Awesome! And you must be proud as hell.

‘87 was the first year for the draft combine and Conlan did not participate. We’ll never know his 40, but he wasn’t that slow. BTW, today is his birthday. Weird.

This^^^^^^^

If you’re gonna put nonsense like this out here, at least spell the name correctly. It’s Shane Conlan. And he would do well in today’s NFL. BTW, he never had a mullet.

If Gabe played through a high ankle sprain early in the season, as Beane mentioned recently then yes, we ALL under appreciate the man. I had the misfortune of having one of those in high school. Oh my God. Me trying to describe it wouldn’t do it justice. He’s a man.

Man, I didn’t want to mess up anyone’s day!! If you look back at the roster at that time, Milano had missed some time with soft tissue injuries. We also didn’t have a lot of holes in the roster, meaning if they “loved” someone, they had the right to reach, at that point in the draft. The kid was a reach at the time and still looks like they schitt the bed on that pick. That’s just the way I saw it at the time, and I would stand by my opinion, if I were to have an honest conversation with the personnel department. (Yeah…that’s gonna happen, Snappy)

Klein will be signed, then cut, then brought back after Game One of the regular season. He will be utilized like a chess piece, game-by-game, throughout the season. They don’t want to guarantee his entire yearly salary as a vested veteran, which they have to do if he’s on the squad for Game One. Speed is just as important as size. I’ve often said, if you could put Milano’s heart and head in Edmunds’ body…

Bernard was insurance for Milano. A depth piece.

The “base nickel” is here to stay for awhile. I couldn’t tell you exactly how many teams employ this strategy, but I’d venture to guess it’s well over 70%. The short passing game with 1 TE is here until someone makes it stop being productive. And colleges are actually supplying good QB’s with this offense, too. Now, the 43 alignment could very well “exist” in some form where one linebacker is a safety-linebacker hybrid. This is, for all intents and purposes, what we do with our nickel. You never see Johnson lining wide in any set. That’s not his strength and it would result in him immediately being challenged by any QB who paid attention in meetings.

If Drew Sanders is there when we pick at 27, I would not be surprised whatsoever if he’s the pick. Sanders offers great potential as an edge rusher along with having a great year working at the Mike spot for Arkansas. He and Campbell may both end up being serviceable-to-good pros, but Sanders checks just one more box than Campbell.

I witnessed it live. There’s a reason why a WR coach who was beloved by the players was sent packing, too. Was it all on Shakir? No. We were picking the proverbial WR trash heap by the end of the season. Do you really think they wanted to do this? Shakir was sitting there and they didn’t trust I’m enough to not sign CB and JB. I’ve no inside knowledge but I sure as hell can read football tea leaves.

Ralph was cheap.

He was having trouble with the playbook. Slot must recognize blitzes and act as an outlet, Shakir ended a couple drives early in the season by doing his job.

Would love Wagner, Hopkins, and a space eater. Totally. Hopkins (if we pull it off) will bring in a few low-cost vets, which we desperately need right now. I don’t want to count on Jordan Phillips and Shaq Lawson to be depth. Please, for the love of all that is holy, do not sign those guys again. Lawson playing with a chip on his shoulder is too much. Phillips doesn’t take conditioning seriously enough. Move on Beane. Neither are what they call consummate professionals.

Cannot go into the season with green DT’s and a green MLB. Recipe for disaster.

You are correct! But if we don’t sign Wagner, as a bridge, we’re gonna forced to reach for one. Again, Dodson cannot be “Plan A” going into camp. It’s slim pickings out here now.

We were terribly mismanaged for a loooooong time. The Jets are the Jets. Miami had Dave freaking Wannstedt for way too long. A convergence of circumstances certainly helped move them along. Jesus…no wonder we drink a lot.

We don’t have enough holes to have this number of picks. DT and MLB are the only glaring needs and a future S is close behind. Rookies don’t consistently contribute on 99% of championship rosters. The “alphas” get picked up early and they have potential to help. But, generally speaking, we’d be drafting for other teams to take from us on cutdown day. You can’t stash them all on IR. We cannot go to camp with Dodson as the MLB. I hope the board doesn’t implode when we pick one at 27.

Yes. Gotta keep it easy for these old eyes. Blatz Beer did a number on me from the 4th grade on…

I’m horrible with flow charts, which I absolutely need to try to figure out the picks changing hands. Holy smokes. You put some time and effort into this. Could you do one without trades for us kids in the exceptional children classes?

Just one and I can finally have a remote chance to rest in peace. When the time comes, of course.

My first guess would be any and all games with a kickoff time of 5:00PM Eastern or later.

The pick is needed to fill out roster needs, not on a C who could be had in the latter stages of day 3.

This is possible. They’ll give the young ones every chance to prove themselves in camp.
