No. I hear there's going to be an elite DE for us at 6 that makes total sense.

Big boy ballet. Good stuff. I'll be watching.

Finding a college QB to run a college offense is relatively easy with NFL talent. Granted we have a new NFL level OC but we still have a college coach, so no.

Even if Baker was performing at an Alex Smith level in KC, if a talent like Watson comes available, you go after him. Watson can likely get you to a SB repeatedly, and that's what the ultimate goal is.

Draft Thibs at 6, trade Burns to Philly for 16 and next year's NO 1st. Draft Penning or whoever slides out of our top 10.

If we do roll with Darnold and he drastically improves, it's not going to be a one year wonder. In order to improve, we're going to actually be able to see on film Pre snap reading of defenses will improve Calm footwork after the snap Quick progression through his receivers Willingness to hang in the pocket instead of quick routes Ability to dissect changes in defense week to week Those are things we don't see right now. If he improves to the point he's asking for a $30 million a year contract, those improvements are going to be crystal clear. If they aren't, let someone else pay the price and enjoy our 3rd round comp, unless we screw that up in FA.

And therein lies the problem. Rhule can't be the expert at every single position. You have to trust your position coaches. If Campen says BC should start at LT, he should start. Otherwise why bring these guys in to begin with. Let them do their jobs and stop micromanaging everything.

In his 1st year, Chinn looked like the DROY. Hell, he would have been if Young hadn't been such a big name pre-draft. He had that much of an impact on games. He may not have always made the play but he definitely impacted how opposing offenses were run. Last year, it wasn't that he was invisible, he just didn't have that kind of impact on the field. He was an average FS making lots of tackles behind a bad front 7. That was a bad move by coaching staff. He has never been a FS. He should be at SS where his skills are better suited.

He's not eating crow. He doubled down on a shitt sandwich.

My Sundays are going to be well spent playing some really nice courses with good friends and good liquor.

From what you've heard, do they have him rated higher than Zion Johnson? I've seen Johnson's value climbing into the late 1st round, and he's the top ranked hybrid I've seen on a lot of rankings.

Very true. Unfortunately we just don't have the draft capitol to gamble this year, especially at 6. Not playing a lot of our draft picks from last year has really hurt us because we have no idea what we do or don't have. Last year's failure was much larger than the record reflects.

That's just as worrisome as a LT with sloppy footwork. Some things you can just look at and say stay the hell away from this guy.

We got lucky Daniel Snyder wanted Haskins so badly. He forced them to take him ahead of us then Sweat with their 2nd first round pick. I remember wondering what the hell Washington was thinking when they took Haskins knowing they needed a DE.

With Rhule as HC, I don't think there is. This team is extremely dysfunctional right now and it starts with our HC. Who (other than Tepper) can look at the way our team has been running the last 2 years and honestly say that Matt Rhule is going to turn this franchise around and build a winner?

Finding any offensive linemen who is serviceable as a backup in the 6th is ok in my book. It's about what I would expect in that round. A warm body that can play a game here and there but not a guy you expect to start week to week.

If we hadn't already invested so heavily in Darnold and given up our 3rd this year for Henderson, I wouldn't be so against taking a chance on one of these guys. But we really can't afford to do that now with all the holes that we need to fill. Unless we get one of the top 3 tackles, the move needs to be a trade back and recoup some picks just to recover from the debacle that is that trade and 5th year option.

The fact that if Burns hadn't been available the pick would have been Little is a relief and makes you want to throw up at the same time. We had so much opportunity in that draft and blew it on Greg Little and Will Grier.

Easy enough to do. Entertainment and business combined into one venue. That's what a good tax accountant is for.

Nyah. Just tired of being promised champagne and caviar and getting Boones farm and twizzlers.

There's some truth to that about trade value. Without clear class elite talent, it's possible picks go for less. I don't think 24 and a 2nd would do it for 6, but I don't think that kind of move would take 2(3) 1sts and a 2nd either.

I don't see this year our 6th pick having as much value as most other years. Minshew, 15 and a 2nd would be a good trade for us I think. If there were clear leaders in the draft class, I'd say 15, 18 Minshew and a 2nd or 3rd, but I don't think this class warrants that kind of value in a trade.

Dream: Trade 6 for Minshew, 15 and a 2nd. Trade 15 for 20 and pick up an extra 3rd and 4th. Take Penning at 20, Muma or Zion Johnson (big dream) with the 2nd, add a FS in the 3rd, 4th best C available. Nightmare: Detroit calls and bluffs Rhule into giving up 6 and next years 1st for Pickett.

I think it's too early to say what BC is either way simply because he hasn't been given the opportunity to start at LT with any consistency. Could be a wasted pick or he could be a solid LT. Unfortunately right now we don't know and aren't in a position to really gamble on him being the answer. He probably had a really rough year trying to play 4 positions on the line, especially going from tackle to center.

The really sad part is he was better than Irving in preseason. He should have been starting day 1, or at least a couple of weeks in.
