People had a habit of “bookending” people’s tie breaker guess. Usually it was Oldschooler. Someone would pick, say, 132 as their tie breaker and then 2 people would pick 131 and 133. To prevent this, I added a rule that if someone picked 131 to a 132 no one could guess closer than 143.

20 years and people still can't follow the same directions we've had for all 20 years

We weren't allowed to help? I know Mike was upset he lied to him, but I didn't know we were prevented from getting him help. The Rams just did that for Stetson Bennett who spent last year getting treatment for his alcoholism.

Rats..was going to change my pick to Bo Callahan

This reminds me once again of Odell, specifically how we were fully prevented from helping him in any way once suspended. It's a different era now, but that will always bother me when I think about it.

This isn't necessarily the case, remember that we're now into the "covid kids", the ones who likely stayed another year to recover the one they lost. It might just be that there's so many of those it wasn't expedient to come out early this year unless you are *really* confident.

And complain and whine bitterly about being interfered with while doing so,

i know he’s had a pretty big injury history, but I was a big Erick All fan at Michigan… if healthy, he’s a talented TE who can run and catch the ball. And Josh Cepheus comes from a good college program that has brought guys like Marcus Davenport and Tariq Wollen to the NFL. He’s got good size and he’s a sharp kid. Doesn’t have great timed speed but he’s similar to Tee Higgins, who had a similar profile coming out of college. Would be s solid day 3 pick.

Well..... Its the Broncos..😎

paid by the word.

Given the absolute thieves the bengals have become trying to steal my tickets, games i cannot make, i will have for sale at face value or REALLY close, at minimum way cheaper than market value. So if you need a pair or two pairs, let me know, I am in section 111 and 106, behind the bengals sideline/bench. figured id post it so its on peoples minds when the season hits. Ill post week by week or as I know my travel plans as they arrive.

yea im so grumpy i pay the little extra to skip the commercials, they almost seem worse placed than regular commercial breaks, its not quite like they interupt a sentence in a show for the ad but sometimes it feels like it, same with youtube, pay for the premium to not have ads. youre paying with your time or with your wallet, either way your paying. I am glad hulu is a solid product, they were all so sketchy 3-4 years ago, but most seems good now. I onder if we ever get to an a la carte style or if everything keeps bundling to mimic the cable packages we escaped to begin with. sounds like the sports leagues realized they were CARRYING some cable network packages and can get a GIANT increase in cut revenue per customer to the pennies they got for cable packages. which im all for it. MLB.tv is like $100/year for reds, like a dollar a game. NBA is $15/mo, so about a dollar a game, NFL is like $20/game, but whose not gonna pay it? so few games so important each, people can miss a month of baseball and be fine, missing a week of NBA games and be fine.. missing a weekly football game can change a season..

Not looking to get in now, but can you explain the bookend rule again?

Contest is now completely closed.

Suarez had a hell of a night for them

The vertical and broad jumps are measures of explosion, ie leg strength. Some O-line gurus focus on the agility drills as key. There's a pretty good trend of interior O-linemen with high percentiles on the 3 cone drill doing well in the NFL.

Is he calling the 2024 class the best in recent memory? If so, he sounds "business drunk". Most years the first round is dominated by early entry players. This year there were only 58 early entries, less than half as many as in recent years. So the draft pool is thin, down more than 60 top prospects. That's why a piece I saw in The Athletic this morning quoted some NFL guy as saying this draft was only 150 players deep by regular standards. Though all 257 picks will be used, the last hundred or so are players who may well have gone undrafted in an average year.

I always wonder what good vertical leap measurements are for an OL?

Maybe. Gesicki is the replacement for Irv Smith. Hudson and Sample are back. I think Schreck is still around too. I'd guess 3 TEs on the 53 plus 1, maybe 2 on the PS. So it wouldn't be a surprise to draft a TE, the team probably doesn't see it as a priority. Though I'd be pissed off is Bowers is available at 18 and they take someone else.

@JungleJohn I will give you until 8 pm to add your tie breaker guess.

Saw this on YT. Hot off the presses…

There have been some misses at Alabama for sure. Not just at OL… the “topped out” argument has been used with Alabama players, regardless of position, for awhile. Some of it is valid, some not. UGA has had some recently 1st round OL guys who haven’t panned out too… Wynn is just OK, Wilson washed out, Andrew Thomas has been up and down (although was on the rise before he got hurt), and Broderick Thomas is a work in progress. Latham isn’t a pristine prospect, he’s had some bad tape… as you noted, he struggled some vs. Michigan, in particular. But his body of work in the SEC and what it appears the Bengals are looking for at T seems to be a good fit. I doubt he’d be a home run, but I think he’d be a good, solid starter who, if need be, could also play G. I just like his game, but again, not sure he’ll even be there.

Man I want Sinnott, if he could be had in round 4...but someone could take him before that. Idk if round 3 is good value

Good luck Mitchell
