A Prudent Solution
-
Most of you focused on the second clause of my "solution".......while ignoring the first....more important perhaps part of it:
What about the idea of picking both Chubb and Barkley with 1 and 4? (without consideration to whom they may take later at QB). After all, most people put those 2 actually above the QBs....on a pure talent level.
Just NO to Barkley. If he's still there in the second round (like Rudolph) ok. We may well take a developmental QB like Benkert in the 4th- 5th round.

You should probably start preparing yourself to hear- "With the first pick of the 2018 NFL Draft- The Cleveland Browns select... Saquon Barkley, Runningback from Penn State!"
It'll make it easier to swallow if you are at least open to the possibility... as it's pretty likely going to happen.

Zero chance Po, ZERO chance. I'm so confident Barkley's not happening at #1 overall- no bet involved on your part- I'll give you a pair of tickets to the home opener against the Steelers should it come to pass, so you can drool all over your hero's first NFL game in person. Not kidding. OTOH, if it's pretty likely LOL, you should have no problem putting up the $260 bucks the tickets are worth, but you've already chickened out on all the other bets that have been put out there....
And you had better be ready when we hear Darnold\ Mayfield with the first pick, and totally pass on Saquon.

Only You have such insane delusions. You must be singing that to Barky:

By the way Larry, did you see my PM.

By the way Larry, did you see my PM.
I did- give me some time to think about it, won't be able to do a "grand tour" though. Regarding the hotel. Research says the BBs got a group rate last year at the Holiday Inn- it's literally on the edge of the stadium parking lot. IIRC, it was in the $100 a night range. And for sure, I won't be flying Frontier. The boogers unilaterally changed the flight schedule, and I got screwed out of $300. From non stops- to stopovers in Denver. Pick one- leave @ 5AM Monday morning after the game, or stay overnight in Denver with a 6PM flight. Bite me. Try to get a live person to complain to? Lotsa luck there- I gave up after being on hold 45 minutes+, twice. (They eventually did give me a partial refund, which expired way before I could use it.)

I had a bad flight with Frontier....not so sure their customer service was so bad. I did not have the issues you did. Cant remember exactly where I was going. Out west somewhere.
And fair deal otherwise. I just wanted to know if there was going to be a group going....even if it is a small group...such that adding a couple or 3 days to my LOU. trip would be worth it by there being somewhat of a gathering.

I think Top Dawg may be going, and Tour will be trying to pry away from the relatives. He'll be at the game for sure.

The draft needs to get here STAT.
PoG is now bringing up Barkley and "swallowing".

So? Are you saying that he is not keeping things to strictly "mental" masturbation?

Not that there is anything wrong with that, of course.

Great! I love that Sherlock.
No, no more picking a QB at #22 please.
I am not sure that this constitutes an acceptance of the bet I proposed. If it did, then I owe you that hot fudge sundae. If not, I don't...but then you don't owe me either.
-
He's a big kid QB. And QB's are rated on a curve. He could go in round 1 I guess.
We have the #1 overall pick....in a draft where 4 QB's may go pretty high in round 1. May I please have the best one in the draft for once? Please?
Teams have been jockeying around to get in position to draft one of the four. Let's not try and outsmart the league again this year ok?
LOL, want to bet Gip at least three QBs get picked before Rudolph?
-
Hello McFly I have said all along that the other QBs " rated higher" than Rudolph will likely get drafted before he will. My bet is that he'll be taken in round one. Are you in on that particular bet?
See....this bet, never accepted.
-
So....are you in on the bet?
That 4 QBs will be taken before Rudolph? Done for $100!
That 4 QBs will be taken before Rudolph? Done for $100!
No....Read it properly....the bet is that Rudolph will be taken in Round One....and its for lunch...or whatever was proposed above.
And Tour never accepted the original bet either. I rejected his counter bet. I expected what happened to happen. That those first 4 would go early in Rd. one.
So....the ONLY possible guy that may have a win coming to him on this is Orion....and that is questionable.

Nah, nothing owed. But it sounds delicious right about now...

Buy yourself one.....and say it is on me....and I will buy myself one and say it is on me too. So, at least I will have paid for one.

Of course you mean except for what you said about Rudolph...

No, I Mean I expected those Top 4 to go pretty fast.
Then I made a gamble on an iffy proposition where Rudolph was concerned. You didn't take me up on my roll of the dice, which I lost.
NO SOUP FOR YOU, my friend. You coulda had soup. Or Pierogies.
