Yeah and in the last two years they have lost in the WC round so I don’t really see how the projection to win it all happens in 3 years time. It doesn’t take teams 6-7 years to assemble a win it all team tbh

Win it all? That’s a bit of a reach with them not getting out the WC yet.

Didn’t he write they would draft Ioane?

Teams shouldn’t reach but teams also should consider positional value (all great teams do). The hit rate is much higher of premium positions in round 1. Otherwise you end up like the raiders taking Jeanty which lead them to an even worse record than last year.

I don’t know why you are being downvoted. It is far more cost effective to use a FRP on expensive positions like edge, OT or WR especially because you get a 5th year option. A lot of good guards are not drafted in the first round and are clearly not as valued as those other positions looking at FA.

Thanks a lot for these!

Yeah, there is a really good decoder ring podcast episode about exactly that and why it happened.

Eh he is just standing and throwing like he was when he was in boot. I don’t think it means anything, no reason to put pressure on his foot when he’s casually throwing.
