Wait and see in Latham I guess. Hopefully Callahan can get the best out of him. The clip of coach Mac praising Latham yesterday morning gives me hope.

If I’m the Falcons owner, I’m not happy with my GM right now. Not for picking Penix, but for not having a well thought out plan. Massive waste of money to sign Cousins then turn around and draft a QB. Maybe they think they can compete this year, with Cousins, idk.

Like someone mentioned a few posts back, trading back to get more picks in 2-3 rd imo is where it’s at.

YOU NEVER KNOW..... Might be some teams out there expecting Nix and Penix to get down the board and within reach. If some of them are more critical at the position, there might be some GREAT trade potential that they were aware of. Could get a combo deal with a player of need and one or two developmental guys they feel better about than what they saw in this draft if they traded down for picks.

Way too many definitive slings and arrows this morning by the talking heads. Not to mention a Cousin's injury potential.

Did you even go to gatlinburg if you didn’t check out the bmw?

 

[butchna]

@Cosmo Kramer @butchna Does that rendering of a new Chicago stadium remind you too a bit of Neyland, being waterfront?

It’s got that advantage. Prolly why Warren veered away from a much more advantageous Arlington Heights opportunity on land they already own. That and being a downtown Chicago resident and close personal friend to Brandon Johnson.

Started 14 games at LG. That’s where they’re keeping him.

You are correct, typers error.

 

[Orange.]

KenSuck doesn't always get blown out by the Vols. Occassionally they suffer the grim, last-minute heart break.

Typer error. He played tackle in college.

They were so happy for just a moment.

I wouldn't mind this under the circumstance we're in today. Somehow this franchise has to stop spending so much first rd capital on Olineman. I really don't want to be in this same place next year, looking for a LT.

LT is arguably one of the most important guys on the field. You spend a ton on a good QB if nobody protects that blind side he won't be good long. The thing about LT the really good ones are hard to come by and if you find one you don't let him go.

Ugh. Chryst was such a disappointment

Coke.....it doesn't matter what brand they're serving, if you are really from the South it's Coke when you order what to drink with a hamburger and such.

 

[Glitch]

I said ownership. She is an Adams, and wear Oilers gear. How is that contradictory. That is exactly my point, again.

Jesus so glad we have actual coach that knows how to evaluate QB talent

Some Friday morning armchair draft room notes.

Falcons: Cousins is coming off a serious Achilles injury at age 35, will be 36 at the start of the season. Penix is a short term project like Hendon. He will need a year of two to get ready as CRM builds his org and system of play. They took the long term view, which always starts with the QB. The questionable part was giving Cousins 180 M over 4 years with $50 M signing and up to $100 M guaranteed. That horse already left the barn though. If you view a rebuild as taking more than a year or two, they did it well IMO. Penix can be a franchise QB.

Bowers to the Raiders is a waste of talent.

Titans: Do you trust Dad Callahan or not? This value crap means nothing. A good LT and RT are both important and he is being paid a rookie contract deal. He is not a free agent RT that you want to convert to LT. He is an OT that you will try to convert to LT who you know will dominate at RT.

KC and Andy did it again. Just what they needed.

Bears -

I generally agree. Still think Falcons are dumb, but i respect your theory on rationalization. There will be decent project quarter backs in later rounds. Rattler being one. They also could have simply traded down.

If he's not a LT then he's a bad pick at #7. IMO

I think I’m on the trade back train. Lots of good players would be left in the late 40s, early 50s, and the titans need a 3rd round pick. Too many holes to fill. I HATE when they trade valuable picks for a washed up player then get next to nothing out of the player, like Julio Jones.

 

[rikberry31]

Bears fans ain’t feeling pain presently.

As any Tennessee fan can attest to, being in pain doesn't mean you're feeling it.
