    Official 2019 Draft

    Well, I will grant you that the first key to building a championship team year after year is the buy-inof the owners. If they are expecting a complete 180 turnaround in four years, usually it ends with fired coaches, new GMs etc... When you're willing to give your team time to execute properly...

    Official 2019 Draft

    Well, we took Oruwariye, a guy I really wanted us to take. So you know he's gonna suck. I have a long history of wanting us to draft the wrong guy.

    Official 2019 Draft

    The NFL is littered with great QBs who never won the big one, and it doesn't have a huge history of 6th round QBs who went to the hall of fame. And let's not forget, when they took Brady off the board at 199, the Kipers of the world laughed at them too. This is a guy who never saw the field...

    Official 2019 Draft

    I really believe that when you are upgrading right now and plugging holes, you're mindset is "this guy will work" instead of "give this guy a year or two to develop and he will be a star for us". And what you get out of that is a whole team of adequate guys. I think thats been the root of our...

    Official 2019 Draft

    You're still looking at the draft as the whole puzzle, and it's a piece of the puzzle. June cap cuts coming, we made a few trades last year... this is one piece. And again, you're only building for "who plays now" if you're concern is this seasons win total. If you're looking at "we think we...

    Official 2019 Draft

    I just don't have any concerns with Quinn. I have a lot with Patricia. Season one he was clearly overwhelmed as a coach and didn't exactly rise to the new challenges. Let's see if he settles in and finds his groove.

    Official 2019 Draft

    In my opinion, and again I am no GM, you can "rebuild" in a couple of ways. You can focus on getting more wins, or you can build a championship team. We've see years of Mayhew building for a few more wins. The way Suh's contract was handled showed he had no concerns for the long-term, future of...

    Official 2019 Draft

    One thing I truly respect and love out of Bob Quinn, he's not an excuses guy. He signs guys he believes in. he drafts guys he wants to draft, and if it all fails, he's got no one to blame but himself. He's building his team his way, and I see a lot of Patriots influence to it. He might end up...

    Out of respect for everyone, I won't comment, except to say you won't be disappointed.

    Official 2019 Draft

    I don't hate any of these picks. I am intrigued by them all, and of course it wasn't what I expected. I remember reading an article a few years ago that talked about Belichick, and how he only has 75 guys on his board. That's it... 75. If none of those guys are left, he deals his picks. But he...

    Official 2019 Draft

    See, that's what I thought. Maybe I just need more coffee today. Was up late seeing Avengers: Endgame, so getting started a bit late and groggy too.

    Official 2019 Draft

    He was announced as a linebacker when picked.

    Official 2019 Draft

    He was essentially a rush LB in a 3-4 package from what I recall.

    Official 2019 Draft

    Pretty happy with the Austin Brant pick. Very good LB who could have gone a lot earlier. Lions are looking to build the LB corps. Didn't he play DE primarily in college, or am I crazy?

    Official 2019 Draft

    So, rumor has it the Pats and Iggles were both after this Tavai kid. Several teams were high on him. Looks like the NFL knew more about him, by a long shot, than the NFL media teams. I personally had no idea who he is.

    Official 2019 Draft

    No matter what the scouts say, the Lions liked him enough to take him. We're gonna find out why.

    Official 2019 Draft

    Seems to me no one, or very few at most, seem to think Hockenson is a bad player, or will be a bust or isn't as good as he's billed. I've even seen writers say he compares to Kittle, but is probably a better blocker than Kittle was coming out of college. The big dispute seems to be where he was...

    Tyreek Hill barred from team activities

    I don't need the second one. If he broke the arm of a three year old child, he needs to be behind bars, end of story.

    Kelly Stafford

    She's home again. Let's hope the worst is behind her now. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/26612720/kelly-stafford-hospital-again-recovering
