Dr. Who

Hadn't even been thinking about Doyle. That is interesting.

Unfortunately, this optimistic and somewhat plausible scenario begins with a subjunctive. I still think you need a better plan B should Brown not work out.

He's a north south guy. The RAS fellas are predicated on lateral movement. In isolation, you can justify either approach.

I dunno. Did Andy Reid draft Tyreek Hill?

Like others, I don't understand how they are putting the line together. Can you plausibly synthesize mauler types like Torrence and RAS athletic types like Brown? It seems badly mismatched. Shouldn't someone who is paid to ask questions ask for an explanation of the rationale from Beane or Kromer? I fear they don't have one. They take good players and think they can somehow make it work.

Lions' draft room playing Pearl Jam and Green Day.

He's got to be a guard.

No one can prove a counterfactual. It's intrinsically a speculative act. I have already discussed with you the equivocal nature of after the fact narratives. You are taking the Cowboys' explanation straight as something that ought to be presumed factual without definitive proof otherwise. That kind of proof is unlikely to exist. I think a "hermeneutic of suspicion" ought to be employed with regards to the Jerry Jones' narrative. Folks saw the forlorn faces of the Jets' draft room when the Steelers jumped up and stole Broderick Jones from them. I think a similar result happened with the Bills swooping in and grabbing Kincaid ahead of the Cowboys. If that is what happened, you think the Cowboys are going to admit it? C'mon.

I'd be thrilled if Jaelyn Duncan made it to our fifth round pick. I am guessing db is the likely next selection, however. I like Kyu Blue Kelly. (Kelee Ringo, too, but he'll go in the fourth I think.) Sixth round, I'd take a flier on Bryce Ford Wheaton.

I think that's just about right.

I was going to suggest him, but I didn't want to have to spell his name.

Wish there was a decent journalist in Buffalo that could pose that question succinctly to Beane, because I'd like to have the answer.

They've definitely made moves to improve IOL. Brown at RT is still a looming question mark.

They seem to never settle on a type. Doesn't immediately seem like a scheme fit for Kromer, but they must think he can work with him. We can definitely use more ferocity in the trenches.

Fellas I respect who rate Oline don't really like him. He's a mauler. We need oline help, so I hope he works out.

He's a great blocker.

If they are going LB, I'd take Trenton Simpson.

They won't take him for that reason. I think you could take him as a TE with OT as a project. In general, it won't happen. I wanted to mainly express dissatisfaction with Brown. Schmitz was the last Oline really worth taking in the second . . .

Convert him to tackle. He's probably better than Brown already.

I've already said I would be good with it. I'm surprised he's still on the board. There were rumors a number of teams had taken him off their boards for medical reasons.

In a vacuum I love Downs for the slot, but Kincaid is going to take a lot of those snaps.

He could be the next Jason Peters. Maybe he's sliding because of medicals, I dunno. All I know is the fella can block. I hate the second round. Benton is a nice pick. Steelers getting value.

Seriously, Washington could be your future LT. If he's there I'm taking him.

Don't really want Torrence or Jones. And there goes Mauch. He looks like he needs to be carrying a Claymore.

I think you have Mims right. I'm thinking Day 2 and not simply round 2. For round 2, I am strongly hoping there is some worthy oline help available.
