Nice avatar KB. I was just wondering last night if you were going to keep the Mickey-pez that CITR awarded you, or if you were going back to your old George Michael one. This DQ avatar is sweet!

Well, you can scratch this particular insider off your list as being credible. Never trust a guy that wears a casual-wear suit with shoes and no socks. So now it's down to Daniels and Maye. Stay tuned for the next round of 'insider elimination' with your host, mudhog.

Here's one for you CITR.

If he comes from Dallass, DQ should have intimate knowledge of him. Which also begs the question, why wasn't he coached up last year into a starting back? Just curious, because I know coaches can do wonders, but can they do miracles? This question isn't directed at you OD25, it's just in general.

This draft is gonna be so much fun now that GMAP has done a spectacular job in FA so far. I know that OT is gonna be harder than these mocks to secure upper echelon talent in the early rounds, and we will more than likely package picks to move back into the mid-first to secure our LT. But there's so much talent, that drafting BPA is a breeze in any round. Here's another:

I would be stoked if this was our draft. It would put my worries to rest about the LT and RT.

My point about the trade value is that it's been said by a few sources that we were poking around Garret Bowels as to a trade. And that Denver was interested in Sam Howell. So, a deal could have gone either way with them. Neither happened. Just sayin

I would also add that it shows a lot of class by GMAP that he traded Sam to the Seahawks and gave him an optimal situation for success. Versus, using him as an asset in trade talks with Denver for possibly poaching their LT. It(hypothetically) might have given us much more trade value in seeking their LT, but at the cost of Sam's proper development/success due to the fact that they most likely will be fielding a team of scrubs in order to tank for next year. Just the way I see it anyways.

I've seen many comparisons of Maye and Daniels head to head, showing strengths and weaknesses of each. And overall I tend to agree with them. But not once has someone put forth a believable argument that shows Daniels is more pro-ready than Maye.

I'm surprised we didn't match the Rams offer? Or maybe we did, and he still decided to leave. Would have loved to have him back this year. Especially at that deal. Goes to show the power of social media today. Once you tweet the peace sign, Poof, you're gone.

No trades

I am thinking Howell plus a 2nd and 4th for Patric Surtain

One thing I never hear from the TBC argument is the logical conclusion that every pick gained from the trade-back has to be GIVEN BACK UP in the subsequent years to move up to try and get a franchise QB. And even after giving back the king's ransom to move back up, it might only be for the #3, #4 or 5th rated QB in that draft. Pull the trigger now when the cost is zero except for the pick it's self. Don't overthink it.

Dang, with that highlight reel we should just keep Blough and stack weapons around him. lol

This is the exact opposite take of every great football underdog movie ever written.

OK. I get this explanation. Thanks ya'll.

I don't understand how to interpret this data.

Yup. It's a wrap! Thanks Ron for bringing the Maye vs Daniels debate to an end a month and a half early. Now I can sleep easy knowing that we will pick Maye since you said Daniels. Easy button!

This seems about the best place to ask this question though I might not be in the proper thread, so apologies if I'm wrong. At some point last year we acquired Jabril Cox, who many on here liked in the 2021 draft along with Jamin Davis, JOK, Zaven Collins and Nick Bolton. I know he was drafted by Dallas and was injured at some point, but he was a 4th rounder. Is he a viable option this year as a Sam or Will LB? Or do we truly just have Hudson and Davis? Thanks

Including Keim?

You just told us a couple pages back that it's lying season and to take everything with a grain of salt. Now you are implying, 'where there's smoke, there's fire'. Well, which is it?

This is funny Ansel, but it at least could be semi-realistic. I just did a similar thing on nflmockdraftdatabase.com, just to prove a point about the computer algorithm picking the field against me. And how easily it is to abuse for the sake of results. Just for curiosity's sake, I started doing trade-backs at pick 2, when both Maye and Williams were still on the board at my pick. I figured that as long as they were both still available, and I could always stop and grab the one that's left, I would keep going. I didn't take the trades that were offered me by the algorithm, I simply went to the next pick, the Patriots at 3, and offered my 1.2 pick for their 1.3 and as much as the computer was willing to give. Then I moved onto pick 1.4 with AZ and did the same thing. By the time TEN took Drake Maye at pic 7, and I finally took Caleb at 8, I had amassed over 20 extra picks. So, #8 was Caleb. Then I had 34, 35, 36, 40, 67, 69, 70, 74, 101, 103, 107, 136, 137, 138, 142, 145, 161, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 188, 199, 219, 220, 222, 223, 224, 229, 240, 241 and 256. I just did it once, and it only took me 5min to get all these picks. My point is that's why I started doing my mock drafts with no trades because it seemed like the mist realistic way of gathering any useful data at all. IMO, the best mock is with real humans. Humans are stingy, smart and not pushovers like computer algorithms are.

I am a Maye Dude, But as long as we get one of the top 3 QB's, I could live with this haul here!
