What would you suggest?
Judge them purely by their body of work in college. There's a ton of footage for basically everyone in today's digital world.
I don't think there's much information to be gleaned from 40 times and QBs throwing to wide open WRs running routes.

You shut your mouth.

For the most part, tape is what they rely on. Very rarely does someone really move that much based on combine alone (other than the media’s opinion). The meetings with players are one of the more important aspects of the combine.

Someone should've told Ray Farmer that before drafting Justin Gilbert & Johnny Manziel
miami is apparently only going to play offense, letting wilkins walk, cutting xavien howard and jerome baker. they are still 16million over the cap and haven't signed tua to what i'm sure will be 45+ million per year and further wrecking this cap situation. Thank god Waddle needs signed next year, when i'm sure they will cut chubb and take on another 18 million in dead cap, and tyreek, ramsey, and armstead combine for 75 million in salary (without restructuring)
i predict they will draft OL or maybe a wilkins replacement DL in the first. but i wouldn't rule out something truly fubar like another RB or CB, or some position that is flashy, but won't improve the chances of winning. somehow this team hedged its future on winning this year without having a real plan in place on what they were going to do in order to win.
probably looking at a rough 2 -3 year stretch here, then a full reboot when whatever contract Tua signs has like 2 years left. at least we scored 70 on denver this year...
Wonder how much longer Travis Kelce wants to keep playing when he can retire off into the sunset with TSwift and do literally anything with Jason and get paid a lot for it.

If I were him I'd probably go for a 3-peat and retire after this season regardless of what happens.
Russell Wilson to meet with Pittsburgh regarding joining the Steelers.
A little off topic but when this news about Wilson meeting with Pittsburgh broke, a Yinzer fan called in to Sirius XM and was asking questions about potentially signing him. Then, the fan proceeds to ask something to the effect of "did you guys see anyone that would be good for the Steelers at the NFL "Columbine'?" They just write their own stereotype...
I have minimal interest in Wilson.
But I’d take him on the cheap.

I know Pittsburgh has a better defense but are the offensive weapons really an upgrade over Denver's?
thank god we signed jonnu smith. clearly the reason KC ran through miami in the first round was because we didn't have him in an offense that doesn't use the TE worth a shit.

Ehhh not really. A push at best.

That's kind of what I thought with Pittsburgh maybe having a worse O-Line and Russ isn't as mobile as he once was.
I like Russ for he’s hanging on for another chance to prove himself….at worst he’s great competition for Pickett
What would be interesting would be the Wilson/Tomlin dynamic. Tomlin seems kind of straight forward and Russ is a full on diva, which they already have in Pickens.
Let's see...
Russ at Denver. List of headlines for things he did really well. Very, very short. List of headlines for either him fucking up on the field OR being a weird goof whose sort of faux-motivational shit would get super-old super-quickly. Almost never-ending.
I'd rather not. Seems like a recipe for not just tanking, but doing so in a way that's really hilarious for fans of rival teams.
If they can't somehow get Fields, which I had predicted a while back, I wouldn't think Russ would be a horrible option versus what they have. I'd rather have Bernie from "Weekend at Bernie's" back there over Pickett if I were a Pittsburgh fan. That dude is historically bad.
Browns trade for Jerry Jeudy. Was kinda hoping the Jets would make a play for him.

This one's a "meh" for me. I see this kind of like you saw the Elijah Moore trade last year (not a big loss for the Jets and not a big gain by the Browns), in getting rid of him. Low risk on the compensation the Browns gave but Jeudy is a perennial underachiever.
With this, I believe the Browns only have 3 picks in the draft. Rumors swirling they are looking to recoup some draft capital by trading Greg Newsome & Wyatt Teller.
They still have 2,3,5,6,7. I like the trade.
