  1. Jalon Walker at #5 overall is higher than I've seen anyone else list him. He's on the small side at 6'1, 240, and a lot of people have concerns if he can hold up at edge full time. I assume Jeremiah thinks he can in order to have him #5 overall. Walker can also be useful at off-ball LB, but he's not good enough to get #5 overall there. Someone like Flores could move him all over and make great use out of him, but top 5 guys usually have a clear position and don't need exotic scheming to be great. Jeremiah has Golden as his #1 WR, #16 overall. TMac is #2 at #18 overall. He has Barron at #11, down 3 spots from last ranking. Any pick in the top 15 would be a great outcome for Jahdae. Banks is down to #31, but Jeremiah says he can stick at LT. Kind of a weird eval. Most of the time Banks drops it's due to evaluators thinking he's a G. I'm not sure I've seen anyone else say he can stick at LT and having him nearly that low.
  2. It seems like the combo of him going to UT and knowing just how psycho and broken their culture is plus how bad their AD is right now would make him realize it's a bad idea. They've had two high profile coaches voluntarily leave in the last 8 months. That's absolutely unheard of for a P4 school with their athletics spending. But Beard is also insanely vindictive and arrogant, so maybe the chance to get revenge on CDC and his belief he can make any situation work will overcome that. Whether he stays at Ole Miss or goes to A&M, I doubt he stays at either program very long. He'll jump for a better job the second he gets a chance.
  3. I won't be shocked if Beard takes the A&M job, but I also won't be surprised if he's just using A&M to get a huge raise and NIL commitments from Ole Miss. He's been building up Ole Miss for two years now, just got them to the Sweet Sixteen and will have a better roster next year. Taking the A&M job would be a step backwards roster/program-wise, and both are just stepping stones to a better job. Maybe the opportunity to get revenge on UT and whatever insane salary aggy is offering will be enough for him.
  4. If your program is already a smoking crater, can you really make a program-cratering move?
  5. Yes, people like our "smart" friend in this thread are drastically overreacting to an out of context clip from like his freshman year. Tmac is in no way a diva and there are no work ethic concerns with him. He said he watches film with the team, but he doesn't do a ton outside of that. WR is probably the position where watching film matters the least.
  6. You sure about that, champ?
  7. The house settlement doesn’t cap third party NIL, and schools like Texas aren’t planning to get rid of third party NIL when House payments start.
  8. Satya gets it, I’d way rather return a bunch of production from a dogshit team so we’re good in a metric that’s pretty fucking meaningless in today’s transfer portal era rather than have 14 guys drafted and replace them with studs across the board. I feel bad for teams like tOSU and UT who were top four last year, pull in top recruiting classes every year but have low returning production because all their guys are getting developed and drafted.
  9. This is a super deep RB draft and Blue still can’t run inside and has major fumble issues. 4th round would be a great result for him.
  10. Yeah, they changed their front suspension and also said last year they were changing 99% of the car or something like that, and that’s what concerned me. It’s hard to imagine a fix for this that doesn’t result in some loss of performance and they’re already way down after two races. I’m sure they have some serious gains to make with improving setup/balance, but their strategy fuck up in Australia and a double DQ in China means they have to make huge strides immediately and can’t afford any steps back. Such a colossal fuck up to start the season. It’s just so Ferrari. On to next year and hoping they nail the new regs (which I’m sure they won’t).
  11. Yeah. It's not too surprising since last year looks like it was an all time great QB draft. I've seen a lot of scouts say Ward would be graded as the 4th or 5th best QB in last year's draft, and no one else this year would be in the top 7 or 8.
  12. Every NFL team can have 30 players visit, so reporters call those a "30 visit" similar to an official visit in college.
  13. I agree he should've gotten more than two races in a new car. That's absolutely pointless, but RB clearly isn't learning. They burned through Gasly and then kept him at Torro Rosso then let him go, despite him clearly improving and becoming a good driver. Similar thing happened with Albon. Both those guys are better now than anyone they've had in that second seat since. If Yuki doesn't work, I expect they'll give Hadjar a shot. I believe Marko is very high on Hadjar IIRC.
  14. I didn't get a good feeling when Ferrari said last season that they were going to completely redo their suspension design in the last year of these regs, and this is why. It takes too much time to understand a new suspension setup and have it mesh with the rest of your car. Interestingly, Charles was complaining a ton in the sprint and the main race that the Ferrari couldn't get the rear traction out of the turn that leads onto the long straight to overtake the Merc, despite the Ferrari being clearly quicker overall. Watching his onbaord, he would be following George extremely closely through all the turns and then lose 2-3 tenths accelerating out of that corner, making an overtake on the straight basically impossible. I would assume this is the reason for that as well as the excessive plank wear they've seen the last two races. If they can't quickly figure out a fix besides raising the car, then this year is over and might as well move on to 2026. Good. Yuki has proved himself way more and should have gotten the seat anyways. Lawson was a pretty meh prospect coming out of his junior career anyways, so it's not like he has all this untapped potential.
  15. Palou is clearly better than anyone else in Indycar, but I think Herta's in that second tier. He's showed great pace at times, and he finished #2 in the driver's standings last year. He's had a lot of bad luck/Team Andretti fuck ups the last 2-3 years. Even the St. Pete's race a few weeks ago, he qualified 2nd and was in the mix and then they screwed up his pit and he had to pit again and he was basically out of the race. I do agree though that they have better options in F1, however if they want a true U.S. driver (I think that's overrated), he's probably at or near the top.
