    Specifically: there are currently 3 players signed between pick 70 and pick 99 (Devin Singletary is one; a third just signed recently)

    Something about the rookie cap and later 3rd round picks - more negotiating room, apparently

    Pink is "estimated contract"

    Agents try to make a stand each year on some kind of contract negotiation. Seems this year they are focusing on those 3rd round picks.

    I remain terrified of this pick, and expect Oliver to have a rough transition to the NFL much like Edmunds did at times. I also thought Edmunds might have to change positions and those guys scare me. OTOH in two years it’s possible we have the best 3T/MLB combo in the NFL. 

     

    I’d be more skeptical if it wasn’t McBeane taking/developing them.

    Edmunds was great. Not sure how anyone could have expected more from him in his rookie season playing a new position.

    Kenny Golloday says otherwise. 

     

    Tre 'D' gotta get Golloday back before he can be mentioned as being the best.

    Pretty sure there isn't a single CB in the league today, even the elites of the elites, who hasn't had a rough game in their prime.

  4. He also mentioned that there were a lot of teams interested in Josh Allen and had him as their #1 or #2 QB on the board. Not sure if I completely believe that, but he claimed the Giants would have taken him if not Barkley, he claimed he was the #2 QB for the Browns. Arizona preferred Josh Allen. The idea was that he was high on everyone's board and much more favored than the national media realized.

    1 pick for say the next three years... who does he replace in the top 8? 

     

    Even this year he's a hard pick because you just don't know if his body will hold up... If I had to pick a QB for one year right now it would be hard picking Brees or Brady. 

    I'd take him over anyone besides maybe Rodgers.

    On the one hand, I have a lot of sympathy for your point of view.

     

    On the other hand, having myself to deal with two family members who have diagnosed neuropsychological deficits - if the ability to control himself is just gone, erased by neurological damage, it's kind of a slippery slope.  He may not be able to control aspects of his own actions. 

     

    It gets difficult to parse.  On the one hand, one can probably take responsibility for being aware that one has a deficit, and avoiding situations which involve that deficit.

    On the other hand, if the ability to think clearly and acknowledge deficits is gone...

     

    Like I said, in general I'm with you, but disease processes that affect thinking and decision making do create a fuzzy line. 

    If you don't get what I'm saying, then likely you have never have a family member with a head injury or psychiatric disorder, or an elder going into dementia and I hope you don't.

    I agree completely. But the comment I quoted talked about alcohol, drugs, or CTE potentially being the culprits. If somebody has a mental handicap, that's a completely different issue. I realize CTE is a mental issue as well, but you don't see that linked to raping elderly women often.

    Hide yo grandmas......

     

    seriously though it’s easy to judge... he obviously has issues... probably years of roid abuse and cte

     

    he has always seemed angry

     

    I pray for my enemies so I will pray for him as well... he needs it

    There comes a time when you can't blame anything besides yourself for your actions. Steroids, CTE, alcohol, whatever. His problems are his own. I mean, how many pro sports guys have those same obstacles? Are they going around raping old women? Those things are just an excuse.

     

    And that goes for everyone else. Blaming alcohol is stupid. Blaming drugs is stupid. Nothing is to blame. People have to take responsibility for their own actions.

     

    But yeah, it's easier to blame drugs or CTE and believe that you are not the one to blame.

    Lawyer said what he did was "immoral, not illegal" because he's married...not because he's a sexual deviant. How disgusting. Women are older than his mom. And 77 year old is more than twice his age. There's clearly a sick fetish thing going on..including *****

    Pretty sure the rape of women is illegal, at least that's what I've heard. But I'm no expert...
