The Eagles somehow managed to get the 2 best CB's in the draft. How tf do GM's like Howie and BH just know how to hack the draft and walk away with insane talent.

Falcons have far more pressing needs but I can't blame them for drafting Penix.
Dude totally reinvented himself and became the best pure passer in this draft class.

Cousins is a ticking time bomb considering his age and the injury he's coming off of. I'm surprised if he's even ready to start by Week 1.

Plus the Falcons royally fucked up by not drafting a QB ready to take Matt Ryan's spot and that's what got them in the current situation in the first place.

Kind of a lose/lose situation in reality.

Not too mention the advantage of having a QB on a rookie contract has been completely nullified. They can't afford to surround Cousins with talent because of how much they're paying him, and by the time Penix takes over he's about to be getting paid.

My assumption is that they doubt they'll get a full four years out of Cousins before he falls off (which is probably why his guarantees are frontloaded for his first two seasons anyway.) So it'll be Penix taking over year 3 and them picking up his fifth year option. If Penix is good they look like geniuses because they managed to have cheap continuity at the QB position.

If Penix is bad they're all fired.

I think Cousins will fade out quicker than most are giving them credit for. mark my words and hell even quote me. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Penix take over this year.

Just because its the Vikings because fuck the Vikings
 
Well Aaron Glenn DC for the Lions has ZERO excuses after this draft. He should have PLENTY of talent to make his defense work. He has stars/talent at every level and position group. This team is winning the superbowl this year, we're gonna DOMINATE!


You'll have to excuse me im currently poaching my testicles in Honolulu blue kool-aid rn.

You know how much they've always wanted one of those!


In all seriousness tho JJ is closer to Fran Tarkinton than Kirk Cousins.

On the one hand he was something of an iron man pre-Achilles tear, on the other hand tearing it in the twilight of your career is a much worse scenario than doing it when you're young.
It's rampant among fans but I also think the league itself is forgetting that Brady is an eternal outlier. It took two years for Brees' arm to finish cooking. It took Manning one offseason. There aren't grounds to assume a consistently good QB (which Cousins is, so long as it's daylight lol) will stay that way or give a front office enough notice to figure out a replacement plan.

The Falcons especially have reason to fear that scenario, pissing off Matt Ryan after trying to replace him with Deshaun Watson forced them to trot out Desmond Ridder as their starter when he was a year away from being ready under the best circumstances (and probably had career backup as his ceiling anyways). It's reason #2 why Arthur Smith doesn't have a job there anymore, behind stubbornly refusing to actually get the ball to any of the offensive weapons the GM found for him.

I don't think this sentence has ever been uttered before, but Chicago now has one of the most stacked offensive units in the entire NFL. If Bears can shore up that o-line, gatdam brahs.

I don't think a first pick QB pick has ever been drafted into a better offense.

A shame it's such a shitty organization. Been a fan too long to believe anything will work out for the Bears.

I don't understand, Detroit had the 29th pick and only one weakness on that team with no shut down corner. How did the rest of the league let them get Arnold? This is like 4 drafts in a row where they just get the best players at every position they draft.

Brad Holmes has the ability to always get the guy he wants regardless of it makes sense (like how Sewell and Hutchinson were projected to be taken one pick ahead of the Lions but somehow fell on Holmes's lap and both just so happened to love the team) and additionally make Tom Grossi mald in disbelief (Jameson Williams, Branch and Arnold).
And now he got Rakestraw. The thing that I love the most about Holmes is that he is the kind of guy that probably pats his own back after everything he does but he is actually smart about it so he doesn't look like a complete autist.

The only thing that can defeat the Lions consistently is themselves. Holmes might represent the Lions the best here: don't act like you are the shit, just be the shit.
 
Glad to have a draft where I apparently see eye to eye with the Seahawks FO.
Got a DT to make it so a team's RB3 can't put up MVP numbers on us.
Got a physical freak at guard instead of trying to re-assign the 20th best tackle.
The only hole I'm worried we haven't invested in is Linebacker, and either they value the two dudes we signed in FA more than I do, or there's a reason both of their deals are prove it deals.

Confidence, thats called confidence.

I gotta find one of those "Villain" hoodies BH wore. I cant wait until the Lions are as hated as the Patriots or Chiefs are.

And the Refs
 
How the fuck do the Saints take a guy named Kool-Aid McKinstry in the draft? How the fuck do they find out about these cats? That's worse than Smoke Monday. Granted, the guy's apparently really good. Like, he should have gone in the first round good, but he got hurt and that hurt his stock, but what is up with that name?

It's just a nickname that his grandma gave him as a kid. His actual name, Ga'Quincy, is, uh, more respectable. :story:

Black people get flack for naming their kids weird shit but I know a white couple who named their kid 7. Yes, as in the number. Yes, like the episode of Seinfeld.
