Going to watch Texas A&M vs Clemson at half 8 @Dan?
Going to watch Texas A&M vs Clemson at half 8 @Dan?
Regardless of having lost a couple of picks, this really was nice work on the Raiders part.
Ohio state being a blowout is a shock.
Justin fields looks solid though. Hopefully he hangs around a few years. Easy to see why he was the #1 player in his year.
- Colts are a culture team with a good WR corps, no chance
- Browns have a track record of taking chances on a players with off-field issues, but considering they have OBJ & Landry (and Higgins) they don't need to gamble on him
- Miami are tanking & trying to build culture, so there's no way they'd take him.
- Houston shouldn't need him, but recent deals suggest nobody has a fucking clue what they're doing, so maybe they'll pay him $20m a year fully guaranteed
- Bills have already been shit on by AB, so they'd probably tell him to fuck off unless the fans could put him through a table as an apology. They could use him though
- Raiders
- Titans are a maybe, but I'm not sure this would actually work out for anyone. Also not convinced Vrabel would be interested in his shit.
- Dallas are broke & need to pay Cooper
- 49ers are just going to roll through all their guys relentlessly, so they don't really need to have a proper #1 guy
- Lions don't seem to be a great fit on a personality or scheme level
- Bears have Allen Robinson & Anthony Miller, and the problem there is Trubisky anyway
- Redskins won't want him as he isn't from Alabama, but they could probably use a decent WR
- Eagles would sign him for a bargain contract & trade him for a second round pick
- Bengals should probably just tank
So yeah, I guess it's Houston, Buffalo, Tennessee & Washington, with Cleveland, San Francisco & Cincy as long shots.
Plus obvious the Patriots.
Yeah, I wasn't big on him at Georgia as he basically just ran it every time he came in, but it's nice to see him in a system that actually works for him. The Fields/Lawrence battle could carry all the way through from high school to the 2021 draft at this rate, and we still might not be able to decide who's actually better.
EDIT: Michigan at #7 is a fucking joke. They're struggling against Army, and Shea Patterson is trash.
Ended up winning on 2OT because Army decided to pass the ball for about the fourth time all game & turned it over for the second of them.
In other news, Trevor Lawrence, Travis Etienne & Justyn Ross are good, and Kellen Mond is not.

Fuck sake I'd like to watch a good game of college football.
Kellen mond and A&M are seriously struggling. This Clemson team doesn't look as dynamic on offence either. Ettiene is going to be sweet as a catching RB in the NFL and is too good for college. But Clemson aren't making use of Lawrence and the wideouts thus far. Struggled last week too.
Have Michigan been good on offence at any point in the last few years? The defences have been great with gary, bush etc. But they've not had a decent QB as yet. Wilton speight anyone?
He's signed for New England....
Yep, fucking lol.
1 year deal, $15m, $9m bonus.
I didn't realise Drew Rosenhaus was actually God.
They have three good WRs too, they're just utterly miserable at QB, and this year their defence might not quite be good enough to make up the difference. They could easily lose four games this season (Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State & Ohio State), which really ought to see Harbaugh shown the door.
Unrelated, but I'm putting dibs on Anthony McFarland now. Not sure whether he'll come out this year or 2021, but the kid's a beast.
AB has planned it fairly well tbh.
Gotta love watching Texas waste two drives by repeatedly running Ehlinger at the goal-line & getting stuffed
3-0 LSU but Texas would've been leading, potentially by a lot, if they hadn't tried the literal most obvious play imaginable on fourth down twice. Wide open drop from the RB in the endzone didn't help either, to be fair.
EDIT: I knew LSU had another Fournette playing RB but I didn't realise his name was Lanard Imaginative parents, clearly.

Man, that LSU/Texas game was real good. Condensed version below if anyone wants to give it a look:
Ja'marr Chase (LSU sophomore) & Devin Duvernay (Texas senior) will have had their names circled in a lot of scouts' notebooks from this game, I'd wager.
That LSU freshman CB (Derek Stingley) looks promising too, but then he was the #1 CB in the class so I guess that would explain it.
The US channels are normally brutal for it anyway, but this is one of the most ‘clutching at straws’ things I’ve seen in a good while.
Nearly traded to Bills
They could have at least gone with ‘refused a trade to Buffalo’
Facing Bell is as bad. The only half interesting one on their whole list is the one he can’t play in anyway.
That Texas lsu game was amazing. Texas moving it down the field but totally pointless when you just can’t get close to stopping joe burrow. He was so good.
Hopefully Texas don’t drop out the top 10 for that. I’d rather them in the top ten that a Michigan team who struggled to beat army.
Browns.
Yeah I need game pass. Just cannot warm to watching redzone, would much rather get into a game.
I know he caught that pass but that rookie Titans receiver looks like he has the agility of the 67A bus.
He and DK Metcalf are basically the same guy. Bonkers fast and strong but with the turning circle of the moon.
Hill injured which is nice although it's not serious it seems.
thank you based Mahow
#TankForTua
we down 21-0 this dude doing the incomplete sign and talking shit to the guy who already is eating us alive like what
This Miami team getting smoked by Lamar passing and a fast rookie receiver is a bad omen.
Good luck in foxboro.
Miles jack wants a couple of weeks off clearly and to donate to charity.
Be interesting to know what he chiefs guys presumably said.
Boykin also getting involved now.
This is like when the US didn't make the World Cup so I could just watch football and not feel emotionally invested.
We deffo getting the #1 pick.
It's a bit full on for the early kick offs but the pace is a lot better for the 9pm games as there's usually only 3 or 4.
Been unmitigated shite from the Browns since the PAT went wide after about three minutes.
#ComebackSZN
Titans have gained more yards from Browns penalties than passing or rushing.
And yet he has 3 catches for 100 yards.
Also this:
Browns the new Jaguars.
Glad i drafted derrick Henry. Annoyed I didn't take sammy Watkins though. Think I took Adam humphries instead.
Sammy won't even have 50 yards for the next five games.
It might not last but Mayfield shitting it up is nice.
This is absolutely glorious.
The Browns being comically shite is even better when they thought they were going to come out and win by 50. I'm with Osi on Mayfield.
