It would be amazing if OBJ could come back, he must be damn close. Playing for the first time on a surgically repaired ACL must be scary as fuck, though, so I get why he and the Browns have been cautious. Practice is one thing, but safeties will be going low on him right off the whistle, trying to get him mentally off his game.

Schwartz tries to get way too cute with Myles, dropping him into coverage or having him set the edge. #95 needs to have his ears pinned back every play to rush the QB.

That seems pretty realistic. If I’m nitpicking I’d probably say one less offensive lineman and one more corner.

I think Johnson definitely makes the cut. He’s proven to be a great backup for Chubb and Hunt, he has years of experience and chemistry so if there’s an injury he can step right in even if he doesn’t get many reps, and more than anything he’s proven to be an excellent special teams player. The latter is what is getting him picked over anyone else.

I absolutely cannot believe how amazing our roster looks this year. JFC it’s turned around fast since the Sashi Brown era.

There’s significantly shortened quarantine protocols for vaccinate players. He’s pretty damn important to the team as a rookie and I don’t want to see him missing practice time.

Overall there’s a ton of incentives for teams to have high vaccination rates this year, it’s a no brainer at this point.

He’d better be vaccinated.

I like it. This team plays well with a chip on its shoulder. The Chiefs are one of the few teams in the league who would be heavily favored to beat us (they get a huge home field advantage). This is a great measuring stick right out of the gate.

I mostly agree, with a few exceptions:

RB: I have a hard time seeing them cut D’Ernest Johnson. He has done a fantastic job filling in, and is a great fit for our system. I think he’d have a good shot to compete for a starting job, on most any other team.

OT: I think they find a way to keep Hubbard, at least to start the season. He’s not a…[Read more]

Berry said they’ve researched his heart condition extensively and it’s an absolute non-issue.

Wilson was fantastic in 2019, is a fantastic leader, and plays a position of need for us. A lot of great athletes in every sport at every level had down years in 2020, it was an unprecedented year. Seems like a great kid to take a chance on.

LeCounte could be a really sneaky, good pick. Excellent college player, good high school recruit, fell because of a bad pro day. He doesn’t look slow on game film at all. That’s a good risk.

Fields is the same mold as Owusu-Koramoah, but even smaller. He plays fast, apparently tackles well against players larger than him, and fits the scheme.…[Read more]

They made a couple more picks than I thought they would, but this was a fantastic draft. Two defenders who could be day-one starters, a wide receiver who could be a sneaky weapon with plays designed for him, and then a bunch of solid dice rolls in dudes with question marks. Love it.

LeCounte is another pick I really like. Highly rated out of high school, had a great college career, looked terrible running drills in his pro day so he fell down the board. Well worth taking a risk, here.

Although we just drafted another undersized fast ILB in Tony Fields, so maybe that’s just the mold Berry likes.

Adding 10-15 lbs by year two is pretty standard for rookies, once they get into an NFL training program, isn’t it? So I’d think so.

Oh, and that WR we drafted in the third looks like one hell of a weapon. Insane speed and good hands. I’ll bet Stefanski is already designing a few plays around him. Could be threat in the return game, as well.

I feel the exact same way, I’m just amazed they’ve kept them together this long. It’s fairly unprecedented

Also here for a WR. It’s going to be a choice between OBJ and Landry next off-season, and Jarvis will be the one sticking around barring some craziness.

DPJ is a great candidate to take a step forward and become the “1B” to Landry in 2022. But we need more.

Also, linebacker, obvs. Wouldn’t mind a running back who can catch the ball well,…[Read more]
