Check out Javonte Willliams. I think I like him better. 

I'd be happy with either of the UNC running backs.

    I turned 38 today and have lost 52lbs since February. I’m very rarely ever proud of myself, but I’m feeling pretty proud today and thought I’d share. Carry on.

  • At this point, I’d like to see a former HC on the staff, but the biggest coaching news left is whether Stout stays.  BOOOOOOOOM

People are so locked into his Position. Oh no Eagles CANT draft a TE at 6!!!  
 

What does it matter if you get 70-80 catches 1000-1200 yards and 6-10 TDs from a WR or TE?  Production is production period. 

Because we already had that in Ertz 2018/2019 and everyone cried that it’s no good and we need WRs. We still have both Ertz and Goedert. There’s no reason to get another TE even if we get rid of 1 of them. Using too much 12 has already proven it doesn’t work when you can’t stretch the field.

If JJAW is still on the team then you know it was a Howie pick and he still has control

I doubt that. More likely he's used as a WR/H-back hybrid and finds a role that suits his skill package, he is a good blocker and could be a mismatch against LBs and safeties.

What about the rumor that Lurie may have impacted the choice?

Key word in bold. 

Seams to be a lot of them going around in all different directions and topics.

Then we're in big trouble if the owner is picking players

I think it's more likely that it was Howie though

Can't wait until he's gone

Interesting point by someone around the Rams today about Goff and trading him, etc. You can always get around a contract in the salary cap.

Speaking of which. I take it Jason Peters will be officially retiring now Doug is out as HC?

Here's an article talking about Duce's 5 greatest accomplishments as a coach.  I think it's time for the media to stop with the Duce worship.  I've never seen an article stretch so much to list accomplishments.

5. Endearing himself to non-running backs

 

4. Getting through 2018 without a No. 1 back

 

3. Guiding Miles Sanders to quick start

 

2. Transforming LeSean McCoy into a star

 

1. Controlling egos in 2017

Controlling egos in 2017?? Blount was pissed he wasn’t utilized enough the first few weeks and he was right.

As a later round RB check out Michael Carter. More of a two way RB who can catch as well. Not an every down back but would be a great complement to Sanders and fit with the system.

The guy is a unique pass catching weapon. Gotta get past his position. 

Agreed.  I would rather draft him if Chase is off the board.  Him and Goedert both have the ability to line up off the line, and even on the outside.  Can then use a lot of motion pre snap and dictate coverage.

The Rams could actually save $12.4 million against the cap in 2021 by trading Goff. They remain on the hook for the $22.2 million in pro-rated bonuses but would remove the $43 million in guaranteed money.

The problem is not finding a team willing to pay Goff $28 million in 2021. The problem is that team being on the hook for $15.5 million in 2022. The Rams potentially going to have to surrender a high draft pick to convince a team to take that chance. It is possible, but trading Goff is not going to be easy for Les Snead and Sean McVay this offseason.

Peters already said he wants to play another year lol

It better not be with the Eagles though

I respect JP but it's time to move on already.

Sorry if it’s been posted already. 
 

But Daniel Jeremiah dropped his top 50 prospects, fresh new look of a top 50 with some new names also. 
 

here’s the link:

A TE at 3? Wow

Why'd Sewell drop to 10? Haven't heard Slater on here at all yet he's #6?

I want no part of anyone who will allow this team to continue using 12 personnel. I think we've seen quite enough of it over the past 2 years.

Many media analysts have said you can’t look at Pitts as strictly a TE, that he can be used in a variety of ways and is essentially a WR/TE mix. They compare him to Darren Waller usually. 
 

Also Daniel Jeremiah has been saying for months now he prefers Slater to Sewell, can’t remember exact reason. But I remember reading Slater handled Chase Young in a CFB game also

Thanks to seeing this guy's description, I'm going to start having proactive nightmares about this being the pick when we trade down in the first.  This has Howie's name written all over it:

Pac-10 - check

Washington - check

fastball - check

undersized - check

DT - check

23) Levi Onwuzurike, DT

School: Washington | Year: Senior (RS)

Onwuzurike is a slightly undersized defensive tackle who was highly destructive in every Washington game I studied.  Overall, Onwuzurike's pass rush production isn't special, but all of the tools are there to improve the results at the next level.

"Are we giving Wentz all the leverage"

Wentz has had all the leverage all along.  I feel sorry for anyone who thought otherwise.

Can someone please outline all the 'drama' being referenced in the first tweet?   I haven't seen any drama from Wentz.  I have heard a lot of unsubstantiated 'reports', 'speculations' and 'wild ramblings' from the media, though.

I like both too but prefer Williams especially on our team as he's a better compliment to Sanders

Whats your diagnosis?

Complement to Sanders??!!! Lol wtf are you talking about. This is scatback city baby we don't give a F about complementing our home run hitting RB. GTFO

Say what you want about workouts,  but the measurables of Chase, Smith, and Pitts will have a HUGE impact on the top 5-10 picks of the draft.
