  1. Keep doing it. Sky Moore and Mecole Hardman were whiffs of 2nd round picks. Rashee Rice is the only one that they've seen to hit on.
  2. I give him credit for Operation Warp Speed for the vaccines though. A massive success that saved a lot of lives and we may still be wearing masks without it. Ironically, the moronic faction of the Democrat party don't want to give Trump any credit for it while the idiot faction of the Republican party thinks it was unnecessary.
  3. True but don't underestimate McDermott's ability to coach up safeties. The o-line is my main concern as we won't have as much injury luck as we did last year and our depth inside will be a lot weaker.
  4. My pleasure and I'm even an optimist by nature. Shorter is just the classic late round under performing yet highly recruited toolsy player that is bound to disappoint fans who think he could be a steal in the 5th round.
  5. It would've been fun to see twitter's live reaction to that decision and game. Has there ever been a QB competition as passionate and ugly as that one? I remember wishing I could transform Flutie's brain into Johnson's body. Josh Allen also happened to be born right before both were signed here so maybe God had too much free time on his hands.
  6. Josh isn't blameless either and fans I think are a little too harsh on Gabe not wanting to blame Josh. However, I think a lot of those INT's/miscues was Josh putting "too much" trust in Gabe given his size. You just didn't see him take those chances with someone like Jon Brown or Emmanuel Sanders. I prefer that type of outside WR opposite Diggs. Remove the temptation of having a WR with Gabe's profile. He's not a wild-card. He's a WR4 special teams gunner and that's his ceiling imo. Anyone expecting more will be disappointed.
  7. I just have faith that Allen will make sure this is still a top five offense and McDermott will figure out the defense to make sure it stays in the top half of the league. My expectations of winning the division and at least making the divisional round remain the same as it has since we acquired Diggs in 2020. Then it just comes down to a matter of how healthy we are compared to our competition come playoff time. Like every year, the biggest caveat is that Allen stays healthy.
  8. Only nine rookie WR's had more yards than Diggs had last year in NFL history. None had more receptions. Expecting a rookie WR to come in and produce at his level is unrealistic.
  9. Not past the WC round but he had a certain play for the Vikings that was somewhat memorable in the playoffs.
  10. LOL. A player breaking the news via social media about another player. This is a new one.
  11. They can roll that cap space over to next year as Jones's cap hit next year is $34.8m in 2025. It puts them in good position to re-sign Humphrey, Danna, and D. Smith if they wanted.
  12. I guess it's better than a comp pick which is what they would've gotten if they just let him walk. Don't like the move for the Titans as they'll now have to pay top dollar for a CB and give up what will pry be a high 3rd rounder.
  13. The general consensus at the time was Watkins was the best WR prospect since AJ Green. Giving up significant draft capital to move up in the draft (especially for a non QB) is historically a losing proposition.
  14. Not for the Vikings he didn't. The Cowboys parlayed those draft picks into Emmitt Smith, Russell Maryland, Kevin Smith, and Darryl Woodson. It's one of the most fascinating trades of all time.
  15. A bit hyperbolic as the Herschel Walker trade alone pry led to three Cowboys Super Bowls in the 90's. Also, that doesn't mean Atlanta wouldn't have used those picks they gave up effectively.
  16. Careful what you wish for. I'm not saying Harrison Jr. will be disappointing like Watkins but 2014 was also looked at as a WR rich draft with Watkins in a tier of his own.
  17. Let's just say Brandon Beane gets drugged hours before the draft. This is what it took for the Falcons to move from 27 to 6 for reference. Maybe it would require a 2025 2nd instead of a 4th.
  18. I heard he's going all out with it being his 50th. He's putting a scoop of sugar in his steel cut oatmeal.
  19. Just by the interviews last off-season I wish he'd work more on nutrition more to prolong his career as long as possible. Other than that I don't have much to criticize as we really don't know how much he does to improve his game each off-season.
  20. They've never carried two punters. They have eaten dead money though if a player wins the competition in training camp (Morris over OJ Howard). It's possible Haack beats out Martin.
  21. I'd put money on it only being a three year extension after his 5th year option with $28m guaranteed.
  22. Does the 41 million guaranteed include the 13 million guaranteed fifth year option?
  23. Unless you get a trade offer for him that made sense both short and long term.
  24. If we didn't give Trubisky $2.7m guaranteed they may have inquired about Fields. He'll count $2m towards the cap this year and we'll eat $1.5m if we cut him. This team cap wise isn't in a position to commit at what minimum would've been a $4.7m cap space to the backup QB position (assuming Trubisky was cut).
  25. Of course it's not. You don't light $38m of cap space on fire.
