The hell with that, we need to talk 2024. The development of Wallace, and whether he's capable of playing left tackle, is the key to any future conversation on the topic.

No regime gets 4 years to complete a rebuild anymore. I expect by the end of 2025 we are pushing for a playoff spot, and that by 2026 we're in.

This isn't exactly news. We've been talking about a potential Pats Vikings trade since early March. This was never going to happen. #11 was too far down the board to land a blue chip player. With the exception of Bowers, the quality of player at #11 was no different than that at #23. The only...

Penix was speculatively linked to Atlanta for a hot minute maybe a month before the draft, but it was a quick take that people seem to have forgotten about, so I was less shocked when it happened. I don't hate it. Cousins' guarantees really only impact the cap for two years. So there is some...

The Dolphins will bring in even better ratings while they go 10 - 7 and lose to Houston in the wild card round.

My rose colored classes homer outlook for the long term: * Maye develops into something near his ceiling * The team is right about Wallace, and he develops into a starting caliber OT * Baker is coachable and realizes his athletic potential, and a starting trio of Baker/Polk/Douglas emerges as a...

He's still a long ways off. The only way he can surpass Brady, short of besting Brady's records, is to accomplish something extraordinary that Brady hasn't done. If the Chiefs three-peat, I predict we start hearing some chatter from the major media players.

Bourne and Douglas are the starters until the one of kids steps up and beats them out for the job. Off the two rookies, I see Polk stepping in and being an immediate contributor. I think we'll see less of Baker in 2024, but the team hopes they can groom him to take over the X position come...

B+ I feel good about 2 of the 3 positions we needed to fix. I have a lot of hope for the Polk/Baker pairing especially.

The problem is, fans expected our future QB, a #1 WR and a ready-to-play OT out of this draft. The funny thing is, if the order of the picks went Maye, Baker, Polk, Wallace people would be celebrating.

We went high floor 3 years ago. Turned out to be a pretty low floor.

". ..but his sack rate when pressured in 2023 was a horrendous 23.2%. That means when he was pressured in 2023, about 23 percent of the time he was getting sacked..." That's a hot take!

Based on film I agree, he looks like the 3rd best QB on the board. He's a day 1 starter. My concern (and this applies to both Daniels and Nix as well) is his age. A 24 year old should look like a man among boys in the college game, because he is. He had the unfair advantage of extreme physical...

One year of Ayiuk is worth more to the Niners than the 34th pick. They are a legit contender whose window is now, and unlike KC they don't have a QB who can overcome a significant talent loss. Higgins is in a similar situation. Neither will be traded.

I'm okay with McCarthy at 3 because taking him there means we actually believe he's the best option. I become much less convinced if we trade down and still land him, because that means we may have taken a gamble and lost and are settling. I think the real way to blow the draft is a trade out...
