Snowflake much? Who died and left you boss?

There are people, including myself, who take their time to invest in good football talk here. Time that many of us don't have a hell of a lot to spare. That's why I generally tend to check the thread(s) I start and focus on those only.

I prefer to keep it that way. You are more than welcomed to rant in any of the other ones that aren't this. In fact, I'd encourage it. Keep this one on target though.

Thank you.

Bad choice of words there.....just think about it for a minute or two or three.

you want to go ALL COMMUNIST and surpress that

The correct analogy would be to "go all capitalist" - and fire you from the thread for slowing down the production line.

If you want to make an economic comment, please learn at least a hint of objective reality about the words you're throwing around.

I do realize you're trying to use "communist" to mean "something I don't personally like" -- but it's a pretty old exclamation, like "Go cut me a switch!" China today is no less capitalist than the US. It's just run by a different group of 100 oligarch capitalists extracting the wealth. Russia isn't communist any more either -- it's also oligarch capitalism as a result of the 1991 revolution. Feelings may come if you actually allow these facts to challenge the propaganda you're being bombarded with elsewhere. "Going all end-stage capitalism and analyzing my posts like I'm a gig worker and each post is a new deliverable" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue..

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming:

Mid-round S in the rotation could be Cine and JT Woods. Not for man coverage but if they're still on the board in rd4, you make those picks.

Mid-round DL -- [Edge] Josh Paschal, Eseze Otemewo, Arnold Ebiketie [DI] Eric Johnson, Matt Henningsen. Massive athletes, the question is the technique and consistency.. you know, professional sports.

So tia and Unsympathetic are kind of down on Kyle Hamilton, safety from Notre Dame that seems like a lock for a top 10 pick.

I'm curious to why both of you aren't real high on him...

I was going to type out this long thing that was a couple paragraphs, but I'll keep it at the TL;DR version for now.

I don't see much that jumps off the tape anymore than Jeremy Chinn. And Chinn was had as the last pick in the 2nd round...

So the people who think he's a top 10 pick think that he's a guy who can do it all, while you think he's more of a "Jack Of All Trades, Master Of None" guy?

Those people probably think he's a Jack Of All Trades as well, that would be because he is. So you're going to spend his rookie season, and likely most of his 2nd season, getting him accustomed to a variety of responsibilities and getting coached up to NFL speed. So instead of having a more focused role, you're moving him around like a foundational chess piece. Takes a very rare football I.Q. to be top-10 level effective your first few seasons, especially under those circumstances.

And like I pointed out with Chinn, you can also find those types of players well outside the 1st round.

edit: And the thing I didn't like about his downhill trigger was him processing, planting and driving to the ball carrier when it wasn't an obvious short yardage situation. Found himself insanely deep in the middle 1/3 quite a bit.

Unsympathetic

Here's the RAS of Taven Bryan. This guy is an elite athlete even at the NFL level and yet he's now firmly in the "bust" discussion. Even guys with the measurables don't make it.

Here's Hamilton's again. He is... not a jack of all trades.. more like an 7. He can't cover man-to-man and his hitting makes nobody forget about Kam Chancellor. Elite short-area quickness is the foundational requirement these days for the NFL and that's the weakness of his game.

Here's the benefit of letting a DB with average quickness get used to NFL speed and not playing him until he's actually ready to play without thinking.. AJ Green PFF.. I didn't know he played that well either.. if you take someone round1 he doesn't get to sit a season. AJ was absolutely not ready in 2020..

This is NOT to say that KH isn't a decent athlete who won't be wearing some NFL jersey until 2032. It's to say that if you take him round 1 you have expectations which won't be met.. If someone with KH's skillset was available in the 4th, that's a value pick and then his weaknesses are OK because "Eh, Round 4 Guy".

imo.. Hamilton will become shuffled to a hybrid LB playing status, just as Isaiah Simmons is being used now in Zona .. Same draft hype as Simmons received..

Simmons isn't a "hybrid". He's just a weakside backer now. Snap counts by alignment...

- Simmons 94 snaps on the defensive line, 229 in the box, 66 in the slot, one at free safety, and eight at outside cornerback

as he should be.. the Simmons draft label of 'jack of all d positions' lasted all of one year... I don't think Hamilton can win a 40 vs Andrew 'slow' Sendejo? ? top 10 is a reach

Simmons hype was a lot higher

JOM, but some are getting way worked up over a player we don't have much of a chance at drafting. I'll admit I haven't gone back to get the back story on all the hamilton beef, but what are we doing here?

Mental masturbation until draft pick 43 is done. Helps pass the time and gives us an idea of what others are getting before the Browns finally get to their first pick @44.?

Maybe I'm reading the room wrong, but I don't see anyone getting worked up.

Just some good, passionate type talk here.

We're talking about a player in the upcoming draft in a thread about players in the upcoming draft. ?

Is somethings brewing at RB 2 or 3 ? either trading Hunt? or gain a 2nd rounder, while losing D'Ernest Johnson at tagged tendered?

I've heard some RB draftee interviews, saying they 'have a 30 team visit with the Browns'... ?
