He's very very large.

Also not particularly good at moving. But goddamn is that guy big.

Also sorry SA2K if you still like him, I remember you loved him as a rookie.

There's a few intriguing offensive linemen in free agency.


.. and so many needy teams that these guys will get big money to try and keep Sam Bradford upright.

There's a good list in the OP. Except Jason LaCanfora. gently caress that guy. He's beyond insufferable and almost always wrong.

I get irrationally annoyed every time LaCanfora tweets are treated as legitimate information on local sports radio. How frequently incorrect do these bozos have to be before losing the coveted "insider" moniker.

One of Schefter or Breer pointed out that 4 years in picks #6, 7, 9 and 11 are all cut already.

#3 is Dion Jordan, and the Jaguars are likely to let #2 Luke Joeckel leave and #12 DJ Hayden is also a mess and #16 was EJ Manuel.

So really the only teams happy in the top half of that first round are like the Lions with #5 Ezekial Ansah and the Jets with #13 Sheldon Richardson? and then a couple of the linemen and the Panthers are I guess okay with things considering the circumstances?

I mean, the Chiefs are pretty happy with Fisher, but he was in the impossible position of being an OT from a small school being the number 1 pick.

He's got quite the contract now. Glad we at least with him over Joeckel.

If you ignore that he's constantly injured and that he's a #MAGA rear end in a top hat, Tyler Eifert was a good choice.

I thought Fluker was supposed to be sort of good, or am I mixing him up with Lane Johnson or something?

What an insane loving whiff from the NFL scouting/draftnik community calling that a strong OL draft class.

Top half of the 2013 first round: Lane Johnson, Ezekiel Ansah, Sheldon Richardson, Star Lotulelei

Bottom half of the 2013 first round: Eric Reid (:rip:), Justin Pugh, Kyle Long, Tyler Eifert, Sharrif Floyd, Xavier Rhodes, DeAndre Hopkins, Alec Ogletree, Travis Frederick

Second half was good. First half was uh, well

... I mean, compared to everything else in that draft class, it is true.

But that's just because the good player pool is half the size of a normal year and the great player pool was extremely shallow.

I was joking about it because it's fun to take players from divisional rivals, but in all honesty not really. I would at the right price because he might be able to compete for the RT spot, and if not, he'd still be solid depth. But he might actually get a pay day based on his athleticism. I wouldn't want to get in a bidding war over him.

The funny part about the early 2013 draft is that Star Lotulelei was projected to go as early as 3rd overall pretty late into the draft process, and yet he tumbled down the draft board. Turns out that pretty much everyone who passed on him got some bum instead.

There were a ton of trades that year that went for way cheaper then usual right? Like the Dion Jordan trade?

I seem to remember that being a year where there was strong messaging that it was a weak draft.

For a million more, they could have placed a second-round tender on him. Gillislee is probably good enough to be a starting back so someone is going to pay the money and Buffalo will lose him and only receive a fifth-round pick as a consolation prize.

It's almost identical to the Chris Hogan thing from last offseason.

Yeah, tender costs are:

1st = $4m
2nd = $2.75m
Original round = $1.75m

If you think he might be snatched the difference between a 2nd and a 5th is worth more then $1m unless you're slammed up against the cap.

He did ban me several years ago when he misunderstood what I was saying regarding Chip Kelly coming to Cleveland being a done deal being reported on CLE radio live. I emailed him later on and he let me back. Seems like a fake tough guy though that wants people to think he deals coke or some poo poo.

Aw hunny, these came out GREAT!

Thoughts:

-gently caress off Brandon Flowers

-I feel bad for Stevie. He straight up lost his job to injury and both Inman and Williams passed him on the depth chart, and are both younger and cheaper. Hope Stevie latches on somewhere good.

-I absolutely love Fluker the person, but this was the right move. He simply hasn't lived up to his draft slot and frankly, he's not fast enough to play in today's NFL. He's half a step slow. Having him play four different positions over his four years here hasn't helped either.
