Contract length is madness.

Only this year @12m is guaranteed, so the rest is just noise really. He gets to say he's the highest paid TE in the league by APY, when really it's based on a contract he'll never play on.

Too much firepower to be accurate

With the offensive line banged up all season the Eagles weren't very good at the tush push, so it's not up for discussion to be banned this year. Seems the safety fears are directly linked to success rate

They're all so baldly self-serving. It's gross.

Award for highest paid non-QB now goes to Texans DE Will Anderson Jr. 3 year extension, $150 million, $134 million guaranteed.
Doesn't leave much for Stroud.

It makes me so enormously happy that Will is reaching his (incredibly high) potential.

Bengals trading number 10 for Dexter Lawrence tells you what teams think about the strength of this upcoming draft. He's a good player, one of the best DTs in the game, but in an ordinary year you aren't giving a pick that high up for a player like that.

The Bills have run it with almost the same level of success as the Eagles, yet voted to ban it last off-season. Go figure.

After his press conference was a car crash Vrabel is now off for counselling, which obviously he had to make public and do it so he misses Day 3 of the Draft after being caught shagging around. What the NFL should be doing is investigating him using that relationship to unsettle players.

In a massive shock to no-one the Raiders pick Mendoza first.

Will fit in with Kirk Cousins seamlessly with that load of god bothering nonsense.

Less hype about the draft than other years, I didn't even realise it was this week.

Decent pick for the Bears at #25

I’ve got some bad news for you about the general religiosity of NFL players…

You’ll be best off letting that stuff slide off your back, at least until it’s Harrison Butker shit, IMO. At that point the spirituality is clearly being aimed at others in a way that “thank God for this team/win/etc” isn’t, even if my own religious environment also hears that sort of thing and responds “God is probably not tilting sports outcomes like that”.

My Dad raised me to thank God for staying healthy, giving best effort, etc. The result was always wrapped up in Free Will in his theology, so to thank God for a win is, in his eyes, pretty arrogant.

*ahem*

I’m still fairly precious of this stuff for whatever reason, even if I don’t claim Lutheranism or Christianity anymore. Don’t mean anything here to come off as admonishing (well, the first line I wrote is, but playfully, I swear).

Oh I know!

He wasn't even that bad to be fair, but when your first line is effectively "praise God" you can be fired into the sun, because if he does exist he don't give two shits about the NFL.

Also good luck to him and god, when some 350lb defensive lineman smooshes him into the turf about three plays into his debut, due to the appalling o-line he'll likely be playing behind next season.

 

[Alan]

“That’s 350lbs of Divine Intervention coming at you, Tony.”

“So right, Jim. Moses himself would have been proud of the way the offensive line was parted on that sack.”

Invested in the line in in FA and I suspect them to address it in this draft a couple of times too.
