The sanders are allegedly close to Tom Brady. This could be a cheaper cousins/pennix situation 

I forgot Brady has a partial stake in the Raiders now bc I don't follow the NFL very closely.

Man, I’m seeing big Cam get mocked in the 5th.  When he entered there were guys saying he could be a 1st round pick and probably 2nd round.  Dude should have come back.

It seems kind of obvious in hindsight. I didn’t feel like he was a 1st round lock, but assumed 3rd round would be the floor. Thinking about it, how much film is out there on the guy and how much is positive? He committed a ton of penalties, he whiffed on assignments regularly, he was hurt and ended up coming across as out of shape, in part due to injury. 

He would have gotten a comparable pay deal in 2025 had he come back versus being a 5th or 6th round pick. I think he could be a steal there, given how inexperienced he is. If he keeps ratcheting up the learning curve and hones his body into better shape, he could play for a decade+. Unlike people fading Banks, I do understand why folks are moving Williams down.

Wasn’t he the one with a million false starts?

Texans are trying to come to grips with Laramy Tunsil's exit so maybe he fills a need there?  Lol

A little thought experiment for the annual subset of fans who swear that there aren't 32 "first round" guys in the draft, so-and-so shouldn't get drafted, etc.

Take the QB position.  How many QBs are on rosters any given year?  At least 64.  Probably closer to 96.  Call it 80.

What is the length of the average NFL QB's career?  4.4 years.  That's right, 4.4 years.

It doesn't take a math whiz to figure out that there are probably well over a dozen QBs about to play the last year of their career, EVERY YEAR.  If we use my 80/4.4 numbers, it's 18 guys about to retire or suffer career ending injury.  EVERY YEAR.

Now, some of those guys were never gonna start, and some weren't drafted, and some outplayed their draft position, but the fact remains that on average there are a bunch of new QBs that will have to be absorbed by the league on an annual basis just to offset attrition.  For instance, in 2024 there were 11 QBs drafted.  For crying out loud, one of them was Spencer Rattler!  Anyone who thinks Quinn Ewers isn't draft material is an idiot.  Extend the thought experiment to all the other positions at your leisure.

Was his injury ever disclosed? I am of the opinion that he probably should not have been playing vs OSU, especially given the lack of run game. I do not think he was close to healthy. Respect the fact he went out there and played injured, but I would have preferred to see Goosby. Very talented guy, but raw and mistake prone. If he lands in the right spot, I could see him with a long NFL career. Very high ceiling for a guy projected 4th or later.

Am I the only one who thinks Tetairoa McMillan at 12 is a bad pick if Dallas takes him there?

He's an top-tier WR who's used to making chicken salad out of chickenshit at Arizona. Sounds like a good fit.

He'd be a great pick for them. Might not make it there though
