  1. Luke has been a really nice story for the Rangers this year.
  2. Joc seems like he's been one of those streak guys most of his career. He would be a guy that got real hot so you pick him up on your roto team, he's good for a week or two, then hits more like he has most of this year for the most part.
  3. Just joining in. Yay. Kumar may need to go back to White Castle with Harold.
  4. Draft stock is more a media thing than a scout thing. Yeah, it does move some during the college season. But with real scouts, not that much unless something crazy happens in the combine or workouts. But for the most part, stock is bullshit. Teams and scouts pretty much know what they like, they aren't sharing a lot. Scouts that have the same kind of dramatic shifts in rankigs are either not real scouts, or they are shitty scouts. Now every blogger is a draft expert, so the perception stuff moves more dramatically to the public eye. Ewers is Ewers. He was never a sure first rounder, but maybe somebody that could develop into one. He didn't, and most every legit scout knew that by November.
  5. I don't see a big similarity comp other than both are/were extremely overrated.
  6. I picked a good game to have to miss.
  7. True, Jerry has kept the Cowboys looking pantless for decades.
  8. I have a feeling if Jeanty is there at 11, he's a Niner. Seems like their kind of pick. So I see the possibility of the Cowboys getting him as minimal, and I wouldn't be a trade up guy. Small trade down a few spots, maybe, if they are guaranteed of getting at last one of their top targets remaining with the few picks in between.
  9. Wow, winning games with hustle! Damn good baseball game.
  10. Making up for that botched popup behind the plate. HA! Maybe good Heim is starting to engage again.
  11. Like I always say, Jonah really hustles.
  12. Never mind...haven't eaten today, brain is working even shittier than usual.
  13. Safe, or this one is rigged AF.
  14. He will be throwing left-handed today.
  15. As much as I am not crazy about drafting RBs in the first round, I wouldn't be sad if Jeanty lasted to 12 and the Cowboys took him. He seems like the closest thing to a safe pick that settles that crucial position for the next five years. Checks all the boxes. But he'll probably be gone. I'm not crazy about the WRs that will be available, and I'm not sure they should burn a first rounder. Second round would probably offer the best value, maybe third. Golden is flashy but I don't think he's the kind of WR that would be the best match to pair up with Ceedee. McMillan would be a better fit, but I'm a bit skeptical about his value at 12. But I wouldn't hate it that much. I think there is likely good value at 2 and 3 wiithut a ton of dropoff. I would love to see a permanent DE replacement there, but I'm not really seeing the draft stack up for that particular guy at 12. I don't like guards at 1, either, or a "versatile" shorter armed guy they say can play tackle or guard, which usually means he is an NFL starting guard or a marginal tackle. It just piles up too much onto the cap when you can get good guards later in the draft. Get a true guard in the 3rd round. At 12 you gotta get true left tackle, not a development guy like Guyton, that can fix that spot would be pretty awesome, but I see that as unlikely from the Cowboys perspective. There isn't an interior DL that I love at 12, and they tend to go later if they aren't just a total no-brainer stud player. I don't want to see a big reach for position of need over a better prospect. I don't think they need to panic and take a corner too early, it's just going to add to the drama in the coming years. And I don't want to see a TE in the first three rounds. I'd be OK with a small trade down, inside of 16-ish depending on how things are falling, to get another 4th rounder if none of the "guys" are there at 12. Another 4 or better could be extremely useful to fill some more of those needs, since they have pissed away so much mid draft capital. I like Mykel Williams a bit later than the Cowboys are picking if they went that route. With no 4 it's going to be hard to get solid picks at all the immediate needs that have a chance to start or rotate, solid guards, safeties, linebackers that might have been available there, or even a good RB with early starting potential. Other than Jeanty, there's not a particular player prospect that has me really drooling that might possibly be there.
  16. Milton wasn't even active until week 18. He wasn't the backup in New England, wasn't getting backup practice reps. He got showcased in the last game that was meaningless. It is absurd to think he's ready to be any NFL team's primary backup at this stage. He won't be, unless the Cowboys are just even more idiotic than even the haters believe they are. He is the new long term prospect so they won't have to spend another draft pick on a qb in this draft. They still need a backup, whether they settle on Grier, who at least knows the offense and has been around long enough to have some experience. I believe they still sign a cheap backup at some point before or after the draft, like Drew Lock or maybe get Tannehill out of retirement if he's cheap enough.
  17. From Copperas Cove that ain't got shit, to Waco where Vitek's is considered a barbecue joint. Not that unreasonable.
  18. Nice. Good to see Luke finally paying off for the team that drafted him.
  19. Milton has thrown 29 passes in his short NFL career of one game played, all against backups. That doesn't qualify as a backup qb. It's like a preseason game. If that's the Cowboys' backup, that's a shitty situation. Maybe they're will be signing another veteran, then it makes at least a modicum of sense. Because right now Will Grier isn't looking like a great option to back up, either. Either the Cowboys have another plan, or this move was stupid as fuck. They won't be drafting a qb, because they already have a long range prospect on the roster they gave up a pick to get. They're not likely to go into the season with 29 total passes between their second and third string qbs backing up a qb coming off a major injury and has missed a bunch of games in the last three seasons.
  20. Fucking apple TV. I can't stream that shit here.
