    The 2026 Draft Thread - 1st Round - 7th overall

    Yeah I definitely not a best player available by that standard. If we are set at Tackle I am usually going to pass at Tackle unless its like a Penai Sewell level prospect where they are so highly rated that I would consider bumping somebody like Conerly in. But more realistically I would just...

    The 2026 Draft Thread - 1st Round - 7th overall

    I absolutely think CC Mauigoa could be in the conversation for best player available if you consider him as a guard. As a Tackle, he is a very good prospect, but probably wouldn't be the BPA at 7. As a Guard, its not out of the question.

    The 2026 Draft Thread - 1st Round - 7th overall

    I would feel comfortable with any of these 7 guys as our picks: Reuben Bain, David Bailey, Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles, Caleb Downs, Carnell Tate, Jeremiah Love. To be honest I would be fine with CC Mauigoa (though drafting him as a Guard seems like luxury pick) and Makai Lemon too though I...

    The 2026 Draft Thread - Day 3

    Everything I have heard on podcasts about Antonio Williams is good. Realistically I think we would have to take him at 71 or pick up additional drafts picks between 71 and 5th round pick (which I think is pick 145 or 146) because I doubt he makes to that 5th round pick. That blurb says he has...

    Probably smart from Bain if he knew his arm measurements would generate a lot of buzz

    The 2026 Draft Thread - Day 3

    I get the concern. I don’t disagree with the broader philosophical point about not being sentimental. The old Washington absolutely kept guys around two years too long because of draft capital or “potential.” The good franchises—New England in their prime, Philly now—are ruthless about value and...

    The 2026 Draft Thread - Day 3

    Luke McCaffrey has shown me he’s worth a roster spot. He’s a good kick returner and was solid in his offensive reps this year. He put up 203 yards in eight games, which isn’t eye-popping, but it’s steady production in limited opportunities. Last year he was still more of a WR5 on a strong depth...

    The 2026 Draft Thread - 1st Round - 7th overall

    I watched four games of Caleb Banks — the 2024 matchups against Georgia and LSU, and the 2025 games against LSU and Tennessee. That’s four games against strong competition with plenty of current and future NFL talent across the line. Banks missed most of the 2025 season. The LSU 2025 game was...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I think Terry McLaurin will be back in 2027. His cap hit for 2027 will be 34 million, but if they release him 18 million would be dead money from his signing bonus (maybe they could divide that over two years---I can never remember the rules for how that works), so in reality the cost of...

    The 2026 Draft Thread - 1st Round - 7th overall

    Going back to who can beat tight man coverage on third and medium or fourth and short and who can create explosive plays and who can make the everydown plays: Everydown plays: I think all three can make the everydown plays but Lemon may be the best at it as he is best at forcing missed tackles...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    If the Giants are the most bet team to go over their win total, that may be a sign to bet the under. The side that the sportsbook have is probably a winner something like 53% of the time and the side that has the public money is a winner something like 47% of the time. Those numbers are...

    I prefer Bernard over Surratt, but I agree with your assessment of them. To me in the ideal scenario they are a number 3 receiver. You can get by with them as your number 2 receiver, but I think they project as low end number 2 receivers--guys who are good at the ordinary down to down stuff...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I think in the early summer they were far apart and neither side was ready to make any big concessions. Talks died down because there wasn't much too talk about. Only after training camp started and we got closer to the season did Terry's side back down and at that point the talks resumed...

    The 2026 Draft Thread - 1st Round - 7th overall

    I think I tend to me more patient than most on this board. I was disappointed by last year and I think AP made some mistakes, he could have got more 7 or 8 million dollar number 3 type receiver to add depth to the receiver room for example (brought back OZ or Dyami), but I didn't think he made...

    I like Brandon Coleman as a swing tackle in the role that Cornelius Lucas was for years. Chris Paul's reputation is that he strong and explosive but lacks lateral mobility. If he catch latch onto a player with two hands he has strong grip strength and can get displacement in the run and can...

    I watched teh Indiana and Miami games but wasn't studying Reese and without studying him, I don't know. I heard he was used as a spy more in the second half of the season from podcasts so that may have played a role. It might also be the nature of his role to some extent too. As an on the...

    I watched Lee Hunter against BYU in the Big 12 Championship. It probably wasn’t the ideal evaluation game since BYU’s offensive line isn’t loaded with NFL talent, but it was still useful. I realized I had some incorrect impressions of Hunter going in. For whatever reason, I had pictured him as a...

    Lets define the AVG role as a parttime off ball linebacker, parttime on ball linebacker. Obviously he could do the off ball linebacker part just fine as that is what he already does. Could he do the on ball stuff like set an edge against a Tackle and pass rush against a Tackle from the line...

    I watched Brennan Thompson against Ole Miss. His acceleration and top speed are elite. He is very dynamic vertically and can generate separation even when given a cushion. Once he gets even with defensive backs, he does a good job stacking them and showed strong ball-tracking ability on...

    The HC Dan Quinn Discussion Thread

    I am pretty happy with Dan Quinn right now. Don't blame him for last season. I didn't like moving on from Kliff Kingsbury. To me if its not broke don't fix it.
