On top of a hill in the desert? You have worse taste than Mark lol.
That's a cool house for where it is.

I’ve done the beach maybe not at that level though… But the style of that house is right up my alley. Fucking underground passage to the garage and guest house! Hell ya!

I’d plop that thing just outside Asheville

Every time I look out west and think Hmmm maybe… I then realize it’s just desert, rocks and pine forest. Like where the hell is the actual green other than parts of Oregon and Washington. Having lived all my life on the EC I don’t think I would get used to seeing so much bare rock and barren ground.

If I had the cash I'd just buy one of those SoCal beachfront houses with the rooftop decks. I remember Tony Gonzalez did an episode of MTV Cribs back in the day and he had one and I've wanted a house like that ever since. Nothing fancy, really. Just the ocean and a rooftop deck.

I lived ocean front for a short period of time. It was cool for a while but wore off for me. The No-See-Um’s would wear you out early in the morning and even late evenings. I had an old GF whose parents lived on the inter coastal and for me that was near perfection. (Less bugs) Just something so calming for me about hearing boats go by in the evening or early mornings. When I was a kid we had a lake house in NH on Lake Winnipesaukee and have missed living that way ever since.

The part about competing sides of the building with the dumb HC who has proven time and time again he had no clue on personnel being in charge of everything while Mark sleeps in and isn't involved in anything was pretty scathing. But we kind of knew all this. It's why you hope Spytek can do way better than last spring in this upcoming draft. Otherwise, we're still going to eventually be fucked.

Spytek is doing better already with:
- one year of experience
- no longer having to defer to an experienced SB winning coach

It’s his show now.

TBD until we see how the rosters come together the next couple of years but cautiously optimistic.

There’s truth to that, especially as to FA, where there should be less guess work. As to the draft, many things affect performance versus expectations: concensus view, actual talent, mental ability to adapt/convert from college game to NFL, coaching, scheme fit overtime, etc. Because of all the variables, I don’t put bad drafting just on the GM. It’s one reason why I think it’s okay to judge a draft class based on information then-available, even after the draft.

For example, the RB debate does not depend on performance. It’s a low value position group regardless.

Bech was a reach even had he performed better. That he didn’t is the downside of trading down, picking for need.

SpyGuy ended up with two extra comp 3rds, which was a plus regardless of spend. He then spent the picks on the OL—ending position runs at both OT and OG. To me, he played that well. I’m optimistic about both picks.

I’m goofy for measurables, so Porter in the 3rd and Thornton in the 4th worked for me. Hemingway was a reach but apparently fit what the D wanted and Pegues was a Day 3 steal (for whatever that’s worth). Missing on 6th and 7th round picks is immaterial.

This year, I doubt 10 rookies make the team even if they all play well. We already have a young team. I’d rather end up with 8 better players. That’s going to affect my overall view of the class.

This is information we have available after the draft: You literally didnt want to change a single pick from what Spytek did and gave him a perfect A+ grade.

Hopefully some of those guys can play. I think most of the day 3 guys are cut already or will be soon.

  • 1.3: Jeanty—nailed it
  • 2.37: 100% on board with Spyguy’s 2 trades down; I wanted Porter (CB) and Thornton (WR), who we still landed, and Spyguy added multiple picks in the process
  • 2.58: Bech—not 2nd guessing Spyguy/Carroll/Chip here b/c we landed Thornton giving us a two-fer at a position of need
  • 3.68: Porter—nailed it
  • 3.98: Rogers—100% on board with investing in OL with back-to-back 3rds. Spyguy clearly targeted Rogers to convert to OG in Chip’s O. Next OG was not taken until the 5th round—evidencing lack of OG talent. Tried to draft DT D. Walker but @Crow veto’d the pick
  • 3.99: Grant—nailed it. IDK if this small college LT converts to NFL but I bought into the hype as him being the best LT in this class in 3-4 years
  • 4.108: Thornton—nailed it. He’ll almost assuredly disappoint but I’m fool for H/W/S
  • 4.135: C. Jackson—NT #Beaf
  • 6.180: Pegues—I’ll take the flyer on Pegues and double dip on plus sized DT
  • 2.213: Mellott—on board with this flyer
  • 2.218: Miller—needed a developmental QB
  • 2.222: Lindenberg—we need LB help

I’m not so arrogant to think I’m smarter than NFL GMs, even those wearing S&B. Also, the team being like my client, there is an inherent conflict of interest you’re forgetting.

Even though Membou was my first choice due to position value, I had no problem getting the top rated player in the draft at 1.6. As to the rest of my comments, I stand by them. Which one(s) offend you?

You definitely are not.

I think this last year is as much proof of that as anyone could ever ask for or look over.

And Membou wasnt your first choice. You were all over Jeanty as soon as the whispers started. There are a couple hundred poop emojis to prove that.
