  1. Died of a heart attack, aged 29. http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/patriots/2016/04/26/former-patriot-ron-brace-died-apparent-heart-attack/xbVUSimy55b9115KUWuQ0L/story.html
  2. If they trade up, it'll be about 2am here. I think I can get away with public nudity if it happens. Myles is my #1 player in this class. If we get him, I'll go nuts.
  3. Why would I listen to Coach Tuesday on a Wednesday?
  4. Twitter game is pretty good though. https://twitter.com/DLeeMG8/status/725083967947427842
  5. "He was smart enough to have a fall guy too" - Cris Carter, probably.
  6. He'd have to pick his moments better but I'd never try to curb natural enthusiasm for the game. He's proven durable enough to sustain it.
  7. He moves very well. One of the endearing things about him, much like with Fitz, is his fondness for lowering a shoulder and trying to wreck a defender. You're chipping away at my stone heart for Hogan. I don't like it!
  8. You drive a hard bargain. Sure you don't want Elway's first born grandchild as well?
  9. "Not a scheme fit" which means basically we heard this guy is going in the first and the Bills are dumb. That'll do, we'll shove him in there.
  10. *Books flights to Buffalo* *Brings camera*
  11. If it's a problem in 5 years, so be it. 4 years on a 1st round deal, 5th year option. 5 years of elite LB play for a decent rate. I could handle not re-signing him after his deal expires.
  12. Not allowing myself to think he could make it to 19. Quite frankly, the team at 2 would be better off taking him over Wentz.
  13. He really needs to put weight back on. Was only 171lbs at his last weigh-in. I remember that A&M game too, dude is super talented. This is a really good shout.
  14. I think the value is implied more than anything. The better the player, the more you can ask for.
  15. 10 year career, made $36m in the process. I'd call that a good decade.
  16. Starting point for me would be their 1st, 2nd, 5th for 19. Maybe even one of their 7ths to secure a PFA guy. Pay it or you're starting Mark Sanchez. Punish them for having a QB deficiency.
  17. I'd rather leave a hole in the depth chart.
  18. The point kdiggz was making is that desperation might tempt them to sweeten the deal. The value chart is a nice tool but it's not a rule.
  19. I still don't hate Mario. I don't even dislike him. I have my reasons for that and they are not popular. Suh, I dislike him. Dirty cheap shot artist.
  20. Suh didn't report either. All the narratives!
  21. I'm glad you look at decision making across the NFL and think it's above reproach.
  22. Trade bait. They can't be this dumb.
  23. I'm pretty comfortable with my thought process on this. I'm not trying to change your mind.
  24. A really nice story about Clemson LB BJ Goodson and his home town. Lamar, SC has a population of under 1,000 and Goodson might become the 5th player drafted from the town in 25 years. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/the-1-in-10-million-billon-town-193416891.html?soc_src=mediacontentstory&soc_trk=fb
  25. It has everything to do with scouting. Teams take the wrong shots all the time for reasons that make no damn sense. There were teams that didn't like Marcus Mariota last year because of the system he played in. The same this year with Jared Goff. They blame spread schemes for their inability to scout. All of this 'pro-style' bollocks that gets spouted seems to disregard that the majority of teams run spread concepts in the NFL and the majority of snaps are from the shotgun. There are guys that go undrafted every year that have more talent than some of the guys that go on the first 2 days of the draft. They just simply don't tick the right boxes. Sean Mannion was a 3rd round pick last year. Chris Bonner spent 2 days with KC in a rookie minicamp and then ended up in the CFL for a while. I know which one was better, it just so happened that playing poorly in the PAC-12 meant more than dominating D2. If you don't draft the talent, you end up in a QB crisis. The NFL has made it for themselves.
