  1. Unsurprisingly, draft grades waiver between "they paid too much" to "they got two great players", and sometimes both: From NFL.com: Pro Football Focus: Yahoo Sports: Bleacher Report: CBS Sports: The Ringer:
  2. AR15 is in that group too, IMO. I watched him play a few times this past year… woof.
  3. Levis just got passed on by every team in the league. He’s a classic “well he sucks at the actual game but he took his shirt off and threw a ball with no defenders 69 yards so we drafted him” GM trap. You are free to leave your Levis Pro Bowl fantasies in the overhead compartment until that plane actually arrives at its terminal.
  4. Uhhhh yeah man, we got it the first few times you said it. You ‘strenuously objected’ and its noted for the record.
  5. We have 10 more picks in this draft.
  6. Stroud and Anderson are certified badasses. We gave up a lot but better to have badasses and try to go win than have plentiful future picks IMO. Got our leaders on both sides of the ball for years to come. Both can start Day 1.
  7. In case you have forgotten that the NFL is a fucking dirty business and the players are seen only as commodities, here’s a good point:
  8. We’re not taking Bijan. Stop crying about it.
  9. Wait… Houston could’ve drafted Vince?! Someone please fill me in on the details here, this is a subject that has never been, but should be thoroughly, discussed on Shaggy, I mean, Surly. TIA
  10. Lance Zierlein basically said today that Carolina is now locked in on Young. LZ usually has a good read on these things. So it is likely Stroud or Anderson at 2. And I’m good with either. A trade back works for me, too.
  11. Should’ve won 12-1. 🤘
  12. Fought back in both wins. Good sign. Teams playing good ball, building confidence. 🤘
  13. The last FA piece falls into place. Great signing. Just on paper we should be good on D, if we can find a great DE in the draft who can contribute Year 1, we’ll have a chance to play some great D. Mas: On to the draft.
  14. Good value both ways I think.
  15. I like both moves for the value -Tunsil in that its three years (any longer would’ve been a bit much at $25/yr), and Cooks in that the WR market is flat dead right now and we further bolster our ‘23 draft profile while getting his contract off books. And both moves free up cap space. Dallas added a lot of good pieces thus far.
  16. I don’t know much about salary cap management but below tweet would suggest Denzel Perryman would be our last potential addition due to our need to keep cap space for rookie signings. Reading this makes me think we’d need to clear an additional $1.6M to sign him plus his cap hit, which a Brandon Cooks trade would do: With that said, really good FA work by Texans. Had to sign a lot of guys to fill a lot of holes (10 FA signings, that’s like third most in league maybe) so good job spreading it around, tweet here is good perspective: So, hopefully we get Perryman and trade Cooks, then it’s on to the draft to grab starters at QB, WR, C, EDGE.
  17. Just win, baby. Also, the New Orleans Privateers is a fuckin sweet name.
  18. Not a home run FA start but not bad either. I really hope we LOVE a Center in this draft, our OL would look pretty good if we had a badass Center and some good ones got signed for less than premiums yesterday. ILB too. I may be in minority here but I hope we extend Tunsil. Would like to see us sign Mack Wilson.
  19. Keenum is a veteran with experience in this offense and can be a guide/mentor to a rookie QB on life in the NFL and how to operate in this O. Mills’s existence doesn’t factor into this at all, IMO. Keenum will be a QB coach one day.
  20. Need to get Al-Shaair too and we’d be off to a great start on D vis-a-vis stealing from the 9ers.
