The NFL Thread 2: 1. T Swift

Stoked that the Giants got what they got for Leonard Williams.

Dobbs to Vikings seems smart - would much rather have Dobbs over Brissett or anyone else out there. Guess this means we’ll see Kyler soon.

The third-round draft pick the 49ers trade to Washington is the special compensatory pick for losing Ran Carthon becoming Titans GM and DeMeco Ryans becoming Texans head coach, source says.

so if chase leaves and signs for big money in the offseason, they could get a … 3rd rounder in compensation…

dunno he was traded in august for a pick swap, traded again for a pick swap but was was asking more for brissett so. Dobbs has been on 7 teams now.

seems to be it for the trade deadline–just harder to make trades in the NFL unlike other sports with giant playbooks.

If washington was going that route of fire sale they should’ve sent some more people tho.

chase young is only getting 500k the rest of the year from the 9ers. Sweat is getting 5 million. It doesn’t matter but ya know it’s the little things sometimes.

Bears are totally going to pay 90% of the same money for Johnson on another CB in FA who’s only half as good in the offseason.

Yeah but Von Miller also benched 20 less reps and had a worse 10 yard split despite being 20 pounds lighter. No one cared about the shuttle because his 10 yard split was amazing and, for DE, shuttle is really just another measure of acceleration.

You also have to consider era. Back then scouts were focused on 3 cone as more important for corners and linebackers. No one said “but it’s over 7 seconds” because in 2008 there wasn’t even any consensus that number was meaningful at DE. It was generally something where they had to be above a certain minimum. Regardless Gholston has the 5th best 3 cone among DE in his draft class.

And the bar gets consistently raised. Showing a spider web graph about how his numbers compare to players who came out 14 and 15 years later doesn’t accurately capture how good it was at it’s time and how many combine watchers were surprised when he didn’t pan out.

I was super into this stuff from around 2005-2010, consumer everything that was available online about it and have clear memories. I still follow the draft process to a degree but less so nowadays than back then

Edit: This might be a better link to compare players than mockdraftable RASRAS Compare

Disappointed in no Wentz lolz.

RAS score is something they completely made up lmao. Throwing a bunch of stuff in equally is not how the game works but whatever.

just keeps getting better

before you say at least the bears will get a comp pick

Mainly posting this because of the thread name and because it will probably be to go to costume for unoriginal couples this year.

The bears are going nowhere and look like absolute ass for 5 of the 8 games this season so let’s trade valuable picks because we’re just one player away! Again.

Let’s trade more than teams who are trying to win the super bowl

I know the draft is weak at DE but people saying sweat is a stud are delusional, he’s a run defender and well better than what the bears have as a pass rusher but he’s just what slightly above average pass rusher but durable? his win% rate isn’t that good this season.

I’m okay with it but only because Mitt is holding the football like he’s never seen football before.

this is why some teams are better than others.

You are going to be so embarrassed when the bears finish 5-11

they’re definitely going to play a 5-11 packers team that last week

panthers/cardinals on the schedule still god damnit

Raiders fire Josh McDaniels and GM

well who could’ve possibly seen that coming when mcdaniels was hired

a 3-5 firing but in four days you’re up against the Giants then the Jets tho?

10m/year for 4 years guaranteed still on it LOL you’d think they’d have learned after paying gruden all the money

That’s not the haircut of a man who learns.
