    BGO Blind Pig: The Calm (?) Before the Storm

    Great job guys. Chris was correct, I did like some of the nuggets dropped on that podcast. I’m also like most of you, I have been wavering in who I want them to take and who I think they will take. That’s left me pretty much excited to see any of the top guys come here and that’s a good thing...

    Heresy or Foresight? - The J.J. McCarthy Thread

    To me, McCarthy is the most intriguing QB prospect in this draft. His anticipated rise up the draft board seems genuine, unlike the noise last year around Levis. I heard Gary Danielson talk about how Harbaugh compared him to Andrew Luck at B1G media day before last season. So this isn’t trying...

    QB or not QB

    I’ve heard some former Raider players and radio hosts who like the Raiders say this. He does have an existing relationship with Pierce, so this makes sense. But that’s not how a draft works. That’s how free agency works. The Raiders won’t get Daniels unless they trade up. He’s not falling to...

    2024 - Way too early draft thread

    I’d love to use Daniel Jones as a great example of this, but that man plays like a pro bowler every time he sees this team. He’s a bum against everyone else though.

    QB or not QB

    As much as a rip off as that trade was, it led to the Rams not winning until they fired Fisher and reset with McVay in 2017. It just proves that no matter what picks you have, no matter how many players you pick, they have to be the right ones and you still need the coaches to put it together on...

    QB or not QB

    Most talking heads aren't that smart to find out that information. They just run with the narrative of "They didn't treat him like a king, so that's disrespecting him and not showing him the love he deserves".

    QB or not QB

    Yeah, I've hear that too. I've also heard that Peters did this in SF. So this isn't a unique event and any media member that cared about reporting the facts and not making a story should be able to easily find that out. What I also keep hearing from media people is that it's a problem because...

    Heresy or Foresight? - The J.J. McCarthy Thread

    If that’s what he wants to do, I’ll take a swap of first rounders and Herbert. Maybe the trade chart says more needs to be included, so I’ll take that too. But to get a proven QB and then still pick in the top 5 to take Alt, the rest of the draft won’t change and they can fill other holes. Yeah...

    QB or not QB

    I get your point and think it’s a great one. While we have preferences and we believe Peters has his guy as well, the development that comes after the draft is the most important thing. We believe these top QBs are close in talent while each having different strengths and weaknesses. So how will...

    Maye The Force Be With You - The Drake Maye Thread

    The Maye family roots run deep at UNC. His dad played QB in the 80s and his brothers both played basketball at UNC. His brother Luke was somewhat of a cult hero at UNC. He was also part of a national championship while he was there. Drake going to UNC and sticking with his family school when he...

    The Roadrunner - The Jayden Daniels Thread

    This is the type of info I come to the internet for.

    Special Edition BGO Blind Pig: 2024 Mock Draft w/Burgundy and Gold Knuckleheads

    As for the podcast, you all did a fabulous job. I also liked that the simulation threw you some curveballs and it wasn't just a slam dunk of easy picks to make. The reality is that when teams get in drafts, guys they really like are often taken before they get a chance to pick them. I also like...

    Special Edition BGO Blind Pig: 2024 Mock Draft w/Burgundy and Gold Knuckleheads

    That was a great point too. I would imagine that by this point, they know everything they can about these guys except what they are really like. Everything in this process is so scripted, guys are prepped for the exact questions they will ask, there is almost nothing that happens they aren’t...

    Random Commanders Thoughts

    First off, as Chris said, it’s silly season. 1 week before the draft, all the crazy stories are going to come out now. Secondly, it’s his agent and not Daniels himself, so I’ll wait for Daniels to say something before I get worked up. Thirdly, I have considered that maybe Daniels doesn’t feel...

    Random Commanders Thoughts

    Do we have any context on that? I’m curious what is being said other than that one cryptic tweet.
