Ornery and Hornery posted:How has Strange looked? Is he bad? Do the pats have a decent OL coach since Scar retired? He was very bad the first half of the season, got benched for a little bit, played better as the season progressed, but still nothing special so far. OL coach last year was.... Matt Patricia and they replaced him with Adrian Klemm, former OL guy who was coaching at Oregon.

Ornery and Hornery posted:Positional relative value doesn’t really matter when most of the defensive players suck regardless of position. Well yea, this is my point. Positional value doesn’t exist in a vacuum so saying “a good CB is more valuable than a good ILB” doesn’t really make sense as a general statement. It’s probably fair to say that finding a serviceable ILB is easier than finding a serviceable CB but that doesn’t imply that it’s bad to draft ILBs high.

do any of those "draft capital" charts take trades for players into consideration, like do the Rams get a bonus for picking up Ramsey and Stafford and winning a Superbowl or do those picks not count cause they didn’t take rookies

Even Eagles fans can't appreciate him for the Super Bowl he handed them because now he's infected their team. And also he's a massive piece of poo poo in multiple ways.

I don't get it are you saying that there's no one worth drafting to stop the run or the Seahawks just didn't go after them?

Just use all your draft picks on Hall of Famers every single year and you'll eventually win a few Super Bowls, I don't see what's that hard about this "drafting" thing.

I love- just flat out adore - the fact that all the sudden the Bengals have a stacked linebacker room after drat near a decade of it being a problem. ADG would be a perfectly serviceable starting linebacker but he has to hope for injuries to see the field. The 2020 draft class was so goddamn good.

The way I see it the league views starting caliber utility Free Safeties and take away the middle of the field ball coverage free safeties as very different commodities.

Counterpoint teams pass on talent we can all see and then they turn out awesome. Like drafting CEH over Tee Higgins which I'll never stop bitching about

It seems like all the premiere pass rushers go in the like 8 to 15 range. Micah JJ TJ Aaron Donald etc etc etc. Seems like if you're one of the best dudes a dozen or so teams are going to find a reason not to draft you.

Said it before I'll say it again. Teams should have to save their draft boards and release them to the public 10 years later. It's not going to give away any sort of competitive advantage but it would be hilarious to see where every franchise rated Jimmy Clausen or Tim Tebow or whatever.

There’s clearly an information gap and it’s made worse bc teams intentionally lie to a lot of media types to manipulate it. And that information gap causes lots of bad feelings is definitely accurate as well. I would love to see what additional info teams have and how they weight it tho. They’ll never share it but that’d be super interesting

I watched the three cone drill live and commented how much I hated it too but then the internet tried to blame it on a slip which, horseshit, his 3 cone was bad before and after that tiny non-slip Turns out you don't need to run a three cone when you're a loving MOOSE going full speed down the sideline haha we took Mecole Hardman over that goddam centaur
