there’s a thousand things we don’t know about every single player and aspect of this team. I don’t think they’d release him cuz they’re dumb.
Kinda has to be what you’re assuming, right? Otherwise why now.
Patrick Graham was with AP and coached JJ for his time in Las Vegas. I assume they consulted him and he signed off on all the defensive departures.
Thumbs up to butler and Meredith. Don’t really know the other guys. I’ve been high on Meredith for a few years. I hope he proves it one way or the other this year.
Jones is one of those guys that gets you frustrated. Shows enough that he has the potential to be a true #1 CB but then is inconsistent in coverage and basically a liability in the run game. With AP gone, who obviously was his biggest advocate, it isn't overly surprising that he is out the door. Now, we are super thin at corner. Chinn is a good piece you can move around but Bennett, Richardson and Stokes do not get me excited about out coverage ability.
I'm still very hopeful about Bennett.
Best Avail WR or RB?
The lack of love for Isaiah Bond is astounding. He's a steal if still there. I could also get behind Andrew Mukaba, DB. Both played for Texas last year, both are transffers - Bond from Alabama, Mukaba Clemson. Landon Jackson and Kyle Kennard are probably the EDGE guys if we're looking for positional premium.
This is why I don't get behind Jeanty (plus the depth later at the position). If we stay at 6 there will be an elite defender or Sanders there - and the positional value at QB unfortunately almost forces our hand to take him. Maybe we can sucker NOS or NYJ to make a small jump and solve that for us. But if we stay, the consensus top 4 are:
im hoping for someone to trade up into the top 6 for a qb. This ensures that a pretty damn good playe4 will fall to the raiders.
if it does happen, trade back with pit and take dart.
Huge fan of Dart but PIT would have to give up #53 and 2026 1st to get it done and no way they do that. But Dart at 21, Connerly at 37, Henderson at #53, and Bond at 68 would make me swoon!And just so I can have receipts
His main issue is that he has two first names.
Unspectacular for 4 years, semi-spectacular final season. He's a solid player but doesn't jump out. I'd love him as our developmental guy at the right price. Probably not in the first three picks now that we spent our late 3rd. Kyle McCord same story for different reasons.
You clearly know more about prospects than me but 73% completion, 4,010 yards, 35 pass TDs, 10 INTs at 9.5 yards/attempt (with another 7 rush TDs) seems objectively spectacular, not semi, to me.
In the context of that offense, with those weapons, with that schedule, it's pretty semi- to me. Kyle McCord was 4779/34/12. I've seen a couple of Mason Rudolph comps and that seems right. I was thinking Kenny Pickett.
To clarify this, my enthusiasm is mostly about Howard's proven ability to operate within Kelly's offense. I think Kelly's got a bit of mad scientist to him (maybe too much?) and not any QB can survive in it - maybe I'm wrong, but it just feels like it's an all-or-nothing proposal. We either get a magical procession like TOSU just got or we get a flaming disaster. Knowing how Howard integrated into it plus his (hopefully) cheap cost increases my confidence.
I would not be upset if we drafted him for the reasons you state.

Carr and the 1.09?
Unclear if it was lingering from last season or if it's something new. Apparently it may require surgery.
More than their 3rd, less than their 2nd, but the "QB tax" always pops up so they may just pay the 2nd to get it locked in. I'd probably be happy offering it for their 3rd this year and 3rd next.
Shoulder, don't think it's anything new.
Interesting. Although the next time Gruden says something negative about a player will be the first time*. To listen to him you'd think every player was a future GOAT.
For sure. It’s one of the many reasons I can’t stand the guy.
I’m with you. Really hoping for a trade partner
Oh come on guys, he's a coach getting excited about talking football. And he's doing a series of player highlights - he's not going to invite a guy to his content and eviscerate him. I'd bet my mortgage AP and Pete Carroll would be exactly the same way.
I agree. It's politics, not football analysis. I mean, watching it makes me want to draft him at #6, but that would be dumber than Fredo talking about Jimmy Ola in a Cuban strip club.
It wasn’t just his show. It was broadcasting
They're all caricatures on camera. You lose access when you start openly criticizing active players. That's why I never understood people hating specific broadcasters, they're all the same.
Agreed. I’ve voiced this before. I just think his blowhard chucky split y banana crap is/was the worst
Meh. Sure, but is an aging DB in decline really what this team needs?
