Slightly flawed premise here (would count Roquan as a miss) - but those are more corner cases that would only slightly change these percentages

Very nice move

Can’t miss guys don’t exist.

He plays DL, therefore I’d be happy with the pick. Sure. And let's not forget that we never replaced Justin Jones at DT. Even if you subscribe to the Dexter improved enough to start argument, there's little behind him to rotate in. That would be quite a rotational pair. Or put them on the field tog...

Outside of QB, my "need" ranking is: Pass Rusher (preferably off the edge) WR OL (doesn't matter if it's T/G/C, but preferably IOL) 3rd TE LB I don't have S or Corner on my list for 2024. DT specifically is pretty low too. They have Dexter/Pickens/Billings/Walker/Cowart. And there's still...

Good post here. And the more I think on it, the more my conclusion is "Poles wasted a 4th round pick" moreso than "he can't possibly draft a WR". Regarding Everett, that point was simply to show that he's going to get targets in 2024 and there's only 1 football to go around, any ...

I'm not comparing them at all. Ryan Leaf is simply the poster child for "all the talent in the world but a massive ego derailed his career". They are VERY different football players in style and everything else... I think most of the stuff on CW is BS and created because people need clicks...

... We’ve seen nothing like that from Williams to date - in fact, just the opposite. He’s been attending the Quarterback Collective, in part under the tutelage of Shane Waldron, to get a head start on running the Shanahan/McVay offense. An overconfident player likely doesn’t do that. Nothing report...

I would be over the moon happy with this draft.

I've definitely waffled on this as draft day approaches, but I've found myself now just two days out fairly cemented in the "don't take a WR at 9" camp. We've already done the "super duper offense thing" by adding Caleb Williams, Swift, Keenan Allen, Everett, and Bates/Shelton -...

https://theathletic.com/5431528/2024/04/23/nfl-draft-2024-confidential-nabers-harrison-williams/ Pretty good draft article in The Athletic with quotes from anonymous NFL coaches and scouts. Seems to be quite a few NFL people that like Nabors over MHJ. Most of them feel that Nabors/MHJ are in a clas...

I think he prefers anyone who can pass rush inside, and doesn’t care much about the physique

I've been running this logic through my head and I'm not liking the answer I keep coming up with. WR just isn't making logical sense to me. We traded a 4th for Allen. We are taking CW at #1. Allen is a UFA after this season, and we aren't really in a position to think Super Bowl this year. So, a lot...

His ego is the #1 risk for his career trajectory IMO. Let's hope he can back it all up.

Herbert has no trade value IMO, better keeping him as depth.

Feels a bit redundant to Keenan Allen. Poles view on extending Allen is everything here, if he plans to pay him then O don’t see any reason to draft a WR. If he doesn’t then it makes all the sense in the world.

Man do i ever hope you are right. It still burns me that Poles commited the unforgivable sin of paying a god damn running back. Swift better be top 3 this year. We also need health. The offense quickly becomes a house of cards with an injury If he's a top 3 RB, you guys in the Keeper League are in ...

Love it Hoog, I’m super excited also! Don’t sleep on Swift either, I think he was a sneaky big addition that will have a big impact on our offense. We are stacked, Poles has done an outstanding job. All we really need is for CW to be as good as advertised and we are going to be a very dangerous tea...

I am really pumped for this season, probably higher on this team then the second year of Nagy, lol. Hope the results are better. I have a good feeling that Dexter and Pickens are going to shine this year, especially if we get a DE opposite of Sweat. Also love having Moore, Allen, Kmet for CW to tru...

If Poles thinks he’s the goods it works for me. I prefer one of the DEs but so long as it’s DL I’m happy.

Yea I wanna set my keepers

Fautanu can play tackle in the pros. He's got the physique plus decent arms (34.5"). But it would be shocking for Poles to pass on 3 blue-chippers at positions of need and ignore DL for a 3rd rounder in a draft not noted for depth. The Bears have the opportunity to really make noise with 2 top...

I'm really feel strongly that Poles should be using our other 1st on the DL, whether that be a DT or DE. So I don't want to trade down too far here, if at all. We ranked 17th in DVOA on defense, and we've gone backwards personnel wise this offseason. We swapped EJax for Byard, which may be an upgrad...

Foot problems with large men are as scary as knee problems for WR/RBs. They are typically chronic

Zero chance we are trading up
