You'll be happy to know that Leveon Moss is turning into one of my late round sleepers.   I love this kids patience and strength between the tackles.

Glad you like him. He has had some injury problems. South Carolina put a questionable hit on him as he was going out of bounds in 2024 and the team just could not win many games for the rest of that season since the knee injury put him out. He was a the key offensive player up until that point. I'd take him with one of the 5ths if still there.

 Saw that.  5 is high for me, but I'd sink 6th-7th.  Haven't seen much in the passing game, and his pass pro is spotty (at best)   but in a league that has seen nickel usage drop 5-7% in the last 2 years and more 12/personnel, I love having a patient, powerful, pure runner.  

The A gap power A&M used was most successful when Moss was getting the handoffs.

I don't think he'll be there at 206 (6th). Most have him going anywhere from 3rd to 4th round out to around 150 overall (our 2nd 5th is 149). Just too many picks between #149 and #206. A lot may depend upon how Judkins' rehab is coming along. If it's going really well, then we have greater needs elsewhere anyway.

Wow!  You crushed that Gumbs!  Getting the 6'3" Elijah Sarratt at #107 was an epic steal and I just FIRED the knucklehead that gave you a C- grade for that pick.  Fano was a very good pick especially since he can play/upgrade RT, LT, and OG. Furthermore, someone wanted to see him snapping the ball in some OL drills at the combines.  I'd like to see him heavier than the 291 lbs he weighed at the Combine.

Nice job Sid Vicious!  The 1 spot where it looks like you could have done a little better was #146 where they gave you an F.  That said, I thought you deserved better than a C- for Kyle Louis.  Was Iowa's Logan Jones available where you selected Bama's Parker Brailsford?  Not that he's a bad choice at all - Center seems like it will offer very good choices for teams from the back end of round 2 to early round 5...  

[Flugel]

Did I stick to my word with Caleb Lomu at #6 overall? No.  What can I say?  I grew up with role models like Eddie Haskell and Dennis the Menace. I still got him at #24; but that doesn't mean NFL teams are going to cooperate with keeping him available for the Browns at #24.  That said, there's always 1 more freakin Caleb as an alternative at #39 as in Northwestern's Caleb Tiernan if it doesn't happen.  Why did I get an F for drafting the Rimington Award Winner (as the Nation's Best Center)? Was it a reach?  No, it was static stretch to round 2 with no bouncing - so I didn't pull any muscles making the move. And they're sending me to summer school for that? Anyway, it felt great getting DT Cameron "Moose-cille" Ball at #248 overall...

Drew Allar at 206? You do know you would win the Cal, Jr award for that pick, right??

I happen to be a very big fan of Cal Ripken Jr.

Well done Syd!!!  I'm glad Denzel Boston didn't run his 40 at his Pro Day because it'll leave the ignorant thinking he's hiding something instead of seeing a very good WR.  Here's one of the songs my dad used to play over and over back in the day that reminds of football season.  That being said, it would be nice if Andrew Berry does a little "Please Come to Boston" in round 2.  It can happen...
