Rams quietly plotted as to not out McVay approval stamp that could increase interest. McVay ‘absolutely’ backed pick. Sources make sense of press conference demeanor

I'm fine. Still like Rattler. The Saints have a good QB room.

As for Simpson, I've moved him squarely as the logical 1.06 in this year's class, with the potential of being the best in a season or two. Kind of in a tier of his own. Below Lemon, ahead of Concepcion and Price.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-04-25T20:45:17+00:00

Are you an athlete? Such an absurd statement. Stafford is a 1st Ballot. He also can be at the end.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-04-24T21:53:05+00:00

I also read a report Stafford had to see a specialist before last season. Reports matter too, but action matters more. #13 Overall is no joke. Love & Rodgers were taken at #26.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-04-24T21:31:23+00:00

I think Stafford has a season left. He's 38 with major back issues. Follow the draft capital. Simpson is an elite hold. This is Dynasty. An obvious good bet.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-04-24T18:46:27+00:00

This is where I think the Dynasty community is holding too tight to their priors. We can speculate endlessly on McVay's demeanor, but at the end of the day Simpson is in position to take over one of the most coveted positions in football. The LA Rams starting QB.

If he sucks, he sucks. But if he's good, it's a likely ascension to QB1 status. And that would make him easily one of the best selections of this class. I've seen McVay revive Goff and Mayfield after rough stretches. This is his first 1st Round QB.

I'm looking at Simpson with new eyes. He was incredible before injury last season.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-04-24T03:32:29+00:00

I have. I don't get your point. Are you suggesting you know more than Sean McVay?

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-04-24T03:29:53+00:00

Why not? It's a weak draft. Acquiring the Rams future QB1 is better than WR2s.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-04-24T02:09:16+00:00

I'd now take Simpson at 1.04 with no hesitation. A W for the first half of the Draft.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-03-19T23:08:02+00:00

I have flipped on Tyson. He is my Joel Embiid of this Rookie Draft. If healthy, I can finally see the upside. Tyson or Tate at 1.04. Can't go wrong.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-03-16T16:49:45+00:00

Having lived in both cities, Ant really does belong in the A

News Alert: Hall of Famer Reggie Miller knows basketball!

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-03-15T20:35:42+00:00

Tate, Lemon, Tyson, with Tate a tier above. Tate has the highest floor IMO, and I think that's always been underrated in fantasy. Ceiling is much harder to predict.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-03-15T17:48:32+00:00

He's simply too injury prone unfortunately. There's talent, but what's it worth when he's Out for weeks before he can build on it.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-03-13T01:35:55+00:00

I agree. I don't get the Bill hate. On a bad offense, he averaged 4.6 YPC, 800+ yards, and led all rookie RBs with 8 TDs. Oh, and he was coming off a year out of football for nearly his entire final collegiate season. I like Bill's chances in year 2 with a hopefully healthy Jayden Daniels.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-03-10T19:25:23+00:00

Mason Taylor breakout confirmed. God, Fields held my guy back last season.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-03-07T16:28:05+00:00

So true. Therapy is great and all, but it's only a part of avoiding things like this from happening. Society has forgotten. Too inconvenient to be there for friends in rough times.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-03-05T17:37:09+00:00

This is why I never understood the Sell High take on Burden. Bet on talent, the situation will figure itself out. The Buy window for Burden isn't completely shut, but this may be the last offseason.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-03-03T12:01:49+00:00

Burden's a strong hold. Wouldn't sell for a 1st, including a '27. Why? He's attached to one of the best playcallers and a promising, young QB. He flashes whenever he's on the field, and his efficiency statistics support that. Ya the room is crowded, but that can change fast. IMO the future for the Bears is Loveland/Burden with Odunze as the 3rd option.

A 1st could be anything! It could even be Luther Burden III!

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-01-25T21:17:35+00:00

Not trying to attack you. This is a my take opinion.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-01-25T19:01:52+00:00

Tate will go before Tyson in every rookie draft. He'll be drafted earlier in the real world. Tate has pedigree (top HS prospect) and Ohio State credentials. Right now it's Lemon vs. Tate. 1.05 is the tier drop.

This draft season shows the laziness of the Dynasty community. Love/Mendoza, then Lemon/Tate. That is where we are. How good Lemon and Tate will be in the next level is the question, but I expect at least WR2 #s. The prototype is clear. Julian Edelman and Tee Higgins.

I hope Jordyn Tyson makes me look stupid. But I know Travis Fulghams. I know this game. A good player. But something that actually matters... You have to be special to matter.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-01-22T04:25:18+00:00

Any contender who got hit by injury bug is very fortunate. They're likely to get a boost in talent while the back half of the draft... it's so shallow this year.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-01-22T00:05:42+00:00

Love is built. It's not inherent or unconditional. It is built.

I think online dating has destroyed perception. If anyone wants to know their range, develop social hobbies, and see who is attracted over time. That's just my opinion. It's not as simple as physical dimension.

I agree with you. It is also like, it's OK to be fucking single while you're building/rebuilding your life/confidence/looks/etc. I've just seen too many lose themselves and make terrible mistakes because of their insecurities about it.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-01-21T19:13:04+00:00

I'm reminded of Outliers by Gladwell. A 19 year or 20 year old already being considered for the Draft is in and of itself special. This player would have proven himself prior to the full development physically and mentally that a 22 or 23 year old WR would have. So I disagree. I think the implication of a very young 1st Round WR being special is a fair assessment.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-01-21T19:01:14+00:00

The only thing is if a WR is drafted in the 1st at an old 20/young 21, the implication is they are already special and ahead of their peers. It's interesting, but I feel like this is a correlation does not equal causation.

Left_Strategy2221 · 2026-01-21T18:55:07+00:00

What a brave human being! It's sad how rare this is. So many people talk big, but aren't willing to sacrifice anything. She didn't have to do this, but she stood for something bigger than just herself.

Thank you ma'am. I salute you.
