Which one will bust? Definitely Fields. They both could actually. None of these guys are very good. Moving Darnold is a huge mistake. if I were the Steelers, I’d be on the phone trying to get Darnold.

But what if he has a breakout season and we move on from Edmunds?

That’s our guy! Unfortunately Beane is moving up to 26 to get him.

But I was told by this board there’s never been a leak. Any leak was on purpose due to “wizardry” by Beane.

We know nothing because he’s a “wizard” correct?

We likely have 2 plans in place. There’s probably 2-3 players that we’d feel obligated to move up to 26 for. If those players are gone, I suspect we’d move down and take the RB from NC, but then trade back up and take another player shortly after.

Good point. It’s the only position we’ve heard zero about. Who is the best one at 30?

So, we really are drafting a RB.

The Panthers were huge favorites in that game. Denver had quite possibly the worst offense to ever play in a SB that year. That was when Manning could only throw the ball about 10 yards downfield and it took an hour to get there. The Panthers looked like world beaters in those first 2 playoff games. I remember thinking those were the most dominating victories I’d ever seen. It didn’t end well.

I guess I would just feel a lot better if McD handed over those duties to a “proven” coordinator and scheme, and I hope it happens sooner than later or I fear we’ll all be having these same discussions next offseason.

Are you talking about the offense, defense, or both? Scheme was my initial worry when we hired McD. I followed all of those Panthers teams when I lived there. The scheme is “soft.” Not only is the scheme soft, but this is the softest version of his traditionally soft defenses. I know deep down that it’s never going to be good enough. Then we bring in another guy in Frazier that’s always been known to get absolutely torched in any game that mattered throughout his long career. I just can’t shake this feeling that I have about this defense. I’m sure they’re really nice guys but this scheme worries the hell out of me. Even if we get the perfect personnel, it still just won’t be good enough unless we score 45 points in a SB.

Alim McNeill, DT, NC State? I mentioned him earlier. I’m starting to see his name pop up often now. That’s got Beane written all over it. Maybe we should trade down and take the NC RB, then DT.

This is why I post nonsense. It raises my status and it’s very important to me to know that I’m better than others here. My status is everything. With an elevated status I can manipulate others and force their loyalty through fear. Ok, I made that up. Who checks their status on a regular basis? Lol.

If she does Pilates, she does something pretty similar. He’s just adding a bar.

It’s very easy to pull something. I’m surprised they let him do it at all. His feet aren’t stable and the bar isn’t stable. There really isn’t any advantage doing that way either. A gymnast would probably yell at him.

I can do those pretty easily but that’s because I weigh 145 pounds.

You’ve never talked to a real life Jets fan. Stop it. They only occupy a 20 square mile area.

I don’t see any reports of the Jets turning anything down. It said that SF didn’t speak to the Jets. There could be many reasons for that. The Jets could already have a deal in place with another team that’s waiting on the Jags to announce who they’re taking. We really don’t know yet. There’s a lot of “reaching” with this rumors.

It’s a safe bet that 2 of these NC kids will be on our team after the draft.

Yup. We are a team that can take that “luxury” pick RB and 30 is exactly where you want to do it. People get too caught up pretending that we’re Hoodie and will never value the position or insists that we’re always going to trade down. It’s pretty tiresome to be honest. The way we have addressed the position hasn’t worked and it needs to be fixed.

I’m seeing the DT from NC being mocked to us in the 2nd. That would be very Beane-like.

What if Zaven Collins made it to 24? You don’t think they go get him? I do.

We could also fall in love with the NC kid. That’s likely our fall back position if no one falls to us or we can’t trade up. Beane is pretty predictable in all honesty and there’s definitely been previous leaks because we knew who we were drafting every year since he’s been there.

Oh, so the Steelers are 24. This is starting to make a little sense now. So if we actually like Harris, I would probably try to trade up right in front of the Jets at 22 if he is still on the board at 20. We probably don’t have the ammo to get in front of Miami.

Yeah, if we want Harris, we have to trade in front of the Steelers. All signs point to them fixing their running game ASAP.
