I've changed my mind about this topic, I am now fully against it. Should I start my own thread?

The XFL is the best thing to happen to the AAF. Support that might have been tepid from the NFL will be significantly stronger now just out of spite. The NFL has neglected having a minor league for too long out of fear that it would negatively affect it's free farm system (NCAA). Glad the XFL is coming back around just for the AAF's sake.

Just wrapping my head around the fact that your decision warranted it's own thread about a player who has been discussed in probably half of the threads on the front page

So, DL/TE/OL in the first 3 rounds in some order

Stranger things have happened, but I believe consensus from the rumor mill is the only 2 QBs that are likely to go in the top 10 are Haskins and Murray

Look at OP's name - his topic is a surprise to you?

The draft is SO...FAR...AWAY

I'm not even embarrassed to wear my old whiter jersey, which is an embarrassing jersey

IMO Dillard is being artificially pushed up people's boards because he is seen as the best pure LT prospect in the draft, where most of the top tackles are RTs and people are preemptively deciding that teams are going to move Jonah Williams to G. He might be a decent prospect, but he is not a top 10 player in this draft.

What was said?

Tim is a good writer who absolutely loves being a troll. He had a ridiculous and protracted back and forth with some 80s hair band lead singer's wife some some reason or another that turned me off of defending him. Some funny quips in that exchange, but at the end of the day, are you really spending your day publicly taking shots at someone's missus, that's a good use of your time?

Aw crap, now I like him a bit more...

Someone needs a hug. You ok buddy? Josh Jacobs is not a top 10 player in this draft, he is not coming out with Saquon Barkley-level hype. We're not drafting a RB in the 1st when there are very good DL and OL on the board. The only 2 players who could possibly be drafted at 9 who are not linemen are DK Metcalf and perhaps Hockenson, but I'm doubtful they would spend the 9th pick on Hock when they could pick up Irv Smith at 40.

this will not happen. You build the trenches first

Guys who post negative spins on everything seem to believe they are "speaking truth to power" and delude themselves into thinking they are doing something greater than collecting a paycheck. The issue I have with columnists like Sully and beat reporters like Rodak is that they don't actually break stories or add anything new to the discussion, they just repeat what was already reported by someone else with a negative spin and maybe pull a stat or two from a couple minutes of research. The one guy out there who I see actually taking this "no holds barred" reporting approach and actually putting issues of substance on the table, breaking stories and showing they actually have good inside sources is Manish Mehta that reports on the Jets.

I don't enjoy Rodak very much, but people shouldn't make those types of personal attacks on anyone just because they don't appreciate their work. That said, if you want to troll, expect the hate.

Pretty much everything about the topic sentence is wrong. From "an top" to describing Penn as anything less than pedestrian and old.

I don't understand how Schopp still has a job. You guys should just turn the dial when his show is on and stop talking about him. Indifference to that show is what will get it cancelled, talking about it cause you hate it just allows them to stay employed.

Time for a stress test, one of you guys meet him at the airport and tell him to remove his jacket.

The draft is actually deep at both WR and RB, so I dunno where you are getting this from. There are 3 solid TEs and about 3 more pretty decent receiving options as well. I don't have the same confidence in Teller as you seem to have. I don't expect him to crack the starting lineup.

Dexter Lawrence is a 1 tech, we have 2 1-techs on the roster. This pick doesn't make any sense.

Listen to the podcast he did with Fairburn and Buscaglia, Beane says that Ziggy's not healthy yet. Hard to sign a guy if you can't sign off on his medicals.

Probably should have called it a day at 132 posts...

Beane is awesome. That is all
