    The draft that reinvigorates the casual fan and general fan base would be Love at #3 and a trade up for Simpson.

    I think for the casual fan the OP is correct however, that same casual fan would be calling them both busts 5 games into the season when the o line cant block for them

    I'm on board with Reese at 3

    not saying we care but a guy in the building on draft day cares, so it suggests he might be the guy and btw and in general: given just how unpredictable the draft is on ratings vs who the player actually turns out, I just dont understand how anyone would get really upset over taking a player...

    I'm on board with Reese at 3

    Parsons was kind of an odd prospect played true MLB his soph year and was very productive for that position ( including 5 sacks) opted out of his junior year due to covid -- and entered the draft Parsons was a true Height/Weight/Speed/Athleticism projection with not a lot of tape to go on

    I'm on board with Reese at 3

    ill add this about Reese Rallis values what Zaven Collins does. Reese would be the potential of much higher impact Zaven Collins* **i know given the disappointment with Zaven this will be viewed as a negative, but it shouldnt.

    I'm on board with Reese at 3

    Reese is a OLB in the classic sense -- plays vs run, covers some, rushes some the question is: can he be productive enough rushing to justify a pick at #3. IF he plays OLB at a very high level, but produces 4 sacks a year -- then its an over-draft but one you can probably live with until...

    I'm on board with Reese at 3

    Dane Brugler -- and internet draft guy who I respect -- has Reese as his #1 player.

    ...and with the third pick in the 2026 NFL Draft..

    I think the hybrid designation is a bit misleading Reese played in the box for nearly all his snaps -- as an off the ball outside linebacker. This involved rushing the passer as well. Its what he will be asked to do in the NFL its not like Simmons who was safety, a slot corner, a...

    The Other Trade Scenario

    ugh part of the deal is not a single one of them has been reasonably healthy setting aside the last two 7th rounders -- has any one of those draftees been healthy for (lets say) 90% of the games? Isiah Adams might be the only one. I think collectively, that class might have missed more...

    The Other Trade Scenario

    Monti has done both: traded down, and, stuck and picked neither resulted (yet) in the caliber of player we expect from a top 10 pick within reason, I am so good with a trade down the draft has so much randomness in it, more chances is the way to go

    Today’s Rumor (April 10)

    IF Bailey is there -- i take him. If not, im good with a trade down assuming solid comp AND you come away with one of the OTs

    Today’s Rumor (April 10)

    some things are certain this year: no matter what happens (stay or trade down) or who is picked: someone will be unhappy with it. Will it reach the epic unhappiness of Chris Sanders when they picked Walter Nolen? Remains to be seen as that is a high bar. (all in fun)

    Rumor of the day (April 9)

    Bailey is the better prospect and i also think all the "character" stuff buzzing around on X is really about getting Bailey to fall a few spots
  13. football karma

    ...and with the third pick in the 2026 NFL Draft..

    if the Jets take Bailey, and that is being projected more and more it really leaves no easy choices at #3 a moderate over draft of an OT a pass rusher who has questions on how he will project -Bain a LB who is really good, but can he rush -- Reese a true ILB in Styles a RB in Love might be...

    Walter Nolan-Meniscus and not ACL? Darren Urban mailbag information.

    the aftermath of all this was a reason Bill Jr's stature / responsibility in the team went wayyyyyy down. Ultimately left when Mike became the guy

    Walter Nolan-Meniscus and not ACL? Darren Urban mailbag information.

    of note: there is no GM in the org. Larry Wilson was kindaaaaa GM (who by all accounts, a good guy, a good football mind but very deferrential). Ferguson and Graves were involved. No clear lines of authority on exactly who was responsible for the roster.

    between him and Reggie Virgil they are looking at speed guys who can be had later in the draft wouldnt be surprised to see a Brennan Thompson, Miss St visit

    Walter Nolan-Meniscus and not ACL? Darren Urban mailbag information.

    here is what i was told from someone in a position to know: Bill Bidwill Jr (Mike's brother) was working for the team. He negotiated the massive (at the time) Jake Plummer contract extension after the 1998 season. Unfortunately -- the only person who knew that he was doing this was Bill...

    yes, in the most Cardinal-esque fashion ever the Chargers were playing out the season and started Craig Welihan. the Cards took a 13-3 lead into the 4th quarter, but SD had moved the ball all day but threw 4 ints -- all by Kwame Lassiter. But the D allowed a Welihan 30 yard TD pass with...

    Who is Carson Beck

    further, if Beck was any good -- he would have left for the NFL two years ago. his NIL money is the equivalent of a high 3rd round pick with fewer guarantees (NIL is year to year) so for the last few years, the draft advisory council told him he was a late day pick -- and he decided the NIL...

    Ty Simpson declares for the 2026 NFL draft

    I agree with this and with 1st round contract slotting: taking a guy you think can be a starting QB is pretty low cost and you control him for 5+ years. but a top 5 kinda pick? far too rich

    It seems like the treatment for meniscus tears has advanced significantly in the last 10-15 years or so back in the Wadsworth days -- a big meniscus tear in the wrong spot just left bone rubbing on bone and there was nothing to be done about it
