  1. Edit to add: 24.7 Sports Reporting that Lance Blanks has passed away. TJ Ford posted this on Twitter. God bless him, if true. BMW forever.
  2. Legend has it that Bud's dad staked him to some money and told Bud he had to get out of Oklahoma and make his own way in the world. Bud decided to try New Orleans, but he had a layover in Houston on his way there. During the layover, he met a bunch of wildcatters in the airport lounge and before long he was tanked up and had missed his connection. He decided to stick around for a few days and then to financially back the folks that had pitched a deal to him in the airport lounge. He never left.
  3. Watching UDFA signings, salaries, and contracts last night and today. They’re making more and more money than most late round picks. I believe we are going to see smarter NFL teams shifting away from UDFAs by making more of an effort to aggregate late round picks to leverage the salary scale and avoid overpaying for talent that may or may not make the roster. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the NFL add a couple of rounds back to the draft as well.
  4. All of this because Bud Adams got shitfaced on a layover in Houston and missed his connection to New Orleans.
  5. this is why they get the big bucks and I’m a couch potato
  6. or, if they were going receiver, the Michigan receiver taken by San Francisco nine picks later (Ronnie Bell) would have been a better choice
  7. Mr. Irrelevant is Toledo DT Desjuan Johnson.
  8. Agreed. I hope he gets and makes the best of the opportunity.
  9. Speed was supposedly his biggest knock
  10. Ojomo to the Eagles
  11. Brandon Hill Safety Pitt @ 248 Hill redshirted his first year in Pittsburgh (no statistics in four games played) coming off a strong career at Wekiva High School in Florida. He started twice in 10 games played in 2020 (27 tackles, 1.5 for loss, one interception -- returned for a score -- and two forced fumbles) before starting 13 of 14 appearances in 2021, garnering second-team All-ACC honors (81 tackles, two interceptions, six pass breakups). Hill was an honorable mention all-league pick in 2022 (67 tackles, two pass breakups), starting 12 games and then opting out of the team's bowl game to prepare for the draft. -- by Chad Reuter
  12. uhh, see above. Not going to matter anyway. Timed him at USC's pro-day with a calendar. Not quite sure why they picked him.
  13. First time I saw him was the opener against Michigan, which is the game I believe he tore his Achilles. He was really impressive that night.
  14. Cowboys on the clock. @ 244 ... correction Jalen Brooks WR South Carolina
  15. Max Duggan to the Chargers. Wow.
  16. I think that's a record number of RBs taken. And I thought pretty highly of Mohamed Ibrahim and have no idea why he's been bypassed so far
  17. Another DT, not Ojomo. WTH
  18. Frankly, he had a shit attitude all the way back to North Shore.
  19. Another DT just went and not Ojomo.
  20. Lance Zierlein just said Zach Evans is a 2nd or 3rd-round talent that made himself an expendable 6th round pick with his attitude. Low risk, high reward. If you don't like him, cut him.
  21. At this point, it's probably better not to be drafted and to cherry-pick the best of any offers as a UFA.
  22. Texans received two 7th-round picks (230 and 248) for pick no. 191 (6th). The Eagles just flipped 191 for a 5th rounder next year. There goes Coburn to the Chiefs
  23. I wonder if Tanner McKee was who the Eagles were targeting when they made this trade (Nevermind. I thought that was #191, which the Eagles just traded to the Bucs)
