  1. RB Breece Hall made it past Buffalo and Detroit trades its two picks between now at #37. They were the two most likely predicted destinations. 👀
  2. I wish we had the Jets’ picks (Sauce + Garrett Wilson).
  3. I think he’s an employee of the Texans for their website?
  4. KC must not mind short arms on a CB, following Pittsburgh taking little hands.
  5. Zierlein is BFF with the Colt’s GM, his dad is/was a Steelers OL coach for a long time, and he’s right with a lot of agents. He liked Sauce better than Stingley, but knew Lovie and Caserio liked Stingley and were going to take him back on Monday. He got tipped off yesterday about Kenyon Green being their pick if they couldn’t trade back up and get the OT or WR they wanted.
  6. It would be nice if they got Breece Hall and had a RB that actually kicked ass rather than Patriot retreads and dudes they picked in the 6th round. I doubt he will be there at #37 though. Johnson and LB Devin Lloyd would be worth trading back up for. There are also some good dudes that may be around at the top of the second (OT from Tulsa, DE Karlaftis from Purdue, CBs from Clemson and Florida, ND St WR).
  7. Davis Mills would’ve been the QB1 in this draft so it says more about how crappy these QBs are. Salud to Detroit, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, and Carolina!
  8. Both corners will be gone before #13. If they have decided Stingley is better than Sauce (not saying I agree with that assessment), taking him at 3 might be the correct move. Nobody in the #5-8 range wants to trade up to #3. If Caserio is smart, he has mocked out 50 different scenarios of picks 4-12 based on what they do at 3. If they don’t trade up from 13, then the likely best players available will be DE Jermaine Johnson, DT Jordan Davis, the third WR (hopefully Williams or Olave and not London), S Kyle Hamilton, or the northern Iowa OT. Which of those guys would pair best with either OT Ickey or CB Stingley?
  9. 364 days ago, Vegas odds had Spencer Rattler as the favorite to go #1 overall tonight (and they thought it would be Houston).
  10. The other 31 teams say “please take Willis at #2!” yeah the 5th year option on a first round pick adds value to the last couple picks #28-32 if teams picking at 33-40 want to jump up at the cost of something like a 3rd rounder. Since it seems like a buyers’ market on moving up, I am hoping the Texans can go from #13 to #6-8 without giving up a second rounder.
  11. If she is trying to argue “there is a reason” to drink each other’s blood that scientific or physiological, someone should tell her what happens to leukocytes and erythrocytes in stomach acid.
  12. This is normally right except this year there is a fall off in talent in the late teens. Your scenario (to get a 2023 first) would mean they traded back from #13 to the late 20’s. This is not good value in the 2022 draft. The second round picks should be good players with not drop off from late first rounders. If Houston could drop back four or five spots from either #3 or #13 and pick up that team’s second rounder, they should jump on that.
  13. Keep in mind for next year (2023), we don’t own Brooklyn’s pick. It is a pick swap if theirs is better, but if Kyrie plays all year and Simmons contributes at all (LOL) I doubt we will be swapping. The Rockets do own Milwaukee’s pick, but you’d expect that to be very late first round and probably not valuable enough to package and move into the top couple picks.
  14. Consensus is no more than 18 players with first round grades. It may cost teams in the 20s more to trade up than usual considering the drop off.
  15. Or posed differently, you expect this nucleus of Green/Sengun/Christopher/KPJ plus either Chet or Jabari (hopefully) to suck shit next year even when they are trying, but magically become a contender the next season or before their rookie contracts are up?
  16. What game changing franchise corner stone are you going to draft in 2023 somewhere between #5-15 after you want the first and second year players to fake tank and learn nothing about winning habits and culture? Green, Sengun, and Christopher will be halfway through their rookie contract and never get a whiff of 0.500 ball.
  17. The buzz is that both corners (Sauce and Stingley) and 2 or 3 of the top 3 OTs will be gone before #13, maybe by #10. NYG or NYJ would take Sauce, and SEA or NYJ would take Stingley. NYG and probably CAR want an OT. Everyone thinks WFT will take a WR at #11. Houston will probably have their choice of the best OT or CB on their board at #3, but who knows who the BPA will be at #13. Theres also a lot of smoke that Houston likes Stingley (last played well as a freshman in 2019) over Sauce (no completions of >20 yards and no TDs allowed in his four year career) and would take Stingley at #3. I’m Sauce all day in this debate, so hopefully it’s a smokescreen and not Caserio being cute and thinking he’s smarter than everyone else. If at #3 they go OT or Trayvon Walker if he falls, there’s a good chance they could trade up to #8 and still get Stingley, or stay at #13 and get the second WR off the board. If they would take Stingley or Evan Neal at #3, they should try to trade back a couple spots because neither of those guys are number one at their position for most teams.
  18. I was all about trading Wood and Gordon (still am about Wood), but I see what some mean about trying to instill work ethic and winning traits in the youngins which is something Gordon can do. Some fans (on this thread) have advocated tanking next year as well, but I don’t know if it’s great for the Rockets or Green/Sengun/Christopher/top5 2022 pick long term to be losing 5 games a week and never learning things like getting a lead, sitting on a lead, grinding people down, finishing out games. If you expect them to suck for half their rookie contract and then just flip a switch and win playoff series(es), that’s a tall order. My vote would be to get a new coach and start trying to win now, hoping to catch some luck with future Brooklyn picks and one Milwaukee pick down the road, and having the cap room after Wall/Wood/Gordon are gone to sign an all star level FA.
  19. I assumed he had some kind of auto immune or neurological disease (MS or Parkinson’s possibly) and he feared the inflammatory spike after a Covid vax might cause more long term harm than good.
  20. Mike Florio had a rant in favor of abolishing the NFL Draft due to federal labor laws and allowing free agency straight out of college/NIL “playing school”. In theory and in line with capitalism, it would work but practically it would bankrupt teams when players bust (which is around 25% of first rounders, 40% of second, and higher thereafter), and IMO it will start an NBA situations that favors hip cities like NY, LA, Miami, ATL and teams in Midwest cities would have to grossly overpay to get equivalent talent. The draft evens it out quite a bit.
  21. Is there still time to fire Click and bring back Luhnow? The Sox brought back Cora, Yankees about to get wacked in this Manfred letter. It should be all good now.
  22. I didn’t say I was sweating, just bitching that my professional manager seems to perform worse than the surly stonk gods. But rolling in that new Bronco would’ve been nice.
  23. My accounts are proof the professionals know as much as the amateurs. We made a good chunk selling a house in Austin and buying in Houston in 2021. Inflation signs say don’t hold cash. Peak real estate prices say don’t buy real estate. Market seems fakely high but TINA right? Merrill Lynch boys had a great plan to only put in 10-15% of our money a month to protect against a sudden market downturn but catch some gains before the inevitable correction. Also lots of bullshit about hedging with some investments that perform opposite the market, and buying aggressive on the undervalued downturned shit. FML we are down 8.5% from our original cash deposit in spite of some of the money only being invested the last month or two. Anyone want to interest me Pampered Chef or speakers out of a van to invest in? I would’ve been better off buying some bonds and a new Bronco.
