  1. Useless nugget... a good childhood friend of mine was married to the guy who wrote that song at the time he wrote it.
  2. IMO we've already made our big move up this year. I don't think we should he spending additional draft capital to end up with fewer picks at this point. I still don't rule out Chinn being dealt.
  3. From watching him play. I don't question his ability to generate velocity or go deep in a clean pocket. But that doesn't always happen in the NFL. I don't know if I've ever seen him throw a rope or go deep with pressure in his face. It's a legit concern.
  4. His and Mahomes' ability to throw on the move is just unreal. Those two guys can seemingly throw the same all running, falling away, whatever as they can standing in a clean pocket. It's a big part of their game and what makes them elite. Mahomes clearly has the bigger arm, but they share that same off platform ability.
  5. We hope. I'd be lying if I said I was certain about it though. I think Burrow's arm is quite a bit better. Young's reliance on winding up and stepping in concerns me.
  6. I don't think the concerns about Young's arm are zero. I think his arm is average at best at the NFL level. Watching him play he needs time to wind up and step into the throw to generate velocity or go deep. I'm excited about his potential and if our staff is completely sold on him then I have confidence he'll translate but the physical concerns are real as hell.
  7. We don't trade up to #1 if we were holding out any hope on Matt Corral.
  8. Don't let bad fans ruin your own fan experience. There will always be certain elements of any fanbase that are just insufferable.
  9. I never fell in love with any of them. I have huge concerns about Young's size. I have concerns about Stroud in terms of dealing with pressure and what he'll look like when his team isn't hands down more talented than the oppositions. I have concerns with Richardson's lack of college production and throwing mechanics.
  10. I was excited as soon as we traded to #1 knowing we'd have a young QB that we were committed to building around. Am I worried about Young's size? Hell yes I am. But I said I'd trust this staff to make the right call and hope for the best and that's what I'm gonna do. There's no perfect prospect in this draft. It's not like we're bypassing an Andrew Luck type prospect.
  11. I honestly don't care what the Texans decide to do. We root for a losing franchise that has no shortage of tremendous blunders but even our fanbase is justified to look toward Houston and mutter "damn... at least we aren't THOSE guys."
  12. There's nothing sneaky about it. This is the best TE class in years.
  13. It probably just came down to that no one was willing to trade literally anything for him. So yeah, just bring him to camp and see what he can do. I honestly think he still has an uphill battle to make the 53.
  14. Honestly it just seems like a PR effort to me until I see Tua taking the field looking like Dark Helmet from Spaceballs.
  15. We signed Dalton in part to make sure we didn't have to play the rookie before he's ready but I absolutely think the plan is for the rookie to start day one.
  16. The Tua helmet? I mean, are they basically just saying the quiet part out loud here? We're gonna protect our high dollar QBs, the rest of y'all go out there and take your brain damage.
  17. Sometimes sticking with your draft board means pursuing a trade. If you don't particularly like the value of the prospects available and the phone is ringing you might as well have a listen.
  18. One of these days probably sooner rather than later one of us mods is gonna just go on a wholesale large on the QB prospect fanboy shitposters.
  19. With their record of awful decisions I struggle to predict anything they might do.
  20. I think they're making a bad bet on Ridder but their defense should be drastically improved. I suppose it's also possible that they just want the rest of the league to be convinced that they're committed to moving forward with Ridder when in reality QB is very much on the board for them at #8 and they don't want someone to leapfrog them.
  21. Richardson really didn't fit the league anymore. League owners have gone from being ridiculously wealthy people to being ridiculously wealthy people even in comparison to ridiculously wealthy people. We're talking about some of the very wealthiest people on the planet.
