The thesis of the article is that you can infer "top priorities" based on this data and that appears to be incorrect. You actually made my point for me. Just looking at who we (overtly) scouted out of the top 10 available players doesn't give any indication of how we value the middle and late round players. It also tries to correlate number of scouting visits to interest in a player. This would be a great article if they left the thesis out that there's some correlation between who we looked at in the top 10 and what our "top priorities" are.

I appreciate the effort on this, but there's zero chance it's correct. We're scouting O-Line and WR. Beane is not an idiot. He realizes how bad our Offense is and has mentioned it in press conferences.

Laziest response of the year goes to....

Kind of surprising to see 32% of people still saying it's a bad trade. What would the benefit be of having McCarron right now?

After week 10, we know 3 new things: - Raiders pick will likely be top 3, which makes the 5th rounder more valuable. - Matt Barkley might be a decent backup / interim starter. - Nate Peterman is not a decent backup / interim starter. Curious where you all fall on this one now.

It's pretty easy. - being surrounded by people that love the same thing as you. - dedicating an entire day to the football experience. - drinking outside and hanging with your friends. - supporting a team when they're bad so you can wear it as a badge of honor when they're good. You should be able to have a good time at the game no matter how bad the actual team is. I always do.

NO! FIRE EVERYONE! I'M CRANKY AND NEED INSTANT SATISFACTION.

We got a very high third round pick in exchange for Tyrod. That was a great deal for us. He will never be a great QB. You need a great QB to win consistently in the NFL. Nothing else, including this thread, matters.

IF Josh Allen starts, I'm rooting for a win and we should all be doing the same. He needs as many wins and as much locker room confidence as possible.

How do you start a thread about something a person said ... and not mention what they said?

This is the problem. There's a huge contingent of dumb fans that want to run every single coach and GM out of town in year 2. We made the playoffs in year 1 and that still wasn't enough for these f*ing people. A rebuild takes time. If you want to build lasting success you can't do the same year-to-year garbage that these fans seem to want for some reason.

How about #18? He's OK at Special Teams, but the fact that we ever throw him the ball is a travesty.

...Kyle Williams?

Buddy .... let me slow this down for you. I'm referring to the value of a third round pick in that same draft. I couldn't use the Darby pick because it was used to trade up for Edmunds.

Is this a joke? Why are people liking this post? - You actually want CASE KEENUM to be the future of our franchise? He signed a 2 year deal with a better franchise to be a starter. We would need to offer at least 3 years. - You would rather have TYROD TAYLOR than Harrison Phillips? Seriously? You disliked that trade? - You want COLIN KAEPERNICK .... a player that would completely BLOW UP our locker room and potentially franchise? ...do you guys have zero concept of how to build for the future?

I love the revisionist history on this message board. I remember everyone wanting Cordy's big contract gone because he had two injured feet and barely saw the field. Now it's another horrible "McBeane" decision I guess ... because we hate them now ... for some reason.

I've seen this in a number of threads now: "We need to draft a Left Tackle #1 and move Dawkins inside because ______" Why? Everyone said the same thing about Cordy Glenn and I didn't understand that either. 1. He's the only player on our Offensive Line that has an above average PFF grade: https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/dion-dawkins/11818 2. "He's not long enough to play tackle" ... what? He has 35'' arm length, which is above average for any tackle. http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/dion-dawkins?id=2557875 3. He has ZERO help inside ... which is important, because bad guard play is making him do more iso with worse communication. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-2018-nfl-offensive-line-rankings-all-32-teams-units-after-week-6 Most importantly he's 24 years old. ... he can run block and pass block ... and he plays with a mean streak. Please stop this stupid narrative that we desperately need a Left Tackle. We need Wide Receivers and basically every other O-Line position first.

I think you just answered your own question there. Fans are getting drunk and having fun with it because there's literally nothing else left to do. It's better than crying about it.

Bring in [insert horrible coach] and fire McBeane because I don't understand what a rebuild is.

Anybody saying that our coach and GM need to be fired ... please stop. They took us to the playoffs last year and this is a REBUILD. It does not happen in one season.

"Morbidly Obese"

Is there a way to filter out and block all threads that have a spelling error in the title?

I would have kept all of our vets on their crappy contracts so we can go 7-9 for another two decades because I'm dumb. *EDIT* I also don't know what dead cap is and I'm surprised/angry that we didn't sign everyone this off-season.
