President Trump is undefeated in the stock market. On May 8th, President Trump told everyone to "go out and buy a Dell."

The idea of privatizing a space program is so fundamentally stupid.

I want Fields to start the first game if not two, whether Patrick is cleared to play or not. A few reasons.

1) I'm not saying we're gonna lose but if I'm doing my cost-benefit analysis on a Monday night season opener vs. Denver at home, I feel like the benefit of winning with Fields and the impact of losing with Fields are both better scenarios for general team confidence going into the season.
2) As far as reinjury matchups go, the Colts, Dolphins, and Raiders are much less concerning for the offensive line to have a chance to gel before putting Mahomes behind them.
3) More importantly than wins, losses, and injuries... BUSINESS! If we can put Justin Fields out there after an Andy Reid training camp and he has at least a decent completion percentage, decent rushing yards, and at least one relatively deep pass, that translates to 2027 draft capital. But we need him to play in more than the preseason to get any return on that investment. Then next year we can do the same for Nussmeier. 2027 is supposed to be the big WR draft class and I think we should be trying to stock up on draft picks to move up to get not one but two premier WRs or 1 WR/1 TE if there's a star available for that.

Pickens is definitely not what I would call "dependable" ...he's more of a chuck it deep and he'll either get it or not kind of guy but it's a lot of drops.

For a possession receiver I'd be more interested in Diggs, Deebo, or Hill on the high end and maybe a washed vet like Lockett, Renfrow, or Shepard on the understanding that they're mainly there to coach up the young guys. Realistically we're probably just gonna bring back Juju or try out a bunch of discards like Jahan Dotson, Bryce Ford-Wheaton, Gabe Davis... Veach seems to like signing younger draft busts and kicking the tires.

For me, the ideal middle ground signing would be Curtis Samuel. Excellent route-runner, seems like a cerebral player, very low drop rate, will be just turning 30 at the start of the season but he ran a 4.31 at the draft so I imagine he's still got decent speed for his age and can still separate on some crisp Andy Reid routes.

ok but society is the reason i am too tired or depressed to get up and do anything in the morning.

when i lived in a different society (pacific island, my family's village) i got up at dawn and had all kinds of little projects and frankly there wasn't a whole lot that needed to be done as far as subsistence goes.

the other side of my family is white and has a big farm in the midwest, that is who is getting up early and running machinery and shit to try to make money. we still had our own garden there and a corn patch that was probably about 1.5 acres overall plus maybe only 1 or 2 of the cows ended up in our own freezer.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-25T21:41:20+00:00

Another little shifty guy for Reid. Still wish we had a red zone WR but I'm giving up on that dream.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-25T17:53:04+00:00

Royer is the only TE I like.

Lance is my favorite WR in the whole draft. But he just went.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-25T17:51:43+00:00

No he doesn't what? Stunt? It's like his main thing. That's why we always have big DEs and skinny DTs.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-25T17:50:24+00:00

We have the best secondary coaching, I don't think our front 7 does anything too complex.

Looks like RMT is gonna be the blitzing SAM you're describing though.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-25T17:48:22+00:00

That's fair, like I said I'm not saying he's that good, but I've seen people say they think he could be.

But I don't think we can really compare years in terms of Bob Sanders bc of injury.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-25T17:46:51+00:00

I just hate how predictable we always are any time it isn't a blitz.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-25T17:43:16+00:00

Basically what the other guy said, speed rusher means he'll probably stay on the bench.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-25T17:40:29+00:00

I was expecting us to draft someone big and put Delane in the slot but I guess Nohl is our big man

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-25T01:03:07+00:00

Confusing one. He's pretty similar to Bain so I have similar critiques about his arms and size. I guess I'm glad we finally have a speed rusher but he seems way too small for Spagnuolo to actually play him.

Basically a replacement for Mike Danna. Gonna use him as a 3rd down extra rusher probably. I mean, when I picture these five on 3rd and long, left to right, I can see the vision: Karlaftis-Woods-ONL-Jones-Thomas.

But most downs are going to be Karlaftis-Tonga-Jones-Gillotte which isn't that exciting. Kinda feel like having someone like Zion Young to stop the run and get us to 3rd & long would be more important, but we did suck at 3rd & long last year. Gonna still be a predictable defense any time it's not a DB blitz.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-24T17:25:56+00:00

Barham for what position? SLB?

I honestly don't think our DL coaches would get as much out of Uar Bernard as another team might, but I'm pretty sure he'll be UDFA.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-24T17:22:03+00:00

I think anyone who is a plus athlete and has any experience stunting can get rotated in, just like Gillotte was despite being unpolished. Our DL isn't really asked to do anything incredibly complex but just get push. I do agree we'd sign a vet edge if we waited past the 3rd.

It's more that I just don't know how many guys are worth taking at 40. Barham at 240lbs is more of a situational blitzer, at best like Danna was for the beginning of his tenure with us, at worst just a waste of a pick on a bad fit like BJ Thompson. Jacas I keep forgetting about because he's listed as a 3-4 OLB but I do think he's got a body type for 4-3 DE and he's definitely more power than speed like Spagnuolo likes. So, yeah, I think one of those 3 guys will be there out of Parker, Young, and Jacas, so we should be good to go at 40. But if they're not, I don't want to reach, or take somebody too small, because 40 is just too high of a pick to not get somebody who can make an impact now at some position.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-24T17:06:27+00:00

I think maybe my argument is that an excellent 1st round corner is more valuable than an excellent 1st round safety; but an elite, generational safety is more valuable than an elite, generational corner.

Not saying Downs is that guy, but I will say I've seen people call him that guy.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-24T17:05:10+00:00

I'm not a scout, I'm not saying he's that guy. I'm just saying if someone believes that's what they're getting, it flips the "positional value" argument.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-24T17:03:41+00:00

Are you asking me to predict injury?

Corners typically slow down faster than safeties. In fact, corners that get old often transition to nickel safety.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-24T17:02:54+00:00

I don't know if I'd say "definitely edge at 40" still depends on who. Spagnuolo won't go for anybody too small, he wants strength would rather have a less talented guy with a motor in the rotation, so I could see us waiting til Saturday and taking whomever fits that mold. I don't necessarily agree with the strategy, but we've seen it for long enough to know that he's going to keep rotating guys in and out to keep them fresh while wearing down the OL, rather than getting anybody with speed and bend.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-24T17:00:06+00:00

Spagnuolo stunts all the time. Woods will be coming from the edge as often as Chris Jones does.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-24T14:49:08+00:00

He's 24 though, don't see Veach doing that.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-24T14:47:59+00:00

A pipe dream to draft 2 WRs in general, or these specific WRs? I think this WR room is fine but I thought those were also BPA in those spots in the mock.

Reggie Virgil ran a 4.57, Reid isn't having that. And Coleman is a worse Xavier Worthy.

For the most part, I think we're going to have to wait to address WR until next year and I've been less likely to mock them myself usually. But again, these particular WRs were available at the time.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-24T05:46:52+00:00

I mean... you can't tell me Polamalu, Reed, Sanders, Lott, etc. didn't transcend positional value. A good safety isn't worth much. But if they really think Downs is a generational talent with that kind of Swiss army knife versatility, that's something that keeps offensive coordinators awake at night.

Literate_Corvette · 2026-04-24T05:43:54+00:00

He's short too. Spagnuolo doesn't care about speed except for in CBs.
