MHS831

He was a guard though.

I think we will move back

He spotted a bear

Jimmy G had just about a perfect situation for a QB---you see his best.

Funny, but this is only news because we make it newsworthy. It is just some asshat running his mouth for clicks and pats on the head. Nothing to see here.

You know, the players' union needs to soon realize that the majority of the new money is going to one position.

Jones was talking about trading up, however.

the talent really drops off in the first round around 11-14. It would take the second and third to swap firsts--but 24 is after some QB needy teams (Pittsburgh, New Orleans) draft. Prolly not happening.

This could mean that Rhule is not happy about drafting a rookie QB and sees the writing on the wall.

Did the restaurant name end in "Cheese"?

I hope Roy and and another DT step up; often year 3 is a charm. I think we are better at LB than last year, and I think our secondary (with Horn and X) will be upgraded. I am not ready to call Henderson (CB) a bust, but Hartsfield at Nickel with Horn and Jackson is not bad. We need a pass rusher, but do not forget, YGM is entering year 3---CJ and Hardy were head scratches until year three. Give Haynes some reps....we really could be good. I think too often people pull the bread out of the oven too soon and think the bread sucks. Maturation (Henderson, YGM, Roy) is going to be important.

I hate to say this, but anyone watching the OL like I do (used to coach OL so I got trained to do so) would realize that the middle of the OL was the biggest problem. Not to say that OT was on point, but BC was decent there when I watched. Does that mean he is the next Joe Thomas? No, but all NFL offensive lines have a weak link--it is when you have 2 that it becomes problematic. The salary cap will prevent you from having an OL with 5 top notched players--so you need to be good at 2, decent at 2, and maybe developing at 1. I think BC has the athleticism to be decent.

I think the Panthers are going to either take that tackle or edge rusher (since there are 6 elite players, one will be there) or they are trading back to the middle of the draft and taking Corral. So I will say with precise uncertainty: #6 Neal OR #15 or so: Corral and then Zion Johnson (G/C from BC) in round 2. Corral has the quick release and is accurate. He is a good athlete and can run the RPO. Good fit in this offense.

already corrected this. traded.

Traded---my bad.

He likes to fish--saw him fishing for trout at South Mtn. once. Spoke to him, but a crowd gathered. One of them said, "Who is that guy talking to MHS831?" Well, the first part of that was true.

Baker on a 1-year "prove it" fifth year deal is not the solution, but it could happen that way--if he balls out, they could lock him down, but I doubt anyone here would be happy about Baker at $40m per going forward. He is up and and down. I would ask that Cleveland pays half his fifth year option. And for 1 year, if the locker room sours with him, you let him go. I dunno. typing this made me feel slimy.

The longer they are unsigned, the cheaper they become.

I think we plan to trade back, grab a QB, but if that fails, we can go after one of these two. I do not think staying with Darnold is the plan, even if for 1 year.

Seriously--the QB bust rate is so high it means that nobody really knows.

Are we talking about what you would do or what they will do? I am predicting what I think they will do.

I think the plan is to move back and do something like this.

Interesting stuff about Willis---you have to love the person and his upside. I still think that we are going to either take Pickett or trade back and take Corral or Howell. Just a gut feeling.

Not that related, but did you know that Kenny Pickett is 5 months OLDER than Green Bay's Jordan Love? I want Matt Corral or Sam Howell in a trade back. While they could become starters, we don't have a decent backup either.

Good way of looking at it. I am happy we have Fitterer and not Gettlemen this year. They are probably exact opposites. If Fitterer thinks he can get his QB by trading back, that is what we are going to do. If we HAVE to pick at #6, I expect a T or edge rusher.
