatantly afraid of contact it would be one thing, but a few instances here or there, that's not as much of a concern, especially as he grows older and gets more comfortable in the NFL.
