6-10 might win the division 

Cowboys will win it at 8-8. They haven't blown any easy division games. They also get to play us!

Theres going to be a great WR available in round 2 of this draft. Gotta go DE or OL.

WRs you have the 2 Alabama guys, Ja'Mar Chase, Justyn Ross and then you still have guys like Tamarion Terry and Tylan Wallace. And I think Im probably forgetting more great ones.

If we are picking top 5 it wont be a a problem to land someone really good at WR there.

I dunno.  There are a lot of good COLLEGE quarterbacks.  Not sure how their games translate to the NFL unless their is a big change in what the professional quarterback is going to be.  To me it looks like there are a lot of young Brett Favre's just slinging the ball around with above average scrambling abilities.  Maybe the game is totally changing.  So many guys 6-1 or 6-2 maybe 225....Kind of like Jalen Hurts! ha 

FWIW, I love this kind of quarterback play.  It's always so exciting to see what they might do.  I miss the days of the triple option, veer option and Delaware Wing-T football.

I've watched the Cowboys this year. Cowboys are NOT good.  Team that I was concerned about improving was the Giants.  The Saquon Injury sort of led that . Gotta figure that whole group's going to get the boot. 

I really oppose all of the social justice messages on uniforms but I think Auburn knocked it out of the park.  I think one of their players actually designed it too.

It's tough with so many needs.  You don't pick in the top 10 or maybe top 5 very often so you HAVE to make the right pick.   Even if a stud LT is there, I'm giving Dillard the benefit of the doubt to get Carson a legitimate elite WR.

well if we are betting on Dillard one more year Im going DE because I dont think the 2nd round DE will be even close to comparable to the 2nd round WRs in this draft.

ANNOUNCEMENT I’m relocating to Philadelphia! That also means I’m leaving Tampa Bay and the Times. I’ll be staying on for a bit on a contract basis to help with the transition. I’m excited about what’s ahead. Say hello at thomasbassinger at gmail dot com. My DMs are open, too.

Maybe by only sweeping the division. They should really be 0-3 right now 

If we leave the 1st round with JaMarr Chase or Jaylen Waddle to pair with Reagor, I'd be a very happy man.

I'm not arguing with you but do you know of any DE right now worthy of top 5?  To me that's a Chase Young, Joey or NIck Bosa talent.  I haven't seen anything close to that in next years class.  I think Jaylen Waddle and Jamar Chase are elite.

Ok now I'm really hoping for a Win tomorrow night... Why ? SO we can stop talking the Draft in early October !!!

We should've done what I said and drafted Biadasz. We could've used him at guard. Instead he's the Cowboys starting Center.

No such thing as pro style QBs anymore,those days are over 

See 

Mayfield 

Mahomes

Murray

Etc 

I'll say it again,the next 2 drafts will produce close to 10 NFL starters.

I think Mahomes is a whole other class of quarterback.  He could be pro style if he had to be but he can do it all.

Mayfield and Murray haven't done enough to prove their style is going to be successful in the NFL yet.  I'm not doubting your statement, I just think we are watching a lot of guys who are better college quarterbacks than they will be NFL, even if they are starters.

Take Baker.  He won the Heisman the way he plays.  I'd say he's a middle of the pack NFL starter maybe less.  I don't see him climbing that ladder to be honest.  He was a much better college quarterback than he is NFL.

My point is none of the 3 played in pro style offenses 

 

Nfl is copying college football ,not the other way around

 

10 years ago mahomes wasnt on teams short list, wasnt pro ready,didnt play in pro style offense, gimmick offense etc etc

I want Waddle, not Chase.

Waddle is a rich man’s Ruggs who is a rich man’s Reagor.  Chase is a rich man’s Jefferson.

Get out of here. Nobody's buying that.

Tomorrow night would be a good time for whatever Jalen Hurts plays the offense has schemed up though.

While I still want an elite WR if the Eagles are drafting high there is going to be a dearth of talent at WR again.  If you see the highlights, he is a BLAZER....apparently he tore his ACL in the 3rd.

He had a non-contact knee injury today. Looked pretty bad.

Yea, just edited my post.  Looks like an ACL.  Perfect fit for the Eagles in round 2

I am so hyped to Talledega tomorrow!!!

Anyone else? I think theres a football game or something tomorrow as well...

Probably puts him on our radar.

Yeah....I don't think that's the word you were looking for there.
