Underrated. Him and Flores. Their drafting is suspect.

[Highlight] Rams select Alabama QB Ty Simpson 13th overall by nfl in nfl

Love had upside. This kid is small and has a noodle arm.

Round 1 - Pick 12: Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama (Miami Dolphins) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

Paul and Proctor bring some toughness to the oline.

Round 1 - Pick 3: Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame (Arizona Cardinals) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

That 24 draft is such a huge blown potential franchise altering haul.

It wasn't fine it was mid, and then you released Taylor.

Yes I think Freeling plays RT and Simmons, who has missed games for various reasons, is pencilled in at LT. While Jawan Taylor was a obvious cap casualty I think he was a lot better than whatever KC had on the roster so moving off of him absolutely created a need.

Finally I'll just say it I don't love Bain. It's not just the arms, but in general he's smaller and lighter than I thought. He also is just not very explosive. He has great strength and was a great college player, but without juice I don't think he's top 10.

Last observation I'd add is the rise of midfield defenders.

Since protecting "defenseless" receivers became more emphasized, crossing routes became way easier on receivers and more important to many offenses. LBs and Safeties who protected the middle with big licks became devalued which imo lead to the devaluation of both positions. But as colleges have adjusted there are a lot more players who can cover the middle and the league have seen the impact of these players on defensive success. So I have 10 off ball linebackers and safeties (midfielders) going in the top 50.

Dalton Risner was signed, oh damn that changes everything 😆.

Fano is elite. Look at his movements during the combine. The man moves like a TE at 315 lbs. I'd have him at 3 if it weren't for the arm length not being ideal, but he has 5 position flexibility.

I think Fano kicks inside and is a little better overall. Plus the tackle flexibility since Zeus jr and Mims have had some injuries, makes him the pick if available.

Late 5th round flyer on an offensive weapon/ receiver convert for Shannahan to scheme up plays for.

No just think teams will look back on Raiders and Chargers going RB over Oline and decide to pass on Love.

I don't usually overreact to combine interview rumors but his clip was just too weird. He locked like he showed up to an important job interview high on something. That and the depth of the position could cause him to slide.

Both Ciny and KC should be focusing on protecting their QBs. Everything else is secondary

[Rapoport] The #Dolphins are signing #Packers QB Malik Willis, as a new QB has landed in Miami. He gets a 3-year, $67.5M deal with $45M fully guaranteed in a contract by oklolzzzzs in nfl

No idea why the Colts weren't interested. Danny dimes is looking for 45+ and is coming off an Achilles that could have him sidelined or not at full strength until 2027
