I'm somewhat surprised they haven't made the draft one round a day for a week.

If the touchback rule gets changed to the 35 he could actually be an asset as a kick returner. That's all I got man. LOL.

Only if Beane wants to. Now that he failed miserably to land Metcalf what's the point of life anymore?

The WR Beane would’ve drafted at pick 22 if we never traded for Diggs.

That’s like telling someone it was “mostly heads” if you flipped a coin heads 51 out of a 100 times.

So "mostly voted for Trump" is 51% to you? I see that as a tiny majority. I do appreciate you doing some research on it though because it's interesting. Why do you think they swung their vote that much?

There is nothing in the article that breaks down the voter demographics of the now changed 59%.

Okay. Now I need both a study citing the race of the 56% of the voters from who don't have $1000.00 in case of an emergency and a study showing how those in that group "mostly voted" for Trump.

Someone to push Mahomes for the starting job. Finally.

Voters in all income tiers rarely vote more than 40 to 60% in either direction for different parties. That's why it's hard for me to believe that almost all of the 56% of people who can't come up with $1,000 in case of emergency "mostly voted for Trump." Could be wrong through.

Link?

I could barely turn the steering wheel six weeks after shoulder surgery. Him and I are basically the same so I get it.

How in the world do we let one guy have this much power over tariffs? Just don't look at your 401(k's) folks.

I tend to agree. Even the Rousseau pick people could guess that Beane was pry drafting a DE in the first round of the draft because we got hardly any pressure on Mahomes in the AFC Championship game in 2020. The only surprising first round pick I remember with Beane was Kincaid. I'm not saying CB is out of play in round 1 if we sign one. I am saying that teams would have no clue what we're looking for in the 1st round in the draft (besides QB) if we did.

I'm not saying we won't sign a CB but just pointing out that Beane obviously didn't learn his lesson with Elam.

You want to roster four RB's?

We put ourselves in the same position with WR last year. I don't think Beane's learned.

Calais Campbell just wrote a blog entry thanking the city of Miami on his Myspace account.

He did average 4.9ypc though and has the long speed we haven't had at running back since McCoy. I agree that TD's are highly volatile year to year but Cook clearly put on muscle last off-season that contributed from the jump of 2 rushing TD's to 16 TD's in one season with less carries. He ran with a physicality that I thought I'd never see from him when we first drafted him. I've always been a never draft a RB in the 1st round person and never to a 2nd contract person. However, Cook has less tread on the tires than all the disaster 2nd contracts (Gurley, Zeke, Bell) going all the way back to Georgia. If he were to sign a three year extension for around $11m a year that was easy to get out of after year two I wouldn't hate it. Not $15m though.

That one sack was epic.

That's the argument against Cook as he's not an every down back so he's not going to get as many carries as a bell cow RB.

Yeah. I misread what you said. Sorry. I've always been a bigger McDermott apologist than a Beane one so this is kind of an awkward spot for me. His two best and franchise altering moves were drafting Allen and trading for Diggs. My main complaint hasn't really been his drafting because it's largely a crapshoot. I mean even Howie Roseman picked Jahlen Reagor one pick ahead of Justin Jefferson. It's Beane's refusal since 2021 to seriously address the WR position and then trying to sell us on that "everybody eats" concept because he made the mistake of extending Diggs. Sticking with Davis as the WR2 role for two years. Not signing Hopkins a few years ago. Not taking at least two WR's in a WR rich draft last year. Even this year not trading for Metcalf when it absolutely would've been worth it for just a 2nd and a 5th maybe?

We'd have to roster four RB's then because I'm guessing drafting a rookie they believe can be the next Cook would get scooped off the practice squad. That's not happening. To me there's three options. First would be to just extend Cook. Second would be to not take a running back in the draft and draft Cook's replacement next year. Third would be to trade Cook and draft his replacement this draft.

That's fair and Veach only has one more draft than Beane so it's a good comparison. His first year of GM he moved up to draft Mahomes. Beane's first year he moved up to get Allen. Both are top 5 GM's imo when you look at their whole body of work (not just the draft). There's more of a gap between Andy Reid and Sean McDermott though as we all know he's 0-4 against Reid in the playoffs and he got out coached in all four of them.
