I get it. Felt like the time to strike and make a move was last night. I’m not in love with any tackle left.

I understand sticking with the board, BPA, all that stuff. But we have absolutely nothing at LT. How can we go corner and WR at 36 and 40, and have any level of comfort about Daniels blindside.

I prefer the Giants for JJ over Nabors.

I see a lot of fan sentiment that this pick is make or break for Peters. I don’t see it that way at all. It ‘feels’ that way because our entire franchise got a hard reset and the 2nd pick in the draft. But it’s entirely possible the QB doesn’t work out while everything else does and they find the QB via another means down the road. I’m not sure why, but the thought of drafting Daniels didn’t seem real until about 2 hours ago. Contrary to many others here, I do find his tape to be electric. I entirely understand why he’s tantalizing to GMs. But his body is a legitimate concern and anyone who pretends it’s not is lying to themselves. I am taking the guy with the big body and big time throws every time over the skinny guy with electric tape. But it is what it is, and even though it feels like a make or break for this regime, it’s really not.

This can’t be understated.

JD side x side with Cam Newton, both wearing fitted suits, really brings home just how small he is. Sheesh.

I’m sure I sound like Colin Cowherd, but man - JD was just on NFLN, and he just doesn’t ooze leadership to me. Not a bad guy, but just more flashy and me oriented than I prefer. Am I a boomer?

Playing Cacapon on Sunday! 🍻

Someone send the authorities to his home.

Whoever is saying it, they are playing with my emotions.

Obviously, I’d hope to be wrong but I’d have zero juice for camp and the upcoming season if that’s the case.

I pretty much feel the same way but SIP scares me when he mentions Standig or whoever saying JJ is higher in the board than Maye. Here I am telling everyone to chill on the rumors, but that one bothers me. 🤣

I see a lot of folks ready to jump off a cliff if they take Daniel’s, while I’m over here thinking if we take JJ at #2 it will kill all my hopes and dreams.

Just remember that every single year, the media puts out a bazillion “sources indicate” reports, and very little of it ever comes to fruition. NE prepared to select Drake Maye is just the latest. That’s not up to them, and there’s no way in hell that Peters has told any team or media member who he intends to take. It’s all game that everyone can stop playing around 8:20 this evening.

This much I’m confident in. Some of our fans are so in the tank for one or the other, they are setting themselves up to be devastated. Particularly those with the vitriol for Daniels, and the entirely fabricated narratives that the brain trust will take him as a ‘win now’ move where AP succumbs to the coaches wishes. I prefer Maye and still not convinced of all the smoke around Daniels. But if they do select Daniels, I believe it’s because they think he’s the best long term prospect, right or wrong.

This. So much this.

I’m fine with either Maye or Daniels, but man I’ll be pissed if we trade up to take Paul. I’m not even sure where that rumor came from. But after watching his brother wobble and jiggle all over the field and fail to make blocks, I’m out on the Paul brothers as a whole.

Hot Italian sausage, split with casing removed, and seared on the Blackstone.

I haven’t even mentioned McCarthy because to me him at #2 is about as likely as Chicago passing on Williams. Maye is a slight favorite for me, solely based on everyone saying Daniels is a foregone conclusion.

In a way I’m happy that neither guy seems generational to me, hence my inability to be all-in on either player. This puts me in position to simply hope for the best no matter who it is. Some of you guys are going to be absolutely miserable. With every “it’s looking like the Commanders will take Jayden Daniels” blurb coming out of the media, the further I lean that we will be taking Drake Maye though.

There’s literally nothing to suggest that our coaches are in the bag for Daniels, nor Peters is succumbing to pressure from them to draft him.

I have all the respect in the world for Keim, but at this point in the game, I see no reason why anyone would leak to him where guys sit on the board. I see more reason to feed the media with false information from a strategic perspective.

We always load up our pasta with veg when making any spaghetti-ish dish. We use the Barilla protein penne, and load up with bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini and lean ground beef to fill up the plate without as many carbs.

No matter what I do, I can’t get the color I’d prefer grilling over high heat on a pellet grill, even with 100% charcoal pellets. Still tastes great though. Filet seasoned with a mixture of Holy Cow, and Kinders Cowboy Butter and Caramelized Onion Butter rubs. Onions, shrooms, and garlic finished with W sauce and garlic butter when they came off, and corn with roasted potatoes.
