    I’m seeing a lot of question marks there.

    I would have went with Josh Simmons from Ohio State.

    Even though he still needs time to heal, at the time of him playing, he was the best OT among his peers.

    I think his interviews has played more of a roll in that than talent.

    Because he's a proven commodity. Granted, who knows the status of his elbow injury?

    If Harmon was gone I would have been thrilled with Will Johnson! There HAS to be a big problem with his foot to slide this far now at pick 30. He didn't run, and I think he is slower that he wants to let on. Good corner even if a bit slow. That's what you have a FS for.

    Probably more of a zone CB, he had two different injuries and he didn't run the forty at his pro day.

    If that is the case, what a soft ass excuse by the teams.


    Game isn't meant to be nice.


    The goal is to win games.

    I have been saying this since 2010 personally.


    I am happy though that the ass whoopin Patrick received put line play back in the spotlight.

    Cleveland has the
    I hope so. I thought the red flags that were thrown up about his health were from the NFL combine medical exams about his knees

    Purdy is more proven than anything we have for sure.

    I just don't think he is good enough to win a Superbowl. The Niners are going pay him big money and are forced to let go pieces. They will have the same issue as Dallas, overpay for a mediocre QB that isn't good enough. That is worse than having a bad QB to be honest.

    True. The Steelers are still going to have to start drafting QB's every year. They are going to need to take one of them.

    The current veteran QB search strategy isn't going to make this team a contender.

    Maxwell is an excellent pick. Very scheme versatile. Can be too grabby though.


    He can play at the catch point very well.

    I think Tomlin has his eye on Milroe.

    Did KC and Phi just make a trade?

    I am curious about Philly swapping spots with KC. They are conspiring to get themselves in a rematch..:)

    I wouldn't be shocked if he did either.


    That said, this assumes he lasts that long. Lots of teams still need QB. Some will swing and can afford to.

    And what it cost them to move up 1 spot for no reason at all

    I'm going to be honest. With the falcons moving up. I wonder if they got a call for cousins. And I know we have a ton of money to unload. And I don't know what we will do with it. Unless we just want to unload it on our own

    That is what is odd. Maybe they preempted another team from trading up.
