  1. With this roster of WR, why would you draft another?
  2. Injuries aside, he struggled with the deep ball and was not adept at stepping up in the pocket. Is that on Quinn or Sark? My guess is Quinn.
  3. Mertz did not even have a draft grade or projection from ESPN.
  4. Mertz: Ewers:
  5. I count 13 through 5 rounds.
  6. I follow Etan Thomas, former NBA player, on a social media site, and he continues to intimate racism. Goes so far as to say Sanders is better than Baker Mayfield and Johnny Manziel - and they were arrogant, too.
  7. McShay had him at 33. Jeremiah ranked him as #20, but the mocks had him at 21. nfl.com's Parr and Davis had him outside the first round. I gave up searching, but here is what I have.
  8. DOH! Despite following the first 2 rounds fairly closely, I forgot they drafted Dart. That's how impactful the Dart pick is to me . I'll edit.
  9. Sean Payton says teams will regret not taking Sanders. And warns them that Sanders will use the snub as motivation. Another friend of the family shilling for him. Payton conveniently does not need a QB at this time. 4th rounders earn around $5mm over 4 years and 7th rounders earn around $4mm over 4 years. These rounds are the low-risk way to take flyers on players. Giants are at 4.3; Raiders at 4.6; Steelers at 4.21. Given the financial risk, I can see Sanders being picked in the 4th. Giants and Steelers will likely pick a QB in the 4th and 5th - Ewers, Howard, Sanders will be picked then, IMO. Edit - doh! Giants drafted Dart
  10. I've read 3 things: "Tell me why I should be a part of your organization..." General arrogant attitude Ill-prepared when given situational examples - Brian Daboll reportedly said that While #1 and #2 are similar, #1 shows more entitlement than arrogance - and, yes, they are related. edited to add... I recently completed a job search. For each and every interview I did, I was prepared, interested, and treated the panel like it was the most important role to me. I answered all of the questions, did every followup, etc. You never know when you'll run into these folks again, so always treat them like they are the most important thing for you at that time. I believe Sanders did not do that and is not yet capable of doing that.
  11. Stanford prof/researcher wrote a book about this phenomenon.
  12. Did the same thing for the 2nd round. As expected the variance is far greater. And the coloring is skewed by some reaches and some over-rated prospects. Will likely not do this for round 3 Note that Pittsburgh converted pick #52 into DK Metcalf.
  13. most likely. and they will win more games with aaron rodgers - and his baggage - than with shedeur.
  14. Every player they've drafted so far - while sticking with Rudolph - gives them a better chance to win. 1 - DT Derek Harmon - agree 2 - no pick, but they traded it for DK Metcalf 3 - RB Kaleb Johnson - agree Sub any of those picks for Shedeur and the Steelers win fewer games next year.
  15. This consensus shows him as the #89 prospect. KC has 66 and 95 in the 3rd.
  16. Colts having a pretty damned good draft, so far, IMO. Tyler Warren and JT Tuimoloau.
  17. 7 through pick 45
  18. through pick 44 tOSU has 6. Texas 4 Mich 3 UGA 3
  19. "He has phenomenal genes." Let's assume he does. Let's assume he has inherited 100% of his father's genes (he has not). He certainly has not demonstrated the physical, emotional, or intellectual traits necessary to be a top-flight QB. And his dad has been his coach during his entire football life. DJT forgets that Shedeur also has arrogant asshole douchebag genes, which is kind of a turnoff for "the face of the franchise."
  20. The draft is bereft of QB talent and the financial cost of a miss at QB is relatively low. The real cost is the cost of missed talent at other positions. This is why NYG trading up to take Dart confuses me. To move up 9 slots - and draft Dart - they gave up #99 and 2026 3rd rounder, which I will call #80 (mid 3rd). That is #34 and 2 starters in other roles for Dart. NYG have Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston on their roster. I see platooning them as a better option than paying a premium for a mid QB. Some scouting reports said, "keeps his eyes down the field," and I chuckled. Yes he does - and it's not for the right reasons. He holds the ball too long and is always looking for the highlight play. HIs progressions are slow and he abandons them quicker than he should - then looks down field.
  21. This site collected data from 191 big boards, 1491 first round mock drafts and 1528 team need based drafts to generate what it calls a Consensus Big Board. Based on that crowd-sourced data, here's how players were drafted vs. their consensus rankings. A negative number implies a reach. It should be no surprise that Dallas, Detroit, and Minnesota had the biggest reaches. Best available...
  22. Agree. JT Tuimoloau was the #9 ranked EDGE in ESPN's pre-draft rankings. I guess I really don't understand football
  23. Based on pre-draft "consensus" rankings, we have seen 1,2,3,4,6,5
  24. Graham to the Browns seems like a strong pick.
  25. Seems like a really good deal for Cleveland. But it is Cleveland, so I am likely wrong.
