Yep, normally by this time I have the top 5 or 6 prospects in most key positional groups already studied and a mini-big board formulated.  This year I just can't get into it.  With Rhule here next year and lacking ANY day 2 picks, I just have about zero enthusiasm for this draft season.  It sucks too, because normally this is my FAVORITE time of year.

I’m in the same boat. It really sucks. The silver lining for poo teams is supposed to be draft hype but we have 1 pick worth a damn. Can’t believe it

The draft being this late is so stupid. Put it in March, NFL. 6 weeks after the Superbowl is plenty of time to draft prospects, the NBA does it 3 weeks after the finals and every team is already scouting prospects all year anyway. The NFL needs new leadership.

Veteran players would never agree to that.

They want the chance to get big contracts from teams that need help before those teams can just draft cheaper rookies.

Then have free agency 4 weeks after the end of the Superbowl

Waiting 11 weeks after the Superbowl for the draft is very excessive

 

"My Ideal NFL offseason plan if I was commissioner"

Superbowl first Sunday of Febuary

Free Agency/Trades first Monday of March

Draft last Thursday-Saturday of March

Rookie/Undrafted/Tryouts minicamp first two weeks of April

After minicamp players get mandatory 12 weeks vacation (veterans get about 5 months after Superbowl)

Training camp third monday of July (18th this year)

4 weeks of training camp with no preseason games

2 preseason games, 1st preseason game 3rd Saturday of August

2 weeks between second preseason game and first game of season

You have to also keep in mind that with the league wanting to expand to 18 games, it's possible the offseason gets pushed back even further.

Ideas of this kind have been brought up before. The Players Association tends to not be a fan of such thoughts

    • That's the thing, he's this good and not even a finished product.  A lot of great TEs don't have elite twitch and suddenness to them.  He's a football player through and through and I feel that once he gets to eat/sleep football 24/7 in the NFL, he's going to hone his route tree while refining his breaks/cuts. My only knock on him is he's a bit stiff, which is hampers crisp route running.  Warren strikes me as a gym rat football junkie and I can see that cleaned up in short order...in the course of a season or less.  Unless your name is Brock Bowers, TEs usually don't set the League on fire their rookie season.  I could see him contributing heavily in year 1, none-the-less.
    • I am not sure if it was or wasn't his decision to bring him back, but I am willing to bet that he fires him next offseason.
    • Eh. Evero has been here through now 2 coaching regimes. He also pushed for guys like DJ Johnson and has apparently had significant enough input on some free agency moves too. At this point nobody knows about Canales. Even Bryce Young's progress has to be taken with a grain of salt. The rubber has to meet the road in a big way in 2025. But I think it's fair to say the plan from the front office seems to be to let Canales focus on the offense. Although some people could rightly argue he needs to be more hands on across the roster given the fact his defense was 32/32 last season. And look let's be real here. Virtually everyone here is going to agree Rhule was a conman and not a good NFL head coach by any means. But he did swindle our owner out of a generational amount of money. That cannot be understated. With Reich though while he was not the man for the job he didn't even coach here a full season. Saying he didn't develop anyone while giving our front office a pass for their egregiously subpar drafting before and after he was gone (see our 2024 2nd round pick) seems odd. The simple fact of the matter is we need to both draft significantly better and we need to develop talent better.
