Can't take credit for this because I heard it somewhere else... podcast I think: LEGATRON

This is top 3 in my best shows ever. I loved the way they developed Nacho throughout the series. It was the reverse of Saul or Walt in BB. What happened to him was inevitable, but also loved the way he went out. Everyone keeps saying Mike is Breaking Bad, but I disagree. He's already exactly where he's always been. He was never exactly good. He's always been a really good complex character... kind of an anti-hero. For all the good he tries to do (save Saul in the desert, help his family, try desperately to convince Gus to let Nacho go, etc.) he does an equal amount of bad... but he's conflicted. Mike is what he is and even was what he was back when his son was alive and he was a cop. Kim is interesting in terms of her character development. I don't know how I feel about it. I'll say this, I don't think she dies. I also don't think she exactly dumps him. What happens to her (I believe) connects to the way they've begun every single season so far. Finally, I can't decide if I like the artistic beginnings or if they feel forced. One thing I liked was the symbol of the ice cream parallel to Jimmy finally really becoming part of the cartel pretty much officially. Jimmy innocently about to eat ice cream. Cartel takes him to the dessert. Ice cream eaten by ants by the time he gets back

I just saw "Rachel Bush" as part of the thread title and clicked on it expecting pictures. 2 pages in and I'm horrified there aren't any.

The analysis for all the other teams are actually interesting. This write-up for Buffalo is so boring.

Without searching for it did we cut anyone? Yesterday this thread said we were at 90 already. Was that inaccurate?

BEST DRAFT EVER!!!

BEST DRAFT EVER!!!!

I agree. I also wonder if Crowder is really a lock to make the roster. Honestly, with McKenzie on a 2 year contract and Crowder on a 1 year contract I'd almost prefer McKenzie over Crowder. That said I think we keep both.. I would like our WR depth chart to be: Diggs Davis Crowder Shakir McKenzie Kumerow Stash Stevenson on the PS. I don't know if we keep 7 WRs again.

I think we're going to end up with some pretty good players on our PS this season and other teams will poach throughout the year. As much hate as Stevenson gets I hope we can stash him on there because I do still think he has potential to develop into a good depth WR and our PR/KR.

You forgot Taiwan Jones at RB. He's likely on the team. That's 4 RBs. Do we keep 7 WRs like last year? We aren't keeping 8. Like Jones, Touchdown Jesus is on the team for ST ability. I wonder if Stevenson and Hodgins get cut. Possibility of stashing on the PS. I don't know how Crowder's or McKenzie contracts work but I don't think either are roster locks. Sweeney is probably gone. You forgot Quentin Morris at FB/TE.

I recognize his name! WOHOO!!! In all seriousness, this brings some of that speed we all wanted and seems like good value.

Beane said yesterday we essentially wouldn't pick 4 times in the 6th round. I hope we pick up 1 or 2 5th round picks. Tariq Woolen? Khalil Shakir? Bo Melton? Justin Ross?

Yup

Has said what? Zero designed runs from Allen? Fewer designed runs? What does fewer mean? How will he react when the game is on the line or at certain critical junctures and he knows he has one of the best weapons in the NFL at his disposal? Daboll's departure might be a good thing. It might not. We have zero evidence as far as Dorsey goes

Anyone else notice that the predicted run on QBs didn't happen? 1 QB selected in round 1. That means Willis, Corral, etc. might very well go in the 2nd and push some prospects Beane might covet like Breece Hall (or Christian Watson or Skyy Moore or... etc. ) down the board for us to draft in the 2nd or viably trade up for. More excited about tomorrow than I was today since 2nd and 3rd rounds are supposed to be the strength of this draft. We did? So you're familiar with Dorsey as a playcaller?

Part of keeping Allen upright might involve drafting an RB we can rely on so we can eliminate all the QB designed runs, which I've always disliked.

Pssssst... anyone else notice that the predicted run on QBs didn't happen? 1 QB selected in round 1. That means Willis, Corral, etc. might very well go in the 2nd and push some prospects Beane might covet like Breece Hall (or Christian Watson or Skyy Moore or... etc. ) down the board for us to draft in the 2nd or viably trade up for. More excited about tomorrow than I was today since 2nd and 3rd rounds are supposed to be the strength of this draft.

Who cares? He's a moron who's acting as his own agent and isn't even engaging in contract talks. He's going to be the end of his own career.

Might not have just been Dallas Buffalo was worried about. Baltimore could use a CB and Beane might have deemed that 4th rounder less valuable than ensuring he got Elam.

I mean... I wasn't remotely expecting Elam to be the pick, but I know ***** about college football. This just proves to me all my podcasting pre-draft was pretty meaningless. I think this is one of those typical Beane "traits" guys. Seems like a guy who has all the physical tools in the world but just needs some refining. Well hey... everyone hating the pick might just consider we just drafted a 4th piece of our secondary--a physical specimen who you can't even say is raw, just needs some tweaking--who is playing with 3 veteran all pro secondary players and is being coached by 2 former DBs in Sean McDermott and Leslie Frazier. I think this makes sense.

This thread is slowing down. It's crunch time here. Just 70 minutes to reach 100 pages

This is a weird draft. I'm almost more excited about the players we're going to draft in rounds 2 and 3 (and even 4) than I am about round 1. I'm more nervous about who we'll draft in round 1 than anything.

Buffalo trades up for Kyle Hamilton in the 1st and then Breece Hall in the 2nd.

Agree. Trade up for Kyle Hamilton.
