Thanks but I fully am aware of the difference. It is a bit embarrassing that I was paying so little attention but there are more egregious examples of poor grammar on this board than a few missed homophones for you to chase down.

They're doing their best to get there. 

Did I pass Teach?

Something we've never done before is happening this year.  Got it. 

Considering how bad we've been, for so long now, maybe breaking the cycle is a good thing.

Anyway, the Tet haters should be thrilled with this 40 time. As a Tet believer, I at least believe it should put him in play at 8 for us as another option if our guys are gone. That 40 puts him in play at 4.

I hope we actually throw a pump fake this year and do something unexpected but for years now our first round picks have been highly telegraphed and the more head scratching the prospect we love is, generally the more accurate the rumors of smoke.

Sad, but true. Still, I hold out hope that we can be champs rather than chumps.

We've been left holding the bag since 2019 now. It's time to find someone else to talk into taking it.

Some teams meet these kids off the radar, after events, or in unreported meetings and know they're awesome.  We don't really know who or how long some of them have been vetted.  And that goes back to the college season, after/before games.  

Back when, I remember listening to an ex-GM on a pod about how he used T30 on guys that look solid on tape but want to make sure they're not a nutjob. after hearing rumors.  So they butter them up, take them out, see how they are with their guard down.

I never understand what the Teppers do, except I understand that it hasn't been working out so far. So, maybe a change is necessary.

Here's the deal. I'm saying that if Warren is there at 8, we will take him. Your side of the argument wins if ANYONE else is taken there and Warren is still available. It's a wash if Warren is already gone.

Simple. Let's see how it shakes out.

I wouldn't be pissed if it was Mykel Williams but Shemar Stewart HARD PASS. Sick of the 'tweener light in the loafers type

I guess there's no point of trying to put up smokescreens or mislead teams when you're about to draft someone they didn't have on their board until another 20+ picks go by. LOL

I think interviews are so critical for the early round picks because all of the 1st round talent has the athletic ability but lots of them can't handle the fame, money, and are not willing to approach/work like a professional.  This stuff isn't reflected in the draft boards and I trust Morgan for any defensive player.

I feel like, because it’s true, EVERY draft this team goes for the ‘versatile’ dudes, and have no idea why they never seem to hit. Every year. 

If they would just draft NFL ready/almost ready, non-tweener guys from the powerhouse teams, they would take a gigantic step.

Just go BPA, but they can’t help themselves… every year they overestimate their talent and convince themselves that they’re only a few pieces away. They reach in the draft to fill the perceived need, only to realize that they’re paper thin depth wise because they’ve filled the team with years of tweener reach picks. 

Just stop the madness. When it’s your turn, get the guy who is most likely to go all-pro, regardless of the position. All pro dudes raise the level of play of everyone else. Get that guy.

They said the same about Burns.
