Dr. Who

I like Eastern rite Catholic. Orthodoxy retains elements of the Greek patristic heritage that are recessed in the Latin tradition.

Very much doubt that would be a common response and most folks would rightly knock it down.

We may have to get in touch with the Guinness Book of World Records which reminds me I have to check the fridge and see if it's properly stocked.

Alright, skeptics, this does seem to be a lot more than an enigmatic, obscure Instagram post. Don't know if it will happen, but it's not just smoke, it's an actual smoke signal.

At least on D, their misses tend to be mediocre and not complete whiffs. I think Robinson goes before 27. It is still too much expenditure at the position. The running back room is pretty good, imo. Dorsey needs to use Cook and Hines ability to catch passes and generally call a better game. You probably do need to move Oliver to get the cap room to acquire Hopkins, so then you would probably see a high pick DT to replace him. @HappyDays wrote up this scenario. (They might go DT early regardless.)

That's a slight problem. Maybe they should bring in some new evaluators.

Lots of good books in the library, well, there used to be, I'm not sure now.

You're going to be surprised when someone drafts his twin brother Keion.

I'm not crazy about Darnell Wright, but I would take him. Paris Johnson definitely gone, Broderick Jones as well. At WR, JSN, Addison, and Johnston who is risky are the only true first round considerations. I don't like JSN's hammy issues. I think Addison is gone early. Maybe Johnston slides. Hyatt is strictly a second rounder for me. I like Kincaid a lot. He'll go before 27, so where do you go for impactful offensive players in the first? Maybe they take John Michael Schmitz early. I would prefer Darnell Washington if they reach a bit. Not even considering RB. Those folks are almost as irrational as the Campbellites.

Well, I like it better than LB. He's an athletic freak which is their type.

I do think Beane needs to use more premium draft picks on offense, but his roster construction is a more fundamental problem. He overpays consistently for mediocre players, you're right there.

There might not be a lot of teams that want to trade up. Assuming there isn't a player Beane clearly has ranked as a first rounder at a position he values, he will have to figure who he is willing to take at 27 regardless in case that trade back possibility doesn't materialize. Personally, I think Mazi Smith and Darnell Washington are possibilities.

27. Dalton Kincaid TE Utah 59. John Michael Schmitz OC Minnesota 91. Christopher Smith II S Georgia 130. Byron Young DT Alabama 137. Bryce Ford-Wheaton WR West Virginia 205. YaYa Diaby EDGE Louisville I really worry what you are going to do with yourself once the draft actually occurs. I hope you don't start running mock 2024 Drafts.

I think this is actually a pretty strong possibility.

This whole thread started because OP heard bits and pieces of a conversation out of sequence and then speculated a specific assertion by Kirwan that another poster who actually listened to the entire broadcast in context refuted. Then a bunch of folks chose to take the theme and run with it regardless of whether there was an actual basis for it. They speculated about private anguish and inheritance tax and the like to paint a dismal, sad picture. I guess there are those who enjoy despondent thoughts, but it seems perverse to me.

I like Mazi Smith better than Campbell. Some fella was speculating Oliver might get traded to clear up cap room to facilitate adding Hopkins. If that happens, I think Smith becomes a real possibility. I am not desperate about MLB, so those who are will think my priorities are out of whack. (In this respect I am somewhat like those irritating folks who are content with Gabe Davis, only on the other side of the ball.) I'd be willing to sign a vet FA stop gap like Myles Jack after the draft and see if Spector is up to the job. I also suspect there is a scheme change that may alter how we employ the position. If the Hopkins scenario plays out the way you speculate and they go Smith in the first, I prefer Darnell Washington and Matthew Bergeron as second round targets. I'd trade up for Washington.

I think you are overrating Jack Campbell. I know a lot folks feel the same as you about him. If the mock played out anything like this, I am working a trade up for Dalton Kincaid.

Naturally, everyone has to deliberate and make their own decisions. I am skeptical about Brown, but I haven't written him off. He might vindicate Beane's best case scenario, but if you're wrong there it damages the coherence of the entire line in a big way. If Wright is available, I'd much rather have a contingency plan ready to deploy if they are wrong about Brown.

But it's our pick. Nobody is going to stop you. Just walk up in a dignified fashion. Given what is available, it should easily be Wright.

Quintin Johnston was taken eighth overall by the Falcons.

Yep, you did it. It was a no-brainer.

I know he's a different player from Oliver, which quite a few folks would applaud in any event, but I have a feeling if somehow this move was made they might opt for Mazi Smith early.

It's a good article. Thanks.

Oh, it's nothing personal, that's just how I've concluded the universe works. I'm a glass half empty with a hole in it fella.

Broderick Jones went to the Commanders with pick #16. I'd mention who I want, but I'm sure Virgil is going to take him at 26 and annoy the hell out of me.
