I'm fine with not spending a draft pick for a 3rd string RB. The OL sucks at run blocking and we run the ball less than just about anyone. Just don't see the value when we've got so many questionable starters penciled in right now. Throw 2-3 UDFA's into training camp and keep whichever one excels. Most overrated position in football TBH.

No, see, this is all part of some 5D chess master plan, he's definitely not a petulant man-child with dementia breaking shit in a tantrum because his diaper needs changed & he doesn't understand how anything works. We just have to be patient while the Very Stable Genius fixes everything, by doing things like placing tariffs on islands inhabited only by penguins. They're probably liberals, you just don't understand.

Shit.. the only people happy with this right now are the ones too stupid to understand it (and our enemies of course.)

Giving up seems to be a recurring draft strategy. It's crazy how risk-averse they can be when the personal consequences of being wrong are basically nothing. What's the worst that could happen, they have to fire another assistant coach?

OK buddy. Explain to me what a tariff is and who pays them. The floor is yours.

In case anyone's wondering where our Great Leader is today as the stock market goes into free fall, he's headed to his golf club then on to Mar-a-Lardass for the weekend.

The counterargument seems to be that they weren't 100% guaranteed to sign someone better than Volson, so why even try? If that sounds complacent or even pathetic, well.. I agree.

I mean, in fairness, it's much easier not to do all that. It's all luck anyway, right?

Who would've thought Palmer's career high point would be throwing 4 interceptions with AZ against Carolina in an NFCC? He can shit on the Bengals organization all he wants but that epic choke job had nothing to do with Cincinnati.

Yes that was one of the Raider's traded picks. Gio was drafted with their 2nd rounder the following year.

Yes, Dre "Trill Swag Yolo 3000" Kirkpatrick was drafted ahead of him at 17.

I think if they made a depth chart today it would be Patrick & Ford at guard. Further speculating they draft another guard but even so that's only 4 on the roster. Paying Volson just shy of $4M as a backup sounds bad but we can't rule out starting him or doing that Little League shit again where they take turns. Yes that's insane for an NFL team but it wouldn't be the first time. I'd say a competent FO would've cut him along with Cappa, knowing worst case scenario is they ultimately end up with someone just as bad but for a fraction of the cost. Instead they chose not to try, and that's puzzling. They do seem to love their "no business being in the NFL but he tries really hard" types, though. For whatever reason, he's still on the team despite having every opportunity to replace him.

Trading down for more picks would make sense given the minimal FA additions and the remaining holes in the roster. A 2nd round guard is likely still starter quality. A 2nd round DE though, that's more into the Ossai/Sample rotational type player. Of course there are exceptions but there will probably be at least twice as many DEs drafted ahead of us than guards. Once again they're drafting for immediate starters.. My guess is they'll get one of the two. The other spot? Well that's just bad luck.

Make America Great Depression Again

Isn't the CBA deal that he could play only half the season & still be a FA next year?
