Please God no Saqoun
Call me a cheap Jew (cc: @Chief Walking Stick) but with what these guys get paid I’d make them pay for their own food too.
I don't think JSN will necessarily fall. But the key will be when the run on WRs start. In most mocks, the earliest a WR goes is 12 with Quentin Johnston to the Texans. But he is clearly a flawed player and IDK if the Texans go WR that early. And after that, you don't really have teams with a WR need until the Chargers at 21, and that's probably only if they cut/trade Keenan Allen which their GM made sound like it's not even on the table. Ravens at 22 is an obvious WR spot as well. I don't know if they go after JSN as he isn't all that dissimilar to Rashod Bateman who is mainly a slot guy.You're not wrong about the positional value and the fact that WRs don't slide. That comp with Burks, though, is a bit rough. Burks was a physical specimen that won people with his potential. As an aside, I was never high on him and caught some crap for it. Anyway, with JSN, he is pretty slow for a WR with an alleged 4.6 speed. He is coming off a year of injuries with little to no production and rumors that he could have come back and played but checked out for draft prep -- which is his prerogative, but the optics don't play well.
So, he is not a physical specimen by any stretch of the imagination. I'm forecasting his actual measured height to be around 5'11" once the college round up is removed. So, injuries, lack of production, lack of measurables, and the ability only play one position, which, to be frank, not all teams consider slot to be a starting position. I mean, I get it, in today's one back set, the slot is considered a starting position, but it can be filled by a flex TE, a motioning back, or a big WR trying to post up. He's not a gamebreaking WR. He's not. He's a glorified possession receiver: the reincarnation of Waddle.
So, though I believe he should be considered WR1 for this draft, I think he is going to be the only R1 talent to fall out of R1. I see Skoronski falling into the late teens, early 20's, but not out of the first. JSN? Yeah, he's going to drop. It may allow us to get him with what we can get from a trade back. Him falling is a very good thing for us.
If they’re using competitive juices over darts as a measuring stick, I might just have a shot at the NFL after all
No clue, I only pay attention to sports.Didn’t Billy Beane do this in Oakland with the Athletics?
I get what you’re saying as well. I’m just typically someone who thinks these guys need to be more financially responsible and stop expecting everything to be taken care of for them…While I get what you are saying, I would think that teams would want to provide the meals at no cost to the players for several reasons:
1. Helps to ensure the players are eating healthy...because you provided them the healthy food
2. Incentivize the players put in more time and stay at the facility
a. A corollary to this when I read the report card for Arizona is they make it easier for guys like Kyler Murray to not want to be at the facility when you apparently have the worst training room in the league and nickel and dime guys for meals.
3. It sounds like most NFL organizations no longer make guys pay for their meals, so you look like a cheap and/or poorly run organization when it comes to free agency and when guys can decide to go elsewhere.
Sounds like a Trestman idea
Bears will take him off their draft board and he'll go to the lions at 6 and dominate the bears the next decade
He sounds more like a Raider.Bears will take him off their draft board and he'll go to the lions at 6 and dominate the bears the next decade
Of the draft board on the dart board?Bears will take him off their draft board and he'll go to the lions at 6 and dominate the bears the next decade

Seattle might take him at 5 and save the bears. Then lions can lion and take a rotational DT in breseeI am having the feeling this happens as well. Him and Hutch playing next to each other would be scary. Lions also have the capital and roster to take a major risk at 6.
I’m sure Detroit is doing something special, like serving them cadaver kneecaps and seeing if they’re all in on retiring early and never winning a division championship.so they're playing darts and putt-putt with prospects.
