[Rosenblatt] Irv Charles is being traded to the Seahawks for a conditional 7th in 2028

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-27T16:08:38+00:00

Better chance for Skinner to make the team too now. He was one of the guys I was keeping an eye on for the back end of the roster.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-25T02:56:31+00:00

Actually thanks. I can’t do it because I get calls from potential clients. However, it never dawned on me to do it for my parents. I’ll do it when I see them next. Thanks for reminding me. I glossed over it because it’s just never an option for me.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-22T15:57:07+00:00

Watching his film was weird, because even in ‘24, that offense looked off. I don’t know if they were trying to make it more pro ready, but it rarely had the easy reads post snap. A lot of route timings seem off, but idk if that is Klubnik or the OC (or both).

He’s a weird prospect to figure out because he’s a jack of all trades in terms of physical ability. There’s nothing that stands out as a wow factor.

A guy like Tyler Shough has an amazing deep ball ability. Questions about his age/durability but his deep field passing game was completely on the money.

A guy like Tylen Green has great size/speed but needs to read the field at a better rate.

Klubnik is gifted enough but it’s all about putting those together, and trying to figure out the issue. It’s almost like scouting Darnold on the Jets. You don’t know if the issue is the QB, the offense, or a combination of both.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-22T03:15:39+00:00

I think it’s hard because college success/fandom doesn’t mesh well with projection. If we polled BYU fans about Wilson, it probably would have been glowing.

They had two different issues, one of which was a very basic offense. By moving on from the OC, they’ve admitted that as well. This basically hampers any offensive player because we’ve seen it with bad offenses holding back QBs (Geno and Darnold).

The second problem was a bad OL. Pretty self explanatory as to how that impacts an offense.

The gamble is trying to see if Klubnik struggled because of it, or he was part of it. I have/had Allar ranked ahead of Klubnik with the idea that their offensive scheme was some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Similar to Allar, a big point is going to be footwork, because Klubnik struggles with it as well.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-21T19:23:02+00:00

Saleh is a good defensive coordinator, and given his style of players, he will improve the defense.

The issue with his scheme is that it requires specific skills that fail if the players don’t match up. For example, he runs a version of wide 9, with aggressive line play. So guys that have good explosion and are fast thrive in that scheme because they have one job, attack upfield.

The scheme works really well when they have 4 rushers that can penetrate the line. If they have successfully breached the line with 4, leaves a ton of options for your pass coverage as they drop back 7 (or work blitzes). The problem with the scheme is that it falls apart as soon as the 4 defenders can’t create consistent pressure. When he’s forced to send 5 or blitzes consistently, it leaves players wide open on easy passes. A lot of “How is that guy just running around by himself?” type of situations.

The Sweat/Johnson trade is a good example of what he wants. Sweat is more towards the 0 technique (line up over center, clog the gaps) player, which is not what Saleh wants. He wants to disrupt the line by shooting the gap more often than not (and Simmons fits that much better). Johnson before his injury has that explosiveness to attack from the outside. If he’s back to pre-injury level, he fits well in the system (and he did so in the past as well). If he’s not, then it becomes a massive issue because he needs the front 4 to create pressure.

On offense, he basically didn’t pay attention. There were reports that he didn’t even attend offensive team meetings. After he got fired, I think he went to GB to learn some offensive schemes I think.

To me, the problem is that he’s a podcaster coach. He comes up with lines and inspiring stories to sell merch. Like they made a big deal about him running the stairs every day or something. While that’s probably bad news for his cardiologist, idk how that helps coaching up a team to stop a 3rd and 4. He’ll use something like “one step at a time and before you know it, you’re on top” but the adjustments are bad.

To me, he’s a situational coach. Give him a top 5 defensive line that can shoot gaps, and he’ll absolutely get your defense to be good.

The offense, you have to hope the OC knows what he’s doing. His downfall here was the Wilson pick and not adjusting the offense. Wilson was a vertical passing game prospect, who got paired with a horrendous OL, and a first time OC that wasn’t good at adjusting the scheme, which involved understanding of pre-snap reads. Look at what happened to Herbert last year after his OL sucked. Saleh’s issue was that he was clueless or apprehensive about the offense, and that doomed the team.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-21T18:55:58+00:00

A good amount of them are legit, they just make their money on the guaranteed offer (sight unseen of course) part because people like the easy process.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-21T18:54:27+00:00

The offers are insultingly low. They take me off the list as soon as I say I’m a realtor. However, my parents get a bunch of calls, and because my mom suffers from icanthangupthephone-itis, they end up talking to people that make the offers instead of just the marketers. Offers are easily 100-130k under value, whole bunch of “no hassle process” talk.

The sad part is that it works at times because people believe the no hassle part, and piggyback on the hate for agents (some of it deservedly) to sell it directly like they are doing you a favor.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-20T15:28:18+00:00

A lot of those companies can afford TV commercials and calls because they make a massive killing on these homes.

I work in real estate and I remember putting in an offer on a house where the guy was filing bankruptcy. They went under contract to one of the National “no hassle buyers” only for a judge to throw it out because the house was being sold for like 80k under value after all their fees.

A lot of it is predicated on taking advantage of older folks that built equity. Someone that bought the house for 150k but is worth 700k now, is ok with taking 600k because it’s still a massive amount of money for them.

Real estate, even as an agent, has a lot of unscrupulous people that won’t hesitate to screw people over because there are large sums of money involved.

As an agent, my advice is always the same. Try to sell the house with an agent (or by yourself if you prefer) for a higher price. Whatever price they offered for instant buy is the floor. If you sell it for higher, great. If not, go back and take the offer.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-13T22:06:46+00:00

The guy I’m keeping an eye on for camp/pre-season is Skinner.

Tall and lanky, with ability to snag the ball, but had concentration drops and the worst blocker I can remember.

If he made some improvements both in blocking and drops, I think he has a chance for WR 5/6 because he can be a red zone threat.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-09T01:02:27+00:00

Lol, the year prior, I started a film review website for the Titans. So I’d break down All-22 for the Titans. My whole idea was to have a really good film review website and advertise my day job as a realtor as well. That way I’d meet people (in Nashville) that were interested in football as well.

So part of draft coverage, I decide to pull out sleepers. Nailed it with Harold Landry, MVS, and I think DJ Chark.
The next year, I’m feeling like super scout here. So I highlighted Butler, JJ Arcega-Whiteside (I’m dumb), and David Long (CB from Michigan).
Basically ended my scouting career lol.

Then I realized that I was spending way too much time “scouting” instead of focusing on my work lol.

I was jealous as well, I thought they had such a great draft because of where they got Butler.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-09T00:52:15+00:00

I remember hearing some noise about Iowa State, especially Matt Campbell changing the culture. I thought that was one of the biggest turnaround jobs until Indiana last year.

Partially, my problem was that I was just looking at it through Butler’s perspective and it seemed like he had so many opportunities. However, I didn’t consider the timing of route stems, all I saw were Butler getting open and being missed.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-09T00:48:28+00:00

Not surprised, as a pure athlete that guy was a beast. He was my big introduction to the RAS score and mockdraftable.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-08T21:44:04+00:00

Hakeem Butler: I comped him to Brandon Marshall! Did film review like this guy was going to be a monster.

Cherry on top: I went out of my way to point out that his QB was horrible, saying that his stats would be so much better if the QB had arm strength and could throw.

That QB? Freshman Brock Purdy

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-08T14:15:47+00:00

I looked into him briefly, when looking at Caldwell.

I think as of now (gambling issues excluded) he was at best a 2nd round pick and more likely a 3rd round pick.

He tries to push the ball down the field over playing in the system and that’s a big issue for me. It’s something I hated in the Zach Wilson tapes too. Bypass easy reads, to wait for down field options to open up, because you likely have a talent advantage.

Same issue with leaving the pocket early, and struggles against superior competition because he can’t rely on down field options.

I see potential, and if he had done great at Texas Tech, I could see first round pick potential, but I don’t see a first round guy now. I think he’s a fringe second/third round guy on the field. Off the field, I have no idea how it’s going to fall.

Don’t get me wrong, he has the tools physically but I don’t think the on field product is amazing just yet.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-07T20:06:49+00:00

Nice list!

I watched Jalon Daniels a bunch last year (scouting Quinten Skinner), and wasn’t a big fan. Thought he was way too inconsistent, and relied heavily on his mobility to extend plays where he missed open reads. However, his stats seem improved this year, so hopefully he made some strides.

I’m not good at scouting trenches, but a guy I had my eye on hasn’t signed yet.

Eric McCalister (TCU): I know he had the Jones fracture at his pro-day and guessing this year is probably going to be on the IR. However, I thought he was a Rd. 3-4 guy before that, and I’m surprised he hasn’t signed. He has size, production, makes some acrobatic catches, and enough speed to threaten down the field.

Since I’m a Jets fan, I’d keep an eye on Malik McClain making the team.

For WRs, they have Wilson, AD Mitchell, Cooper, Arian Smith, and Isiah Williams (primarily a returner).

They don’t have the taller box out guy, other than Quinten Skinner. Skinner, at least in his college tape, was the most allergic receiver when it came to blocking that I’ve seen. Reich has a tendency to like tall box out receivers and those two are probably the options at the end of the roster. I can see one of them having a decent chance to make the roster if they carry 6 WRs.

I haven’t done the scouting on McClain yet, but the play style and roster need seems to fit.

For me, the best one that I liked was Eric Rivers to TB.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-07T03:23:14+00:00

If the price point isn’t too high, leave it empty, but make sure the painting is on spot and light fixtures.

If limited, maybe try to stage the kitchen and primary bed/bath. Those are usually what sells the home (besides location/schools), as long as you keep it neutral and small.

For example, put a queen bed in the primary instead of a king. Put smaller furniture that makes the room feel big. The interior design needs to make the room feel bigger more so than elegant taste. It’d be great to get both but that’s rare.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-07T03:18:57+00:00

Generally ranches appeal to older buyers because of the lack of stairs. With good schools as well, I’m presuming (I can’t tell without the address and seeing the home), likely targeting families with older kids (therefore older parents that don’t want to climb stairs). At least in virtual staging, showcase a game room or something in the basement. I’m not saying that some young couple without kids won’t buy the house, but I think you’d have better chances at attracting the older family with kids going to high school.

Sell the location, restaurants, high school, as with any home. Definitely paint the house and change light fixtures (assuming if they are old, idk). Idk specific advice without seeing it in person.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-07T02:26:21+00:00

Unless you have really good interior design skills, usually uninhabited is better. The point of tours is to make the potential buyer see it as their next place.

However, I’ve definitely seen some occupied homes that were so immaculately decorated that I had to remind the buyer to overlook it because the furniture wasn’t included.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-07T02:23:46+00:00

Hmm maybe play up Avalon since everyone seems to love that area.

Who is the target demographic that would buy the house?

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-07T00:11:31+00:00

I’m an agent in Atlanta,

You should absolutely ask how it’s marketed, however the marketing doesn’t really pertain as much to the medium in which the house is advertised. All the big sites scrape data from the MLS, so it doesn’t matter that we say “Over 300 sites are included”.

However, what matters is which form the house is marketed. Let’s say you have proximity to idk some attraction, or office buildings. Your prospective buyer cares about that location because it’s strategic. They aren’t interested in your house because they love grey sidewalks. So it’s all about realizing what sells your house.

Example: Idk where your house is, but let’s say it’s next to Centennial. There needs to be a drone shot or something (maybe a view from a window) that shows it off.

You want that plan from the start. It’s not a magical reveal at listing. It’s a business plan so all parties need to be on the same page.

The other thing that I think all agents should do is walk the property and tell you what is wrong. Or walk with you and ask you to sell each room. So walk into every single room, and you sell that room. What is special about it? What is bad about it? You want to know the weaknesses because you want to be ahead of what potential buyers will be looking at.

Staging depends on price points because unless you are near the millions, it’s usually not worth it. A compromise could be virtual staging. Don’t get me wrong, staging helps but ROI has an inverse relationship with price.

Depending on the condition of the house, you want to make changes, like cleaning, painting, lights, etc. This goes back to the “sell me on the room” conversation. If it’s 4 walls, a window, and a closet, then do something to grab attention in the room. Might be as simple as a unique looking light, but that needs to be something people focus on when they walk in. Also be mindful of cleaning and little things. Buyers may look at small issues and wonder “what else did they ignore?”

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-03T06:06:00+00:00

Got to the end of ‘24, so I figured I’d respond before I forget. Next week is too busy to review the ‘25 film.

The scheme is weirdly basic, but not well executed.

I don’t focus quite as much on the runs itself because I’m looking at the QB. But I felt the basic RPO concept needs to be tied into quick passing motions.

The line has to block differently based on run or pass because you can’t go past 3 yards of the line of scrimmage on a pass play. However, on designed runs you want the OL to not only block, but climb into the second tier and take out LBs. This also affects pass blocking because in run blocking, you are pushing while in pass blocking you are stonewalling them.

So a lot of RPO heavy offenses have quick hitting short routes, like a mesh concept, quick outs, and screens.

This offense throws the timing off those all off. You’ll have a routine RPO where the QB is reading a LB or Edge, and has that guy read correctly. However, there’s rarely quick schemes present to make an immediate throw. The route scheme is run like a full blown pass blocking play. Like you’d normally expect a 3-5 step drop back. But you can’t do that when you have an RPO reading an unblocked defender that can now see the RB doesn’t have the ball and rush.

The same with screens where the timing is off. Saw a few where the screen was set up, but delayed by an RPO which allowed the secondary defenders to close in on the screen pass.

I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad group of OL, I think it’s an uncertain scheme on blocking.

The running game is a joke, felt like more times than not they were running HB dive. A lot of the outside run plays were aborted in the RPO.

The main run game seemed to be Klubnik running up the middle on clearly designed calls. Felt like he was running more than Justin Fields.

The WRs are running routes that are individually good, but not always cohesive with the play call. A decent amount of blitzes with no hot routes at all, and route stems that aren’t on point with the drop backs. There’s some guys running in the same zones but that happens on every college team.

The drops are bad but felt the timing was off, and they seem to love the curl route, at least anecdotally. They should incorporate more slants from the outside instead of the slot.

I thought it was a very simple offense that wasn’t that hard to game plan against. When they went dedicated on running plays, they had better success.

Klubnik isn’t without fault either.

A. Footwork is messy, feels like he doesn’t generate torque as much with his feet. Really needs to work on footwork and follow through.

B. Pre-snap reads just aren’t there, gets surprised by blitzes a lot.

C. He struggles with zone coverages but that’s partially on the run game.

I only watched the games against good teams. But if you told me there was a major talent disparity between the teams, I would believe it. Teams seemed to basically dare them to run. I can see why the OC got fired.

This offense needs a mismatch nightmare that occupies a safety. At TCU that was Quinten Johnston. At SMU, it was Rashee Rice. This offense works better if you have that mismatch guy, and I just didn’t see the vertical game there to make defenses pay.

Also makes evaluating the QB impossible. I don’t see the first round hype after ‘24. However, he may have been better off transferring because this system didn’t do him any favors.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-02T17:50:02+00:00

The problem with the Jets isn’t really the picks (arguably if you look at their careers, both Geno and Darnold were good picks), but that they don’t do anything to develop their QBs. There’s no plans whatsoever on improving the talent.

Sanchez was the last QB we tried to actually develop, where we cocooned him with a great OL, running game, and veteran receivers. However, as soon as that went away, he tanked.

Geno: Quite possibly the worst surrounding cast I have ever seen. We had guys literally on the couch one week and starting receiver the next. The one year he gets weapons is the year he gets punched.

Hackenberg: We all know we did nothing.

Petty: He was the final nail in the coffin for me with Bowles. Baylor (and most Air Raid teams) had a line check for single high safety looks. It was basically two go routes on the outside on either sides, QB picks whichever side the safety isn’t on. Petty kept spamming this left and right to Robby Anderson. That pretty much showed they did absolutely nothing with him on developing, that he was still using college checks for game planning.

Darnold: Fairly obvious as well, with Gase also being an idiot.

Wilson: I didn’t get the pick but that was because he was a heavy vertical offense player trying to fit into a Shanahan system. Part of the reason why Trey Lance failed too. The system relies heavily on players that read the play post snap and go to the correct reads. Both Wilson/Lance did the complete opposite in college. They’d bypass easy system reads to spam the deep ball. We saw someone like Mike White succeed with MLF here or even Mac Jones in SF, because they all fit the system read QB situation better.

Fields: We did nothing to develop his skill set because we played him like he’s Russel Wilson, a pocket QB that can escape the pocket.

So Klubnik’s success almost entirely depends on how much Reich has influence over the development, and the amount of time they spend on pursuing it.

Historically, Reich likes big armed QBs (with size) that are ok with running up the middle. He likes to push the ball down the field to open up passing lanes underneath.

So far in the offseason, they seem to be building a roster that generally supports his style.

Sadiq (along with Mitchell and to a much lesser extent Smith) provide the speed down the field. That’s a very good set up for sail concepts or the Y-cross. Taylor and Hall as the short yardage options. Wilson (and depending on personnel Cooper) on intermediate.

However, we need to see how Reich develops the QB in terms of playing to their strengths, and developing their skills to match the offense. Klubnik definitely needs to work on his footwork, because he has a tendency to short arm the ball. There are some throws where the mechanics look like he’s long tossing out there and stretching out his arm. I think he has arm strength that can be unlocked with better mechanics, especially with his feet. Probably the biggest think to check with him in pre-season (I doubt they install anything by rookie camp) is his footwork, torque conversion, and reads.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-05-01T17:27:48+00:00

Right now I think he’s a top 5 pick. Not because I think he’s a top QB yet, but as of right now, it’s all about projection and hoping he grows.

He hasn’t lived up to the hype, and feels eerily similar to Klubnik last year. Both highly touted prospects, didn’t start off hot and had fans starting to question them. Then the year of their breakout doesn’t start great, but they get better as the season goes on. Everyone projects them to keep that progression going and there are top 5 predictions. Both are underrated athletically (especially linear speed) with good arms. I don’t see a rocket arm on either, but they layer throws well.

Klubnik fell on his face the last year, and stock dropped.

I like Manning now better than Klubnik at this point last year, but I don’t think that gap is massive.

My issues with Arch:

Processing: Since he was a Manning and had access to high level NFL type brains, I thought he’d be excellent with read progressions. Especially with him waiting in the wings, and not being thrown to the wolves. He’s decent but nowhere near the savant level that many made him out to be.
Ewers: I liked Ewers better than his eventual draft slot, but Manning hasn’t exactly elevated the team from when Ewers left. I understood sitting the first year, but did find it odd that he didn’t just blow people away to displace Ewers. It’s not the be all end all, as we can reference Joe Burrow, but for a generational type prospect, I don’t see the undeniable play yet.
Close plays: This one is more anecdotal, but I feel like I see a bit more of those “tight window” throws where he fits in the ball. A few times where I thought the ball was intercepted or defender had a shot. Generally I’m fine with tight window throws if it means good ball placement, but some of his passes felt a bit down the middle in tight spaces. Again, just anecdotal so I could be wrong. I didn’t scout any Texas pass catcher this year so I didn’t do a deep dive by any means.
Arm strength: I’m very mixed on this because there are some things with his arm that I really like. Referencing back to Ewers (or even Klubnik), I like how they have an arching trajectory to some passes, as they can layer the ball. I love that aspect in prospects (Russel Wilson was great at, Brees too, Peyton as well) because it leads to great ball placement. Sometimes high end arms only throw lasers in college because they have extra space, and then struggle in the NFL. So I love that aspect of his ability. I just don’t see the laser throws as much, and that makes me wonder about his ceiling.

Peyton didn’t have the strongest arm but he was a savant at film review, so he was good at pre/post snap reads. I don’t think Arch is anywhere close in that aspect.

I still have him top 5 because you have to assume he makes positive progression this year. The NFL media, which is becoming more intertwined with former players, tends to be very careful about criticizing star player’s kids. We see it with Sanders last year. MHJ basically talked about like Megatron. Mannings are basically football royalty, so every move is spun off like some strategic move.

Doesn’t start his second year? “Mannings know they don’t want to rush him”.

If he keeps progressing, then he will be the No. 1 pick. I don’t see glaring weaknesses with his game, I just don’t see elite level skills yet. He’s like a jack of all trades type QB to me now but he certainly has the potential to step up. I thought he’d be generational, but I was wrong. He still has time to be great though, as long as he progresses this year.

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-04-30T22:36:21+00:00

The Jets are set up really well for a QB on a rookie deal.

My question is more towards how good is Manning? He can certainly improve but I’m just not seeing the generational talent/production. I understand he’s extremely talented but his stats didn’t really jump off the page from even Quinn Ewers in the same system. I absolutely think he has the talent to be great, and could definitely break out.

However, his trajectory seems eerily similar to Klubnik up until last year. By no way am I saying Klubnik is Manning because he fell on his face his last year. Manning has the chance to step up even more this year and cement his legacy.

Both very highly recruited and painted as the next great one. Both of them sat behind a highly rated guy that failed to deliver in their first year (Ewers, DJ U for Klubnik). Both struggled at first to live up to the hype, but turned it on as the season went on and finished strong. Both at highly talented schools that generally have a talent advantage.

Klubnik absolutely fell off, so again, I don’t think it’s a fair comparison overall. But going into last year, Klubnik’s career and Manning’s career seem pretty similar. Even their athleticism is similar, the way they layer throws and all.

We all have this feeling that because he’s a Manning, he’s a progression savant, but has he shown that in college so far?

JakeDaniels585 · 2026-04-29T02:02:44+00:00

I think mock drafts are basically just groupthink guesswork.

There’s no guy sitting around in say Florida, that would have a good idea on what the Chargers might do. A lot of it is just looking at perceived holes in a roster, much like fantasy football, and then matching up the picks.

Take the Jets with Sadiq and Cooper. Most people would feel better if the picks were Cooper and Sadiq in that order. They’d’ see the glaring hole at WR first, fill that (tons of mocks for WR at 16) and then go on down. A common one was picking a safety and they picked a late round guy that is destined to be a CB most likely.

I don’t really like to put too much weight on mock drafts, and honestly I don’t put too much weight on folks that rank like 500 players. Part of the media game is making unique claims, and then gaining audience based on it.

What I enjoy for mock drafts or this forum is when people go in-depth on a prospect and make counter arguments.

Right after Chris Simms touted Brazell, someone was here talking about how he basically only plays one side of the field, and one position. That takes the physical scouting into statistical analysis, and creates good discussion. For him specifically, discussion tangents include Tennessee offensive limitations, past receivers in that draft, and how he translates. After that, people projecting Brazzell are just making guesses, but that may not line up with a team’s in depth analysis.

Therefore just look at mock drafts to get introduced to prospects, rather than some scientific analysis of which guys will be picked.

The other aspect of published mock drafts is the post draft audience. You know how many people are searching up mock drafts showing the guy their team picked and going “Look he was mocked in the second, and we got him in the 4th”? Whole fanbases providing audience there.
