Not understanding that WR pick but glad they’re getting more draft capital.

Faker Mayflower is going there.

Love what Commanders have done day 2-3. Arguably the best player on the field in national championship game- bruising RB Williams will pair well with Gibson. Blazing speed at safety was needed, depth at TE and Sam Howell in 5th was a steal!

Not surprised at all. The kid is overrated.

overall, im content with the Cowboys draft.

They went for athletic talent, while potentially raw, which is what they've been going after for the last decade and its worked out well. If their position coaches can teach these guys solid technique, like we have been able to do lately, this draft is going to end up having several long term starters.

OL Tyler Smith is the type of guy you want on the inside and it looks like he is going to get the chance to start early on at Guard. This should help his penalty issues, as most his penalties came from him reaching out at DEs in pass protection while playing tackle.

DE Sam Williams reminds me of Parsons in terms of athletic ability. One of the fastest DEs in the draft, good strength. Just needs to work on his pass rush moves, much like Parsons did last year. He'll be in the DE rotation with Armstrong and Parsons opposite DLaw.

WR Tolbert is a Gallup clone, and will be a solid #3 WR.

4th-6th picks are a lot of guys that have good athletic traits, but need some coaching. the LB they took in the 5th from LSU is a stud and would have been a day 2 pick if he wasnt injured. Hopefully he returns to form after a year of NFL training and rehab.

Giants had a solid 1st round. Thibideaux and Neal were some of the best in the draft. Not sure about the wr they took in the 2nd though. Sure hes fast and shifty, but he is tiny.

Eagles had a good 1st, mainly because they traded their 1st for a good wr instead of drafting another 1st round WR bust, but i wasnt high on their 3rd round pick LB Dean. I was glad they took him though, cause a lot of people thought the Cowboys would. Dude has a bad knee, bad shoulder, torn pec and refusing to get surgery despite many drs telling him he should. Maybe he was just waiting to get to the NFL and have access to the NFL Drs/ Surgeons, but it doesnt sit well with me.

The Commanders are the Commanders and they came away not getting a QB and not really improving their team imo.

The Giants have informed CB James Bradberry of his release, source confirmed.

He missed like the 1st 6 punches, they always post the short version of the video...

I wish the guy got knocked out and onto to conveyor belt. That would have been awesome.

Giants projected to win 7 games this season. I just might put my entire nest egg in on the under.

[Ross Malmgren]

Love what the Eagles have done this off-season w/trades and draft. The Big "if" is if Hurts can take that next step forward with all the weapons he'll have around him. I believe he will and their D will be much improved top 5 in the league.

Bold Prediction - The NFC runs through Philly!

Must he hard to be a fan with predictions like that. At least they will have more free time on their Sundays

Does anyone think that Watson will wear a game uniform this year? The lawsuit count is 26 at this time and the statements from the women is quite damaging and consistent. I personally think that he will not play this year at a minimum. The Browns and that $1M first year salary was smart, the guaranteed money was not.

[EDWYER]

I have one spot left in my fantasy football league that's been going on 15 years. 40 buy in. No keepers, yahoo random order selected 30 minutes prior to draft. (Aug 25th) Pm me if interested.

I hate Mac Jones and because Bill gave him a team and spot he didn't earn, I wish them the worst.

[EDWYER]

Looked like things could not get worse for Seattle, then just heard Chris Carson retired due to neck injury.

He beat out Cam Newton in training camp to be the starting QB. He was teaching Cam the routes, plays, etc. He earned the starting QB role over Cam and the other QBs on the team.

Almost beat the bucks with TB. Went down to a FG in the last seconds.

How has he not earned his spot? He did very well considering the other rookie QBs in the league that year: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/...y1j4h3jxjuwikk

Just curious why you think he did not earn his spot?

Every coach 'gives' his starting QB a team. The coach tries his best to give the QB the best chance to be successful.

BTW I am obviously a homer.

Well, he didn’t beat Cam out in camp. This is said by Cam AND Julian Edelman, and even McDaniels didn’t claim as such. In fact, they stated they believed that he could rise to the occasion - but he never did based on the sats and eye test.

Mac played with the second team O and defense during camp and could barely move the ball down the field. Mac was the same guy during the season that he was in preseason and camp: low risk, short throws because he didn’t trust his arm to make the tight windows and deep throws.

Despite being gifted a team and offense he didn’t earn, his production was terrible. 22TDs to 13ints. Keep in mind Cam had LESS to work with last season - his top receiver was Jackobi Meyers, and NKeal was literally #2, and his top TE are now currently benchwarming as 4th strings. And had about the same stat line. Literally, no one could have done better in that situation.

Mac managed to get 3 more wins with 250 MILLION in new personnel, and an easier schedule. And he STILL lost 4 of the last 5 games when actually asked to do his job and pass the ball. I believe the Colts watched the Tape and decided to shut down the run game and force Mac to pass, and he blew it. It would have been 5/5 but the Windstorm in the Buff game saved him.

I get it, Mac is a rookie, he has room to grow. But honestly, Mac sat Behind Tua in college, and had one good year with basically an NFL roaster and was thrown right into the pros so he could stoke Bills ego - Bill is still salty that Brady won a SB without him showing that Bill didn’t help him - he was helping Bill. Mac has never shown any ‘flashes’ to say he’s on the same level as Herbert, Burrow, Allen or the like. He’s a game manager, who if he’s luck, may get to Alex Smith levels of stats and wins - basically your need a loaded team just to get to the playoffs.

Mahomes is a good counter point to Smith, as he was able to elevate the players around him. Mac hasn’t and doesn’t do that. In less games - Cam gave Julian Edelman a Career game (despite playing with Brady) He elevated Nkeal to his best season (very hard to do) had no James White security blanket and still scored 66% of the teams TDs.

Bills arrogance is going to tank that team and I hope he takes Mac with him.
