    We’ve need a guy with great hands for YEARS. Not even Ty had decent hands. This kid has a 98.3 percent contested catch rate and a 2 percent drop rate. Most of the bigger faster guys were in the 15-20 percent drop rate and low 70s in contested catches. 
     

    he may not have burner speed but he’s fast side to side and makes people miss. That’s the key

    I would wholeheartedly agree with this. Especially for the team's slot receivers, the need to be able to complete the catch and take a 7 yard pick up and make it 11 yards and a 1st down has been lacking for a LONG time(maybe all the way back to Anthony Gonzalez). Downs knows how to get open and secure the ball, that's going to be a big help to this offense and maybe the most impactful pick for this season.

    what did we get in retun for the 5th round trade with vikings?

    Vikings RECEIVE:

    Round 5, 2023: No. 141 (from Raiders) -- NT Jaquelin Roy

     

    Colts RECEIVE:

    Round 5, 2023: No. 158

    Round 6, 2023: No. 211 (compensatory selection)

  3. I think when you get invested in player review over a 4 month period(or longer) people will get passionate about their player.

     

    I've been critical of Ballard in the past(and probably will be in the future), and while we may have different opinions about the players selected, the positions selected were big needs for this team and I think that's building a lot of consensus on rating this draft.

    He's been available for quite a while and the Ravens haven't received a single call from any other NFL team.  For him to sign - ANYWHERE - he's going to have to reduce his $$ requirements.

    We'll see, but in the worst case scenario he gets $32M from the franchise tag

    Packers kinda got hosed.  A pick swap, then a non guaranteed future #1.  Yuck.

    I disagree, especially since that escalator to move up to 1 is pretty easily attainable. To me the only way that trade is worth it to the Jets is a super bowl next year or 2-3 years of afc championship.

    I don't think I posted in this thread, but for the record I was not high on Josh Allen in the draft. I was obviously wrong. With that said, I think it would have been insane to draft him while we still had Luck. 

    It for sure would have been a tough sell, especially with Allen sitting on the bench during Luck's 2018 season. Thumbs up for the OP's call though.

    SO. We need to win out, and then TN needs to lose the next two games cuz they aren't losing to Houston week 18. They play the 49ers and the Dolphins. There is a fair shot they lose both those games assuming Henry doesn't magically reappear. There is now a light at the end of the tunnel for the division race!

    I'm still not optimistic about it, that's a lot of losing for Tennessee...but if they keep turning the ball over like they did today then yeah! 4 turnovers to 0 is just ridiculous

    Very doubtful the Bengals are interested in trading the top pick or passing on him.  They need a QB.  He’s an Ohio kid.  Perfect guy to be the face of their franchise.

    Exactly. Bengals wouldn't do that deal for 10 1st round picks, he is going to be that valuable to the franchise. This is beyond the field, kid is universally lived in Ohio. Bengals need to put butts in seats, their home attendance was horrible this year. 

     

    People think Mike Brown isapathetic to what the team does, but he cares considerably what happens to the team financially

    Only according to the “Cain fan club.”

     

    He was a 6th Rd pick for more reasons than weed. 
     

    He is currently not lighting it up in Pitt! 

    You are forgetting all of that talk the coaching staff had for him....for 4 days ....in training camp 2018. That is worth at least a 3 round bump up!
