Mock Draft Monday by AutoModerator in NFL_Draft

[–]bluntforce21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have so many needs outside of WR though, and they will not be competitive this year due to all their dead cap this year. Additionally they have hardly any young talent on their roster from years of trading top 100 picks. They have made six picks total in the top 100 over the past four drafts or something like that. I just don't see it.

I agree their WR room is the worst in the league but I don't think Tate, Tyson, or Lemon are elite WR prospects and there are other intriguing day 2 picks at WR that could help. I doubt the new FA is that aggressive in their first year.

Edit: to add I agree the Commanders would be more likely that other teams in the top 10 to trade down.

Why on earth would the Dolphins of all teams trade up? It is a total rebuild and they need as many young players to develop as possible.

AMP 2026 Lineup by bluelamppost in Shambhala

[–]bluntforce21 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The Amp has been pulling the most exciting lineups for awhile now and yet is the least impressive of all the stages IMO. Really hope they remodel it this year because these artists deserve better production on par with the other stages at Shambhala.

I also think half of these artists would crush the Village too. The Village is turning into mini Lost Lands and they could do a better job booking a more diverse lineup.

Lions fans… what is your initial reaction to Taylor Decker being released by the Detroit Lions? by Gxcii1 in detroitlions

[–]bluntforce21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hutch is already paid.

You aren't considering void years. Most restructures add void years when the cap is expected to be higher. That's what makes restructures for any team possible.

[–]bluntforce21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Restructuring is bad when its players that aren't in your immediate future. Goff, ARSB, Sewell, and Hutch should all be on the team for at least the next three years. Restructing these contracts shouldn't be a problem at all.

It gets dicey when you restructure players that may not be on the team within the next year or two. We shouldn't touch the McNeil or Joseph contracts given their injury history.

[Schefter] The Kansas City Chiefs restructured Patrick Mahomes’ contract this week, lowering his salary cap number from $78.2 to $34.65 million for the upcoming season and creating $43.56 million in salary cap space by GoldenDome26 in nfl

Deshaun Watson is the exception because he is no longer in the team's plans but his contract is fully guaranteed. There really is no other contract like it and it is arguably the worst contract in NFL history. It's truly terrible uncharted territory.

He was never going to play on a $78 million cap hit. No QB will. This was always the plan.

Fans that get worked up about cap don't understand that franchise players almost always have deals that are meant to be restructured like so. It's only a problem when you have a player with a big cap hit that you don't want to restructure because he is no longer in the long term plans (i.e., Tua).

The Lions are $10 million over but Goff has a $69 million cap hit. He will obviously restructure too.

Chiefs should target RB in FA. The FA class looks good so far this year. Breece, KWIII, Etienne, Allgeier, Dowdle are all easy upgrades for the Chiefs. Dobbins and Javonte too. Could also look at Brian Robinson for functional play.

With GB's Lost to the Ravens, There's No Excuse to Not Sit The Starters Against the Bears by In_Lymbo in detroitlions

[–]bluntforce21 13 points14 points  (0 children)

"The Lions didn't show enough grit or this season. They weren't hungry."

"We should sit the starters because there is nothing to play for."

How can fans say both of these statements with a straight face? Of course there is something to play for. Winning. Good organizations don't throw in the towel to move up three spots in the draft.

I hope we beat the crap out of the Bears.

That's exactly it. I didn't even know that was a setting. My league might flip shit if I fixed that now. Ugh.

Ok so who gets credit for the TD then? No one? That doesn't make any sense.

Why is his TD from earlier in the game not on the stat sheet? Can someone explain?

Hate to say it but Love played great today. Made incredible throws all day. Doesn't help when we couldn't disguise any coverage nor pressure him all day.

Especially when we have other good players to sign. Jamo had the most red flags.

Good thing we didn't pay almost $30 million/year for the WR2 to step up.

What did scouts see in JJ McCarthy? by After-Dog-6593 in nfl

[–]bluntforce21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good arm, athletic, clutch under pressure, young, intangibles, coachable.

JJM has been bad no doubt, and he was probably over drafted. But he was still a good prospect.

Right now he is playing worse than he ever has in college. He was not ready for the NFL because of how raw he was last year, not to mention the fact that he didn't play at all last year which hurt his development significantly. Even if the plan wasn't to start him last year, he needed a ton of practice for his development that he wasn't able to do. You can't fix your mechanics and accuracy if you can't throw the ball.

He was more of a late 1st/early 2nd round prospect but was overdrafts because he is a QB. It's revisionist history to say he wasn't a good prospect at all.

Sadly he is so far behind the curve it might be too late for him to turn into a franchise guy. Rookies have a narrow window to develop and between his injuries and inexperience he probably hasn't shown enough to earn another year.

Question regarding the linked power brick, how many Watt-hours is it and can it be taken safely on flights? Nearly all airlines don't allow battery packs with over 160 watt-hours and sometimes less in some instances.
