Watching some of these Rosen interviews makes me want him.

This is why college athletics/school shouldn't mix. I went to a D1 basketball school, and the athletes in my program were handled with kid gloves. It was a joke.

Definitely.

They did?
Damn... how’d i miss that?
Been all wrapped up in the nfl draft i guess
For the record,
I want Rosen if we trade up
Mayfield’s height worries me a little
And i don’t discount his cockiness/trouble as easily you- although He just needs to “grow up”
Baker is a heck of a QB though
My #2 choice
But i don’t wanna trade up to #2 for him

- jdfitz77


Trading up is going to be painful, to be sure.
While I obviously love Mayfield, Seriously I’d be fine with Rosen as well....I think the Jets take him at 3 though.

I think they get to 5, 6 or 7 in a draft day trade and take their guy there rather than trying to get to 2. Hopefully they can find a way to save their 2019 1st.

An interesting proposal though would be to Package 12, 22, 53(their 1st 2nd rounder), Shaq Lawson and Shady to the Giants for their 2nd. Including those two players might be enough to satisfy their need for immediate impactful help while also giving them a bevy of new players to plug other holes.
I don’t think the Giants are as bad as their record last year, since they were pretty decent the year before...it could be a great infusion of talent to ride Eli’s last 2 years.

Mitt was right though.
I just love it when people say the Govt should...fill in with X.
Who the F is the “Govt”?...you anD me that’s who...so, really they are saying “You” should.

And give fake rumors. At least we got that haul for Kane you said we would get, when everyone was telling you the opposite.

I’m actually kinda nervous that we won’t be able to trade up
I was watching NFL Live earlier, and they made a good point
Bc of these QBs getting picked high,
it’s knocking down guys that would normally be picked in the top3-5 down to picks 6-8
So it might be tough for us to convince a team to trade down to 12 & miss out on one of those studs

Well teams certainly have needs, so this doesn’t apply to all teams universally, but if a team needs D, they have to be loving the QB hype.
Chubb, Fitzpatrick, Edmunds, Smith, Ward, James, Jackson - that is 7 studs right there...
Throw in Nelson and Barkley and you have 9 outstanding players ... throw in the 4 QB’s and at 12 pick the selecting team is well- suited to pick up a player or have some ammo to move up a couple of spaces to grab their guy and still bank the remaining players / picks.
This is interesting stuff...can’t wait for Thursday!

Yep, that all makes sense
The worry for me is that Tampa (just for example) wouldn’t be willing to trade back with us bc they’re targeting a Safety & don’t know that one will be there at 12

So we’d potentially have to give them enough to convince them that possibly not getting “their guy” is worth missing out on

But yeah... overall, this draft could have quite a few twists & turns
Should be a really fun watch

I’m thinking about going it’s not like anchorman 2?

I have a major dilemma with the draft on the same day as infinity war If the draft goes wrong I’m not gonna be able to concentrate on the movie

We’ve got a lot of guys with talent coming
Hopefully, the competition for spots will cause some of these guys to elevate their games & outperform our expectations

Without trades...
It’s safe to say (IMO) that Eichel, Mittelstadt, Reinhart, O’Reilly & Okposo will be fixtures in our top9

Besides Olofsson...
Nylander, Rodrigues, Bailey, Baptiste, Cj Smith, O’Regan, Fasching, Oglevie, Asplund, Pu, Davidsson, and a couple others who might have some promise

Can ANY of those guys become “top6” producers?
Can any at least hang with Jack on the top line & actually “finish?”

It’ll be interesting to see who Botts might trade, bc obviously there’s not a spot for all these guys

Super Troopers 2 is probably the best comedy sequel I’ve seen
At least in a long time

Not a great movie
But anyone who liked the first will enjoy this one
There’s plenty of laughs
