if you don’t think they are top ten, you don’t understand how qb driven the league is. as to whether they improve more than average- I think having a massive hole at the best position in the draft allows for a very large delta. Moving wr1 from worst to middle of the pack is a huge change; while another team going from a dine enough to a good safety probably won’t see the same change on the field

or, you know, making a play

yea but how shaq was handled was certainly the exception not the rule

Can we predict this weeks draft based on McBeane’s history?
NoSaint replied to LEBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
but I think his point is that it is a slim sampling compared to 6 from the school -

If we had those answers it would be in the post but the process seems to be just starting -

The ultimate PSL -
my point being he didn’t say much. Might stay put or trade up or down a little. Probably not up a lot cause it takes a lot lining up is loosely the gist and that’s a really practical statement even from a guy desperate to get there. I don’t believe he hasn’t talked to anyone. Even if on a surface level you don’t think he particularly wants to move up - but you do think he wants to move back… who would he be talking to about those possible moves? Teams at the top of 2. The same teams at the top of the first. ultimately I do believe also that alpha will have his chance to spike the ball and do a victory tour reminding us for all eternity that he was right about the lack of trade up but I think in not an inconsequential part that’s because it’s a lot harder to make a big move than it is to make a small move or no move at all. similar to @BADOLBILZstatements - he’s managing that expectation now. He knows there are viral clips, and his star player saying he’s doing it. He can’t let the fans expect it though even if he’s actively trying because it’s difficult and he has only so much control over it

And knock on wood working on their craft if they are smart it’s an extra year of serious reps, and if they don’t just party and coast on talent - development. once the pool normalizes with fewer juniors coming out, you might see those mid-late picks be a little more ready to contribute with more lifting, more film study, more experience in games etc… heck, even less shock with having big money in their pockets All he needs are 2 draftable guys on his board, or it’s a priority UDFA. Same as every other year.

what’s the one thing he can least afford to say today? Honestly would that worst thing be: “I have a glaring hole at WR1 and need to trade up to fill it”
-
my take away is you generally heard what you wanted? the summary essentially reads: they aren’t talking to top ten teams… but would be talking to trade back with exactly those same teams they aren’t trading up to the top of the round and don’t want to trade the 1 or 2 unless of course they decide to trade the 1 or 2

Do you think Allen feels relief after the Diggs trade?
NoSaint replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall
to reconcile this a bit- the star that most disappeared in the playoffs was right to hold his teammates accountable in the playoffs because it was a them problem and not a him problem. also, despite him doing it in an ineffective way, you loved seeing it. -
whether to move up from 28, or from 60 I’m near certain it’ll package into a trade and one of those two picks will be a wr… whether edge 28 and wr at the top of the 2nd or a trade up for the big 4 wr… id be shocked if we don’t use it I like his way more

Epic, Hypothetical Trade Scenario: Would ya?
NoSaint replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall
yea, that basically buys you two swings at the position with hopes you can come close to an elite option. I’d probably be ok with the Lawrence tier if arms were twisted but a great qb is such a talent multiplier for the other 52 -

augie used to drink a lot he still does, but he used to too (and will in the future) -
I’m not sure how to spell it out differently I speculated that rashee rice, a talented young receiver - who just wrecked 6 figures worth of cars, facing 7 figure lawsuits, and likely huge legal bills… potentially seeing his earnings reduced by suspension in year 2 of his modest rookie deal could feel very cash poor and at the end of his 3rd year (earliest opportunity) seek an extension to put some cash in his pocket even though he will have very limited leverage
