“Misdirection”

What are we feeling for pick 100? Feels like LB and S range to me, especially with kickoff changes. Not drafting special teamers only of course, these guys should compete to backup or start, but could see increase value given expected massive uptick of returns. 

Cooper Beebe to Dallas is soul crushing. Damn it. They wanted a big fat beast to replace the smaller Tyler B that we picked up... and they got him. 

7th most athletic G prospect of all time; wonder how he'd score at tackle instead. 34" arms is great.

Reminds me of the Cosmi pick, hopefully Coleman can make it work at LT or RT though. 

independent of who is in our roster, was it good value for the player? And do we like the player?

I have a feeling Peters is gonna nail the draft and UFA's even better than he did free agency. I'll bet he moves around more than any GM we've ever had. 

Agree. If there’s one thing he won’t be, it’s asleep at the wheel. 

not sure I’ve seen a deal with this much in per game bonuses. Wasn’t fully guaranteed as was reported I guess.

anyways I hope this is the last tweet to share regarding CY news.

What’s on people’s wishlist of guys already FAs or possible cap casualties in later waves after the draft? 

Acolyte looks hype, excited for the premier

He’s on a 1 year deal. He’ll probably ball out this year, sign a big contract for 5 year deal and then go back to being Chase. He is a business man first, after all.

This man couldn’t ball out, let alone play with effort, in the Super Bowl on a stacked team opposite Nick Bosa. Doubt he does it for a whole season for a mid saints team.  I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the largest contract he signs in the rest of his career 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

We did well to get a 3rd round comp pick for him. it’s a sad state how it ended here and I wish him the best, I just don’t see the juice or effort that he used to have. 
 

Excited to see how DQ and JW diversify the pass rush this year, instead if relying on 4 talented individuals on the DL but using his LBs and S’s as well

Just did 5 rounds

The next 15 @JamesMadisonSkins mock draft simulator posts with all these extra picks are gonna hit like crack 

This is the first signing that I legit couldn’t believe was a real tweet. This is sick

Given the as of yet uninterest in resigning Samuels, I feel this team is definitely hunting for a true X with size. 

Kliffs offense historically is all about finding an taking advantage of matchups. Samuel, McLaurin, Dotson all present a similar profile for defenses, having a big bodied WR would be a missing piece for sure

Man I remember the 2020 draft thread being huge on Kyle Dugger and Jeremy Chinn.

They both ended up hitting to an extent and cool to have Chinn play for us now

People are looking at the career, and not paying attention to his age and sharp decline last year. It's fine. Honestly, I'd like one more tank year because if we went Texans next year, I think it would stall out our ceiling, so doing nothing to improve at RB should help us lower our ceiling, but I don't think that's what people like Burgundy Blog are thinking lol. 

I think rumors of his demise are overstated. He’s not in his prime and sure perhaps has lost a step but he played on a high ankle sprain all year from what I can tell.

Doubt we sign many long-term deals with this many spots to fill (starting and depth). 1&2 year deals will be the norm. 
 

As such that means we’ll need to be more frugal on a per deal basis than we think just to field a full roster that isn’t half UDFA. Can’t spread cap hits into future for C and D level talent

We had like 15 pages in here over the last 24 hours lol did i miss something important by skipping ahead or was it the usual back and forth 😅

In the latest installment of his podcast Bleav In Commanders, host and former Washington then-Redskins running back Anthony Armstrong

Running Back?? This is Anthony Armstrong erasure. Have we really strayed so far from god

Whenever the boys are sitting naming random NFL WRs of yesteryear, AA is a finishing move. His 2010 season at age 27 with 40 catches and 850 yards after never logging a single stat before is all-time flash in the pan status.

All that said, he seems to echo many’s sentiments on this board and elsewhere. Love that Quinn has a deep talented staff, with pieces ready to be called up if we find success and face attrition.

I initially wanted to milticlass my bard. Sposidly 10/2 bard/paladin woops tookus.

 

Then I watched this guy's video and now I'm thinking just a level twelve bard. He seems to go over more of what is lost as opposed to what is gained. Scared me straight. 🤣

 

 

I’ve got about 150+ hours into BG3, playing on PS5 with 1-3 other people. Haven’t done it solo. 
 

we have the most fun playing on balanced, and doing thematic builds. Like MCU, DBZ, Star Wars, etc. like right now we’re doing a Freiza/Vegeta run. Eldritch blast warlock/sorcerer tiefling and way of the open hand monk human with one level barbarian for rage and use fire shield from robe to get that super saiyan glow. 

gives us a theme to stick to and build from the endless possibilities and min/max FOMO tend to fade away and you focus on making choices relevant to your character in both dialogue and combat. 
 

that said, I always say Wizards is hella fun because you can learn any spell in the game and change them around at will. Any battle is different. 
 

And to @dfitzo53 question about Controller, it controls great. The radial wheels that are customizable make it quite easy in combat etc. the worst difference vs PC is probably inventory management

The sum of positive front office and coaching moves we’ve made since Dan Quinn was hired fits squarely into the

”what’s not illegal but feels illegal” category 

wasn’t hype for the Quinn hire like most but so far Peters and Quinn are demonstrating excellent process in their decisions and building something I can get behind

Let’s not underestimate that Harris is likely providing Quinn with a pretty open pocketbook to get the absolute best coaching talent himself.

Whereas the former guy was moreso pinching pennies outside the HC. 

Like any business, every department and line of business gets a budget and has to stick to it. This is seeming to be a sizeable budget for football ops ✅ 

Just so I’m clear, it’s being suggested that hiring the sons of Gary Kubiak and Bob Slowik weren’t already (or wouldn’t be) nepotism hires? 
 

But Kliff Kingsbury and/or Joe Whitt in DC are?

Agree with the sentiment @FootballZombie

Knowing there’s a group of competent decision makers and football people and ownership making the choice between the 2-3 top QBs, I’m going to back whoever they pick and believe in. 
 

i’m a lot less stressed about who I’d prefer and will just let what happens happen this go around 

Sure Kliff is NFL Ryan Gosling but is he actually a good coach? I’m not convinced. I remember reading scathing breakdowns (albeit on twitter) of the plays he’d draw up and how awful they were schematically and situationally. 
 

He’s been getting by on brand awareness for a while now. Meanwhile, Lincoln Riley is who everyone thought Kliff Kingsbury was. (Not that I’m suggesting hiring him either)

I suppose in a toss up between Chip and Kliff, I choose Kliff? God either way I’m talking myself into it 😭

It would be bad leadership to not give EB an interview on Harris and Peters part. Even if they know they don’t want to go his direction, it’s a bridge and reputation builder to allow EB to say he interviewed (and is still interviewing) for HC gigs.

There was already an article somewhere about how EB didn’t want Howell, suggesting Brissett instead, so he’s already on top of washing his hands of it and finding the next gig.
