USFL and XFL to merge

That's cool. There was some good football to watch in the Spring. The XFL model seemed to work well with the season ending in time for players to attended training camps for NFL teams. And there were lots of players that got the invite and some signed to NFL squads. XFL is also a place for refs to train and transition as well. Overall, it's doing what the Rock and his business partners intended. Looking forward to see this play out.

Thats honestly great.  Add some more teams, and make sure the season ends before NFL training camp.  I like it.

The NFL should come to some kind of farm team agreement so that players can play some spring ball to get experience and develop, then transition to NFL camps.  It just makes sense, but the NFL doesn't want to dilute their brand....Exhibit A - Zach Wilson.  Exhibit B - 2022 Carolina Panthers QB play...  Oh wait?

Well they also don't want to foot the bill for developmental football. They have it for free currently in college. Why would they change that?

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
