I, too, would be cool with Apple for cheap. The Raiders’ deal for him was already pretty cheap and this news could potentially make him cheaper

 

See I didn't know this, so if you have a good immune system it should prevent it from hitting your lugs ?

 

Omar stinks but this is a good point

this does NOT describe Justin Herbert

 

5 for brissett?

 

Yep. We dont really have full numbers, but, based off labs in countries that have tested a bunch, something like 40-50% of positive cases might not even show symptoms (or something people wouldnt recognize beyond allergies). Then there's a good chunk of people who will get what Randall described. A smaller portion that get what my friend got. But you can be spreading it while not really showing symptoms.

 

This puts me more at ease.

 

should sign his brother already so they can further help the community

 

Arizona Cardinals:

8. Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia
72. Cole Kmet, TE, Notre Dame
114. Tyler Biadasz, IOL, Wisconsin
131. Markus Bailey, LB, Purdue
202. Michael Divinity, LB, LSU
222. Austin Mack, WR, Washington

Why stop with Hopkins? Andrew Thomas locks down the left side of their line (DJ can fuck off back to RT) while Biadasz is a steal in the 4th and can slide right into a guard position. Kmet is an instant upgrade over Maxx Williams. DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk, Andy Isabella and Cole Kmet. Good luck covering that. Austin Mack can come in and compete with Hakeem Butler and Keesean Johnson. All three are high upside depth guys so whoever loses this battle is sure to find a new home very quickly.

Markus Bailey and Michael Divinity add rotational depth to the Cardinals LB group. Divinity is moreso a throwaway pick here, I'm not very high on him but Bailey has potential to be a strong #3 behind Jordan Hicks and De'Vondre Campbell. Bailey has some health concerns but putting those aside, he's an very instinctive player in run support, which should come in handy in a division that plays San Francisco and Seattle twice a year.

Jacksonville Jaguars:

9. Jeffrey Okudah, CB, Ohio State
20. Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU
42. Grant Delpit, S, LSU
73. Rashard Lawrence, DT, LSU
116. Thad Moss, TE, LSU
137. Tyler Johnson, WR, Minnesota
140. Joe Bachie, LB, Michigan State
165. Anfernee Jennings, DE, Alabama
170. Julian Blackmon, S, Utah
189. Trey Adams, OT, Washington
206. Lamar Jackson, CB, Nebraska
223. Raequan Williams, DT, Michigan State

Sign me the fuck up for this right now. The Jags get a blessing by Okudah somehow falling to them. While that doesn't soften the blow of losing Ramsey like we did, it immediately makes up for losing Bouye, who would've been outplayed next to Okudah anyway. They address the run in drafting a surefire starter in Rashard Lawrence as well as a potentially good rotational player in Raequan Williams. Joe Bachie comes in to compete with Leon Jacobs on the strong side. Grant Delpit is a stud and will be one of our defensive leaders while Julian Blackmon comes in as a high upside third safety. Anfernee Jennings is gonna be competing with Duane Smoot. Maybe not the most ideal situation for fans but Smoot/Jennings as a rotational duo with Josh Allen is a solid set up given everything else they've done. Lamar Jackson was best corner available at that point. He's a one trick pony but as far as a 5th or 6th corner goes, you could do worse.

This offense though. Justin Jefferson reunites with DJ Chark to set up Minshew with a dynamite duo. Add in Thad Moss and Tyler Johnson? Fournette, Chark, Jefferson, Johnson, Westbrook, Moss, and Eifert. You've got a stew going. Trey Adams is a risk worth taking at that point. Who knows if he'll be healthy but with this many picks who cares?

Las Vegas Raiders:

12. Henry Ruggs, WR, Alabama
19. Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU
80. Jordan Elliott, DT, Missouri
81. Netane Muti, IOL, Fresno State
91. Jake Fromm, QB, Georgia
121. Brandon Jones, S, Texas
159. Devin Duvernay, WR, Texas

The Raiders get their WR1 and WR2 in one swing. Two promising rookies, a solid sophomore in Hunter Renfrow, two solid vets, and....Zay Jones. Vegas has got a high powered offense in the works here. Netane Muti isn't going to have to play much this year with Incognito still there so he's worth a flier here and worth hoping he can stay healthy. Then there's Jake Fromm. With the rumors of Derek Carr possibly being dealt and the addition of Marcus Mariota, it's clear Gruden has a type.

Jon Gruden likes his defensive line so adding a rotational body in Jordan Elliott makes a lot of sense. Aside from being BPA, it's just smart to have a guy in the wait with Collins and Hurst both having health concerns. Brandon Jones is a solid run defender and could probably start over Jeff Heath sooner rather than later.

Seattle Seahawks:

27. Josh Jones, OT, Houston
59. Matt Hennessy, IOL, Temple
64. Josh Uche, DE, Michigan
101. Bryan Edwards, WR, South Carolina
133. Albert Okwuegbunam, TE, Missouri
144. David Woodward, LB, Utah State
214. Jauan Jennings, WR, Tennessee

Russell Wilson is Asset #1. Any and every move you make should be made through him. He's a Tom Brady/Lebron James level player. What he needs goes. The corpse of Greg Olsen? DJ Fluker? Fucking Cedric Ogbuehi!? Unacceptable. Josh Jones and Matt Hennessy start immediately and improve the Seahawks line instantly. Josh Uche solves their Clowney problem and their bigger LJ Collier problem. Bryan Edwards and Jauan Jennings can provide much needed depth at the receiver position. Al O may be "weak" #Anton but he doesn't have to be anything more than a receiver. David Woodward is an intelligent though not the best athlete but Carroll can get the most out of him.

 

anyone else remember Lendale

 

LenWhale ats

heh

 

Titans lost like 6 in a row after this

 

Damn right they did.

 

Oh are we shitting on the Titans again now? YEAH, freaking LOSERS.

 

Shitans

 

Glad to see I'm not the only one bored lately. I've run like 6 TDN mocks for the Bills in the last couple days. I appreciate how the board always falls differently, and I generally just try to fill needs with BPA without reaching too far down the board.

Draft #1
54. Kyle Dugger, S, Lenoir-Rhyne
86. Chase Claypool, WR, Notre Dame
128. Anthony McFarland, RB, Maryland
167. Anfernee Jennings, EDGE, Alabama
188. Trey Adams, OT, Washington
207. Nevelle Clarke, CB, UCF
239. Robert Landers, IDL, Ohio State

- Bills have done a lot of homework on Dugger and Claypool. I love McFarland as a home-run hitter to pair with Devin Singletary. Jennings has starter upside as a 4-3 DE, Adams has the medical red flags but could be a steal if healthy. Nevelle Clarke has become a favorite late round target for me at CB based on his scouting reports/upside, and Robert Landers seems like kind of an Ed Oliver build type DT so I just took a flyer.

Draft #2
54. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, LSU
86. Bryce Hall, CB, Virginia
128. Lynn Bowden, WR, Kentucky
167. Cameron Clark, OT, Charlotte
188. DJ Wonnum, EDGE, South Carolina
207. Justin Strnad, LB, Wake Forest
239. James Proche, WR, SMU

- CEH gets Singletary comparisons so I don't think he's really the best fit for the Bills but I took him anyway. The Bills have done a lot of homework on Bryce Hall. Definitely a character/scheme fit there. Lynn Bowden probably gets OC Brian Daboll all sorts of worked up, considering he's a bigger/more exciting version of current gadget guy Isaiah McKenzie. The rest of the guys are just filling needs, not overly excited about them but just plugged holes.

Draft #3
54. JK Dobbins, RB, Ohio State
86. Rashard Lawrence, DT, LSU
128. Lynn Bowden, WR, Kentucky
167. Harrison Bryant, TE, FAU
188. Michael Divinity Jr., LB, LSU
207. Nevelle Clarke, CB, UCF
239. Gage Cervenka, IOL, Clemson

- Definitely my favorite one, even taking out the fact that Dobbins is never making it to 54. Lawrence would be Star Lotulelei's replacement. See Draft #2 for Bowden and #1 for Clarke. The Bills have done homework on Harrison Bryant too and he'd be a potentially exciting guy to pair up with Dawson Knox at TE. Divinity Jr. is a good fit for the 4-3 SAM spot vacated by Lorenzo Alexander's retirement (AJ Klein is meh), and Cervenka is a perfect developmental guy that fits their mold for IOL (they also drafted converted DT Wyatt Teller so they have no issue with a raw IOL who is ungodly strong).

 

I'd pass on him, the dude stinks imo.

 

That's why you sign him for cheap. Per PFF, Apple’s 0.87 yards allowed per coverage snap in press at outside corner ranked 13th in the NFL in 2019. I get that he hasn't had a good career to this point, but the dude is only 24 and worth taking a shot on on a one-year deal to see if you can get even middle-of-the-road play from him like the Saints got by trading for him and pairing him with some good defensive backs.

Eagles won't do it though because Howie is infatuated with giving Maddox the other starting outside corner job despite his 5'9/183 frame getting absolutely throttled by D.K. Metcalf in the playoffs.

 

I'm good with what they have now, unless they draft someone and they probably will. Eli Apple does absolutely nothing for me.

 

Idk if you've listened to Howie's latest press conference, but I am not expecting them to draft CB high after their moves in free agency and what Howie had to say of Maddox. Maybe they'll used their third one comp pick on the position, but I will not be surprised if they don't take a CB until day three.

 

Oh I'm definitely not expecting them to take one high, I'm actually on the take Patrick Queen at 21 if he's available and go WR round 2.

 

Eli Apple sucks but yeah I think taking a 1 year shot at him is fine if you're Philly

 

I was rooting for Apple to fall to the Steelers in that draft. Thank goodness we got Artie Burns instead
