No way the NFL lets their golden boys Lamar and Patrick lose in any playoff game for the next few years.
Yep. Staley wanted to retire but didn't want to over the team. Hope he gets a ring if they win the SB next year, even though he won't be on the 53.

As I mentioned before, Super Bowl is a separate en y to the NFL season like a preseason tournament with separate rules.
But I don't doubt we will keep dominating the loaded NFC Playoffs
nice move by SF to deal with Staley's retirement
raiders did what i wanted... wound up with 2 WR's and 2 CB's. loved the amik robertson pick late. still not liking Ruggs at 12 and Arnette at 19. Tanner Muse is easily their worst pick of the draft though![]()
You just massively contradicted yourself in one sentence tbh.
Cowboys getting excellent value on Day 3 too, this guy was rated as a 3rd round pick and comps to Michael Bennett
looking back on it, Cowboys just drafted the best WR prospect since ........Amari Cooper. Before him, OBJ. Before him, Hopkins.
Done some research and I guess it hadn't hit me how bad the younger WRs of the NFL are. 2016-2019 is pretty much devoid of great receiver talent, unless you count a couple mid and late rounders like Hill. I think Thomas was drafted in the 2nd round in 2016. But there hasn't really been a blue chip WR since Cooper and now the Cowboys have both Cooper and Lamb. Hot Damn!
getting trent williams for a 5th and future 3rd as opposed to laremy tunsil for 2 first round picks
this is true. WR had seen a pretty big lull in high end prospects for a few years... we had Corey Coleman and Corey Davis as the top WRs off the board in consecutive years.
it shall be said however, that even though last year only had 1 receiver in the first round (hollywood brown) the rookie class was actually outstanding.
DK Metcalf, Hollywood Brown, AJ Brown, Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, Diontae Johnson, Preston Williams, Mecole Hardman, Darius Slayton, and Hunter Renfrow all look like they'll stick around and produce, and that's not taking into account N'Keal Harry, JJ Arcega-Whiteside, Parris Campbell, Andy Isabella, and Hakeem Butler all disappointing (still early to write them off)
Dallas is a great landing spot for Lamb because the pressure isn't there for him to step in and be the go-to target. Like I've said in this thread, I thought Jeudy was the most pro-ready to step in day 1 and assume that role. Lamb can grow into that kind of player while not being the center of attention (Cooper, Zeke).
like people have said, Lamb comps more to D. Hopkins while Jeudy is more of a Stefon Diggs clone, especially when you watch him take dig routes for long distances; can't really go wrong with either one. Jeudy will likely produce more than Lamb in year 1 because the Broncos have less talent around him and they'll be playing from behind more often than not so there will be a lot of throwing for Denver, soft zone coverage, easy catches etc.
All those guys you listed from 2019 are unlikely to be generational stars though except for potentially Metcalf. The rest are good at what they do but they're not all around stars. Brown, McLaurin, and Hardman are all going to be upper-tier deep ball guys for awhile, Samuel is sort of a poor man's Michael Thomas, Renfrow could be the next Amendola, etc. Harry and Whiteside look like slow jump ball guys that will be out of the league sooner than later.
to be fair, Williams is 31, hasn't played football in a year, and has had chronic injury questions. When healthy he's a top 5 left tackle.
Also spurraider21, here's a nugget... take it for what it's worth:
https://nypost.com/2020/04/25/2020-n...-all-32-teams/
Dem Boyz kilt the draft. Coop, Gallup and Cee Dee will ensure Zeke doesn't face 7-8 in the box no more (like when he was at Ohio State). Dak got more weapons than North Korea.![]()
any list that doesnt have packers dead last is wrong by default. green bay was weapons away from competing (they were just in the NFC championship), and in the deepest WR draft in memory, they didnt take a single one. instead traded up for a QB, took a running back, linebacker, etc
i would agree that the cowboys had one of the better drafts. i think the cardinals and browns made out well. broncos went all-in on offense... interesting to see if Drew Lock pans out. i would also agree that the raiders didnt have a great draft. i criticized the first rounders. they attacked the right positions, imo took the wrong players. ruggs isnt a "consensus" reach, but i think it was a clear error. i didnt care for Lynn Bowden too much, and i think Tanner Muse was a waste of a pick.
its weird that they called John Simpson our best value pick. It's gotta be Amik Robertson by a wide margin. then again i dont usually go to the new york post for cutting edge football analysis.

Saints re-sign Taysom Hill for 2 years and signing Crab Legs tomorrow to a one year deal.
Good fit for Jameis imo
Yeah he will backup Brees allowing Taysom Hill to play multiple positions on offense and special teams. Unfortunately even if the roster improves each season, Brees gets older which is why they will again finish with 12-13 wins and lose a home playoff game because Brees will struggle passing it when it counts and they won’t run the ball to compensate his older age.
The Packers did get Funchess, for what it's worth.He was a beast in Carolina for a short period with Cam Newton. He's basically a poor man's Davante Adams in terms of skills and archetype, unfortunately, so he'll just be his backup I guess.
As far as the Broncos, I think they continue to ride the bottom of the division. With Drew Lock and that gnarly offensive line, it doesn't matter if they had prime randy moss, calvin johnson, julio jones and desean jackson all on the same team. They will struggle on offense.
So who does that leave the Patriots with, then? Newton? Lol at not taking a QB, I think Fromm can be a heck of a QB in the NFL, but we'll have to wait for Trash Allen's inevitable demise first.
Fromm is another Aaron Murray. He won’t amount to anything except a career backup.
He's a slow, tall, big receiver with a big catch radius. Which was important when your QB was (s)Cam Newton. Not much of a route runner or much awareness, but can win jump balls.
