    I know you love the guy but these are so Cousins-like:

     

    Quote

    The tampering was clear and obvious. At his introductory press conference, Cousins himself admitted to multiple circumstances that violated the rules that apply during the negotiating window that precedes the official start of free agency. He said he spoke with the team’s head athletic trainer during the negotiating window. He apparently spoke with director of player personnel Ryan Pace before the official launch of the league year.

     

    Cousins also was directly involved in recruiting former Bears receiver Darnell Mooney to Atlanta, an Inception-style instance of tampering within tampering. And Cousins admitted that Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts had been actively recruiting Cousins for multiple weeks, conduct which becomes a violation if the recruiting happens with the knowledge or at the direction of the team.

    Yeah, but the tampering here has just so much blatant acts and even admitted acts.

     

     

    I think the punishment will be substantial here.

     

    Cardinals got to swap 3rds for coach tampering, where I don't think there was quite as much evidence as here?

     

    Really think the Vikings might get the 8th pick here and the Falcons end up with the 11th.

     

     

    Would be huge for Minnesota.

     

    #8 and #23 is almost enough for #3 on the chart. And only dropping to #8 is a big win for whoever is trading down from 3rd to 5th picks.

     

     

    Really not much else out there Minnesota doesn't have a pick till the 4th round after #23.

     

    So unless they make Atlanta give them a 2nd or 3rd in a swap for a 4th?

     

    IDK?

     

    While I thought there may be punishment for the Falcons, I did not think the Vikings would benefit in any way. In the past, teams have forfeited picks, no? I remember the Patriots forfeiting a pick but I cannot recall why. This was a few years ago.

     

    If we do swap with the Falcons, it does not hurt the Falcons much but it does help the Vikings. I would rather stay at 8 and see what is there. I don't like mortgaging the future for a player.

    When I see this and think about how Ballard talked about his coaches needing to have a plan for how they can utilize the players, Bowers is the guy that pops into my head. Plus Bowers doesn’t stop you from still adding to the receiver room later in the draft.

     

    I have the Colts pick down to 5-6 players and Bowers is still one of them

     

    1. Quinyon Mitchell, CB

    2. Brian Thomas Jr., WR

    3. Brock Bowers, TE

    4. Jared Verse, Edge

    5. Cooper DeJean, CB

    6. Xavier Worthy, WR

     

    Zach Hicks brought up on Twitter that last season was the first that Steichen didn’t have a high level TE. I know there’s optimism for Woods, but Bowers is a matchup nightmare who they can move all over the place.

    This site will be so happy to get Bowers.

    I've been picking for Colts in Vikings forum Mock Draft that started last night, and we had 2 rounds completed.

     

    I picked TE Brock Bowers in round 1 and S Kamren Kinchens in round 2, didn't get to trade up or down, so I'm probably gonna let the board fall and pick the best player available.

     

    5 QBs were taken in 1st round, there was a run on OTs and top 3 WRs, and 2 Edge rushers. 0 CBs and 0 DTs were taken when I was on clock, so all of them were available. Edge Latu was also available among others. I went with Bowers as that'd be rare opportunity to get an  explosive, potential elite weapon on offense.

     

    By Colts pick in round 2, there was a huge run on CBs, OTs and OG/Cs, and S Nubin was also taken. All of the other top WRs were also taken, and I was eyeing on Ladd McConkey who just went a pick prior to Colts, otherwise I'd have taken him, even if that meant going offensive playmakers back to back.

     

    I didn't like many of the other receivers or DL players available, as I had lower grade for them for #46, Ricky Pearsall and Mike Sainristil were there , other players available were TJ Tampa, two other top LBs who I considered, DT T'Vondre Sweat was also available... Among Safeties, only Nubin had been taken already at that point, so all other Safeties were there.

     

    I considered between Kinchens and Bullard, both of whom I liked, but eventually thought Kinchens' versatility in playing different positions would suit Colts defense better. 

     

    Rounds 3 and 4 tonight...

     

    Let me know what you think I could've done or you'd have done, that'd help me target in upcoming rounds. 

     

    You should share the link so that folks can see how people are selecting.

     

    I picked for the Giants and Titans. I had my first round picks lined up -- Nabers for the Giants and Alt for the Titans. Both were taken earlier.

     

    My picks:

    Giants:

    Jayden Daniels in 1st

    Roman Wilson in 2nd

    Calen Bullock, S, in 3rd to replace Xavier McKinney (I wanted Blake Fisher to address OL, but he was drafted a pick or two ahead)

    Caelen Carson, CB, Wake Forest in 4th

     

    Titans:

    Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn St in 1st

    Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon in 2nd

    Austin Booker, EDGE, Kansas in 3rd (moved up from pick 106 to 92 to make that pick)

  4. I wrote a comment earlier but I must not have pressed "submit". :(

     

    I believe they all would have played but they would have to adjust how they played.

     

    For me, Romo was the worst. I thought he should have been banned for some of what he did. I think he ended the career of a teammate.

     

    Jack Tatum and some of the others played before I started watching football. From what I read, he fit the description of a dirty player.

     

    I always disliked Rodney Harrison for his play. He seemed to always make extra hard hits. Burfict played like he had CTE -- he seemed out of control. He missed a lot of time because of his dirty plays. I would not be surprised to learn that he has CTE.

     

    Roy Williams does not come to mind at all. I have to search a picture. I keep envisioning the WR Roy Williams.

     

    I don't recall Bob Sanders or Jared Allen as dirty players.

    If the Vikings get that 4th pick, a lot of Vikings will be extremely happy @NFLfanwho would you take at 4?

     

    I don't want to move up if we have to give up another first round pick in 2025. If we move up and give up only #23 and #11 this year, then I would like that. I like Daniels. I like Nabers and Odunze too but we don't need a WR.
