OT: 2024 Washington Commanders thread: change we can believe in!

[Ridley Simon]

This whole thing scares me.

Vegas odds are just on which action goes either way. I haven’t found the number two overall pic on my betting apps yet I am definitely going to put in a play.

Please let me parlay the top 4

CW, JD, DM, MH2?

Man, I'll be shitting myself enough on draft night without having to worry ARI gets last minute jitters and flips w/ NE to ensure they get Li'l Marv.

I still think we’re going Maye and this is largely sound a fury, signifying nothing.

2OA, or not 2OA
that is the question

I have to think if they want either DM or JD, they're not moving off 2OA. Way too many other players that want to swoop in for one or both. They'll stick at 2 and make their choice, then we will all fight about it like the Hatfields and McCoys, or like HFBoards. Same thing.

I saw some rumour on twitter that said the pats will trade back from #3 if daniels isnt on the board. Definitely bullshit/smoke show but it was pretty funny to see. Almost like theyre trying to trick us into taking JD

I don't think what NE does or doesn't do below us means anything to us. The only team that would have an angle to make us react would be CHI.

It’s f’ing terrifying…..because we know the history here….its easy for us all to see them missing on this pick……hard….

Its not automatically a smoke show? Maybe they don't think DM is worth the 3 overall? That's not such a radical position, some people are high on him and others aren't. But as @ynotcaps says, it doesn't matter at all what they do. Only what Chicago does and all signs point to them taking CW, giving us the pick of the other two.

Rather that second 2nd rounder go to another OL position.

Why would they show their hand so early though? Makes no sense

Suamataia sounds like he's raw from a couple of different scouting reports, but hard to pan that pick not knowing who else was available. Kneeland sounds like he could be a monster, and Payton has serious medical questions, but he checks out, he's a really productive LB and could be really good.

And the 7th Rd Gus Frerotte Jr. pick is entertaining just for the nostalgia.

If it Belichick, they'd be sealed tighter than a duck's a**hole -- maybe the organizational pendulum has swung away from intel-agency-level secrecy.

 

[Bananas]

They need to be prepared to catch better players falling into R2, and not draft for need. There are going to be a lot of QBs, WRs and OL going in R1. There should be really good players at other positions available.

70% of Chiefs-Dolphins fans who got frostbite at playoff game now facing amputation

The damage is still being felt months after the game.

www.sbnation.com

"FOX4 in Kansas City reports that a staggering 70 percent of people who had to seek medical assistance for frostbite due to the game are now facing the reality of amputation. This includes one fan who removed his gloves for five minutes to put up a tent in the parking lot, and is now in the process of discussing whether or not his fingers need to be amputated."

Rather that second 2nd rounder go to another OL position.

That's how I feel about the 1st rounder

Trade down, get alt/fashanu, pick up another 2nd, use that on OL too.

Jesus... If it were me, "I only went to the game because the NFL put a playoff game behind a paywall for the first time ever. It's the principle of the thing, y'know? And now I'm losing 2 fingers. So yeah, I'm suing the NFL for $700 million."

I so look forward to lawsuits over this.

I chose to, voluntarily, attend an outdoor event in exceptionally dangerous conditions, and as a result of my own actions I got hurt.

Pay me!!

Its more likely the rumor you saw on Twitter is not coming from inside the Pats organization.

Welcome to America. Also, its really cold outside so I'm going to grab something metal without my gloves. Its all the NFL's fault.

I can’t help but feel that since they never give us a total number of people who required frostbite related assistance we are talking about 7 out of 10 people in total. Which sucks for those people but given the stadium holds almost 77k, statistically isn’t much. And I feel pretty confident that alcohol played a reasonable part in most, if not all of those unfortunate injuries.

So 70%? Wow, let me click on that article. 7 total people? Yeah that seems about right…

A few clicks gets more detail:

KC hospitals treat influx of patients with frostbite, warn of dangers during severe cold

Kansas City hospitals have taken in more patients than usual this time of year because of injuries due to the severe cold, as well as seasonal respiratory illnesses.

www.aol.com

Since last Tuesday, the University of Kansas Health System has seen 64 patients with weather-related problems. The hospital treated 11 cases of frostbite in the last week, sending 9 severe cases to the Burnett Burn Center. Two of its patients were found outside in the snow last week. One patient was treated and discharged, the other died.

After the Chiefs game Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium, 15 people were hospitalized, including seven for hypothermia and three for frostbite, according to the Kansas City Fire Department.

Fun with statistics and percentages. Watching the news TV video which was the source, the 70% statistic referred to all patients seen at the burn center, regardless of whether they were at the game or not.
