But yeah, you are right.  I don't look forward to anything more than the Draft.  Something is bad wrong with me.

It's called being a fan of a bad team. The draft is our version of the playoffs.

Not sure if you are aware of our long "playoff" losing streak but......

I don't understand how people view Milroe and Dart better than him. Those guys have lower floors than Anthony Richardson. 

Milroe has the tools but was all over the place play wise. Dart has the upside and hype going back to HS and USC, but nothing that really sets him apart. 

And transferring to Ole Miss really masked where he is developmentally. Prospective NFL offensive talent should start avoiding that program. We’ve experienced that (Corral, Mingo, etc)

Lower floors than AR coming out, or lower floors than AR now?  Are you counting that he has proven to be a productive goal line back?  AR as a prospect had just about the lowest floor you can possibly have.  Probably the same as Milroe.  Dart's floor looks a lot closer to backup QB to me, but the issue is that his ceiling doesn't look too far from that either.

It's crazy that teams are drafting scratch off lottery tickets at QB with 1st round picks.

Kiffens system is a damn qb killer.  Teaches incredibly bad habits.  If a team thinks they can coach that out of him then Dart has the size, speed and a great arm to try.

I mean it got Corral drafted by the Panthers and ranked #1 in the class by Simms lol.  That dude had no shot at being a productive NFL QB.

There probably was a fine needle thread line where it could have worked to some level as the kid has talent.  But Rhule and fitt completely ruined him.  He wasnt mentally tough enough to overcome their fugery.  Trade up for the kid, tell everyone you had a first round grade on him, bury him on the depth chart behind Walker, get him killed behind a poo line and thats a wrap.  He never got a legit chance here

What?  Jeanty to the Jags is picking up steam?

In what world does that make sense when they have Etienne and Bigsby already?  If they were picking in the late teens and Jeanty was still there, then sure, maybe you look at it as a great value pick and you trade one or both of those other RBs.

But taking one at #5 when you have two quality RBs already just seems like a HORRIBLE decision

No one knows who the jags or jets are going to pick. Each have been link to about 10 different players and need each one of them.

Lower floors than AR as a prospect. 

Now AR's floor is closer to JaMarcus Russell than it is Allen/Newton, IMO.

I don't think they ruined him. He wasn't an NFL player. He never was.

Won’t happen and isn’t worth considering.  They are posturing for a trade down obviously.

I think there are far more sellers in the top 15 than buyers outside it.
