Maybe he's just that good in the locker room as a coach type.

hmm....

It's always about weiners with you.

still hope Seattle wants to jump up at 12 when Dallas is on the clock. 1st round pick exchange and one of Seattle' #2's could work out well for both teams.

Would be interesting. Schneider has never traded up in the 1st round in 14 years as Seattle's GM. Usually they look to trade back.

I just feel pretty good that my GM will probably do good things.

yep

ok. I'll tell you how it was done.
Peterman gave all his pics of a variety of power people in the NFL to Boyle for a price. So now Boyle has the power that Peterman enjoyed for so long. No one wants those pics coming out.

saw a list yesterday:
10 bust-proof draft prospects.
Travis Hunter
Abdul Carter
Ashton Jeanty
Tyler Warren
Will Campbell
Jihaad Campbell
Will Johnson
Emeka Egbuka
Tyler Booker
Derrick Harmon

coin flip I guess but thought it was interesting the Mizou OT wasn't listed. Might be more game film than combo results. No Mason Graham was a shock.

Kind of makes sense if you assume Ward goes #1 and then there are two prospects head and shoulders above everyone else. Toughest pick to guess in the draft may be NE. They are probably sitting there praying someone takes Sanders ahead of them and makes it an easy stroll up to the podium for them.

In terms of Membou, his size should keep him off a bust-proof list. He has the tape for sure. He has traits. He might be a guard. That said, Will Campbell would be in the 1% for OT wingspan. Campbell is equally high risk-high reward imo but he does have more tape than most players.

This draft is a minefield. I wouldn't let anyone tell you different. Try and throw as many darts as you can.

Personally, I think Colston Loveland actually has a higher floor than Tyler Warren and is a bit safer because you can point to his separation and route running as obvious perks. Warren has the higher upside. He could be a 'do everything' TE but he didn't really do a ton of great blocking in college IIRC so its a bit of a projection.

I actually think the Ohio State skill player that is 'bust proof' is Treyveon Henderson and not Egbuka. Henderson is known as a willing pass blocker and he has obvious speed. Should be easy for him to get play time although likely never a bellcow.

I could see the Jags moving up to #3 to get Hunter if someone trades up to #2 to get Carter.

Obvious wildcard would be Atlanta. I could see them doing a Julio Jones trade for Carter.

My guess is with Membou he has only one season of really really good football shown. He had flashes in 2023 but still more athlete than football player at that time. So some concern compared to Campbell who did it for multiple years at a high level. There is also the him only playing RT in college thing where some team might try to move him to LT and there have been a lot of times that ends in disaster.

Mason Graham I would agree is a bit surprising.

Henderson is a tough one. The injuries are to me what make him more bust eligible than Egbuka. At least with Egbuka you know you are getting a great run blocker and a very solid all around WR that can pretty much do anything you ask of him to a pretty high level.

Does Collinsworth have any pedigree with this stuff I don’t know about? Guy doesn’t really cover any college ball.

I've seen fans here do their own mocks....why not CC?
