The Big Tree

I'm not going to defend Trubisky and we're talking about something that was already decided obviously. I think there's some comfort in Mitch being around our offense and Brady. Where I'm skeptical of Wilson's ability to learn and translate to the field. I think so low if Wilson, I'm not sure I'd swap a 6th round pick for a 7th to get him.

I don't know man. Trubisky is no prize but Wilson is pretty rough.

You think you're about as good as Peterman? Hahahahahaha

Yes, and I think you'd thrive in it.

Agree. A matchup problem is everything you've said. McDermott didn't drop a nugget by saying something compelling, as he suggested.

I don't think there was a compelling thing about what McDermott said and nothing leading towards how that would translate to which WR they draft.

It's definitely a different world. And I do think it's possible a Duke commit could go to Memphis, but those are blue chip players. My curiosity is how this effects say beyond second round players. In the NFL a 3rd round pick can get a total contract in the 5.4 to 6 mil range. Could a player trying to get from the 5th round to the 3rd by staying in college an extra year, be making that decision based on college money? I'm thinking they aren't.

How much are kids with 5th round grades for example, trying to make into the 3rd, making in college?

As with all youtube videos, theres this time-line bar that you can slide to any point of your choosing.

It's likely it wasn't about the skills but became tiresome of the player himself. That's what, IMO, made him tradeable. It's my opinion that you've undervalued the Samuel signing. I think he's bringing more than Gabe had to offer. That coupled with the decline of Diggs, has reduced the gap in production we'll need to have from the WR we add.

Sure, along with 10-12 other teams.

The goal is to win the superbowl. That doesn't change in Allen's prime and you know that. My reply was to, if he doesn't find a #1, 2024 was a failure for Beane. Absorbing the loss of Diggs can happen in different ways and its reasonable to think it can. If Samuel is more effective than Davis, Kincaid's production grows, Knox has better than a 22/186 year, and there's something real there with Shakir - the gap from Diggs is already closing. Obviously with Diggs, there's no gap to close, and i think we were poised to be a problem with adding samuel. However many of us, were already wanting a replacement in the draft. If you can't tell, I'm bullish on Samuel. IMO, he's going to be a signing we're very happy with. Beane has to add something much different than a #1, IMO for 2024. Beane isn't done as he mentioned in the presser.

I don't agree. Diggs already wasn't playing like a #1 for most of 2023. After week 6, he was basically a possession receiver. He had 52 and 21 yards in the two playoff games. Beane only needs to replace Diggs' production in 2024.
