Not wrong, but there's a litany of reasons they haven't gotten over the hump, and I'm not sure where "Josh Allen isn't quite good enough" falls on that ranking: - They've had trouble developing WR talent. Diggs is the only consistent weapon they've found and he was a trade. - They've NEVER had...

I was already leaning towards wanting Maye anyway, so this could just be confirmation bias on my part... but if the coach who helped Josh Allen figure it out wants to trade up to draft a kid who's most common comp is Josh Allen, that's enough for me to say just stick and pick Maye. Doesn't mean...

Haha, sorry, I was trying satirize when someone says "It's hard to be the guy after The Guy", like how you don't want to be the QB who replaces Tom Brady because of the pressure of expectations that come with it. Obviously tongue in cheek because no one is looking at Mac and thinking, "How will...

Man, I never envy the Mac that has to come after the Mac, ya know?

The most important thing is how they feel about the QB's coming out THIS year. If they believe in one, and he's there, take him. Even if next year were loaded, I don't want them to pass on a guy they like just because there COULD be a better one next year. Conversely, if they really don't...

Yeah, it's more than three, but I think if they were to solve (meaning just getting a guy who belongs in the spot) a QB, WR, and LT, I think their other holes are more in line with what every team has to contend with. Now that doesn't mean they're suddenly as GOOD as most other teams, because...

Not sold on Rattler, but I'm generally of the philosophy that you either take one of the high end guys at 3, or you take a flyer in round 3 (or later), build the rest of the roster, and see what the QB landscape (draft or FA) looks like in 2025. Then you just keep doing that until something...

Patricia didn't make anything better, but they didn't just randomly make that switch because the defense was super awesome to that point. They also went from 28.2 points per game on offense in that 10-1 start, to 20 ppg in the final six, so the offense tanked too. We can't just keep blaming...

Honestly though, unless they hit on two OT's in this draft, a swing tackle could be really useful. Let's hope he can bounce back and be that, I'd be thrilled.

It's something to consider for sure, but that Eagles team had something real fishy going on last year. Starting what? 10-1, then fell off a cliff, to the point there was talk the coach could be fired. How much of that was smoke and how much was fire, not sure, but the wheels came off for a...

Exactly. They traded down and got Mayo. They traded down and got McCourty. They also traded down and took Cole Strange. The difference was in who they picked. Conversely, they trade UP for Hightower and Chandler Jones. They also traded up for Chad Jackson and Tyquan Thornton. Both...

Eh, if you're a good team, SoS doesn't matter, because you'll overcome. Also, if you're a BAD team, SoS doesn't matter, because you're not making the playoffs anyway. If they end up somewhere in the middle, then it doesn't matter, because even if they're competing for a playoff spot, and were...

I chose 1 OT and 1 WR, because that's ideal. But ultimately I want them to get an OT at 34 (or with a trade up), then I'm more open with who they take at 68. I think there will be a WR worth it there, but if there's a crazy run, I'd rather they get a better player (even if it's on defense)...

I think the injury concern might be a bigger one that you're giving it credit for. Not going to pretend I've done a lot of film study on the guy, but those I've read say he tends to take a high percentage of sacks when he's pressured (as opposed to guys who escape that pressure). That means...

It's even better because the K in KJ stands for Kendrick. So they have Kendrick Bourne and Kendrick Osborn. PROPHECY!

That's not that bad at all actually. That's a 66.7% completion percentage. For reference, if a QB completed passes to all his targets as efficiently as that, he'd finish 11th in the league in Comp%, right behind Burrow at 10 (66.8) and just ahead of Josh Allen (66.5). Yards per reception is...

Bourne had a career high 800 and 5 TDs in his first year in NE with a rookie Mac as his QB. He too was playing third fiddle to Samuel and Aiyuk in SF, so I'm hoping Osborn can make a similar leap this year. Having a ~800 yard version of Osborn, with Douglas, Bourne, Henry, and Gibson is at...

He was only a consultant in 2021, so I would be surprised if his vote outweighed whatever combination of BB, Groh, and McDaniels made up the pie. Doesn't mean he wouldn't have also picked Mac if he was the guy, but he wasn't at that time.

For what it's worth, Jon Harbaugh went straight from being the Eagles Defensive Backs coach to being HC of the Ravens, and he's been very successful. Won a Super Bowl with Flacco, and has pivoted to a very different style of offense with Jackson. You're right that that's not the norm, but it's...

We also don't know what Houston would have done had they had the #1 overall pick. Would they have taken Bryce Young? Would Young have had a better season in Houston than he did in Carolina, or is Stroud really that much better? This goes back to what I was saying about luck: Sometimes you...
