It’s a business.  How is that petty or cheap?   It just makes sense.  Petty is organizing as a union to sit out "voluntary workouts” to get back at the owners for adding a game to the regular season.  

This 100%. A lot of these factories lose a lot of money when product is not shipping. It is only fair that a player (who picks their number) when they join the team has to pay if they wanna change it. AL Jalen Hurts. It sucks that people who bought his Jersey are now out of date. It is bloody stupid.

 

this is why I stopped buying Jerseys of current players unless something big happens - My last Jersey I bought when a player was on roster was my Nick Foles and Cox Jersey back in 14?

Just to point out if hurts winds up being very good if you have his rookie #2 jersey it is actually going to be more valuable because were less of them made and collectors would want the 2 for that reason.

That is a good point, can't ignore that fact.

I am not confident in where the team is. I'd like to make that clear. Having said that, I think some people are taking what was said today a little too seriously.

Most recent example i can come up with was mccoy when he wore 29. If you find one it’s usually more expensive than his 25 jersey. Ditto when barkley wore 32 for magic Johnson for a season.

The only thing I took away from today is that QB1 is not settled.  WR's will run routes that best fit their skillset and WR won't be drafted based on a predetermined size to fit a certain position.  

Also, Nick is keeping Philly cocaine dealers happy, has a big screen he points to in his office and would beat up his nephew to win Connect 4.

Nor is Nick wrong about RPS, Michael Jordan is infamous for wanting to win ANY game he plays - that's how highly competitive guys are wired.

Obviously, it's a joke on one level, but serious on another.

As far as Hurts competing for a job, that's more a message to the other players, Hurts is highly competitive and wouldn't expect anything else.

I mean Cox has to compete for his job . . . but anyone want to take a bet on whether he'll be benched?

On the other hand Barnett can't depend on being a 1st rd pick anymore . . .

Are we really going to pretend that Kelce, Brooks, Cox, Johnson and other vets are going to listen to a guy like Nick Siriani?   He has to make "competition” a core value?  This is the NFL.   He uses RPS as a test to see how competitive a guy is?   These are paid grown men.  This team has fallen so far, so fast.  What a f-Ing joke.   Howie jokes that we haven’t drafted Alabama guys because he went to Florida and then explained about his wife’s family is Bama fans?  Who gives a F?!?   These are the guys running a professional football franchise in a major market?   They have Weidl and Howie come out and blow the scouting department to make up for the recent stories of them discrediting the scouting department in past drafts.   And then go so far to make it seem like the scouts should commended for traveling and being paid nicely to watch football for a living? JFC.  Can this FO be any more transparent?  This is a clown show man, big time.  

When they bring Jason Peters in he's going to have to thumb wrestle Mailata if he wants the starting job back.

Never forget how petty and cheap the NFL is.

That is stupid.     But, did Hurts know this and does he have the cash to buy all the #2s?

Was hoping he and someone else would jump Bateman to make him (Bateman) a possibility at 37

I love Wentz but wouldn't it be funny if he had to buy all his old eagle's jerseys (I know it doesn't work like that)

I think the funniest thing about todays PC was Nick slapping his forearm so hard the camera shook.

I don't want Marshall anymore. Injuries? Shaky Hands? No Thanks at pick 37. Just pick a safer player. We have enough needs not to reach at WR.

Yeah for some reason,  I've never paid any attention to Griffin. Probably PAC-12 defense bias.

My recollection is he is a slanter not a back pedaling hip flipper when covering receivers.  That doesn’t translate to the NFL.

Trying to compare the WR class is difficult.  So many of them are in the same size/athletic testing range.    

* ages are when the season begins, not current.

 

Tier 2 borderline round 1/early round 2 WR.   

Rashod Bateman (age 21)                6'      190        4.39       10' 1" broad jump       36" vertical      6.95s 3 cone     4.35s shuttle

Elijah Moore (age 21)                        5'9"   178        4.32       10' broad jump            36" vertical      6.67s 3 cone    4s shuttle

Rondale Moore (age 21)                   5'7"   180        4.32       10'5" broad jump        42.5" vertical    6.68s 3 cone    4.41s shuttle

Terrace Marshall (age 21)                 6'2"    205       4.4         10'5" broad jump        39" vertical       

Kadarius Toney (age 22)                   5'11" 194        4.41        11'4" broad jump       41" vertical        6.88s 3 cone    4.23s shuttle

 

Tier 3 WR.  Could go late 2nd/early 3rd.

Dyami Brown (age 21)                      6'      189          4.45        10'6" broad jump       35.5" vertical    6.85s 3 cone    4.35s shuttle

Amari Rodgers (age 22)                   5'9"   212          4.52        10' broad jump          33" vertical        7.07s 3 cone    4.31s shuttle

Simi Fehoko (age 21)                        6'4"  222           4.44        10' broad jump          34.5" vertical     6.78s 3 cone    4.26s shuttle

D'Wayne Eskridge (age 24)              5'8"   190           4.4          10'3" broad jump      35" vertical         6.95s 3 cone    4.27s shuttle

How about this guy ?

But that's what most college CBs do.

This makes me wanna go to Sportsbook right now.  I'm always hesitant 1 week before the draft since so much can change between now and then, but some of these seem like layups.  Also, I think Farley still goes top 20.

Over/Under RBs drafted in the 1st round is at 0.5 right now.  Am I able to photocopy the deed to my house in the wager column?
