Low Positive

The strong reactions people have to mock drafts are kind of funny.

You have company in this hobby

You have a morbid sense of humor.

Every team in the league has this same show. You think OBL is bad? Here is Dave Lapham gushing about a new hire for LB coach like he's a football savant.

That's some autocorrect gold. Taint it?

Heat Check!!!

I've promissed myself not to engage in Internet arguments anymore, especially when my opinion goes against existing narratives. So I have no response to this.

Exactly. People think that if Beane just wanted it as much as they do that it can be done but trading into the top ten from 30 is almost impossible. We want blue chippers, not generational talent. We want PTPers and a few Diaper Dandies. Sorry, the phrase "blue chipper" made me think about Dick Vitale and that made me think about college basketball. And then that made me think about "Onions!"

The closest comp that I can find is what the Falcons gave up to get from 27th to 6th to draft Julio Jones. But that was a long time ago and it was a trade with the Browns.

I have written 3 responses to this post and deleted them all. The OP doesn't have a lot of posts and I want to encourage new blood to post more because we tend to talk in circles amongst the same group of people. Especially in the off-season.

There are no rules on the amount of coaches or the composition of the coaching staff. Good organizations have very large coaching and scouting staffs. The Fellowship Coaches are participants of the Bill Walsh Coaching Fellowship program. https://operations.nfl.com/inside-football-ops/players-legends/nfl-player-engagement/bill-walsh-diversity-coaching-fellowship/

For everyone who still doesn't believe that Cooper Kupp "went home," here is his into press conference in a Pearl Jam t-shirt and a flannel. Can't get more Seattle than that.

No. He did it well enough, but he didn't do it long enough.

But the Bengals are paying a QB and two WRs. The Vikings had enough on defense to have balance because they were not paying a QB and the #2 was on a rookie deal.

TBD has a lot of closet Bengals fans.

So OL doesn't matter? Interesting take.

I Hate the Bengals!!!! Can you build an OL and a secondary in a single draft?

No, but Higgins will break something in camp and miss the first 5 games. Same difference.

We have an OL. They do not. They keep trying to solve that problem via FA and the draft and keep failing. The best thing that Brandon Beane has done as Bills GM is to solve the OL issues.

Yes! Yes he does. He sucked in college until he got to LSU and got Jefferson and Chase. He lost the job at OSU to Dwayne Haskins. The general take is that this was a massive mistake by Urban Mayer. But maybe Joe Burrow has to have an all-pro team to be effective?

Joe Burrow demanded, in both the national and local media, that the team pay both of his weapons. The thing that nobody wants to talk about in the NFL is that the great Joe Burrow needs two #1 WRs to play well. He doesn't elevate the players, they elevate him. I mean, former bust Sam Darnold had 4,339 yards and 35 TDs with two #1 WRs. But Minnesota Wisely decided not to pay him because they know that the WRs elevated him, and not the other way around. Joe Burrow is an entitled rich boy who is the most unlikable player in the league. Learn to hate him.

They need OL in the worst way too.

For those that don't hate Joe Burrow more than any other player in the league, watch this. You probably turned off the game before this. He said this crap in our house:

Wow, you don't even live here and you put it better than me.
