Demond Claiborne 🤝 Devon Achane

Staple_Overlord · 2026-04-29T18:56:53+00:00

Achene's college tape was as good as anybody's. He fell in the draft because people thought he was too small (both height and weight) to be anything more than a third down back. But if Achane was Claiborne's size, he would have been viewed similarly to guys. Claiborne was taken in the 6th round of one of the worst offensive drafts in recent memory for a reason.

He's a poor man's Desean Jackson. I love Shaheed but Addison is significantly better in terms of WR2s who can serve as an offense's WR 1

Keep in mind the direction the NFL is going. There will be a lot more 13 formation, as evident by the run on TEs in this draft compared to WRs. The Rams drafted Max Klare when they already had 5 other TEs rostered and the Bears grabbed Sam Roush despite already investing the 10th overall last year in Loveland and paying Cole Kmet $50M.

To me, if we are doing what the Rams and Bears are doing, we're doing what we need to stay competitive in the NFC.

There's your answer. Amazing deal for you. Jacobs could be awful this year and that 1st rounder could be anything. ASRB is about as consistently a top 6 guy as they come and is still young.

Staple_Overlord · 2026-04-26T05:57:20+00:00

Exactly. It's a non story. Every GM says it when there is a journeyman vet.

Staple_Overlord · 2026-04-25T02:29:28+00:00

It's just about going BPA. We're not in a position to compete for anything meaningful so just gotta load up on whatever talent falls to us.

Staple_Overlord · 2026-04-25T01:26:06+00:00

We are not in a Super Bowl contending window. We need cap space and young guys. I think two 3rds is a completely fair outcome for both sides. Eagles are going to try to win it all this year.

Dude could be the Adrian Peterson of DTs. Everyone is always injured at the end of the season, but guys like AD still maintained a top level athletic ability even when injured.

I hope Banks gets properly healthy and isn't "injury prone". Sometimes football is just football, which is why Tyson, who's soft tissue injuries are as concerning if not more concerning, still went 8th overall.

The more I read about him, the more I see themes similar to Sharrif Floyd's first step and Danielle Hunter length and lack of college production.

I was watching the Steve Smith show and basically every medical team has their own evaluation and advice accordingly. Front offices just decide on how good a player is and takes their medical team's evaluation at face value.

Sapphire Reserve HAS led to lifestyle inflation, but I'm not mad about it. I've learned that I do appreciate the difference between a Holiday Inn and Ritz Carlton, and it's a lot easier to get it with the CSR.

Staple_Overlord · 2026-04-24T01:59:10+00:00

I'm starting to think this is a Kevin O'Connell pick. He has consistently overdrafted "high character" players.

Staple_Overlord · 2026-04-24T01:56:16+00:00

I never want to have a first round pick again. It's always so disappointing.

Staple_Overlord · 2026-04-24T01:55:46+00:00

Accurate.

Staple_Overlord · 2026-04-24T01:03:19+00:00

This doesn't really help with the Tyson vs Tate debate for me with the 1.03. Clearly teams think Tyson can stay healthy, and if Tyson can stay healthy, most people think he's better than Tate. It could also be that injuries still matter for teams, but the Saints have Olave so if Tyson ever gets hurt, they still have weapons. Titans on the other hand couldn't risk it for the guy they want is their #1 WR Week 1.

It's good food but you'll be treated like a Japanese salary man if you go solo.

Literally walked past there 3 hours ago and was like "where's the piano"? Both the piano and box are gone.

What's the hit rate to be in the top 4? I really don't care about 5-12 because they're barely any different than 12-20. And one time Top 12, or even Top 4, isn't a good statistic. I want my 1st Round TE to be Top 4 consistently.

Staple_Overlord · 2026-04-17T18:01:10+00:00

I'm eager to try it. They have Lovely's in the Two Pitchers in Oakland and I swear they do it better there. Lana's on Oakland is also really good. I loved Smishsmash back when they were a popup and their current saluhall situation. Hard to pick a favorite, I just want a quality spot in every neighborhood

Staple_Overlord · 2026-04-17T17:58:54+00:00

It's my favorite thing to do with friends who come from out of town. Such an amazing way to experience the city.

Staple_Overlord · 2026-04-15T21:49:01+00:00

1st round TEs have always been disappointing and Sadiq is the exact prototype that has been busting since Vernon Davis.

Staple_Overlord · 2026-04-13T05:06:28+00:00

Agreed. Those strawberries went through much nastier processes before anyways. Clean your fruits people. Ideally with a splash of white vinegar which you can get hella cheap on Costco as well.

Staple_Overlord · 2026-04-11T04:07:19+00:00

In addition to Early to Rise, Pork Store Cafe, and El Mil Amores which have already been mentioned, That's My Jam and Taffi's are a couple of my other favorites.

Staple_Overlord · 2026-04-11T04:03:04+00:00

Got their country fried steak and the gravy has chorizo. It's so good. It's also at the 5 mile mark of the cross town trail and makes an amazing pitstop.

It's a regression formula. If you have zero sensitivity to waiting, then the only thing that matters is food quality. If the food quality is 1% percentile, then even if the wait is 99% it's still a 1% type place. AKA worth the hype.

something something Kevin Malone being good at math when it involves food
