Coach Tuesday

Rarely discussed but I think the league would be better if RGIII had made it. He’s a really interesting dude.

Please name one

I would love to know who in the pro personnel dept is pounding the table for guys like Cephus and Hollins. This is the worst group of receivers I’ve ever seen. It’s almost comical.

Absent a preseason mega move they have absolutely not done enough and it borders on gross negligence. Coming into this offseason they had a weak WR room. They let Davis walk (fine), decided to pay Diggs to play elsewhere (not ideal) and came into the historically deep at WR draft with a boatload of draft assets and a glaring need at the position. They drafted one. Maybe all of their receivers improve and Coleman becomes a stud right out of the gate. Anything less than that and serious questions arise about what, the flying fudge, they were doing in this critical offseason. Not that it really matters: Beane, like Kevyn Adams, behaves like no one is really holding him accountable.

No. Granted they can still try to do something before the season starts but this draft was a huge missed opportunity for a front office that ALWAYS talks itself into addressing offense some future year. Always. These guys have rules in their heads.

Sacks translate.

Beane is Costco shopping in this draft. Just-in-case needs and values. Steady Eddie. White socks fairway-crawling Beane.

McGinn’s writeup: 4. SEDRICK VAN PRAN-GRANGER, Georgia (6-4, 301, 5.19, 4): Started 44 straight games as a two-time national champion and two-time captain. “He played a long time; you can’t overlook those guys,” one scout said. “Smart as ***** and he’s a great kid. He could be a starter.” Didn’t run well and his arms measured 31 3/8, the shortest of the top 12 centers. “Loved his wiring and makeup, his size, his strength,” a second scout said. “Foot speed and overall athletic ability have some limitations. He’s a little tight in the hips and gets off balance at times. His arm length caused a little bit of (concern) just being matched up in pass pro. I think he’s gonna start in Year 1. His makeup is true starter. He’s a leader. He’s exactly what you want in a profile for the position.” Hands were 9 ½. “His time shocked me,” said a fourth scout. “I thought he’d be at least a 5-flat guy. He’s not a real physical player but, boy, is he quick and can get to the second level and block downfield. He needs to get stronger and be more physical.” From New Orleans.

Horrible television.

From Bob McGinn’s draft files: 6. RAY DAVIS, Kentucky (5-8 ½, 208, 4.52, 3-4): In a five-year career at three schools he led Temple in rushing twice, Vanderbilt once and Kentucky once. “He runs hard as *****,” one scout said. “He’s a f------ load. He’s productive, and they (Kentucky) never have an O-line. Never. I don’t know where he goes but every time I saw him on tape he was making yards.” One of 15 children, he spent much of his youth living in homeless shelters and foster care. “Three transfers – I didn’t want to like the guy because of all the transfers,” a second scout said. “The difference between him and Corum is this guy is more explosive. Made some one-handed catches. Height is the only problem. That and he does take a little punishment. I would rather have Corum because I know what he does play after play, but this guy is tough and more explosive. He’ll be 25 (in November).” Finished with 746 carries for 3,626 (4.9) and 29 TDs plus 94 catches, including an FBS high of seven touchdown receptions for a RB in 2023. “I like him way more than Wright,” said a third scout. “Tough, tough, determined, competitive, strength, explosiveness.” From San Francisco.

He may be the best RB in the draft. Beane is 100% need-shopping in this draft - it is what it is, he has zero job pressure. Good players but I question the value.

He may be the best back in the draft.

Horrible television.

This is horrible television. Needs to be updated for the new generation of content viewers.

“We really like our receiver room. What the media thinks is a need and what we think is a need don’t always match up.” - Beane tomorrow

Baltimore wins the draft every year. Not psyched about Beane’s use of draft assets so far. This is a super important draft and he’s being really passive.

Want to have some fun? Watch his basketball highlights.

What kind of a post is this. For all the time you spend putting together a Round 1 mock you seem to have no sense of how the draft works as a whole. I have my issues with Beane but he excels on Day 3, there is no dispute.

The comp I’ve been pushing upthread.

He profiles as exactly the kind of guy Beane would overpay for in free agency so…

Brainiac overachiever.

Some genius said the same thing upthread.

He is D Hop

I am optimistic on this one. I think he’s more D Hop than Kelvin Benjamin.

I’m good with it. Won’t disappear in January. Faster than you guys think - his combine was wild.
