Feels like a good time to remember that PFF hated their best pick in 2022 as part of that grade. It’s weird that they loved that draft because their analysts were not fans of the trade up for Davis. Both Sam and Steve spent the weeks before the draft talking about how you shouldn’t spend a 1 on Davis when you could get Travis Jones a round or two later. Hell, most of that grade was probably Nakobe Dean.

*Edit* Or they included AJB. Not sure how their grades work in this case.

Idk if that was when Renner left or if Steve and Sam had input on the overall grade. But Steve absolutely loved acquiring the "force multiplier" and definitely included that in his overall draft impressions for the Eagles that year. Also, to stoke the flames.

Ooh, we get to see Boston Scott and McCaffrey go head to head twice a year now.

Can’t wait.

Ferentz said they were going to play DeJean on offense this year if he returned.

I heard he was going to kick field goals AND long-snap at the same time.

We got white Deion.

AND long-snap at the same time.

I read a good piece on long snappers yesterday. It's way harder to find one than I thought it would be and it's not the snapping at all. I always forget that CFB has a rule where you can't touch the long snapper for 1 second, so these guys don't actually practice or have experience with NFL rules where someone is immediately going to put you on your ass, nor do they have to identify who to block since they get a free release. What a weird situation.

Another popular and long-standing mover on draft day might be Eagles GM Howie Roseman, who seems to move up, down and all around each year. Our window doesn't include the recent moves up for wide receiver DeVonta Smith or defensive tackle Jordan Davis or Jalen Carter, but if we exclude Chip Kelly's year in charge in 2015, Roseman's eight other trades up from 2011 to 2019 produced ... 0.1 AV. He successfully moved up for defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, tight end Dallas Goedert and offensive tackle Jordan Mailata, but the jumps for tackle Andre Dillard and quarterback Matt Barkley were less successful. AV also rates the Carson Wentz trade as a negative, given how much it cost and how often he battled injuries in Philadelphia.

Jojo reading long snapper articles instead of draft trade articles. SMH my head

Shedeur Sanders at +100 (or 300) to go 1OA is a worse bet than the Flyers +5000 preseason to win the Cup thing was. Good lord. At least that had a payoff for taking a huge dog and tying your money up for months on end.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I don’t even think Sanders is a 1OA type of talent so him & his dad are definitely going to negatively effect his draft stock & he’s not the type of talent to transcend that.

Yeah, seems absolutely wild that he was +100, and now +300, the be 1OA

We JUST heard about Rattler getting dinged for being a douche in high school.

I’m pretty hopeful that Colorado will be miserable.

They're only favored by 8.5 at Home to open the year against an FCS team. Granted NDSU went to the Championship game last year, but NDSU was a 14 point underdog in that game on a neutral field.....

Not a Washington fan at all, but this was pretty cool - and Darrell Green has always been a classy person on and off the field:
