    2024 1st round pick #4 is Marvin Harrison Jr

    I'm ecstatic! I've wanted him on this team for a year or more... what a pick.

    UNCENSORED 2024 Draft Thread

    Man, thanks for recognizing that. I actually went to a (new) doctor this morning too - and she told me everything was on point with the surgery recovery. It was all a good vibe day.

    UNCENSORED 2024 Draft Thread

    I had a lot of people over tonight, the most I've had since I had my injury. TONIGHT WAS GREAT. I love the picks, I love the night I had with my pals. Everyone else seemed to like their picks (besides my 9ers friend with Pearsall). How freaking wonderful!

    What is your definition of "haul"?

    Sure, they "like" Brissett, but he's only a bridge QB at best. When are you going to end up at #3 overall with a top QB there again? He gives you the luxury of sitting the QB as well so they're not thrown out there into a horrible situation. That's not to mention that the timing fits well with a...

    Ossenfort is Kicking the Hornets’ Nest in this Draft.

    Monti, and no one else besides the Bears (seemingly) have any idea what the other teams are doing. It's been a long-standing thing, in the 20+ years I've closely followed the draft - everyone is trying to seed doubt and strengthen their position. It's smoke screen city, and all posturing. Why...

    What is your definition of "haul"?

    All of that is sensible - I don't really see why the Pats would trade back that far when they need a QB more than the Giants, in reality. But, I do understand they need to rebuild. I think they'd need even more than we would, and again, I don't know if the value for the Vikings exists to fill...

    Steve Keim Opens Up About Mental Health Issues

    I never said I was feeling bad for him. I sympathize/empathize, whatever. Like I said, I haven't listened to the podcast. I don't have a stance to "agree with." I think if people can learn from their mistakes and genuinely get better, I'll celebrate that. Maybe they can help someone else down...

    Steve Keim Opens Up About Mental Health Issues

    I think it would do us all a little bit better in the world to let people redeem themselves. Yes, the DUI(s) are bad but whatever he did when it comes to sports doesn't really count in the grand scheme of things. We've all done bad stuff or made poor decisions, and if you can genuinely say you...

    Steve Keim Opens Up About Mental Health Issues

    I have sympathy for him, although I haven't listened to the podcast yet. (Maybe after the draft when I'm starving for content.) Work stress absolutely wrecked my life for a while. Lots of people in my profession cope with alcohol, and it's taken me a little bit to get better with that. I can't...

    What is your definition of "haul"?

    It's MHJ or bust for me, but for the sake of conversation, the Vikings deal is the only one I can swallow, and I'd want something more, like another 3rd this year. Which I don't think is realistic for McCarthy or Maye, soooo... The rest would leave me very disappointed. They could mitigate my...

    Ossenfort is Kicking the Hornets’ Nest in this Draft.

    I'd argue we got screwed in that we passed up on the rookie of the year on defense for what isn't an extremely premium pick. Screwed is hyperbole, but it's still enough to leave a bad taste in one's mouth.

    OT: 2024 NFL Draft Rumors

    It should at least be rounds one and two on a Friday night or whatever. Make it an event. Then do the rest on Saturday. Heck, we're lucky enough to be PST/MST during the 1st, which lasts a full four hours. I'm hosting a draft party but everyone has to be back to work in the morning, which makes...

    OT: 2024 NFL Draft Rumors

    Someone can jump into 5 and take Odunze potentially ahead of us. I know Nabers is also considered a top prospect, but... meh. I don't want to make it sound like I don't like either Odunze or Nabers, because I do, but I think we're getting too cute. Marvin Harrison Jr. just feels like a lock...

    Mock Draft 2024 Thread

    There's safeties I definitely like in the late 3rd/4th. I think it's the nature of the simulator that I'm using where I end up going Tez Walker, who I think is a tremendous value at the end of the 3rd/early 4th. But I agree with you, a late day 2 or early day 3 investment at Safety isn't a bad...

    @oaken1 I did one more paying attention to the OL... but I really dislike where it puts us at CB still. But I'd be happy with it.

    Mock Draft 2024 Thread

    Well, the Chiefs have an amazing defensive player up front in Chris Jones, and the 49ers have a line that's anchored by the player I think we should have taken over Kyler (Nick Bosa). We happened to pass on the defensive rookie of the year last year, too. Right now we're talking about taking a...

    Mock Draft 2024 Thread

    Top CBs in this league aren't found late. Are you talking about day three picks and "June 1st cuts," which haven't produced anything in forever these days, given the delayed designation you can give now? Strengthening the front 7 doesn't happen with one DT and a backup OL. I guess I just don't...

    Why isn't CB on your list? I find that one of our most disastrous positions. I don't think we can cover anyone with the current lineup.

    Mock Draft 2024 Thread

    Sorry, he scares me. 8 starts? A significant injury history? It feels like a Keim pick. I would argue that generally, a team picking at 27 is probably good enough to take the risk to sideline a guy like Mims and develop him based on upside. As a really bad team overall, I'd like to get some...

    Mock Draft 2024 Thread

    The way the draft has been falling to me in multiple mocks, it's either been reach for an OT or take a player I consider a much higher talent at what's still a major position of need. It's tough because we absolutely suck at CB, our DL is stuffed with nobodies, and our situation at Edge is...

    Mock Draft 2024 Thread

    Forcing myself to stay put, I went with this. I'd be very happy with it all. I'm not sure I think it's entirely realistic at some spots, but it'd put us in a great spot. I see us coming away with 3-5 starters with this approach.

    I dunno, it was before she got mega famous so maybe she's changed. Went out of her way to be really nice to a scared little girl at Disneyland. Apologized for bumping into me. Seemed super sweet.
