Surgery is done. Shoulder hurts, but not like I expected.I seem to be one of those who has less pain after I've been chip chopped. Weird.

Probably not true, but not a surprise if so. Think about it.

LOL...a family name I suppose. No doubt a name that is going to go the way of Wilbur, Homer, Delbert, and Merle. Give it 60 years and they will probably come back.

Girls have their goofy names. How many Girtude's do you know that isn't a great aunt to somebody that isn't at least 50 years old?

Haven't kept up with the draft much ... could anyone post a list of some possible guys to watch for tonight?

*Plays Jurassic Park theme*

The girlfriends of the draftees are always funny - you just know most of them won't be there much longer LOL

That whole set up was awkward to watch. Mcafee has a goofy crew. So you have Mcafee and his goofy crew including someone who was impersonating Mel Kiper. They are cussing like sailors. They’ve been banished to the back of the room. They have no real time video as to what’s going on. And here’s Bill who desperately wants back in the NFL hanging out with these misfits trying to be serious. One of the most awkward things I’ve watched in a long time.

Lol. I don't know any Gertrudes or Delberts. In this case, I was quoting Todd Haley from Hard Knocks. But this reminds me of a Red Skelton skit:

Red: "We went out with these two girls, Lassie and Hortense"
Buddy: "I thought Lassie was a dog"
Red: "You should have seen Hortense"

I would have never drafted Michael Pennix. He seems like a good kid and he has talent but his injury history is troubling. We drafted guys like that and it didn’t turn out well. I wish him the best and hope he has a good career but too many injuries to suit me. Jmo

j/c:

I've seen us linked to Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon. Easy speed guy. A little thin, but still young. Hard for me to get a strong read on him due to his offense and the secondaries he faced being underwhelming. Could very well go to Buffalo early, though. He would seem to complement they guys they have better than Ladd McConkey, who some have as BPA.

Mike Hall, DT, OSU is another potential pick I've seen. Another young guy. Pass rush potential would seem to fit the Schwartz attacking style.

Jer'Zhan Newton, DT, Illinois and Cooper DeJean, DB, Iowa would probably be my top guys on the board, though honestly, I didn't dig into them a ton because I figured they would be gone by now.

Junior Colson, LB, Michigan is probably the top LB still on the board. Maybe Edgerrin Cooper from Texas A&M. I like Trevin Wallace from Kentucky but he's projected a bit later.

Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU is a name I've seen some of. Athletic guy that has the measurables, but needs some technical improvement. I think I'd prefer Blake Fisher out of ND if we went OT. Kiran Amegadjie out of Yale is another OT in the mold of Suamataia, but with added level of competition questions.

Christian Haynes might be the top OG. He has some ties to us as (new offensive analyst[?], some coaching staff position anyways) Charlton came from UConn where he played.

Keon Colemon, WR, Florida State could make some sense. Jake Burns likes him. Kind of a Hopkins mold WR, but the 4.6 40 might turn some people off. Malachi Corley, WR, WKU is more of a raw-ish YAC/Deebo-style guy.

Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas and Jaden Hicks, S, Washington State are guys that we brought in on top 30 visits that are projected in today's range.

I like Zach Frazier, IOL out of WVU. Not sure how we'll weight positional value there, though.

Trey Benson, RB, Florida State has some fans on the boards.

Javon Bullard, S, Georgia is another versatile DB I like. A little "undersized," but love the instincts and attitude.

I didn't do enough work on the CBs to have strong takes on them, but some that were projected as potential first rounders are Kool-Aid McKinstry out of Bama and Ennis Rakestraw out of Mizzou.

Braswell out of Bama and Marshawn Kneeland out of Western Michigan could be BPA when we're up, though I don't know that we need edge defenders.

Pffft. Casuals.

Something to consider heading into tonight.....



(See reference to Andrew Berry's track record so far)

I truly don'get having Nassib do anything with the Browns. He was here for a whopping 2 seasons. Why not have Kirksey and Higgins do it instead? At least they spent a fair amount of time here.

I know it. I mean, I get why Nassib for the diversity aspect of it ... but he's probably more of a Raider guy than Browns. Should be someone else

Okay, last night was the craziest thing I'd ever seen in the draft. The first 12 picks and there 6 QB's, 3 WR's and 3 LT's. And a total of 9 OL drafted in the first round. There were 0 CB's or DE's selected in those first 12 picks.

There wasn't an edge rusher selected until pick 15 and not a CB selected until pick 22.

Very, very strange.

Would love LADD, no way we get him though.

And I've said as much many times. The comment "You can never have enough corners" comes to mind. Some positions such a high caliber edge rushers, CB's and LT are so hard to come by. And you need those players developing in the pipeline. You can't sign every player to a second or third contract that breaks the bank and positions like CB, LT, edge rushers and recently WR's have ballooned in cost making it much more imperative to draft and develop those positions when and where you can.

What interests me is the positions Berry lets other teams develop DT, RDE, LB, and safety. These positions are long-term projects.

As for WR, I like how he built the room. Let someone else spend the draft capital. I'm sure the plan is for Juedy to replace Cooper. As for the supporting cast, keep drafting mid-rounders and develop.

It looks as if Berry is doing the same to the OL. It will be interesting what he does at LT.

LT? Draft one in the 2nd or 3rd and develop him like Dawand Jones. Or DJ becomes our future LT and we draft a RT to develop. We can draft this way now because we have a talented roster and no pressing needs.

Sanders is the one I've been thinking for a couple weeks now.

I hope teams keep drafting more QBs so other positional players will fall to us, lol.

I'm hoping we can get Stover later.

I think we have enough pass catchers competing for targets. Give me the pure glass-chewing football player that will do the dirty work as TE2. Think he has the savvy on delayed routes to be a sneaky TD machine when teams are focused elsewhere. Saw a few show block, slip off into a wide open TD on the tape.

Boo, why can't I have nice things in the later rounds?

...Cooper DeJean dropping to the Browns?



...Trying to think of potential targets with that skin color.

Unless Berry thinks Wills is good enough at LT. I would lean in this direction. I am not sure you will find "Jones" in most drafts. I also do not think you will find a better option than Willis at LT in the second or third round. If the player needs coaching to start, he is going in the first round. Berry could wait until next year to take a first-round LT.

As for Dawand Jones moving to LT, forget about it! Leave Jones at RT. Jones may work out at LT, but you could have issues finding someone to fill his place on the right. Don't fix what ain't broke!

Coleman to the Bills

McConkey to the Chargers

Ohrohrorho?? haha okay

Orhorhoro was pegged for 3 round, right? Atlanta drafting like the Browns 10 years ago

The #Commanders are selecting Illinois DT Jer'Zhan Newton with pick No. 36. Washington gladly takes him after Atlanta jumped them for a different DT.

WR Polk to the Patriots

The #Titans at No. 38 select #Texas DT T'Vondre Sweat, whose first visit after he was charged with DWI was with Tennessee. He was upfront and honest, answering all questions.
