Now that is a spicy scenario

@Ivan The Awesomenice thread I’ve been wondering how we could realistically get back into the 2nd or 3rd without trading down or mortgaging the future (a ton) If we like a guy that will be more day 1 impact than a 4th, then maybe it’s the 2022 4th packaged with a 2023 3rd. Yeah it just keeps taking away future picks but that’s be a way to mid round 3 top-75 pick that may fall/we have pegged as a 2nd rounder type OL. I mean, if it’s 2 OLs in the top 70ish and we still have our 2023 R1 & 2 then I think that’s the most I’d mortgage with a potential lame duck coach. Then factor in 1 better FA lineman signing and that’s 3 brand new Ol additions for a 2023 QB to have back him.

Do think the AFC is a bit more wide open. I think GB is going to be hard to beat with the offense finally clicking and the D/Jaire being healthy again. D Campbell has been awesome for them. AFc wise, Chiefs, Bills, Pats, they all have looked shaky at times but the team that’s proven to be the hardest to beat at their best (and has had the most impressive wins) is the Bengals. Their ceiling is the SB

Drop them in here. My predictions--> Super Wildcard AFC: (3) Bills over (6) Patriots (2) Chiefs over (7) Steelers (4) Bengals over (5) Raiders NFC (2) Bucs over (7) Eagles (3) Cowboys over (6) 49ers (4) Rams over (5) Cardinals Divisional AFC: (4) Bengals over (1) Titans (3) Bills over (2) Chiefs NFC: (3) Cowboys over (2) Bucs (1) Packers over (4) Rams Championships Bengals over Bills Packers over Cowboys SB Packers over Bengals

Good for the dude. A nice note on a weird as hell season.

It seemed unique and an all-in approach on building a stalwart defense, but that all-D draft in 2020 definitely set things back. Unsure it makes sense to do this 1st year D, 2nd year O approach. Just build with the best suited talent you find available. Brown, YGM, & Chinn were awesome to grab and I won't lie, a lot of us liked that haul; buuut Pride & Kenny Robinson being our mid-rounders could've been some offensive talent. Hell, those rounds produced Tyler Biadasz for the Boys, some good guards and WRs. Just seems unbalanced. Hoping they don't purge too much 2023 assets

Oh true true. Horn is a future staple for the team and I’m not mad about that one bit. I’ve mentioned a bit but my bigger gripe is what we missed in round 2 given we took Horn. Could’ve easily had immense value in Cosmi, Radunz, etc. who met our measurables. Considering how they utilized their second round WR in Marshall, it would’ve made so much more sense to grab that awesome Cinci guard or Cosmi. The thing is we’ve got a coach who basically walked into the shooting range here when it could’ve easily been a simple fan tempering moment.

I love rope

So it’s this stage for Hepcat then i kid I kid

I said board and prognosticators And Horn was barely in the conversation up until about a few weeks before the draft. CB was a huge need but it doesn’t discount that there was a large group that were Slater proponents including myself. I get what you’re doing but yes, balancing BPA and a need is what the draft is all about. I just favor lines over skill positions when it comes to drafting. So agree to disagree because you’re clearly taking this to the inth degree.

I recall much of the board and prognosticators (even reliable ones) strictly projecting OL and QB to us. CB was nonexistent until maybe 2 weeks leading up to the draft where people got wind we loved both Horn and Surtain. It’s a bit of a stretch to say people were happy about the Horn pick. Many mocks had Slater or Fields. The bigger argument was if Slater was on the same tier as Sewell as many claimed Sewell was some generational prospect. People accepted Horn around what you spoke to of him being so high; I mean he was the first defender off the entire draft board. Took me a while to stomach. It’s always a balance of need v bpa. It just weighed a bit more on the bpa side. I do agree the general consensus was high on Brown. Respect playing devils advocate midst the poo throwing but it’s there for a reason.

What was the intent behind this appearance? Like why show the public your excuses and ineptitude? This is the one thing where less is more and it’s to soften the poo flying around. Speak to your decisions being the right ones and stand by what you’ve done. He just made it all so much more dramatic and ridiculous.

Our analytics department is really Toby in HR

They technically have, this POS salad is what we got. They brought in basically everyone minus CMC, Moton, & DJ Moore. Just drafted 2 WRs, 2 OL, 1 TE, 1 RB Signed Arnold, Erving, Elflein, Doubled down on CMC, Robbie, Darnold (who accounted for a 2nd, 4th and 6th) That’s 9 draft picks worth and a lot of decently priced contracts. They’re just really bad or oft injured players.

That overall QB stat is

Fire Matt Rhule

A bit redundant Sax but for real. We are in such a bad spot. Can’t believe we’re letting him try to fix his own created mess another year (which will no doubt just create more of a mess for 2023)

It would be one thing if Brady was some alarmingly T. rex of a man but he really isn’t that much smaller than Gross as you and others have pointed out. And some of the best LTs (Jason Peters immediately comes to mind) we’re undersized arm length wise.

True. I just don’t think Rhule was the type of guy to take that approach with. Tepper seems to prefer a one-man show over a dynamic duo so hopefully post-Rhule we find someone that can operate in this capacity more effectively.

Yeah. My best guess is we treat the GM as the head of scouting. At the end of the day, Rhule can veto the FA or draft selection. Once Rhule gives the yay on a FA, Sal gets to work. It’s the Rhule show. That’s why I think Fit was a bit coy in his presser.

Yeah it’s a crap QB market and those seem to be the type they’d try to fall to if Darnold continues to sh*t the bed. The OL1 or die crowd better prepare themselves.
