Me responding to Me: I also think Howell could be decent in the right system. I hope that Tampa Bay gives Baker a 4-year, 130m deal.

My gut tells me the same thing. However, I read somewhere that they wanted the dual threat QB and it stuck. If I were GM, I draft Maye. I think Caleb is running away with the #1 overall. Personally, I do not want NE to get Maye. Nobody deserves the fortune they have had. Reminds me of Manning and Luck in Indy.

https://www.espn.com/blog/washington-commanders/post/_/id/37647/long-days-big-dreams-the-grind-of-a-quality-control-coach This will be his job.I always wondered what quality control coaches do. If you are concerned about the LSU connection for the draft, No real insights unless Brian Thomas drops to us or we draft a DT around round 3. Maybe Center Charles Turner late.

Right--I knew that! Duh.

They really have no choice, IMO If the Giants do (and I am not sure they will) that might make 5 to 6 QBs in round 1. If you need a QB and McCarthy is sitting there, you have to reach for him. Same for Nix since he has Purdy-like experience and solid stats at Washington--he'd be as ready to start day 1...Pinnix has a shot too.

Which means that 4-5 surprises will screw it up so badly I have to create a new account to avoid all the Nostre Damus hindsight psychics on here. Maybe something like Dragon Fire.

This is only the beginning. I would think releasing them early gives them chance to sign with someone else, helping your chances for comp picks?

Speaking of Boomers, has Mr Scot been active lately?

He really is almost unbearable. If he played on any team I ever played on, he would have been held underwater in the ice tub and then had atomic balm rubbed on his nuts until a little humility entered his facial expressions.

Picking the first dominoes to fall is much easier--I really struggled toward the end. Like Nix going 12 overall? What else can Denver do? No cap room, no qb, and at #12, they can't get a top 3 probably 4 QB.

I had no idea that Thomas mowed the owner's yard. Good work if you can get it. (I am on fire with my humor) Seriously, I have to think this roster is about to be overhauled. The Burns move was due to the deadline. The way I read this, Hurst was unwilling to take a pay cut, so that decision is easy.

According to Sportrac, probably after the Burns tag, the Panthers are now on $13m under the cap.

I suppose the most intriguing aspect of Wilson in Minnesota is what will be his catch phrase at the end of interviews as a Viking. "Let's Rape, pillage, and plunder" PS. Florio also said that there have been talks between Cousins and Pitts about wearing #8.

Many of you have been calling my team of receptionists and blowing up my web page, X, and other stuff to get my views on where you think these QBs will land. I already know, so SPOILER ALERT: GREEN= Draft Black = Free Agency Here is how it is going down, folks. My predictions: 1. Cousins to Atlanta (Florio seems to think that Cousins' wife is from Ga and they were checking out schools in the area. Done deal) 2. Wilson to Minnesota (Just re-signed Jefferson and there is no competition for the job as there would be in Pittsburgh. Raiders possible) 3. Mayfield to Tampa Bay (they must love him there, without Canales. TB may be only team willing to write a $35m check for Baker) 4. Fields to Raiders (with a lot of cap room--about $50K, they can afford to give up a second rounder if necessary or so and still pay for Fields) 5. Williams to Chicago (first overall draft pick) 6. Daniels to Washington (Baltimore highlights are on their shared local newscasts--they want the next dual threat QB that rivals Jackson--Maye obviously the smart choice here, but I have a feeling...) 7. Maye to New England (Pats take the QB that Washington doesn't) 8. McCarthy to NY Giants (NY will trade up to reach for McCarthy and play him behind Jones for a season.) 9 Nix to Denver (Denver has no cap room and they will have to take a QB at #12. They probably will not be able to outbid the Giants to move up to #4 or #5 to get McCarthy, so Nix will become Sean Payton's apprentice. Hard to believe he would be drafted in the top 12, but some have Nix rated the highest of the second-tier QBs, and I see Nix as a good fit under Payton) 10. Penix to Pittsburgh (The Steelers have limited cap room, so a free agent beyond Russell Wilson is not likely--instead, they will take the strong armed, slinger from Washington.

I was higher on Legette until I watched him at the combine. He did not look as polished as others with second round grades. We need excellent route runners and YAC guys. I got excited about the UF WR Pearsall. The type who becomes the steal of the draft. Athletically, he was elite, he runs good routes, has good hands. So far, not being shown the love, but I imagine that when the dust settles, he is an early second round guy. Legette may drop to round 3.

I forgot about Sullivan. Tremble was targeted 30 times and caught 23, 3 for TDs. That is pretty good efficiency.

I got to know Wharton a bit, talking to him every June at OTAs. He was one of the nicest Panthers I ever had a brief chat with. Great guy. (Nicest ever had to be Jake Delhomme, fwiw)

This is a roster spot--I think Tremble is ready to step up, and (this is going to grind some gears) Ricci flashed a bit as a receiving TE--as a FB, he sucked. Ian might get cut, but if we are going to run it, he might be worth it to keep.

I was born in Columbia when my father was playing for the Gamecocks, so I have always been a fan of sorts. I agree. Of course, I would take Travelle Wharton all day long right now! And for a seventh rounder, Capt Munnerlyn was pretty good.

Fitterer's big offensive moves last year: Sanders Hurst Chark Thielen

Huge. I think they thought he would be "that guy."

Nice thought, brother

OK, so I am Detroit. I have more cap room, and arguably fewer needs. I know that Carolina has no first rounder and they need one with the new staff. My first is #29. If I can negotiate a first now and maybe a second in 2025, then offer a $110m contract for 4 years, I think it could get done.

In my view, he is a situational pass rusher and not an every down player because he is a liability. Worth much less, and that is my only beef. OCs started running toward his side, so our response was to move him around, sometimes in coverage. So we were defensive about our defensive player, sorta. I am not upset about it, but I want the team to save money for Brown, Luvu, a CB, and a G. It will get done, and maybe Burns realizes he is not a one-trick pony if he wants top dollar.

By "one piece" he could have meant GM. (I will be here all week!)
