We'll see if my source is right, but I've been told it'll be against the Giants.

I think he'd be a fine pickup (though there may be diminishing returns with stocking up on basically all guys that are purely deep threats like him and Foster), but Brown was trending down before Baltimore ever made a switch. Over the last 4 starts with Flacco, Brown had less than 30 yards in 3 of them.

Think he ends up going top 5 when it's all said and done, maybe top 1.

I'm honestly not all that surprised and no doubt Hunt would fill a major need for this team.

He was my Day 3 sleeper choice from last year's draft; really cool background on him. He didn't even play football in high school; he was a high school bowler (and sounds like he was good enough to contemplate a professional bowling career). He had always liked football though and looked up "How to be a Quarterback" on YouTube and started trying some of the lessons out in person. Ended up having a connection to Akili Smith and Akili let him join him for some training sessions. He eventually asked his junior college coach if he could join the team as a QB and was named the 9th string QB. Through a crazy series of injuries and him just ascending a bit, he eventually got a chance to play, ended up transferring to a Division 2 school, won the Division 2 championship, won the Division 2 equivalent of the Heisman, and here we are.

I can only speak for myself, but I've been saying this literally all year and maybe last season too. The stats are nice, but if you've watched him play, it's pretty clear to see that he's the result of an awesome scheme and awesome surrounding talent. He's a fine QB, probably above-average starter, maybe just average if you're a little more pessimistic. But to me, what makes the Rams special is that their roster is just stacked with talent everywhere and signing Goff to a massive contract will cost them a lot of that talent.

That might be an apt comparison, and I wouldn't want my team to sign Foles either. To me, you either sign a difference making QB or you stick with rookie contracts. Goff and Foles, to this point, are not difference makers IMO. They can get the job done if everything around them is good, but I wouldn't want to spend $20+ million per year on that; would much rather stack the rest of the roster with talent like the Rams have done up to this point.

I don't buy it honestly. I don't think the Eagles will tag him.

I guess it depends on what you think the national opinion of Goff is. It seems to me like a lot of people are coming around to the idea that Goff just isn't good, but maybe that's just the football people that I follow. I think McVay is a very good coach; don't understand the god-like following he has already though. But Goff...I simply don't think he's good. In my opinion, if the Rams are smart, they'll draft another QB and let Goff walk when his rookie deal is up. Barring some serious development from him, I would not want to be the team that gives him his second contract.

I've been seeing him projected for the 4-6 round range lately. We'll see. I think the combine will help a lot in terms of creating some separation between all of these talented WRs. Some people have him listed as like the #5 WR in the class while others have him listed as like the #25 WR.

They saw Allen play like 2 or 3 times. I remember seeing people talk about them never going but there were actually reports out there of the few games they went to see Wyoming play.

I think it's a running joke on #DraftTwitter because fans freak out at every single mock no matter what these people do, but I imagine he also knew he was going to get killed for a lot of this stuff. It's really interesting though because he's very well connected and evaluates prospects as well as anyone out there IMO. I don't know how much of this actually comes to fruition, but I don't think this stuff can be completely written off either. I also agree with a couple of the takes personally, though I have Oliver as the #3 prospect in the draft so I definitely don't agree there lol.

Yeah, the Metcalf pick isn't remotely close to the crazy parts. People are going nuts about, for a few examples: Bosa falling to 3 Quinnen Williams falling to 5 Oliver falling to 28 (Zierlein also says multiple NFL teams view Oliver as a linebacker/edge prospect, not a defensive tackle) Kyler going top 5 Haskins as the 3rd QB taken

There's simply no chance this would happen. The Bucs get out of his entire contract for free by cutting him; there's zero incentive for them to attach draft picks to unload him. I'm not entirely convinced the Bills should sink even more money into the DT position, but McCoy would be an upgrade over Kyle Williams in the very least. If Buffalo is in fact interested, I think they should send a Day 3 pick to Tampa for him as another poster mentioned. The contract is structured in a way that is probably significantly better than Buffalo would be able to sign him to in free agency anyways so a trade would be the preferred route here IMO.

I don't know if anyone else has pointed this out yet, but no he doesn't. He has the Jets at 6 and the Dolphins at 5.5. You're looking at their record from this past season. Barnwell isn't even predicting that this is how many games each of these teams will win; he's just predicting what he thinks Vegas will list as their over/unders. The Bills will almost certainly be between 5.5-6.5; they always are and unless they make multiple huge acquisitions, that's where they will be again this year. Nothing they can realistically do this offseason will push them above 6.5 as far as a Vegas line goes. We might have higher expectations than that as fans of the team, but I think it's basically a guarantee that Barnwell is within a half game of the Bills O/U by the time we hit August.

I think he's already up there honestly. I would expect him to be a first round pick, probably top 15 unless he unexpectedly runs in like the 4.55-4.60 range and his medicals reveal something super serious. I think it's pretty much a certainty that we'll hear at least one or two teams having a medical red flag on him; those reports come out even with guys that haven't been injured. But ultimately, I think he's very likely to go in the first round as long as he tests out as expected.

Donald was a far more polished pass rusher than Oliver in college but Oliver to me is still one of the top 3 prospects in this draft. Would love to have him here.

I don't really have any reservations about Oliver or Gary. I think Gary is a flawed and risky prospect but I don't think there's really anything that he can do from now to April that would make me cross him off the list; he's just a guy where you're REALLY projecting what he could be in the future if you take him that high, much like Allen and Edmunds were.

Like I mentioned in one of the other threads, the Redskins' fanbase has completely turned on the franchise and they have roughly zero hope right now. I expect Snyder and Co. to make a huge splash to try to galvanize some sort of excitement; they want to build a new stadium but the past year or two, their fans have just stopped going to games. Rumor is that Daniel Jones is the guy they want, but I think they'll go for Haskins or Kyler Murray. Haskins is a potential franchise QB who happens to be a local kid; it makes too much sense for them to try to bring him in IMO given the state of the franchise. Kyler would be the alternative IMO simply because of how much excitement and intrigue he will bring to any team that takes him. I wouldn't be surprised if they have their sights set on trading up higher than #9 though.

Yeah I’m 100% on board with addressing OLine in the draft and or free agency.

My thing is that it seems to me that nobody can argue for why the current format is the best; rather it’s arguing that it’s not that bad. If the NFL were a brand new league and someone suggested they handle ties by having each team get the ball and whoever out scores the other wins, I don’t think there would be any disagreement. We’ve just been engrained to accept the current format. Imagine if in a tie game in baseball, if a team scored in the top of the 10th, it just ended the game. Or if the Sabres went into a shootout and the other team scored on their first attempt, that ended the game. It’s just silly. I understand and the idea that if your defense can’t get a stop, you don’t deserve to win, but why does the other team’s defense deserve to not even have to touch the field? It logically makes zero sense to keep the current format. The only real benefit of it is that it potentially ends the game quicker.

I’ll go with three WRs: 1. Deebo Samuel 2. Tyre Brady 3. Stanley Morgan

I think it’s worth mentioning that Jacksonville is desperate for a TE that can play and they’re cutting him. Granted it makes a ton of sense for them to do so with their cap but yeah, this wouldn’t be all that exciting of a pickup. I wouldn’t blame them for bringing him in though; he at least had the physical tools to be something. Better options out there IMO though.
