  • I like what I've seen/read about Campbell and McNeill so far.

    What did you think of the sim?

    McNeill is a big high motor stud. 
     

    I like the sim.  Trade offers are realistic 

  • a qb 

  • I like Caleb Farley.  He’s the tall physical corner type that we need.  The other UM picks not so much.

    Id make a couple assumptions with the Farley pick..

    1. I’ve given up on Greedy.  
    2. I’m not paying Wards next deal.

    Farley is a bridge to these loses.  I’m also resigning T Mitch if the money is right.

    So best available at LB, Safety and DT/DE with the 2,3,3 picks.  
     

    Ice Cream.  Mint Oreo.   But I’d take Handels anything.  They are sprouting up in So. Cal I’m excited about that.

    This is the post I was thinking of in the tavern today.  Why are you not giving ward a 2nd contract? If he gets injured a few more times than I can see it but the way he is playing how can you say now you don't want to give him a second contract if he stays healthy. He has played at an all pro level his whole career. Only issue has been injuries. Only thing I can think of is you think he will require too much money but you never know. I think he's worth whatever the going rate is for top 10 corner. Plus he's an Akron kid he may give a hometown discount like hunt has.

    Well let’s see if he gives the Browns a hometown discount and let’s see if he avoids injuries.

    he played a GREAT game today 

  • a qb

    I played with that last nite a little... failed to come up with a Pick Package that would pry the #2 away from JAX.

    I did almost take TAMU's QB, Kellen Mond, in the 3rd tho. He's impressed me this season, but not quite ready to dub him my 2021 Draft Darkhorse QB.

    He has the best offensive line since JFF's at A&M. He has time to smoke BBQ Ribs back there. That said, under the 2020 COVID rules he is seriously thinking of coming back another year.

  • Had to go with best player available.  Also went with Tyler Vrabel, because, if he is who I think he is, his grandfather would have been the Head Coach  of my High School's football team.   I also could not pass up drafting a guy named Whop  or a guy named  Moustaffa!!

     I mean hell.. Joe Schobert had 13 tackles yesterday... I would take that back in a heart beat... This defense is NOT better without him or his type of production..

     When I'm scouting for good college defensive* draftable talent? I'll choose to watch good college games that include both good defensive units ?.. This week?

    That was Wisconsin at Northwestern.. Both squads are loaded defensively..both were unbeaten, i believe?. Side-note.. LB Parson's at Penn ST. must be a HOF college player...That defense at the happy-valley? Now really Blows! (flipped it)

    Anywho?

    Wisconsin- Put your eyes on the badgers MLB Jack Sanborn, he's a junior.. Joe's same college school, with same Schobert tackling nose.. Heck! lined up beside Sanborn? The badgers had a larger version of Schobert named Leo Chenal?.. Chenal may become better than both? He's only a sophomore, but already  has the larger NFL frame body of both ..Chenal may become the draft hype of Parson's this draft..

    Northwestern-- they are young on defense.. but, were lead by 6 starting seniors... including DE-Earnest Brown...                                                                                                                           

    LB'ers?

    WILL 51 Gallagher, Blake SR 40 McIntyre, Peter RS JR
    MIKE 42 Fisher, Paddy RS SR 35 Mueller, Erik SR
    SAM 28 Bergin, Chris SR

     ... All draftable ..   One game & early to be drafting. BUT, man! Was this unit active & scrappy beating the Badgers

    Schobert ranks NFL 9th in tackles made.. Goodson leads us in tackles.. sitting in the 4th spot on the 2nd page ?

    Edit--- Nickers.. don't ask me how i got your post to move over to here...... but, I'm enjoying a new laptop becoming a Internet Messiah ?

    I agree and if he's getting the type of payday then he is playing extremely well. So are you saying that's too expensive for him? Keeping in mind we're paying Vernon 15 million a year right now

    Did I say anything about Vernon?  Of course not.

    We had multiple people here talking about Wards next contract early in the year and last year when he had a pulled hammy.  After yesterday of course no one thinks backing up the big truck and paying him is unreasonable.
     

    He’s not a big guy.  Hasn’t played a full season yet.  He has some durability concerns. 
     

    Am I assuming he will want money - of course he’s a very good player.  He played a heck of a game yesterday.  He’s Getting an MRI too.

    You paid Garrett 25M annually.

    Chubb will get paid soon.

    Baker Too...Unless you want to draft his replacement. 

    we made a big splash with a TE and a RT this offseason. 

    so talking dollars and cents here- cap stuff and risk/benefit.  Do you go long term with Ward at 20M a year?  

    that is a question we may have to answer. No right or wrong answer.  My opinion - No.

    I asked a tavern question on this yesterday.. Can we pay both Ward & Baker's their 5th year options in the same contract season? But both club options don't come due until the 2021 off-season.. imo, We need to get some 2021 moved up off that year to do so?..Teller? Harrison? Chubb? is all due ending 2021 also? Ogun is due now? Mitchell is due now? few others

    Teller has out played Ward this season imo.. and Ward ain't Ramsey..Wards a top 3- 5 CB maybe?
