Man I'd love to be in an NFL War Room - a) cos that'd be a fun career and b) cos it'd be great to see all the opinions flying around. I'm such a 'floor' guy that players like Walter Little just aren't on my board until laaaaate. Farley has a bunch of injury concerns so I wouldn't be high on him either. Someone like Darrisaw I'd have had to speak to everyone who's ever coached him and probably had a psychologist have a chat with him too. Dude does 'just enough' on every play. I'd want to find out what that is about 'cos he has the physical / technical skills to play LT in the NFL at a high level. He's the Ying to Teven Jenkins' Yang. To me the late rounds are where you take the fliers on potential. Early rounds I want the most productive, technically sound players that tick the boxes athletically for their position.

Especially considering their killer QB evaluation was a "fug, that guy's still available in the 6th round? Yeah, go'on then let's throw a dart at the board and see if he sticks".

Why do this to yourself?

I mean I've literally watched every College snap of his. I doubt he played at 250lbs at Miami - I'd bet that's Pro Day weight. To me he's an H-back type TE (lines up in the backfield at times / put him in motion). Jonnu Smith is a good size comparison for him. I don't think he's as good as Njoku (who's misused in Cleveland - I'd LOVE to trade for him) or Herndon. I don't think he's as good as Mallory either - but then I like my TEs who can play above the rim. That said, he's dynamic, for a TE, when he gets the ball in his hands and a willing in-line blocker. He'll carve out a good career somewhere in the NFL. He'd be the best TE on our roster - but ideally he'd be your H-back / 2nd TE rather than the main guy. A 3rd round pick is fair value for him and, in the right system with the right QB / OC combo, he'll be a problem.

Nah.

Yep, zero interest in picking up a CB with 1 year remaining on his contract. At least as a major piece of the trade.

FFS these heartless stats guys piss me off. "ThE pAnThErS nOt BlAtAnTlY tAnKiNg WaS a MiStAke" fug off. You play to win the game.

It's an absolutely fantastic movie.

As I understand it nothing about his salary next year was guaranteed. It was essentially a 2 year deal.

I hope he absolutely bombs in Denver. fug that franchise.

Cos he's undersized and has never stayed healthy enough to play a full season.

8-3 last year. Baby steps in the right direction.

And that's worse than skinny jeans and ankle socks? I think not.

If I was a GM I'd constantly be running mole hunts. "Oh there's rumours that we like Lance? Well I only told our SE regional scout that. Sharon, have HR draw up his P45".

Jose Borregales it is then.

Still think you're wasting Pitts if you ask him to play as an in-line TE.

It's got to be an American trait to root for your team to lose, right?

To be fair to the Panthers they took a HoF talent in the first round and an All-Pro talent in the second round. Clearly they were feeling it that year.

Players like Smith are why I don't talk in absolutes when it comes to Draft prospects. You just never know.

I don't have an agenda against Bridgewater. I thought it was a good signing at the time and I thought his play throughout the season was fine - albeit it dropped off significantly once he returned from injury. That said it's clear the coaching staff have mentally moved on from him. Something has gone on behind the scenes.

Part of the reason why Bradbury was never considered elite was because QBs weren't afraid to throw his way. He was zero threat to turn the ball over. It matters at the next level when QB play improves.

I mean Smith held a grudge for years. Williams still hates us. It's a business until it's not. We've shat on Bridgewater publicly all off-season.

It's not THE GUY or bust. It's a calculated low risk - high reward gamble. I think he can be the guy, but I'm not privy to all the information our Front Office is. The Bridgewater situation is toxic so they couldn't find go into the 2021 season with him as the only viable starting option at QB.

You keep him and let him compete for the starting job. I'd still trade Bridgewater.

I've never seen him play (or at least if I've stumbled across a Gamecocks game I've never noticed him), but 2 career INTs makes me do a double take. Surely you want a playmaker at CB?
