Well I was going to start my D selections off with Howard as a homer pick as well as a solid choice to build a D around. Sigh.

But now- I think anyone outside of the top 3 TEs is a complete crapshoot. There’s only one top TE left imo. I choose Zach Ertz.

And let’s get some protection. Also from the Eagles. Tackle Lane Johnson. Pro Bowler last two seasons. And dude is looking ripped. An OLineman with a 6 pack shouldn’t be a thing.

Team Cooler:
Mahomes
Saquon
Ertz
Lane Johnson

It’s called Roids, something he’s been caught for multiple times. But the eagles with and without lane, especially when he’s effective are night and day different.

These are all interesting ways of looking at it I like the rim protection analogy in particular. There is interchangeability also yes although Ive looked up in the past and the number of players who take significant snaps rushing from the interior and edge was smaller than I expected

I dont have data off teh top of my head regarding how teams with bad interior OL vs tackles do. That's something I could look up but it would take time type of thing best suited for the weekend

I agree with you also that study is probably a little more focused on results over process

We could one day hit the stage where teams have downsized so much that there is a shift towards more running but I dont think we're closed to there for several reasons. One very rough oversimplified general proxy to keep an eye on regarding this: the stat Ive seen is since 2005 teams average 5.6 ypc on the ground vs dime defenses and about 4.4 ypc vs nickel. If we get to the pt dime defenses start becoming more the trend that's when I can see running becoming more of a priority but for now everything in the NFL is still nickel based mostly

Rest of this round

sniped again nice

Trade for the commish to note at his leisure:

DodgerIrish has traded his 4th rd pick (#59) along with his 10th rd selection (#176) to

MagnumMike who has traded his 4th rd pick (#69) along with his 6th rd selection (#94)



DodgerIrish will make the selection at his allotted slot on behalf of MagnumMike.

I really don't want to do this and there's a guy I want right now but WWBBD

Magnum did well in that trade.

This is very good value you're getting

damnit, I'm tired as **** I woke up just for you all. Gonna go in a weird direction.

Jamal Adams, S New York Jets

updated the sheet with picks but not ages you all can do that **** I'm going back to sleep.

That's a fine pick and one of the guys I hoped would still be there where I now pick this round.

This pick goes out to magnummike and all the little mikeamaniacs out there, DodgerIrish (on behalf of MM) selects:

wow

Wut

Who wants my upcoming pick? DM me

Someone PM TJ?

Cousins was... Not the one QB I had in mind when I said I'd be comfortable with one guy after Cam.

TJ has been pm’d

I already had fwiw

So last pick was 10:23 EST. we giving TJ then until 1:30 EST to pick so like 1.5-2 hours left?

I'm here... I got sniped on Bradley Chubb, he was the guy I was hoping would fall back to me. People may not have noticed because Denver wasn't good last year, but he had a fantastic rookie season and is an impact player who is still improving.

Picking momentarily...

I'll take CB Marlon Humphrey.

2nd year player who had a strong rookie season. If there's one thing Saban is especially known for, it's coaching up DB's. He's a taller corner who can play press man with bigger receivers on the outside. I like him more than several of the CB's that recently went.

Team:

QB: Jared Goff
DE: Joey Bosa
WR: Keenan Allen
CB: Marlon Humphrey

So me and Nath had a trade lined up for my pick. But it's contingent on his guy still being there and he told me he will be at a meeting for like another 45 min.

I dont know who that guy is either so we are kind of stuck until then. If Humphrey was his guy and our trade is off I know who Ill take but hopefully that's not the case. So we'll just have to sit tight a little longer he should have the pick within half an hour I think.

V good pick. IMHO Humphrey>Chubb. Also FYI Humphrey is a 3rd year player

Big for us QB waiters
