even better

Geepers.. could you imagine.. Trade Motion 1st Round: Draft Will Campbell or Membou Trade 3rd to the Giants for Thibodeaux Trade 2nd to Raiders for Mayer I mean this is playing Madden but then suddenly you come out of the draft -30,000,000 in cap and 3 young players to build around.

Then hit up the Giants who will likely draft Carter and rumor is shopping Thibodeaux and trade a 3rd. Seems too simple..

If this was a year from now and we had already addressed the defense then I could see the reasoning for this. But thats not this year. Also, he has been the best player on the team the last 10 years. Lets respect that he wants to retire here..

Paywall..

I mean, it was pretty funny that they did that.. Then we all learned that Tepper cannot take a joke (or people wearing hats). I fully support people trolling billionaires.

I mean the point was exactly that, that its insinuated that the Tepper's meddled in the draft process. Thus forced the pick to be Young. My point is Young was the best graded player that draft year.

Bryce Young was the consensus #1 pick that year.. Anything else is revisionist history. How some of you have such short memories...

All I hear in this is you dont have enough confidence to change careers.. Like I posted, if you know better than the current scouts, change jobs and make a bag. Im sure you could teach Dan Morgan a thing or two about linebacker play.

Here you go, I did the research for you. Go earn yourself $500,00+ just submit your resume. Entry-Level Scouts: Typically, entry-level NFL scouts can earn between $20,000 to $95,000 per year. These positions are usually reserved for scouting assistants or regional scouts who are just starting out. Mid-Level Scouts: With a few years of experience, scouts can earn between $95,000 to $275,000 per year. These scouts may have more responsibilities, such as covering specific regions or handling advanced football analytics. Top-Level Scouts or Directors of Scouting: Experienced scouts in senior positions can make anywhere from $275,000 to $500,000+ annually. Directors of scouting or player personnel have higher salaries, sometimes approaching seven figures.

Yeah, ok... So if you are so brilliant then why don't you show your scouting reports to teams and get an actual NFL job.. SMH I get so tired of people saying they are smarter than people who hold actual jobs in this industry but just choose to be a small team market internet scout. Come on dude. Also I get how you can say that you would have drafted another player over someone like Brooks. Sure thats a simple argument that one can make without being employed. But your missing all the conversations that lead to that being the pick and why. Picking players in a bubble is not the same as picking it on a team where you have differing scouting reports and feed back from different coaches about how they could be used vs other players with similar grades and those other players could be used. Then put on top of all of that what the team strategy is for the season. Picking players in a bubble is not the same as picking it on a team.

Honestly I've been unexcited about Walker. Im not usually a fan of 'hybrid' players. They rarely workout (all respect to TD) But after watching Luke talk about him... Im all in on him being the pick

I mean I would go if I got an invite... it would be a cool experience, one that almost no one gets. You just need to temper your expectations.

I mean drafting at the best of times is a crap shoot. The entire NFL is not good at it (AKA Brock Purdy). Also we (the Huddle collective) always think we know better. When we drafted "Mrs Rhules" pick, AKA Chuba, the entire collective here thought it was a terrible pick.

I dont know why so many people are worried about this signing. There is literally no risk to the team on this. It a 'throw s#it at the wall and see what sticks" kinda move. Maybe he becomes a great redzone option? Maybe he gets cut before training camp? Shake the tree and see what falls out.
