Practices start Tuesday and the game will be played Saturday at 1:30pm. A draft site I use predicts roughly 90% of these players will be drafted, mostly day 3, but guys to keep an eye on with those two 4ths and 5th rounder (could trade back for more picks). National roster: https://www.seniorbowl.com/players/national-team/ American roster: https://www.seniorbowl.com/players/american-team/ The defenses are about equal on the guys I want to see. The National roster's offense is lacking, just Chase Brown really. The American's roster on offense is loaded. I expect them to put up some points.

Nice, hit all the need areas.

Guess I'm pulling for the Bengals so we can move up one draft slot with those 49ers picks in the CMC trade. Even with the loss today, the 49ers will have a better record than Cincy if they were to lose as well, but not better than the Chiefs with a loss.

Will Reich be calling plays and have an OC in title only? I could see where taking an OC job where the HC is the actual play caller would be less than appealing.

Bradley's had some petty good defenses when given the parts to be successful. Bradley and Fitterer have a history in Seattle together and may share the same vision for the defensive side of the ball.

Any notable and available understudies in Fangio's tree?

Yeah, but this scenery wouldn't be a bad view either. You know how older folks love their warm weather too.

Chinn would be best as a Sam LB. He can cover, but it's not his best attribute. TEs he should be able to match up with in coverage. Otherwise, keep him down in the box.

Rumors are that just about everyone in the front office in Indy wants anyone BUT Jeff Saturday, however, Irsay is standing by his man. The hope is if the search committee puts enough candidates in front of Irsay, maybe...just maybe, one of them will knock his socks off. Saturday must be one heck of a drinking companion.

I can't imagine the plays getting called in at a normal volume.

Any word on an OC?

Already made this pun earlier in another thread, but what the heck. Queen City/ Frank Reich--> Queensryche

My first choice and I am thrilled!

Tepper is apparently looking for offensive HC and a guy with HC experience. Only Reich and Payton fit the bill. Reich wouldn't cost us any draft capital. So.......

So nobody else? That second round was really short. I have to wonder if they do one more follow up with Wilks and Reich before making the decision. I actually interviewed with a company 4 times, 5 if you count the initial screening interview. It came down to me and another person. The other person ultimately got the spot. That said, I can see one more session with each of those guys...probably virtually, and the decision mulled over the weekend with the announcement coming early next week.,

Detroit is rolling with Goff...100%. Johnson and he clicked and want to run it back, probably the main reason Ben stayed in with the Lions.

Please hire Payton, Broncos organization, before Tepper does something stupid. If there were zero strings attached to Payton, I wouldn't be opposed. The steep buyout and total control is a deal breaker for me.

Houston-rookie Colts-rookie Raiders- FA veteran. Roster is too stacked to wait on a rookie to develop. Falcons-?????????? Who the heck knows. Whispers were they weren't overly impressed with Ridder. Could be a rookie, could be a veteran. Scary enough, we are in the same boat.

Remember how Pederson was an afterthought last coaching cycle and look what he did with the Jags. Stop sleeping on Reich folks.

I like Flowers with the first of the two 2nds. I really want a boundary WR, but there are many more of those than quality slots this draft.

According to the official site, Steichen already has been interviewed. Maybe it was a remote interview and not in person. They only added names interviewed, not speculated. Payton's just got added today.

Yikes, I guess they could cancel, but probably will follow through as a formality.

Is the FO done with the first round of interviews now that Payton's is complete? No more initial ones, just follow up, correct?
