Yobogoya!

Those "back spasms" are flaring up again, huh

Kyle Orton year might be my favorite of the drought. At least top 3. It was peak **** show entertainment. I’ll never forget the slide short of the sticks when he looked primed to pick up a first down. Guy gave no f’s and I can’t even hate him for it.

Beane saw the Pats grab Brown and knew he had to answer. The arms race is on now 😤

Well seems pertinent to this thread to mention that the Rams turned pick 26 into pick 13 the following year by trading DOWN (and picking up additional compensation to boot). That's how they were able to select Simpson at 13 this year -- and yeah that's a polarizing pick to say the least. But the move to get there by kicking their pick down the road with a team that has consistently picked in the top half of the draft (the falcons) was pretty savvy. Contrast that with Beane's nickel-and-dime trade downs this year (also from pick 26). He's historically been open to trading down as well but I don't think we've leveraged other teams' future picks as much as we should.

To be fair, not sure how many GM's have made high risk/ high reward work the way Snead has -- and it helps that he has McVay, as opposed to, say, Jeff Fisher like he had for the first five years he was GM of that franchise. The way they've made "f them picks" work sustainably with small down windows is almost unheard of. And it helps they're in a fair weather market like LA where nobody cares enough about football to call for their jobs in the down time, lol.

I’m not sure they really have a choice in the matter.

That one comment may have tanked all my offseason enthusiasm. I didn’t have much to begin with Joe why you gotta do me like that? 😭

No I was more or less serious 😅 I'd be perfectly fine with using our top picks for premium veteran talent and building depth with the rest. Sure you might run into a situation where you miss out on Justin Jefferson's rookie deal for a bigger $ Diggs contract but considering how much money we've blown in free agency and how many premium picks we've squandered in the Beane era? I'm willing to take the proven guy every time at this point.

Going forward Beane should just trade all his day 1+2 picks for proven elite players and stick to drafting on day 3.

I'm guessing at least one of those votes is a McDermott lurker account. Classic McD move to go CB here.

As usual, Beane is at his best when he isn’t making a selection. He peaked last night 😅

Ya have to admit it's some juicy stuff. I thought this was gonna blow over quick but now I've got my popcorn out and I'm dying for more.

My one hope in all of this is that we end up getting Patriots week 1 at home and the stadium audio guy plays nothing but Coldplay songs every timeout.

They got a good corner but they’ve had those for years. Basically was a push for them.

Are they leaving or are they "leaving"? Like I said, plenty of top .01% own property in NYC even if they don't technically live there. Maybe they're just moving their interests out of state. Like most communist policies the ones who are going to suffer are the working middle-class. The ultra wealthy will figure it out.
