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)...

Thanks for the tip; I'd have overlooked this, but it's pretty damned good.

Just looking for mid-/late-round guys who might fit in well with us. Kendall Milton might be a big-school sleeper in the Roschon mold. He's had some MCL problems, but those were a few years ago; his more recent injuries were a strained groin and hamstring, and I always wonder if better hydration and...

All in due time. If only I had that voice! Or just go a different direction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg Ahem. Great stuff; jealous that you saw some cuttlefish (we lived in the Caribbean for a while and got out there a bit, and it took me too long to discover that I was looking in ...

Well, Tip Reiman's not a secret anymore. A shame, because he'd have been an excellent complement to Kmet. Just a bonus that he thinks power lines might be pigeon-recharging stations. Reiman's issue is production (or lack thereof). In general I am not a fan (though I will certainly point out that I'...

Kneeland just hit the top tier of my third-round wish list. But I don't think he'll be there. I dunno. Since 2016, the two non-Power 5 conference edge defenders who've gone before Round 3 (Marcus Davenport in 2018 and Payton Turner in 2021) haven't lit the league on fire, and both were bigger than ...

also i was surprised that the bills logo goes back to 1974, and that red buffalo was barely around, because it's SOOOO much better. https://static.clubs.nfl.com/image/private/t_editorial_landscape_12_desktop/bills/jgfwtamgssutxi3mc0tg.jpg I like how the original herd of buffalo diminishes over time...

Still vacillating on adding Cedric Johnson and especially Marshawn Kneeland. Not sure at "only" 6'3" they hit the thresholds Poles and Flus have in place, but both might be long enough, and Kneeland was certainly impressive at the Senior Bowl. Kneeland's wingspan meets the diagnostic...

The Sun-Times online edition took a big risk by going completely non-profit and making subscriptions donations of any rate. Makes donations tax-deductible, too. It’s only been a couple years, but I’m curious how that has served them and impacted their reporting quality. Not sure; I haven't lived in...

He looks like Gentile Jon Stewart (also his wrestling name, which is why he had to switch careers).

Or like Wendy Shawn, 20 years and a few rehab stints after we last saw him:

I just went back to the HBCU combine results, and yeah. Lots of terrific college players there, but no one jumped out at me (Huggins was never a consideration). It'd be down to a developmental guy, probably at QB or OL.

Ah, well. Saves me from a repeat of the year I wanted Jequez Ezzard.

Quick follow-up after some reflection and a chat with an old colleague. Advertising-supported journalism websites are dead or doomed. All of them. They're also inherently suspicious. The measures and indicators actually used by larger news sites to define and assert their value to advertisers are sh...

Yeah, the best way to read a list like this is probably to view it as a breakdown of players who could force someone to draft them in the first. "Well, we don't really need a CB, but Wiggins should've been gone ten picks ago," that sort of thing. It's easier for an edge player or CB to for...

Ante: My wife was a journalist for decades, and I've dabbled, too. Lots of great points here, and I might not be adding anything but my perspective, but what the heck. There's a great need for good journalism, but no market for it. Anyone who worked for Vice until recently can tell you that. A godaw...
