Taking a 25 year old who’s going to sit his whole rookie season due to injury in the first round? Thanks but no thanks.

Hooker was back on the field doing drop back drills two days ago.  I don't see him missing the season.  He may not be 100% for camp, but I think he's got a chance to play.

Texans, a bad team with holes everywhere and just took a rookie QB who needs time to learn NFL offense playing for a raw, young coaching staff, trading their first rounder next year to move up for a defensive end

They could have traded up to 6-9 range for Wilson or Carter instead and not given up the 1st round pick

There's a very high chance that pick is top 10, they basically have to win the division now

Instantly lost the draft for them

Texans have a poor oline (other than Tunsil), poor wide receivers, and no one to mentor CJ Stroud unless you think his backup Davis Mills is that guy.  Bryce is in a much better position. I see CJ's first year mimicking Justin Field's and that will not be pretty.

I would put the Falcons as a "bomb".

I get it, Bijan was the top rated RB, but have teams not learned that you just don't take RBs in the top 10? We had the most versatile RB in the NFL, and didn't win games. Saquon Barkley's team never does sh*t. Derrick Henry had some of the craziest seasons from a RB EVER, and only got to the AFC championship once. Dalvin Cook teams never did anything. Jonathan Taylor one of the best backs in the league, his teams never do anything. Not to mention, even if he DOES ball out, then you have to pay a RB top dollar on his next contract, and we've seen first hand how that works out.

SO GLAD the Falcons didn't take Jalen Carter lol

Yup.  I hope we never shell out a high draft pick or huge contract to a RB ever again.  Productive RBs are a dime a dozen these days, and you can find one in undrafted free agency.  The skill drop off between a first rounder and a seventh rounder is not that big today.

The Texans were easily the #1 winner, drafting elite players at the two most important positions. Only time will tell if they’re able to successfully utilize them.

 

On paper the Eagles did really well, but one of the biggest red flags to me is if your college coaching staff doesn’t speak highly of you and Carters whole coaching staff hated him apparently.  

 

All of our division rivals failed at drafting this year, the only caveat being yea Bijan is good but not as good as CMC and we saw how much success he helped us have.  A top ten RB better be Eric Dickerson and Barry Sanders rolled into one.  
 

And I dunno wtf Detroit thought they were doing. Probably the worst first round of anyone. 
 

The Bills also did well, only one pick but they navigated the board well and got a stud TE by trading ahead of the Cowboys who most likely would have taken him. Bonus points for screwing dem boys.

    • Poverty franchise behavior.  If you don't like him as a 3rd rounder then why'd you draft him there?  As others have said, they likely found out some new information and have buyer's remorse. Our FO didn't give DJ Johnson a hard time for being a bad pick.
    • Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in a old building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way in efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.
    • There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
