Ah, the old standard; it's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean.

1. Lawrence 2. Wilson 3. Sewell 4. Pitts 5. Fields 6. Chase I'm trading down if none of these guys are available.

The problem is that all the other teams already know he will be cut so why offer any thing of value in a trade? My guess is the day we file the paperwork to cut him, somebody offers a 6th and we take it.

That's where I'm at too but it's mostly about arm length. Those defending him point to the game against Chase Young where he shut him down so it proves he can handle a top tier pass rusher even with the shorter arms. I just don't love a pick in top 10 that feels close to their ceiling already. Slater is already very technical skilled and likely maxed his frame at only 6'3. I wouldn't be angry if they chose him but if Sewell/Pitts/Chase/Fields are all gone, I'm trading down.

If Pitts, Sewell, and Fields are all gone, I'd be happy to get Chase. I'd take Chase over Slater but I would be happy with him too. Slater is the "more safe" option but Chase has much more superstar potential.

Doesn't change the fact that he was paid ~$30 million dollars. My point wasn't criticizing him for what he was paid. It's that he was paid a poo load of money and criticism (fair or unfair) comes with the pay. I'll be happy to be paid 30 million and let people talk poo on message boards about me. Hence the no sympathy.

Yea, I have no sympathy for him at all. He got incredibly overpaid to underperform. As of now, he is still an employee of the team and will still be paid millions by the team. I'd expect him to remain professional even if he his feelings are hurt. That doesn't mean go out of his way to call Darnold but if he is still on the roster during OTAs, I expect him to assist.

He can be both. He is a willing blocker but not great technician yet. And I'm sure he would be flexed in space often. The 3 WR sets with 1 TE backside we ran with Olsen all the time was so effective.

If both Pitts/Sewell fall to 8 (unlikely but this is a message board) what would you do and why? I'm taking Pitts. He is a ultimate game changer and TEs are incredibly important in the NFL right now. I think there are multiple starting LTs in rounds 1-3. But Pitts is so far above any other TE.

If both Pitts/Sewell are on the board at 8, it would be wet dream scenario. I have no clue what they would do.

If Jones goes 3, the odds of us getting Pitts or Sewell go up exponentially. Then it becomes likely Atlanta either takes QB or trades the pick to a QB hungry team. That's what I am pulling for.

Pitts likely won't make it to 8. He will go to Atl, Cincinatti, Miami, or Detroit. All those teams could use an offensive weapon. I'd take Pitts over Sewell or Slater if I was GM. It's a deep draft for OT. And Pitts is an absolute monster. I do agree with a few posters above, the pick will likely be Sewell or Slater.

NYJ have more leverage with teams that might have missed out.

The best news on the Darnold trade is exactly what ForJimmy just said. We can go BPA in the draft and not be desperate. If a QB falls that is on the top of their board, take him. If it's Chase, Pitts, Sewell, Surtain? Take him. I think QB is gonna be drafted 1-4. That means at least 1 of Sewell, Pitts, Chase, Waddle, Slater, Surtain, or Smith will be available at 8. I love all of them. We are gonna get an impact starter or a top talent QB.

Yup. We cannot wait until next offseason to extend DJ.

How do you delete an Instagram message? They are 2 sided messages. I can delete them on my app all day but they are still present on the receiver.

All I know is this whole thing is a mess. It's possible that nobody gets any justice out of this. The women, if allegations are true , may not get any apologies, settlements, criminal proceedings. DeShaun, if innocent, has already had his name completely ruined and potentially lost tens of millions in future revenue. This lawyer has ruined it for both parties by arguing his cases in the court of public opinion and Instagram. Most unprofessional poo I've ever seen.

I would rather have ANYONE except him.

I got it done in September. Surgery took 15 minutes, max. I'd describe it as general soreness, not pain for 2-3 days. And then intermittent soreness as activity increased for a few weeks (especially when first waking up). Only took ibuprofren.

Another element to the story: The lawyer is lying publicly. He stated that he had been in contact with the Houston police and they were looking into it. The Houston Police Department publicly stated yesterday that their had been no contact between them and Mr. Buzbee and were not investigating anything. That doesn't mean the allegations aren't true. But this is poo some weird, murky, stuff.

He just ran a 4.41 So pretty good

I won't condemn him as guilty. But nobody is trading for him at this point. And hard to see him playing the NFL for a while.

Good point.

I don't think the Hardy thing is even close. His accuser had physical injuries and went to the police. This one is way more odd.

Agree. I was surprised they weren't included in the lawsuits. I also want to know why police were never brought in ? The 3rd accusation is surely criminal. *This is not me saying victims are lying. Just a few things that strike me as odd.
