Draft Scuttlebutt.

[TD alt]

I was listening to ESPN Radio, like I normally do, and I heard a few things that some of you may not know, and I'd ask that you post something interesting also (if you heard something). I'll start:

 

First off, Sean McVay wasn't too enamored with the Ty Simpson pick, and why would he be? That was a Les Snead pick. Apparently McVay doesn't have a good poker face at all. He didn't get that impact player to perhaps put them over the top this year, and Stafford may not have been too happy either as the conversation between him and Snead (shall remain "private"). Hell, a lot of Rams may be feeling some type of way. 

Secondly, the Vikings reached hard for Caleb Banks. The DT class wasn't considered great, so maybe they reached out of a great sense of need because they were going to be left out at a position that screamed for an upgrade.

Speaking of left out, the Bills tried to trade back into the first round for KC Concepcion and were obviously unsuccessful. They then tried to trade back into the first for Omar Cooper Jr--another fail! What the hell was Brandon Beane thinking? Some suspect Denzel Boston is a must.

The hometown hosts were on the phone with Makai Lemon, when they were outdone by Howie Roseman. That's an Ostrich egg on the face for Omar Khan.

I think McVay both wanted a player to try to help him win another one with Stafford AND was thinking.... oh great, already been down this road with Goff of a young QB who has everything you want in terms of intangibles but is basically "barely checks the box" level across the board in terms of physical tool set.

Rams fumbled bad. Star receiver in rehab, playoff team drafting a for sure benchwarmer. Coach was pissed, fans pissed, players probably too. I love Puka tho, real life Jonah from Tonga.

McVeigh was close to retiring after '22. There is no way they didn't get his consent to draft Simpson.  I wasn't surprised they made the pick; i was surprised they didn't try to trade back before making the pick but they could have been afraid the Jets or Steelers would grab him first.  They still need a wr but that position is pretty deep in this draft.

McVay is gone when Stafford is Snead was thinking of himself with that one

Pie just for knowing that show.....

I still think they thought fuggit its the Falcons pick so lets just try and snag a position of need. Wouldn't be shocked if they draft another one late like the good ole Browns last year. Stafford is old AF and his back is messed up. Analysis thought he would retire last year. Snead has shown he can find impact players outside of the 1st so he isn't sweating. 

If i was McVay i would've been pissed tho......

This is a bad look for the Steelers and Omar Khan

You never know how these things will work out. I only knew Lemon’s video I didn’t know him so to speak. And I am hearing some things that indicate he could be a problem child.

They could've traded back into the 1st near the end of the round and still had Simpson for the selection. The only thing that might have been an obstacle was maybe they didn't have a trading partner.
