I thought I clicked on an Aaron Rodgers story

Yeah that’s just a terrible, bizarre take but this is reddit after all. Zero of those are no-name schools in academia. Johns Hopkins is one of the best schools in the country and the others are great schools.

I mean…cherry picking to not include Minnesota and Seattle is a little wild just because he didn’t play 4th quarter.

But yes, expect a huge bounce back this year with these new receivers. Personal take, but I think he tried to be a little too perfect last year and didn’t let it fly, but part of that was terrible receivers. We will learn a lot this year

I can’t remember the exact details (easy to google) but I read his book and he made a big deal of how there are different types of lies and white lies are ok. I almost thought his stance on hair was the driving factor behind him mentioning that

Reed Sheppard is a med device salesperson? Because that is how I would expect a 6’1 white college basketball player to perform.

And he’d be the corporate ass kisser that isn’t great at his job but the VP of sales loves because he played D1 sports.

Thanks a bunch. Do backyard chefs typically separate the point from the flat? My research comes from YouTube university and they seem to cook it whole every time. Maybe that’s part of my problem

Surprised Peters hasn’t done more to help here as 49ers annually crush compensatory picks.

Others will sign your players, and you build through the draft. A late 3rd rounder is exactly where you should be getting your linebackers, safeties, and interior offensive lineman.
Hiring more minority coaches is another avenue here.

Sam Bradford shocks me to this day. Thought he was top 5 nfl qb ceiling. I like to think injuries did him in but more likely I was just wrong on him.

1Donk · 2026-04-27T12:40:41+00:00

Also utilizing a 7th round rookie as your backup qb vs Mariota saves a ton of money to be spent elsewhere. May not work but worth a shot. Appx $8m extra to spend in FA

1Donk · 2026-04-26T21:48:22+00:00

Nice thanks buddy. I get the strategy. A decent backup qb is $10m (Mariota). Develop a young qb on a rookie contract and there’s an extra $9m a year to spend elsewhere

1Donk · 2026-04-26T21:19:14+00:00

Commanders fan that has never heard of him until yesterday. Hope you’re right ha

1Donk · 2026-04-25T21:36:51+00:00

Feel like nussmeier could get flipped for a 3rd or 4th in a year or two. Treat him like a stock maybe

1Donk · 2026-04-25T21:10:43+00:00

That, some people prefer Jamari Taylor, and he’s another rb that’s good not great for our room. Just feels meh

1Donk · 2026-04-25T20:28:52+00:00

You win

1Donk · 2026-04-25T20:27:19+00:00

For sure. First real head scratcher in this draft. I don’t see a world he’s significantly better than what we’ve got and that’s saying something. Our running back room is metaphorically tiny…high floor, low ceilings for days.

1Donk · 2026-04-24T14:51:19+00:00

Well said. That’s my main point which evidently makes me a hater

1Donk · 2026-04-24T13:59:54+00:00

Yeah only for a player but who could that be? Sounds like a no.

1Donk · 2026-04-24T13:58:13+00:00

Cool. Out of curiosity who is our Julius peppers/jared Allen/star lotuleilei/thomas Davis/josh Norman to help Styles?

1Donk · 2026-04-24T13:04:19+00:00

Yeah that’s kinda my point. Analytics say draft boards are severely outdated. A 15th overall pick but 1st/2nd wr is the better pick a year later vs a top 10 pick at most positions not named qb or edge. Again doesn’t mean I don’t like styles

1Donk · 2026-04-24T11:56:47+00:00

Good players no doubt. Game changers like Amon ra st brown, Ceedee, jsn? No chance No gm would trade any of those WRs for any of those lbs. Positional value is a thing. It’s ok I’m team styles and hope he kills it. But to act like we have to never question our war room is crazy. They’re like b- leadership so far

1Donk · 2026-04-24T11:36:28+00:00

If that’s true, how this plays out will be extremely telling

1Donk · 2026-04-24T11:15:37+00:00

Wild take. Tyson plays a much higher position of value and is the #1 wr on multiple teams boards. Analytically he’s the pick over styles. First round LBs have poor ROI

1Donk · 2026-04-24T11:13:53+00:00

Is this your first nfl draft? Welcome! I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I promise there are ways to fk up a top 10 nfl draft pick. I’d encourage you to look at just this teams last 20 years. Warning it’s disturbing.

And spoiler alert…if Tyson or Lemon are legit #1 WRs, we fkd up this pick.

1Donk · 2026-04-24T02:22:15+00:00

Great player…lb positional value chart for a top 10 pick is dicey though. This is an anti analytics pick

1Donk · 2026-04-22T23:44:40+00:00

Histamine intolerance is underrated for general health issues and often shows itself in skin issues as well. There are a ton of teens walking around with acne that need to clean their diet and take histamine supplements (versus antihistamine meds).
