Agility drills? Where were going, we don't need agility.

Truck was nice, but he had 4 feet on either side of him in that hole.

My thought on basically every Fournette highlight that was shown last night. He certainly has a nice presence in the open field, but I'm not sure I ever saw him do anything incredibly impressive near the LOS. He hits the hole well, but definitely need to see what he does when the hole isn't there.

If Patrick Mahomes was there for the #Seahawks in late 1, they would have really, really considered it.

SEA knows Russ is a fraud.

well I just got an s8+.

I actually end up saving some money since I'm not on the new unlimted plan instead of the grandfathered one.

I listened to an interview with Greg Cosell of NFL Films and he believes that Deshaun Watson wants to be coached by O'Brien and would respond well to his coaching unlike someone else, plus he would come in into a good situation where Watson does not have to be THE Guy to make everything happen but rather let the running game do most of the work. Of course, those interceptions in his final year of college are a problem, but I guess BOB probably thinks they can work on those throws so he doesn't make those INT's again, I dunno. Regardless, it's not like Watson is going to hit the ground running because at this moment Tom Savage is the Week 1 starter and BOB will finally get to develop Watson until he's ready to start, whenever that is.

In the end, the draft is still a crapshoot and who knows what or how this pick will turn out. I'm happy that this organization decided to try hard again, but at the same time I'm really skeptical and cautious in both O'Brien and Rick Smith's same kind of statements like "this guy is a winner" exactly like last year until I see proven results because they gave up quite a bit to get Watson. It really feels like Houston really was in cahoots with Cleveland this whole offseason, haha...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's how the NBA does it. Target needs through the draft and then use free agency to supplement. It puts a greater emphasis on the draft.

Targeting needs through the draft leads to busts more often than not though. You use FA to get needs because you've seen that player's body of work in the league and can use them to fill short term holes. Then you go into the draft and can get BPA. I think there's already enough importance put on the draft

Plus that hurts the contracts players get in FA since teams that would be in on them can go for the cheaper rookie. NFLPA would never fly for that

Well at least they met the guy before hand and studied him. Bork just sort of just showed up.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if the Hawks draft a QB since the backup spot is wide open, but it was never going to be Mahomes unless he dropped to the third round or something.

I hear you guys needs a specialist who can throw a slant pattern.

Looks like another Super Bowl ring to me.

He was kindly letting the referee know that the hit on him was late. Also, it should be illegal to tackle the GOAT. Honestly, breathing on him should be assault.

Montana took worse and never bitched about it. Still the GOAT.

Only 4 rings though. Barely enough to qualify for greatest of his time. And he had the greatest WR (arguably the greatest player) bailing him out.

Tom has 20000 more yards. 200 more touchdowns. More wins. Joe... he was OK for his time. He's not really noteworthy any longer.

I'm at Walmart right now, should a Joyconboy​ buy MK8D to service himself?

Are my boys in here doing it or nah?

I picked it up today and some extra joycons for the family. Even the wife gets down with Mario Kart. Throwing blue shells and pissing everyone off is a family staple at our house.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
