Every DT and TE that goes makes me smile and pushes down someone else. I’m starting to feel that way about WR as well even though I wouldn’t say no to another (hell I’d take another TE also but none of the guys who have gone are my flavor)

Narrative? Is it some sort of difficult moral quandary to just post your opinion without putting it on a pedestal by putting swaths of people who disagree with you in a “groupthink homer talk” bucket? I don’t know what’s controversial about saying that doing so is both: 1. Doing a disservice to plenty of posters here who put a lot of thought into their own opinions that happen to disagree with yours and 2. Giving undue importance to your own opinion, which you have argued well in an otherwise informative manner. And yet you’re still just as likely to be wrong. I may call someone a dummy once in a while but I don’t think it helps the discourse to say that anyone who thinks X is suffering from Y delusion lol

It’s been posted one thousand times here already, you just chose to reduce it to blind homerism. Maybe the FO ends up right that the players they took should have been higher on their board than the OT’s they didn’t take. Maybe you end up right that the guys we passed on were in a higher tier than Coleman and we’ll seriously regret it. I have no qualms with your opinion, it’s shared by many—I commented on the part of your post I thought was notable, which is how damn rude it was to the community here. A community that has a long history of really breaking down the draft (and being rightfully cynical about own team’s picks most years, which seems relevant given your accusation of blind homerism lol) I don’t owe you any argument btw, when you roll in here saying anyone who disagrees with you is just fooling themselves. That’s beyond arrogant.

Pretty insulting. Maybe people just disagree with you about how the board fell.

No offense but this invalidates everything else you said, you have no idea what you’re talking about here—to an impressive level We all have opinions, but they aren’t all correct.

Scheme really fueled Puka’s insane success so idk about that part, but glad to see that some people love the younger McCaffrey

McCaffrey feels like the one potential exception to this. Peters having such intimate knowledge of the prospect makes this either a slightly biased nepotism overdraft (loving the player and knowing we don’t have a 4th), or a chance at a real steal.

He’ll have a big impact right away, and it’s not dependent on moving on from someone. People were drooling at the idea of Chop Robinson at the top of the 2nd, and he would’ve been a rotational player for his entire career, likely. “Rotational player” is just a loaded term in this super specialized league. Newton was better value than that imo. And in regards to the DL rotation, it’s not normal for DL to play the high snap counts ours do (well, Payne at least), even though in the past they’ve gone through stretches of handling it really well. When we have a beautiful new facility for the staff and players. Eventually—probably depends where the new stadium is

Newton is going to see the field a TON, you are very wrong about that McCaffrey will likely play in the slot immediately as well.

A hundredth of a second. A tenth of a second would be MUCH faster lol

Just stop. Be a good member of the community. It’s not hard

Because he’s talented but kind of a selfish asshole

not much?? We moved back 10 spots to move up almost an entire round from 78 to 53. That’s 25 slots to get from mid 3rd to mid 2nd. Big jump I imagine we feel good about the next 10 players on our board I wanted one of these DB’s but hell, maybe Kool-Aid keeps falling Don’t like letting the Eagles pair Dejean with their 1st round CB

Peters started a run at DT and every player we had a shot at for the 36th pick is still there at 40. Now we trade back! Wow with the Eagles. Really hope they don’t pair their DB pick yesterday with another top DB 🤦‍♂️

Could still get one of the DB’s at 40 tbh, if one of these next two picks goes our way

Okay, in retrospect, this is spoiling FYI. Stop being cute. Don’t do it again please.

huh?

Did Atlanta really need to give up all that value to move up 8 spots for him?? Weird trade and pick imo

Falcons don’t make the pick I expected. Lots of options for us at 36 and 40!

? you know they officially measure these guys at the combine right?

It’s obviously unlikely but…is there a world where we would take both Dejean and Kool-Aid, if it weirdly fell that way? Just juice up the entire secondary?

Damn it man. That’s who I wanted. Kool-aid or Dejean now? Edit: my stream hasn’t actually said the pick yet, I’m reacting to people in this thread. Are people spoiling?
