SHE is a Michigan fan and scheduled a bunch of high level meetings the afternoon of the draft
Were the meetings about the draft?

It's a good take.
I personally believe if Beane REALLY wanted to get to 2, it wouldn't have been a lowball offer.

Enough with the absolutes. That's why OP catches so much flak, and he's not the only one. All these statements about how we definately overpayed, or how someone will be a bust are grating. If you can see into the future, buy winning lottery tickets, buy the team, and make any personel decisions you want. If you cannot see into the future, stop talking as if you can. Stop posting opinion as foregone conclusion. Start saying things like "In a few years I believe Allen will be revealed as a bust." or "A few years from now I think it will be clear the 2018 draft was a bust."
This should be stickied, imho.

We suckered a HIGH 3rd for Tyrod out of these guys.
But yeah, they're brilliant. -

So you are good with the o line and we corp as is? You think we have a real offense right now
Nope, and I never said anything close to that. Maybe if I post it again it will be more clear?
"Wide receivers with NFL experience > no-name freshmen and sophomore receivers in a bad college program."If you'd like to disagree with that, please, feel free. But don't make stuff up.

Mock drafts or grading a draft immediately after it happens.
These two things are completely useless and drives me nuts.
No one has any idea who teams are going to draft and no one has any idea how these kids are going to perform once they get on an NFL field.
Speaking of useless, how about a 2019 mock? You know certain draft "experts" are going to spew those out over the next week. -

Interesting Hybrid type player. They are trying to stack the D.
Couldn't be happier. Lots of cash for offensive free agents next year, plus all of our draft picks. I don't like us for 2019, but we'll be a force in 2020.

Zay was "sure handed" also...
So was Sammy. Never dropped a ball in practice!

Gotta say, I'm not encouraged with a project QB starting behind this current o-line.
Valid. The good news is, he's used to a crappy o-line, and can move well for a big guy. Can't wait to see how this unfolds.

LOL I think you mis-spelled "responded to politely", but surely. Here you go:
Nice.
My style on this board have been well established for years and were well known to the moderators when I was invited, but if they want to un-mod me and spare me the work, oh woe.
What do you think you've just proven here? Geez, you really DO need this spelled out for you.
My quote: "Let's see what he can do with a strong supporting cast before running him out of town?"
Your quote: "Do you really see anyone "running him out of town?"
After suggesting that there was a lot of negativity toward him in other posts, I pointed out that I was being figurative with "run out of town" and that you, incorrectly, took it literally. I'm still not convinced you know what that means. Point is, even after I clarified myself, you tried to tell me what I meant.
It sure seems that is how you, sir, "encourage football to be discussed here." It's a bad look, especially for a mod.

You asked if I'd read the board. Not figurative action.
This seems like gratuitous insult. Since I'm involved I don't want to moderate, but this isn't how we encourage football to be discussed here.
Actually, all you do is deflect. Reread my original quote that you jumped on and tell me where I said what you said I said.
That's what a more seasoned mod would do. Actually, a more seasoned mod wouldn't be this combative in the first place. I don't have confidence in your longevity. -

In any case, I don't think the fans have the power to "run him out of town".
Figure of speech. You took it literally. I meant it figuratively.
I get that some people preferred Rosen, and I feel your pain that you didn't get the guy you wanted. I personally don't see it with Rosen, and think he will spend a lot of time on IR very early in his career. Time will tell.
7 minutes ago, Epstein's Mother said:Good post. I would think anyone on this board who thinks their voice is heard at OBD is delusional.
Ever hear of a "figure of speech?" Or maybe you didn't bother reading what was actually written before kissing up to the mod?
-
I'm on board with this. I would have been fine with any of the Top 4 not named Rosen. Attitude aside, the guy strikes me as skinny and fragile. For his sake, I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see him getting up after a big hit.

Is Lauletta "pissed" that there were 107 "mistakes" before him?

Call me crazy, but wide receivers with NFL experience > no-name freshmen and sophomore receivers in a bad college program.

Not impressed with this regime yet. They have a lot to prove yet.
Ending the playoff drought wasn't impressive enough for you? Were you expecting a Super Bowl win in the first year? Would that have impressed you?
Some people just aren't very realistic.-

Edmunds is so exciting for sooo many reasons!
PS. He has a similar face and nose to Talley?! Yes, no?
Actually, YES! I was trying to place it. You nailed it.

I am not running him out of town.
I have said all along that every top QB in this class is flawed.
Some in more than one way.at least this guy is smart with a big arm, large hands and big healthy body.
Now if they can teach him to set his feet it might fix his accuracy.
Oh, I wasn't singling you out. And you're right about there not being a consensus #1 QB in this draft. It's subjective, and there are valid knocks on all of them. I'm just glad we took our shot.-

Many on here wouldn't want Cain, mainly because he went to Clemson.
You have to take advantage of an opportunity to add a player named Hercules.
One could say the same about "Equanimeous"

Last year, Allen was throwing to 2 sophomores and 3 freshmen. Not a single Wyoming running back, receiver or tight end was a starter the previous year. Let's see what he can do with a strong supporting cast before running him out of town?

Gronk also has to face Minkah Fitzpatrick twice a year.

Just me or does Baker Mayfield have the same vibe as The Miz?

True. But until USC proves it can develop a QB who can play in the NFL, it's still USC.
