Yep - Watched it - Definitely weighted to the defense as well as players who can/have played multiple positions. The trading is complex and entertaining - Just makes me want to book a trip back to Bellagio now that the insipid mask idiocy is done
It looks like they're building foundations on defense. Defensive backs are the group with the depth in this draft.
DeAndre Hopkins gets an extended vacation for PED use, Christian Kirk was waaaaay overrated and waaaaaay overpaid to go to Jacksonville, this Kyler Murray clown is waaaaay overrated, if I was AZ I'd trade him. I look at this clown and I see another Baker Mayfield - except Baker actually won a playoff game. People think I am nuts, but I would not be one bit surprised if KC finishes last in their division. Of course, this will all depend on injuries, but if the Raiders' coaching staff is good, they have all the parts, as do the Chargers, and especially Denver. KC has a lot of weaknesses, and they paid MVS 30 million? The guy blows... oft-injured and can't catch a cold, and their running game is not impressive. Denver, Raiders, Chargers, KC in that order are my picks for the AFC West.
Ratings on Cowboys draft seem mixed to tepid. People seem to be high on Giants and Eagles drafts. What's the local scoop on the DC draft haul? T
AZ is having a crazy off season. I expect the NFC East to be much tighter this year. I'm not sure I'm willing to risk the $2 bill that I won last year from Keith on predicting the final records of the teams. With no impact players from the draft, a tougher schedule due to a winning record, and improved divisional competition, I'm thinking the Boys may be cruising for a Jason Garrett special, 8-8 or 9-7. T
They're high on Dotson, the WR out of Penn State in the 1st round. Their 5th round pick of QB Sam Howell out of NC is the one that gets the most discussion . . . as QBs almost always do . . . mixed reviews there. The rest of the picks are described as "solid" which usually translates to overly optimistic.
They get a cheap sideline clipboard holder as a backup for the next 5 years. Yeah, except isn't McLaurin also chirping about his contract? We were not talking about Houston, but yeah, last. I have NO idea what they are doing...
NFC East I think it's Philly's to lose. Philly has added a whole bunch of new pieces and will be fun to watch, but I do wish they had a 'go to' RB they would trust in key situations, but each RB is different, the problem with that is there is no rapport with the OL - and the OL plays a certain way with each diff RB, and this is HELL on an OL - it's all 'timing' with them, ask any team. Dallas has lost some key players, Randy Gregory for one, and I always thought of Amari Cooper as a decoy - when he wants to be. Some days he shows up, other days he is a ghost (and now gone to Clv). Sean Lee retired. Micah Parsons cannot do it all, Ezekiel should be cut but I don't know what the cap hit would be. Other key players are coming off major injuries. It may come down to coaching... (groan). Giants - have also added some good players, but also have a ton of players coming off injuries. I think the issues here are more mental than anything else, you watch these games and just have to wonder how you can play so bad as a whole? This too may come down to coaching - Daboll is good, Martindale is good, they drafted Wan'Dale Robinson - he is a great player if he can stay healthy, I've seen him from the sidelines when he played at NU before transferring to KY. If they stay healthy they can push Philly... Redskins (or whoever they are) - same ol same ol, not much to be said, a disgruntled WR that wants more money - (when has that EVER worked out?), a great RB coming off injury, a QB that Ben Simmons makes look good, not much else to add. I look at the depth chart - I don't see anyone I recognize, from hilight films or otherwise. Philly, Giants, Dallas, Washington...
We will have the same $2 contest this year, just prior to the season. Who knows what the WFT has in that PSU receiver? PSU couldn't and usually didn't throw the ball. The Eagles have a very soft schedule this year and the Boys don't/ The Eagles also have very little air travel, and time zone changes for games. Thier only big trip is to AZ and I WILL BE THERE TO SEE 'EM. I was in LAS this week. The odds for Philly SB win went from 50-1 to 40 with AJ Brown signing. A lot of square money always follows Dallas, so I have action on the NFC East win for Philly.
I've got my $2 bill from last year laminated! Your thinking on the NFC East is similar to mine. I think Boys and Iggs are the top 2, with schedule favoring Philly, while the G-Men and Commies are a year away. T
I was unaware of a $2 contest, all I knew of was the Pick'em one we had going.... I'll try to form a fantasy team league again this year, but doubt I get enough people in it, I think I only had 3 last year, not enough to even have a league.
Packers entire home schedule released. Eager to get date for Eagles-Cards so I can book my flights. Eagles open at Detroit, then at home second week Monday nighter vs. Vikes.
Washington will play in two Primetime games this season in Week's 6 at Chicago and 10 at Philadelphia. That's two more Primetime games than I expected. The Chicago game is a Thursday night.
NFL.com pundits claim that Cowboys and Giants have among the most favorable schedules. I hope the first half of that is true! T
I think Keith has some pull with the schedule maker. The Steelers play all their games in the eastern time zone. With the exception of Miami and Atlanta, they can literally walk to all their away games. What's up with that????
Wow. That's crazy. I recall a story some years back that said that West Coast teams were at a disadvantage due to greater travel times and distances...T
Paul. Eagles fan here. Steelers will not be .500 club no matter if they walk across the Penn Bridge to play The Little Sisters of the Poor. Eagles - Cards October 9. This year's road trip.
They do play in a weak division, I hate to admit. They also have games against NFC North weaklings Detroit and Chicago. I haven't really studied the rest of their schedule.
Tom C. I hate to break the news but take a good look at Boys schedule. Not that sweet. Bucs, Bengals, Rams, Pack, Titans PLUS the MIGHTY MIGHTY Eagles twice!
Sorry Keith, I was thinking you were a Steelers fan. Hey, the season has been over for 4 months, at my age I'm lucky if I remember where I parked my car this morning!
