I felt good about him, until he said well done steak…

Buncha nerds I tell ya

Ah cool! No Yorktown, NY...Lacrosse town USA

They replaced Kirk Cousins with a cheaper Kirk Cousins with a stupid haircut. This makes me chuckle.

It is cool that they are inviting all these UB guys. Once-in-a-lifetime experience and you go home with some swag. And sometimes you find a Cam Lewis or J'Marcus Ingram.

I think this is part of what goes into the reset as well. With all the new blood and fresh young leaders, they can't lose the team. The other group was getting very stale. This reset changes the attitude in the room. So unless Josh turns on them, they will be here. I am not implying they reset the roster to buy themselves time. I am just saying the reset was badly needed and means they will be safe for at least 2 years 100%, unless they go 5-12 with a fully healthy team.

Alright so if Josh loves talking draft what's his burner account here?

We will win the east

Agreed. Van Pran is not competitng with McGovern who will be in the starting 5 no matter what. Van Pran is competing with David Edwards/Collins. I would not slee on Edwards. Van Pran would have to look so good in there that they move McGovern back to LG. It’s all about playing the best 5.

Haha “talking”

When most of the league is going small it does make sense to go big. All these tiny DBs and 220 lb linebackers could be in some trouble.

The Pats never did. We seem to get the shaft with that kind of stuff. Keon is some dominating physically that I feel he will get called for some of those just because it looks so violent. I love how he manhandles DBs. It just seems like media and refs have it out for us!

He's going to get called for OPI a lot because he is big. Same way Josh barely gets roughing calls because he is big.

Oh now he looks like the next camp hero!

nah. I'll take Joey Slye though

I don't have a problem with Dupree, but an extremely short-armed edge guy is really not their style. Carl Lawson is also a t-rex guy. Ogbah is the best scheme fit for what they like IMO if you want an edge player.

I wonder if that is how he bagged Hailee too. Smooth operator that Josh Allen.

Beane has talked a bunch about the new kickoff rules and how it could change your special teams corps a bit. It would seem that guys with super long arms are going to be more important than ever as they have to engage, disengage, and make a tackle. He mentioned this when talking about Olofosio with 32-inch arms as well as Javon Solomon with nearly 34 inch arms. Nicholas Morrow has freakishly long arms nearly 35. I just bring this up because it gives the Justin Shorters and Tyrell Shavers of the world a bit of an advantage in terms of how they can help on special teams. Cephus has long arms as well. I know that doesn't excite people, but the special teams corps is made up of Gilliam, linebackers, DBs and WRs so you do have to have depth receivers who can help on teams. At the end of the day, I do think they must really like Shorter or Shavers and I am guessing one of them makes the roster. ALso have to add Hollins to the list of long-armed guys who will be a factor on teams and is a deep threat.

Yeah I agree with Grable possibly over Van Denmark. I like RVD, but this move allows you to kind of reset the minimum contract and you used a 6th on the guy. But instinct having seen very little of Grable is that there is a world in which they both make it.

Not that it’s that important, but Gallup signed with the Raiders for up to 3 million. It’s interesting to see the going rate for a guy of his caliber.

Beckham makes more sense than he ever did before. Adds a vet who is close with Adam Henry and could be a great influence on the Louisiana kid in Coleman. Beckham has a weird media reputation, but his teammates love him and he is a grinder. He adds legitimacy to the WR core and fills some of the void left by Diggs leaving. He also doesn’t have to be the guy…just a piece of the puzzle. He’s probably getting closer to the end of the line, but I think he could help. If nothing else he can teach Coleman many tricks of the trade. In another thread I made the argument for Mecole Hardman, who is on the small side but obviously extremely fast and would fit well in the “4” role. He isn’t tiny. MVS could do it. Jamal Agnew. Scotty Miller. Michael Gallup is interesting as well and would be a nice upgrade. He also played for Henry in Dallas and had one of his better years then. But if you don’t sign OBJ I would probably just wait and see what shakes loose from these teams who drafted wide receivers. Also, I’m going to keep riding the lonely Terrance Marshall Jr. train who needs to get out of Carolina purgatory. Safety I would just wait to see what Simmons, Diggs, Jackson decide to do. If any of them want to play for cheap, I think they all fit and are upgrades. Other DBs that make sense are former Commander Terrell Burgess, who is a strong special teams guy and former Lion Will Harris who can play corner, nickel, safety and is excellent on teams. I like where we are with the DL and OL. I would be more than happy to add Ogbah. The other guys are meh to me. Obviously you can only sign maybe one of these guys, but those are my thoughts on who I think can help.

OBJ thing seems inevitable at some point. But I do think they will add one more piece to the room in June.

Defintely the right move. Not sure he has earned anything long-term at this point, but I hope he has 2 great years to prove himself here.

They took a big swing on Harty and were incredibly wrong on him. They expected him to be WR4 and give them inside and outside flexibility and it just was a complete failure. At least they took a swing but it failed. Sherfield should have never played as much as he did, but injuries to Gabe, Harty being terrible, and Diggs taking himself out of games led to that result. Honestly, I would have rather those reps went to Shorter instead of keeping him on "IR." At some point, they have to kind of develop what they have and I think that is what they may be trying to do here.

I love that QB17 does all the drills everyone else is doing. Something to be said for that. I am not sure how many QBs on his level participate in all these agility drills and things.
