This week has been a great week, on top of a fantastic off-season. If you can't see how Ben/Poles are doing some amazing work then go root for the Packers or Bulls or Sox or some other crappy team. This is a team and a roster to get excited about...and they're not done. We could STILL land a really great RB (it's super deep RB class—some have said as many as FOURTEEN DEEP RBs that can be starters).

I'm rooting for at least on RB tomorrow—Tuten (fastest RB at the combine), Tahj, Martinez, Sampson, Brashard—IDK who is the best fit, but it's a very talented class. I can't believe three rounds in there are only FIVE RBS gone. Wow. Lots of talent left.

7th pick in the 4th round Saturday—fingers crossed it's a RB here.

We have our speed back with Swift. I am hoping for Skattabo

I think trapillo will be just a T. He's 6'8" so hard to envision him playing G. I wouldn't be surprised if trapillo, Braxton, and Kiran compete for LT. Braxton wins, trapillo becomes swing T and Kiran moves into G for depth
I know what you mean, but Thorn mentioned in his scouting report that Trapillo can play guard. Trapillo also mentioned how he’s been training for 4 positions (excluding center). It would seem there’s belief there’s opportunity there from his own camp. Really though, it’s the mention from Thorn that tells me he can probably work. If Thorn volunteered that Trapillo can try guard, I have no reason to believe it wouldn’t be worth developing and finding out.

Went to Baja Miquel's at South Point casino. If you're going on a weekend, recommend getting a reservation. We didn't have one, so it was about an hour and a half minute wait (which was fine for us since we didn't have anywhere to go).
Will report.

Thank god for the Steelers. Didn't want Kaleb Johnson at all.
I didn't want Kaleb Johnson when looking at 39/41, but I would call that good value for the Steelers. They used #83 and replaced/upgraded Najee Harris.

Side note - Apparently Caleb/Kaleb was the popular name in 2005-2006? There have been several drafted tonight.

I don’t really get the hate for Shadeur. Not even talking about his play. People are euphoric about him dropping like he’s this bad kid. Considering who his dad is and how they tend to rub off on their kids sometimes, I’d say he’s fairly quiet and likable. He’s taking advantage of his fame like anybody in his position would. I don’t think he’s this cocky kid who needs his comeuppance though.
I don't think I'd categorize it as "hate". And I also don't personally find him "likeable" in any way. He was reported to be "the most entitled player we ever interviewed" by NFL exec and drove a Rolls Royce in college. Not exactly coming in to your QB room feeling he has to earn anything.

But now that he has dropped at least to Round 4, he will be a martyr to all those who call everyone "haters". This will be their proof of conspiracy.
