MHS831

I get suspicious on puddin' day--the help crushes up meds and mixes them into the cup---I strongly suspect. I mean, since when does chocolate vanilla swirl have a bitter aftertaste? And why are there ceiling woodsy animals dancing around after I eat it?

Yes, but you don't have a system in mind that needs a QB--so an even comparison between players, I get that. I also think Jones' upside is limited, and Lance of Fields are more boom or bust.

I took Aaron Robinson off my board early because he was supposedly too slow to play outside. Then I just googled him/did extensive research and discovered that he ran a 4.38 on his pro day. What?

People just can't see what Jones is bringing to the table because they want this athletic, running QB instead of a field general who can put the ball in the hands of the athletic, running backs, WRs, and TEs.

Small school question could be about an OL--there are several that I like: NDSU Northern Iowa Miami of Ohio Marshall Wisconsin Whitewater or whatever

I used to despise him (because I despise both the U and Dallas) but I can't imagine a better time than fishing and talking football with that man. There are no better coaches, that is for sure.

tossing around the idea for a Zoom on days 2 and 3 of the draft. Why has nobody ever suggested it? Why am I always the one with my neck out while you sissies behind momma's skirt start heckling the risk takers? Where was I--time for my pudding. bye.

I think Rhule recruits on Ancestry.com

I think we have to look day 3, and the DT crop is terrible. I am thinking of breaking out my old birdcage helmet and seeing if my agent is still alive. (Full disclosure: I never had a birdcage helmet or an agent).

"BPA is, for the most part, a myth. You draft to fill needs." ---MHS831, April 20, 2021 Agent Blue makes a great point about position value. Others counter with good points. I look at it on the "rarity" scale. QBs are the most rare, LTs are probably next, Edge Rushers, etc. The good OT vs great WR is a good debate question. But you have a good OT (Think Moton or his equal on the left side, maybe?) and a great WR (think Julio Jones). Yes, LT is the hardest position to find, but does it make your football team better that Jones? Hard to say because one keeps your $35m QB standing so he can throw passes to Jones, while the other makes plays that win games. What makes the NFL salary cap so great is the fact that it is the biggest equalizer in sports. You have to choose, and those choices create weaknesses and strengths on every team. So while a LT is difficult to find, WRs can win games. It is really a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. But if the players are equal-- If we draft a Chase or a Waddle I won't be mad, but if we leave Sewell on the board to do it, I will be.

I forgot about Ivey. We are, at least on paper for now, stronger on the OL than we were last year, and that means LT and LG. I think this draft is terrible for DTs, but I think the OTs are incredible. In addition, I want a stud WR because we are not as set as it seems at WR, contractually. I am really anxious to see what Elflein does because I think he might be decent to good. LT is still a concern---which is why we go there early.

Here is a rumor that is based on truth: The Patriots have been doing a ton of research on Kellen Mond. Discuss. 15? I think so. second round if not 15. Popcorn.

If we draft Sewell, we have to go CB and WR next---don't we? You could argue that S is a bigger need that CB now?

Lotta teams need a good backup, and Teddy is that. Tampa Bay? Pittsburgh? New England if they dont get Mond at 15 like I think they are? Miami? Detroit? I could go on

Say what you want about Smith, but they make a good cup of coffee there.

MORE therapy in my case. I had Atlanta trading back and drafting Mills in the second round. Perfect spot behind Ryan. Brady is another good spot for him.

I posted my mock yesterday and we have some similarities. Great minds? Get therapy? You will go either way on that one- My bold prediction: Mond at 15. I also had Asante Sam at 29, i think.

Listen buddy, I was in the zone! I can't explain it. It is like being possessed! (I was predicting, not GMing---would miami move back if they saw Jones go to SF and a trade up with Atlanta and then Chase going Bengals? maybe. Its fluid and complicated. I was just trying to put together what fans were saying on different boards and needs assessments---and I wanted to engineer some trades. I am SO waiting for your mock, Old Ham.!!

I tend to go back and look at what they said about players in the 2018 draft, for example. Not that they are any smarter at identifying talent that GMs and scouts--and they blow it in round 1 about 47% of the time, so who knows? The best thing for me to do is read multiple sources and find similarities. Some are patterns, some are parroted comments from social media. Hard to say--

I am not either, but I bet the man that paid him $10m for 2 years might think differently. Still, this is a solid OT draft, so we are dumb not to get one.

Lotta this is what I have been saying. You have to read the tea leaves--although i think they are hoping Darnold is the guy, and I think he will be better.

If I am Teddy, I laugh out loud, sit on the bench or get cut---and brag about how I played 15 games and got paid $40m.
