Winter is coming, motherfuckers.

Didn't already arrive with those zombie motherfuckers?

 

[Slo]

Serious question, would you trade a high 3rd for Bradford?

If you can weight until Tony Romo gets hurt this year, you might get a 5th out of Dallas.

It's coming for more motherfuckers.

 

[squicken]

I kinda wonder how the fates of Myles Jack and Jaylon Smith will impact future NCAA players. If I was advising a player, who had established himself as a first round pick, and was draft eligible, I'd tell him to stop playing. November? Right before the bowl game? Doesn't matter. Too much to lose

Smith would have been a top 15 pick and now may not get drafted. Jack is a total wildcard b/c his injury is also complicated.

Is it coming for all the motherfuckers?

 

[Jarnet87]

Yes, b/c he has a short deal and Philly is on the hook for $11m of his salary this year. Jets and Broncos would be the obvious teams. Those teams aren't rolling out week one with Geno and Sanchez as starters

You're part of the problem, wanting to keep these shit quarterbacks around. Sam Bradford is garbage. He should be out of the league. Sanchez is equally garbage but I would rather play him to manage a game with that Broncos D. I think the Jets will get a deal done with Fitzpatrick. If the Jets aren't gonna bother resigning Fitz you think they would waste a quality draft pick for Bradford. May as well throw Geno out there and guarantee that top 5 pick for 2017.

You are entitled to your opinion, of course. But 2015 was a pretty clear demonstration of the vast difference between Bradford and Sanchez. The Eagles players gave up when Sanchez played. Sanchez's Jets teammates didn't think much of him, either. So I really doubt that Elway would go that direction, or the Hoyer direction for that matter

If you think Bradford and buttfumble are even remotely close then you mist be a crazy person.

Why would the Eagles want to when they already paid his 11m?

They have picks in the 3rd, 5th, and 6th rounds. Find depth there for the Oline.

I'm not sold on the trade but I also don't agree that depth or starters can only be found in the 1st round.

It's complicated, because that player also feels beholden to his teammate, coach, friends, and university.

Even with millions of dollars at stake, honor and commitment mean something.

I believe he has a 5 million dollar insurance policy in case this happened. He is going to be miserable

You are correct. He does.

Might sit through the GoT premiere though pretty much sat out last season with only notes here and there.

 

[Jarnet87]

If you think Bradford and buttfumble are even remotely close then you mist be a crazy person.

their stats are pretty similar, and Sanchez played surprisingly well in his playoff games. Plus he's got the durability edge. I made the point of saying they are both garbage, but If I'm stuck with one I would take Sanchez. I would rather give any QB in this draft class the starting job over those two.

Last year both guys played in the same offense and they were not even close. Buttfumble was the 2nd worst QB in the nfl, behind only Foles. Bradford started slow but had a great second half. No team in the league would pick buttfumble if they could have either one.

Sanchez is shit who can't throw a ball accurately further than 10-15 yards.

This isn't even a debate, Bradford is the much better QB.

Fuck all that. If a mod wants to move this thread into OT, so be it. Otherwise, leave it alone.

Also Matt Miller finished his NFL Draft 400 series where he ranks all the draftees by position but its in slideshow format....

NFL Draft 2016 OT: Fuck this I dont want to die!

Game of Thrones used to be in the top caliber of shows but took a catastrophic dive last season, culminating in...a god damn sweep of the Emmys?

True Detective Season 1 was the best thing HBO has done in the past decade though.

POSITIVES

Tyler Higbee began his career at wide receiver but quickly outgrew the position. Fortunately for NFL teams, he still runs like a wideout while having the frame to box out defenders.

The time spent snagging passes at receiver paid off for Higbee. He is an excellent hands catcher all over the field, making plays both in traffic and in space. The ball comes to his hands naturally, and Higbee does a good job securing the ball to get upfield.

With top-tier size and agility, Higbee can separate on 10- to 15-yard routes with ease. He's a nightmare matched up against NCAA linebackers who aren't able to balance power and speed in coverage. He has a strong upper body and hands that do well in congestion both before and after the catch.

When getting into his routes, Higbee shows the burst you want in a top-tier tight end. He'll chew up yardage and press defensive backs off his route with his straight-line speed. He's a smart route-runner who times his steps and turns to meet the ball. He'll bail out his quarterback with a big catch radius in traffic

*Editors Note*: After publish, Tyler Higbee was arrested and charged with second-degree assault, alcohol intoxication in a public place and second-degree fleeing or evading police after a bar fight incident. He will be pleading not guilty for reasons of self defense.

Pro Comparison: Greg Olsen, Carolina Panthers

FINAL GRADE: 6.40/9.00 (Round 2-3—Future Starter)

Such a damn shame he got fucked up and started screaming "ISIS dees nuts" to someone. Dat pro comparison!

Can we just move this existing thread to the OT for the 1st round of the draft, and then move it back here afterwards?

I can ask the rest of the mods about it, but traditionally "major events" get their own threads so I doubt we can do a temp move. It's why the Super Bowl, major tournaments, and other league finals get to be able to go in OT separately. I recall Evilore mentioning something like that when he was wondering why there wasn't a SB thread in OT a couple years back as opposed to staying in Community.

I'm just not a fan of splitting up the discussion between two threads. Maybe we can close this existing thread for just the 1st round of the Draft, just so everyone is in one place?

[Line_HTX]

Close this place for 1st Round only? Sure, since most of the attention is on that. The 1st Round has it's own night right? So it shouldn't take that long.

Smith would have been a top 15 pick and now may not get drafted. Jack is a total wildcard b/c his injury is also complicated.

Jack's injury was unfortunate and occurred early in the season. IMO he should be ready by start of season but teams/owners wants answers now. His contract is gonna be an incentives type.
