I have to reorient my brain here. We intend to win with offense and out score people. It’s…..huh. Such a foreign concept for me, but should be fun With a pretty darn good defense too. I can't wait! And that defense is going to get more rest and play with more leads than any of its predecessors in r...

The more I see of Williams, especially in the off-the-cuff stuff that's come out tonight, the more I think he confused some people not because he's outrageously flamboyant or morbidly self-obsessed or any of the other labels some idiots tried to pin on him, but because he's roughly 61% cool nerd. Je...

Vikings could've pulled off a cheaper but comparable version of the Texans' draft from last year. No one saw Stroud's rookie season coming, and McCarthy's not going to equal it, but if they develop him right he could be just as good a long-term QB. If my wife wasn't shopping for divorce lawyers, I'd...

So far, we've invested this draft in

Montez Sweat
Keenan Allen
Caleb Williams
Rome Odunze
Ryan Bates
Some guy from Palos Hills or something
N'Keal Harry

Even with the last two guys, that list is obscene.

Very cool watching that pick with my nine-year-old (we're in the Seattle area). And I'm 11 for 11 so far. Kid, your dad's not a complete idiot.

Brilliant pick. Love it.

The dream is alive (streaming lag notwithstanding). Let's see Odunze!

So the whole "Grizzly" talk from Poles, I'm going to trust. I think he stays put at #9 and takes one of his grizzlys. He seens to like his mid round picks and seems pretty damn good at them. I'm guessing he trades back several times from that 3rd round and ends up with a shit ton of 4, 5,...

At this point I make the pick at #9 if one of Alt/Turner/Odunze is available. If they're all gone? Trade as far down as you can where you still can pick a player in your cloud. 24 hours to go boys!!! I'm kinda in this boat. I dont think this is a deep draft. Why not try for 2 starters from the top ...

Not sure that I'd compare Williams and McGregor. To me, he's more like (Chicago's own, kind of) Emanuel Augustus: smart, crafty, and self-disciplined in a way that can be difficult to appreciate when he seems to go completely off-script. No such thing as too much Augustus or too much Micky Ward, or...

I like Marshawn Kneeland, but he sorta just reminds me of a little bit lighter Walker. ...and lighter enough that he'd never play inside. He won't be able to bully guys in the NFL the way he did in college, and his foot quickness won't be as big an asset at DE as it was when he roamed around at Wes...

Both can block really, really well, and I agree that Reiman might be a better blocker. He's certainly stronger. But I completely disagree with respect to the receiving and route running. Despite his athleticism, Reiman seems klunky to me. Not near as smooth as Johnson. And it shows in the wide disp...

Reiman is strictly an inline TE at the next level. Thomas can be moved all over. I wouldn't mind Reiman in the sixth. But I think I'll stick with Thomas as my guy. Agree with this. I was pretty surprised at how well Reiman tested, because it didn't really show in the field at Illinois. His hands we...

Brilliant move. The picks might not change our franchise, but they might just be enough to dissuade a close competitor, say one in Door County, from signing him.

I like the idea that the Broncos can now play themselves in scrimmages on Sunday and quarantine themselves from the rest of the league.

Otherwise, pointless. But let's buy all the stuff now new stuff to buy now buy buy!

Poor chap would have benefitted from having a Brit who knows London showing him around rather than a fellow American. A Greggs sausage roll is hardly the height of London cuisine, an old red telephone box isn't exactly high on the list of quality tourist destinations and "cheers" does not...

I'll stick with Marshawn Kneeland and raise y'all Tip Reiman. From what I've seen, Johnson's got Adam Shaheen athleticism: impressive numbers for someone that size, but his play doesn't really bear them out. He's a good blocker, which is absolutely what we should be looking for in a TE. But Reiman's...

1 + 9 =

I suspect that the whole question of WR at 9 comes down to how Poles has evaluated the top of the class, Nabers and Odunze in particular. He might, ferinstance, like what he's seen from Nabers, but might just as easily have questions about how he'll put it together as a pro, based on interviews and ...

I just read this.

And re-read it.

Is there any reasonable way to complete that sentence?

She specifically asks to be shown no more than once per game, and broadcasters have obliged.

So...no.

Not on accomplishments or looks either, IMSO.

Who is "she?"

Of Biles and Swift, the one who appears no more than once in telecasts of NFL games.

Absolutely nails as a tackler and twice as many interceptions as Jackson. Perfect complement to Brisker in a SS/FS way...if he's still got enough in the tank at 31.

I'd forgotten just what a Patricia'd-up mess the Eagles were on defense last year. If there's no catch, this is a solid deal for a massive upgrade.

Huge fan of his in his draft year. But now? Holy moly, it looks like Poles thinks he knows something that Byard's last two employers missed.

If we're still in the market for an OT, I like Frank Crum a bit. Lots to work with, and that's about all you can ask for on day three. Crum is athletic and has some physical gifts. He's the kind of guy Day 3 was made for. LOL (FWIW, I am always a little leery on offensive linemen over 6-6.5 or so. ...

If we're still in the market for an OT, I like Frank Crum a bit. Lots to work with, and that's about all you can ask for on day three. Still a Marshawn Kneeland fan. Assuming that we land a top-flight WR early, I kinda like doubling down with Luke McCaffrey. He's switched schools and positions and a...

I don't watch a lot of college football or know much about the translation of prospects into pros, but with such a seemingly deep receiver class, do you guys think it makes sense to target another position at #9? Or do you think there's enough separation between the top 3 guys (MHJ, Nabers, Odunze)...
