  1. Not sure why Tee would be frustrated with other tagged players getting deals. Perhaps they accepted fair amounts instead of asking for too much?
  2. If there was one area I would change it’s the constant picking of shit OL and trying to make them good.
  3. I did not know Harvey Korman did the voice! That would be a prize winning trivia question in a pub quiz.
  4. Yup, that is actually where the saying comes from! Fonzi in his leather jacket water ski jumping over the sharks
  5. The Great Gazoo, when The Flinstones jumped the shark.
  6. Yes, the news feeds now say the uincident occurred at 4:41 AM but he was charged at 2 pm
  7. What does this mean for his draft stock? Despite an All-American 2023 season, Sweat entered the draft process with several questions to answer in NFL team interviews. According to a team source, he was up front with teams about his “partying” as an underclassman and made it a point of emphasis to teams that it was all in the past. A DWI charge three weeks before draft weekend obviously won’t help give NFL teams confidence about his off-field decision-making and focus. Because of these concerns, Sweat is a very hard player to project in the NFL Draft. Based on feedback from teams, my best guess is he will still be available as we start day three of the NFL Draft in the fourth round. — Dane Brugler, national NFL writer
  8. Not the plan if the guy is lazy but yeah that would normally be the plan
  9. It will hard for teams to imagine this is behind him when he is making millions per year. I am willing to bet he is now OFF many teams boards.
  10. I am sure his agent will be in contact with teams to do damage control
  11. "Off the field, team sources say Sweat is a good kid overall, but has some issues with a poor work ethic and likes to party. Sweat is going to have to work much harder in the NFL and definitely will have to keep his weight in check."
  12. Many sights have noted he had some questions about his dedication. The DUI situation is even worse given it happened at 2 in the afternoon. His character flags are well known in the draft pages, whether they are all true or not.
  13. Bo Callahan had character concerns. These days, teams have to be very careful with prospects who have shown immaturity (for the record, at that age I was VERY immature, thankfully there were no cell phones in the day). Given the money awarded players they need to be fully committed to football and to the craft of thier position. Maybe Sweat is, maybe he is not. But even earlier in the year there were flags raised about his weight and 'party' habits. Problem is, he can come out and say he made a mistake and learned his lesson, blah, blah, blah. But he has no chance to provie it before the draft. It is literally an idiot move he made. As in dumbass. I say he will fall to at least round 3 and perhaps further. Could be wrong, one team could take an earlier gamble.
  14. One was an allegattion, this one may be fact. If it turns out to be all true, I suspect he falls to the 5th round
  15. My memory may be making this up, but it seems to me that this is the first year we have had this heavy a presence of OL/DL in our 30 prospect visits?
  16. Except the 2nd rounder is in 2025 so that loses a round via time. And the Bills give a pick back so really the compensation wa quite light. The Bills cap hit was HIGHER by trading him than playing him, so they really wanted him gone.
  17. I am not sure he is fully committed to football via weight management. He may be another Andre Smith type. SOme teams may fiund him a bit too riky in round 2 whcih is why some sites have him more of a 3rd round guy. 1st round talent but you had better be very sure of his committment.
  18. As the 2024 NFL Draft class continues to take shape, it’s time again to take stock of which prospects are dominating the early-round conversation. The Athletic’s consensus Big Board combines rankings from a wide range of draft experts to identify how the top prospects are viewed relative to the rest of their class. In theory, by the time we reach the draft weekend, these rankings should help give us a handle on how the picks could (or, at least, should) play out. Let’s see how things have shifted since our March board. 2024 NFL Draft Consensus Board PLAYER POS SCHOOL LAST CHANGE 1 Caleb Williams QB USC 2 1 2 Marvin Harrison Jr. WR Ohio State 1 -1 3 Drake Maye QB North Carolina 3 0 4 Malik Nabers WR LSU 4 0 5 Rome Odunze WR Washington 5 0 6 Brock Bowers TE Georgia 6 0 7 Joe Alt OT Notre Dame 7 0 8 Dallas Turner EDGE Alabama 8 0 9 Jayden Daniels QB LSU 9 0 10 Jared Verse EDGE Florida State 10 0 11 Olu Fashanu OT Penn State 11 0 12 JC Latham OT Alabama 12 0 13 Terrion Arnold CB Alabama 13 0 14 Laiatu Latu EDGE UCLA 16 2 15 Quinyon Mitchell CB Toledo 15 0 16 Taliese Fuaga G/T Oregon State 14 -2 17 Troy Fautanu OT Washington 17 0 18 Byron Murphy II DT Texas 18 0 19 Amarius Mims OT Georgia 19 0 20 Brian Thomas Jr. WR LSU 20 0 21 J.J.

How high can Jackson Powers-Johnson climb? Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson holds steady at No. 30 on the consensus board, which means most everyone agrees he’s at least first-round worthy. But, given that there are a few teams in Round 1 in need of a center, the big question with him is: How early will he hear his name called? ADVERTISEMENT Since 2000, only nine centers have been drafted before pick 25, the last three being Cesar Ruiz (No. 24, New Orleans in 2020), Garrett Bradbury (No. 18, Minnesota in 2019) and Frank Ragnow (No. 18, Detroit in 2018). The Saints just extended Ruiz, Bradbury has 71 career starts and Ragnow is an All-Pro, so it’d be hard to argue against the value of those selections. Baltimore also picked Tyler Linderbaum at No. 25 in 2022, and he’s already a Pro Bowler. Center may not be a popular pick with fans, but it can absolutely be worth it if the player’s good enough. The tricky thing with Powers-Johnson is his lack of experience. He started one year at center in college and won a Rimington Trophy, and he looked outstanding at the Senior Bowl, to a point where I’m not sure he lost a single one-on-one rep. But the samples aren’t large. I do think he’ll go higher than No. 30, though. Keep an eye on Pittsburgh, which needs a center and holds pick 20. It only takes one team. 2. Trey Benson on the rise The highest riser in this installment was Florida State running back Trey Benson (up 15 spots to No. 70), perhaps earning some residuals from his combine performance early last month. Benson, at 216 pounds, ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash (with a 1.52 10-yard split). He also posted a 33 1/2-inch vertical jump and a broad jump of 10 feet, 2 inches. There’s nothing super surprising about any of that, as Benson’s athleticism at his size has always stood out on tape. But it does bring up the question of how things will unfold for this running back class come draft weekend. The best of the bunch, Texas’ Jonathon Brooks, is coming off an injury and doesn’t have a deep tape resume. And there are questions with every back in the class — Benson’s a great athlete, but teams might have concerns with his vision as a ball carrier; Bucky Irvin is incredibly elusive, but he’s very small. We could go down the list. ADVERTISEMENT Same time, Benson, Brooks, Irving, Blake Corum, Braelon Allen and Jaylen Wright all could enter a backfield and make an impact next year. Don’t be shocked if we see a RB run on Day 2. 3. Kamren Kinchens slides Miami safety Kamren Kinchens turned in a disappointing 4.65 40 at the combine in March. He did improve on that time with a reported 4.57 during Miami’s pro day later in the month, but he dropped eight spots on the consensus board anyway. Though his 40 time isn’t irrelevant, it’s also important to point out that Kinchens’ efficiency as a coverage defender on tape is more impressive than his testing. He showed really good ball skills and range as a deep rover for the Hurricanes and was never afraid to go after the big play (or hit). In November, Kinchens became the first Miami player to record 10 career interceptions since the late great Sean Taylor (Kinchens finished with 11). Elite company there. No one expected Kinchens to burn up the track with his 40 time, and he’s got the ball skills and physical confidence to play either safety spot. This is one where you trust the tape (and your defensive backs coach). If Kinchens can eliminate some of the riskier stuff from his game, he has what he needs to be a really good player in the NFL. 4. Too high, too low … Two guys I think are ranked too high on this board: Dallas Turner (No. 😎 and Michael Penix Jr. (No. 40). I like Turner as the top edge in this class, but not as the top defender overall (his Alabama teammate, cornerback Terrion Arnold, gets my vote there). As for Penix, I just can’t get there on him as a top-50 prospect this year, even with the impressive 4.46 40 he reportedly put up. Two guys I think are ranked too low: Powers-Johnson (see above) and Florida State wide receiver Keon Coleman (see last month’s consensus board write-up).
