Coach Tuesday

I don’t even think Shorter makes the team.

He is terrible.

The Chiefs LOVE Polk and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he’s their first round pick.

I oddly think he could be used as a "big slot" type (spare me the "your mom" jokes here please). When you watch him run drills he's surprisingly fluid and agile. Maybe he'd be better off on the move than as a boundary receiver.

Just fyi, that same piece by McGinn notes concerns about Legette's intelligence. He's not only a one-year wonder but he's also a late bloomer and the whispers are that it's because he's just not very bright (or perhaps, to be fair, learning disabled). In any event I would think that's just as much if not more of a red flag for this regime than Mitchell's Type 1 diabetes. This regime likes students of the game.

https://theathletic.com/5416007/2024/04/16/nfl-drafting-methods-insight-massey-thaler/?source=user_shared_article Great article from the Athletic. Basically says that teams routinely over-estimate their own ability to predict player performance and as a result overestimate the value of their own specific picks. Instead, they should maximize the number of lottery tickets they’re buying. Thoughts?

Leg day?

Stick to draft rumors please!!

He’s a FA after this season, which limits his value unless the acquiring team is sure they can extend.

Beane is a wizard!

I think they’d rather give him one more chance under a new secondary coach.

What’s better - Aiyuk at $30m/year (reportedly what he wants) or A Mitchell on a rookie contract? As I’ve been saying - Beane should find a way to land TWO of the top 5-6 rookie WRs from this class.

He’s Tim Duncan 2.0.

Tipsters gonna tip.

Totally agree. A trade up for Thomas if he falls, or trading up one or two slots for Mitchell or McConkey, then an aggressive move up to the top 8 of round 2 to “double dip” is my dream scenario, AND I’d add a vet like OBJ. Two kids who can grow together (Worthy and Thomas, Ladd and Mitchell or Legette) and you’ve fixed the position and cost-controlled it for four years without leveraging your future with a massive trade up. Plus add a vet like OBJ and suddenly the worst WR room in the league is one of the deepest.
