This is supposedly a deep draft for wide receivers. I hope we don't presume the wr room is set to the point that deep threat/large catch radius wr is off the table.

I'd be fine with Travis Etienne or Najee Harris at 30. Edge is another position you might want to invest an early pick on. The new Panther's FA is a good depth signing, but we could use some youth there. Won't be anyone worth taking in the first, however. I suspect if they don't go RB, CB is another option late first.

I like your idea, but you may need to get to pick 5 - 7 for Pitts. I don't know how those forumulas for draft picks work, but I rather doubt #30, a late second rounder, next years second which equates to a third this year and a couple of sixth rounders gets you close. I suspect it does not.

I dunno. I don't do Facebook, Twitter, all that social media. Does that mean it's suspect? It was just a joke, in any event.

FIFY

Just call it a kilt.

They're just going to give him the team.

Well, Red King, I am sure this an entirely objective analysis . . .

I like an obscure sci-fi writer named R.A. Lafferty. Arrive at Easterwine is one of my personal favorites, but his work of historical fiction about Native Americans in Oklahoma, Okla Hanali, is arguably his best book and very good. Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parsifal is the greatest medieval epic, by turns humorous, amorous, and mystical. I recommend the Cyril Edwards translation. Ted Hughes' selected translation of the Metamorphoses, Tales From Ovid, is well done if you are interested in mythology in late antiquity.

Well, if you were on the fence about whether it's worth it, that ought to do it.

I also think improving the run game is going to be near the top of Beane's to do list.

We had a great year, but as McDermott noted in his presser, every year is a new opportunity with new challenges. The sort of allocation priorities indicated in the posts you are disagreeing with are genuine issues. I believe McDermott recognizes them and that they will be addressed.

Now, imagine that this isn't just true for football . . .

Or this is a cleverly planned misdirection and now the play is in . . .

Happy Birthday, fella. Secret handshake . . .

There's a lifetime warranty on that complaint. Whenever convenient, it will be brought up.

Agree with the analysis, but precisely for the reasons of opportune timing you nicely indicated, I will be disappointed if they fail to take advantage. When the time is right, it's right. Personally, anything short of AFC Championship round is a fail for this team as they are currently playing. And really, they are the best, they hit the playoffs perfect, so just win. I'm certain that is how the players feel.

Maybe that's why he prefers to hang out here . . .

Hey!

Raquel Welch is keeping it together pretty well, too.

Plausible interpretation. Agree on the nature of the ideal run. Let's hope it plays out that way.

I agree, old friend. Our oline, however, does not seem constructed to allow a proactive running attack, as it were. They're simply not good enough as run blockers to allow that to be a primary option. OTOH, they are quite good at pass protection. Once the pass game is clicking, the effectiveness of our run game increases. (At least, this is my sense of things.)

No doubt, but in general its the success of the pass game that has opened up the run game for us.

I'd prefer to play the Jets, but among available options, the Colts.
