His response: 'I don't know. Ask Prince.'" Yep, one of the most badass compliments I've ever seen given. And for the record for others, this is way before Prince died, so not a posthumous BS thing. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCliche21 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I think I remember Apke's first snap in a regular season game being a pick. SO excited. Then he felt like a poor man's Reed Doughty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly, Holdsworth made almost everyone look like a toddler on the guitar. Including EVH. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when someone first told me that EVH was an incredible guitarist, but I'd only heard the singles from Vagar Halen at that point, and I was like, "Yeah right." Then I was sent "Eruption" and I think my jaw still hurts from hitting the ground. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris/kunaczyk?/mayo etc aren't all getting claimed, and they are all pretty comparable JAGs. I'd add McKinney, and cut Carter. If I'm drunk enough to convince myself Carter will have a significant impact for us, I'd cut Roberts. Hopefully, with as much as our defense is gonna force punts, that extra 9 yards or so per return he gets every time could be significant over the course of a game.

But he's supposedly a borderline elite special teams player hence he's on the squad. Most teams like to have a killer special teams specialist or two. He's our version of that. Keep hearing how good he is on special teams (2nd and 3rd hand). I have no idea either way, I just haven't spent much time dwelling on coverage units to have an opinion. Curious if any one here has spent anytime watching him on ST. 2 hours ago, terpfan said: Wonder how much our average age goes down if we replace Fitzpatrick with a rookie QB.

Yeah, that's pretty much an expansion team at this point. I thought it was interesting that we're the only team in the top 14 that had a QB graded below 2.0. I do think he needs to adjust his weightings a bit more. There's no way the Chiefs should be ranked outside of the top 5 overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillBill26 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Crazy to see the range of average ages only be 25.1 - 27. Everyone is pretty close. Thought we would be higher than 21st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a solid chance his ranking for our defense improves too. Depends on how the safeties are used and if Landon Collins rehab/body-change makes him better as advertised. Remind me how the Chargers are continuously thought of as a 12-5 team and a big favorite week 1? Their overall roster does not look like a team getting a dozen wins.

Warhead36 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Our S grade seems low. Collins looks like he could have a bounce back year, Curl was really good last year, and we added McCain. It might end up being our 2nd best position. RB and WR also seem a little low, but some of that is projecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, his recent WFT TE grade hasn't changed from his August 5th grades. I think he just likes Logan Thomas a lot. And looking at the TEs across the rest of the league, it's hard not to. There's a definite dearth of talent at that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) Speaking of McLoughan, I listed his 2 drafts with us. And it didn't just stop, with his departure from Washington. I recall him continuing to tweet that "Matt Jones was a true, real football player", even after McLou left, and even after Jones was cut and couldn't find a job. Scherff, everyone agrees, was a no-brainer that fell into our lap. Crowder, Fuller, and Ioannidis were good picks, of course. But the rest of those picks ? The good picks are what you'd expect from just your typical average GM. The bad ones were terribly bad, and certainly more than washed out the good ones. But compare that to now, as Rivera seems to be finding uses for virtually every single pick he makes, all the way down to the 7th Round. What it comes down to, is he wasn't really terrible, but not great either. McLou was certainly over-rated. Not quite the "Diamond in the Rough" locator, that he seems to be reputed to be. 2015 Draft Round Overall Name Position College 1 5 Brandon Scherff G Iowa 2 38 Preston Smith DE Mississippi 3 95 Matt Jones RB Florida 4 105 Jamison Crowder WR Duke 112 Arie Kouandjio G Alabama 5 141 Martrell Spaight LB Arkansas 6 181 Kyshoen Jarrett FS Virginia Tech 182 Tevin Mitchel CB Arkansas 187 Evan Spencer WR Ohio State 7 222 Austin Reiter C South Florida 2016 Draft Round Overall Name Position College 1 22 Josh Doctson WR Texas Christian 2 53 Su'a Cravens LB Southern California 3 84 Kendall Fuller CB Virginia Tech 5 152 Matt Ioannidis DE Temple 6 187 Nate Sudfeld QB Indiana 7 232 Steven Daniels LB Boston College 242 Keith Marshall RB Georgia Edited September 1, 2021 by Malapropismic Depository 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams had until noon today to put in a claim on any player with less than 4 years accrued service, so I believe AGG and the rest of our younger guys can be signed to the PS now once they've gotten confirmation from the NFL that no claim was made. I'm sure we will be getting a lot of breaking news throughout the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
