the bears are going to be scary because they got him but glad we didn’t go get him… ugh.

Nfc racking up pass catchers

Nah. Paired with kirko, you’ve misallocated either a top pick or $100m

100m guaranteed. And tampering picks. Good plan.

what about over kirko

man we still have Samuel-Shakir…and almost as long as them til our next pick… let’s tread lightly

I’m not sure the cfl will unlock mccarthys but who knows

because they have different needs or timelines or ratings?

unfortunately, none of the ones left were real. May as well take a star pass catcher if there’s not a qb

and a high 2nd

For a 15 year old memory I’ll take it being more like .8 than 1.5 for the non participating team and pretty darn close on the participating ones. I have zero recollection on the other percentages though. By the time you get through the million different allotments I think adds up fast.

Yea, don’t quote me on numbers but I recall from the saints Super Bowl that each team gets like 1.5% of the inventory and the teams in the game get like 5% additional (those numbers are almost certainly off but at least vaguely in the ballpark) Then the league gets a chunk, sponsors, media, the host city team received a bump up in their allotment, etc….

luckily, our need is fully squared with first round value

I think he’s implying the pass rusher at 28 probably takes essentially zero points off the opposing totals while the wr may add 50 or so to ours if we get the right guy

because every teams needs are different while we have one huge hole and are contenders, another team could really value multiple picks and pushing some of that value back a year to better meet their window (maybe a more developmental project plus picks next year instead of an instant impact)

cam you imagine if he also raps, and has controversial vaccination views?

it’s also cheaper/easier to find a lunch pail guy than an elite traits guy in free agency Also- I swear I meant that as a hard working technician of the game and not as a white guy

I’ll be totally honest - I’ve spent very little time with a lot of these qbs…. But I don’t think this will be a memorable class 10 years from now. I wouldn’t be shocked if the top guy of the class lands somewhere in that cousins/dak/herbert range (viable starter, but not top 5 tier player) and I think the rest will be huge disappointments. I think there are quite a few that lose coaches and GMs jobs and it’ll be interesting to see if some of them slide more than expected or if the feeding frenzy happens

Do I think he’d be good in this defense? Sure. Does the pick move the needle at all for our record? Not really. as you say, we could look at a guy like Thomas or Mitchell plus Simmons… or for same investment dejean plus Tyler Boyd? seems easy to me.

I absolutely think some coaches will be subject to following the subconscious stereotype. no catastrophic harm but you watch the film and the comps that jump to mind inevitably will share some physical characteristics. Our brains naturally create buckets for patterns. No white guys play corner isn’t an absurd one to instinctually have lingering back there somewhere fair to him? Probably not. In the scope of we are all human for better or worse? For sure.

I tend to agree and think they could substantially fill major holes immediately instead of minor upgrades or long term projects.

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

I think you and weo and doc should get your own board. Just the three of you. I haven’t come up with a name yet.
