They were ranking the picks in the draft. Not surprisingly, they weren't excited about the Bears taking Trubisky, but wow, did they miss on this one: Reveal hidden contents 10. Patrick Mahomes, QB Texas Tech — Kansas City Chiefs (from Buffalo) Grade: C- Analysis: Calling Mahomes a project is a major understatement. He’s nowhere near ready to play in the NFL. And, honestly, he may never be. Between his inconsistent accuracy due to poor mechanics, his tendency to bail from clean pockets and his lack of field vision, he’s going to leave as many big plays on the field as he creates. This was a risky pick. The worst thing about that trade is that Pace gave up 3 picks to move down 1 spot. S.F was going to draft Solomon Thomas either way, they were just telling our dumb GM that other teams were talking to them about that pick. Bears gave up 67th and 111th as well as next years 3rd rounder, fun fact, S.F traded that pick to Saints and they drafted some guy by the name of Alvin Kamara. Watson was the best qb on paper in that draft, 4 year starter and won a championship. So to give all that to draft Trubisky who started for only 1 year was absolutely asinine. Now they are talking about trying to trade for Watson, I mean wtf! Probably cost them another 2 first round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went from the butt of so many jokes to greatly respected by viewers. I wouldn't be suprised if Romo is this era's John Madden. He was an OK quarterback but Romo is undeniable the best in his field. In his 2nd year, he pretty much became the A-team of CBS with Jim Nance and calling the superbowl which is incredible 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the deal wouldve been better had Goff not been part of the deal. Goff is going to take a lot of their cap, and I don't think hes as talented as people think he is. Sean McVay would basically tell him who to throw to when the headsets were on. Matt Stafford is going to do really well in LA, finally he gets a defence and a running game with McVay coaching him up. If healthy Im predicting a career year for Stafford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 7 per Schefter: Jared Goff was Rams last 1st-round pick in 2016; since then, they’ve traded away their next 7 1st-round picks: •2017: Traded to Titans •2018: Traded to Pats •2019: Traded to Falcons •2020: Traded to Jags •2021: Traded to Jags •2022: Traded to Lions •2023: Traded to Lions Edited February 1, 2021 by NucksPatsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 does their amateur scouting suck so bad the GM decides to do trades? If so, why not fix the scouting dept? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 The thing that gets me is. In the NFL, you have players that have track records in College. Usually players are there for 2-4 years. So when they graduate they are 22 years old. So you get a decent idea what kind of player you have. Some players take more time to develop. But unlike hockey, you've got a far better idea what kind of player you have. Now football is tough, you could be a hall of fame QB, and get wiped out in a tackle and mess up your shoulder and your career is gone. But you'd think scouting in football would be easier than hockey. But clearly some GM's and scouts are far better than others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you'd think scouting in football would be easier than hockey. But clearly some GM's and scouts are far better than others. The difference, in my opinion, is a scouts ability to differentiate between "what are they missing that can be taught" and "what are they missing that can't be taught". Ie. DK Metcalf. In a re-draft he's a top 10 pick, but he fell because he "can't run anything but a go route". The ability to see that he's got all the raw tools that can't be taught, combined with route running, which can be taught, will result in a freak of a #1 WR. Also, I think some scouts, though they won't admit it, have a "big school" bias and can't accurately scout a really good player on a really bad team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Awful tragedy for a young football fan, but a great gesture by the Falcons' Grady Jarrett: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2930043-grady-jarrett-nfl-sending-taeden-johnson-to-super-bowl-after-family-tragedy?utm_source=cnn.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=editorial Quote Atlanta Falcons star Grady Jarrett is partnering with his franchise and the NFL to send a 12-year-old fan to the Super Bowl in Tampa Bay, Florida, this weekend. The defensive end surprised Taeden Johnson of Athens, Georgia, with two tickets to what will be his first NFL game after the Falcons fan lost three family members in a mobile home fire Jan. 27, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco. Johnson was able to escape to a neighbor's home and call 911 before he ran back to help his mother, grandmother and younger sister, who died in the fire. Now, Jarrett is leading the effort to help bring Johnson to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs battle for the Lombardi Trophy. Per DiRocco, the Falcons are stepping in to provide transportation and lodging accommodations for the weekend as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young guy just lost some of his family less than two weeks ago. Let him have time to grieve and then do something major for him. He'll probably be in a better position to enjoy it then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for telling us who we should cheer for. “Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
