    R4/110 Javon Baker WR UCF

    Pretty sure this is a joke referencing Baker saying that he wants to "kill" whoever is lined up across him.

    2024 NFL Draft 4th through 7th round gamethread WITH SPOILERS

    But to have this opinion, you have to assume that they didn't see Polk as the BPA there, and that's a huge assumption with no basis in anything.

    2024 NFL Draft 4th through 7th round gamethread WITH SPOILERS

    The entire post I'm responding to is about Dejean v. Polk and being forced to reach for a top 10 CB next year for vague reasons. I'm well aware that you need good corner depth to contend, but you also need good WR depth, so I don't understand why - if you have Polk and Dejean fairly equal on...

    2024 NFL Draft 4th through 7th round gamethread WITH SPOILERS

    1. Who is saying that the Patriots reached for Polk? Where is this defined? Some people thought it was early, some people think he's a round 1 prospect. I don't know why you're fixated on Polk vs. Dejean outside of one guy was commonly mocked in round 1. 2. Why would this team really need a CB...

    2024 NFL Draft 4th through 7th round gamethread WITH SPOILERS

    Why is it that the Eagles - ostensibly a contending team - can wait and take Dejean at 40 this year, but if the Patriots are a contending team with a need at CB, they'll have to reach? Players drop every single year. It is not a unique circumstance for a player like Cooper Dejean to be...

    2024 NFL Draft 4th through 7th round gamethread WITH SPOILERS

    Think of it this way: They made a huge investment at 3 with Maye. They have next to nothing in terms of offensive infrastructure right now. The line sucks, the WRs suck, the TEs are old and not very explosive... it's going to be very hard for Maye to do much if no one outside of Pop Douglas can...

    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    Yeah, but the Drake Maye of it is the most important and consequential decision. If he's good or not good, we have pretty decent evidence as to what decision BB would've made if he was still here.

    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    I think it's really cool that, in a few years, we're actually going to get some kind of confirmation about whether the decision to move off BB was correct or not. If Bill wasn't doing these draft breakdowns, we might still think in the back of our minds, even if Maye worked out, "Could he have...

    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    can we just see how these players perform on the field before we slam this draft? It’s one thing to get frustrated with a pattern of behavior by BB, and another to rip this FO for failing before these guys even go to minicamp. that’s not to say we can’t have a good discussion about it, but some...

    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    Ecstatic about this. I think history shows, there’s zero percent chance of failure. (sarcasm aside - this was the best outcome)

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    But the 2024 first is the #1 overall pick this year... you, as the Chicago Bears, could look at the Panthers adding Bryce Young and say to yourself, "Next year's pick is still going to by high AF" pretty confidently. We can't do that with Minnesota - if they add a good QB, next year's pick...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    It would go against Silver’s policy of complicating every aspect of the game with lawyerly bullshit

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    I think Philly got what they wanted because we’re talking about rules and reffing minutia instead of Joel Embiid not bothering to box out hartenstein on the most critical play of the game or even having the effort to grab a single rebound the entire second half of the game. Injury or no, the...
