Re: The 2024 Draft
Yeah. Outside of the Bears, I think the Vikings have had the second best draft. Idk, they paid a super steep price for turner. Besides the first round pick they used they gave up 2 - 2nds, a 3rd, a 4th and a 5th for him. That seems like a whole bunch of draft capital for a guy that doesn’t touch th...

Re: The 2024 Draft
The Penix thing still blows my mind. It’s like the whole Glennon/Trubisky situation. Also, I’m absolutely thrilled with the Bears first round. Thrilled. I watched the first twelve picks with my third-grader, and he got into it when I kept guessing stuff correctly. Atlanta stumped me, so I said &quo...

Re: R1 P9: Rome Odunze, WR - Washington
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...

Re: R1 P1: Caleb Williams, QB - USC
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.

Re: The 2024 Draft
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...

Re: R1 P9: Rome Odunze, WR - Washington
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.

Re: 2024 Draft - How Many Picks?
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,...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?
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 ...

Re: My Guy for the 2024 Draft
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...

Re: My Guy for the 2024 Draft
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.

Re: My Guy for the 2024 Draft
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...

Re: Different trade scenario
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 ...
