How many times do I have to tell you dummies: We also do not speak of that draft. Ever.

It’s even spelled differently.

That must be the guy!!!!

Keim has been talking about some rose garden guy. No idea the name. But apparently he was a top 30 visit. And they like him.

Are we going to have 3 second round picks and 3 third round picks?

I don’t love trading with the eagles.

No. They’re getting ready to cut Mathis. Who isn’t good and is often injured. Or they are giving themselves flexibility not to have to give Allen another contract.

Peters when watching all players other than Allen, Payne, Terry. Must not have liked Mathis at all. They have a lot of options at 40. I like the fact they’re not forcing it

I love green and everything but just make the pick already

And ESPN goes to commercial. literally every single time.

I want a person who weighs significantly more than I do.

So, something I was thinking about yesterday, especially after we drafted Daniels. One of the biggest concerns for many is his frame/size which could lead to injuries. Here's the thing, I'm not sure his size is really that big a deal when compared to injury risk. (pun intended) Burrow has been injured significantly twice. Mahomes has missed a little time. Hurts has missed games. Lamar has missed games. Dak has missed games. Herbert has missed games. I'm not sure if Daniels weighed 10-15 more pounds it would change his prospect of injury. QB injuries are mostly luck. A hit at a bad angle, getting rolled up on, slamming your hand on a helmet. To me, the key for Daniels is he needs to eliminate unnecessary hits. All QBs are going to get hit. But if you eliminate as many unnecessary hits as you can, you limit the exposure and the chance of injury. One thing which bodes very well for Daniels is he is very good at underneath throws and quick game already. If Kliff structures an offense around that + the run game, they can dramatically lesson the number of hits Daniels is exposed to. They WILL present him as a run threat from time to time. But as we saw with Griffin, on designed runs to the QB, you can actually design the play away from contact. I have come around to the position any of these QBs can get hurt at any time for any reason. Richardson is 6-4 245lbs. He got hurt. Does his slight frame increase the risk? I'm honestly not sure it really does. Given the number of QBs who get injured anyway. You could argue "if the big guys get hurt, the skinny guys will get hurt more." That might be true. I'm not entirely sure I believe it. I'm excited for him as a prospect. I think he's going to work really hard, and he has the tools.

Brits know baseball analogies? Damn. Who knew?

In fairness, Tres Way might have gotten rid of the bad juju. I don’t want Tres to change his number for a QB. Punters are people too. And Tres has possibly been the best player on the team since he’s been here.

Maybe both. And somebody else might have been trying to get up into the first as well.
