It reminds me of the 2020 draft. Just so much going on and a lot of teams sick of mediocrity ready to be relevant again.

I don’t think so either. He’s learned to be patient, perhaps even to a fault. It is a positive for Chris that he has Irsay to work with and bounce ideas. Jim has a lot more experience with how to run a team properly compared to a lot of other owners. The Chiefs ownership for example is simply lucky that they scored a GM, HC, QB trio of perfection. Yet the dude hawks the Lombardi as if he did all the work.

Ballard trades out of the 1st round and the forum completely implodes on itself like a dying star.

I would imagine in that scenario Ballard would once again have a bit of a mulligan if the situation were to go south down the road…

My bold-ish prediction: Nabers gets taken before Harrison Jr.

Well you don’t have to worry too much. The Irsay daughters are very involved and seem to be learning as much as possible.

This is a bit believable because last year was one of the worst years for QB injuries derailing seasons. Any team that has their “guy” but is shaky at OT needs to be looking hard at this draft.

It's only a stupid move if it fails. If the player succeeds then it's a genius move. Such is the way of life and judgement of the public.

Cards are exactly that. I never, ever count them out. All they need is one good hot streak in the summer and they're right back into the mix. Always seems to happen in July!

This is probably the strongest I've seen the Central division in my lifetime. I feel like any of these teams could beat any other team in the country on a good night.

Ah gotcha, yeah the helmets are decent.

I actually kind of don’t like them. Too Atlanta Falcon looking to me…

Correct. The Colts are a tightly run ship.

No worries, mate.

That was sort of my earlier argument some posts back. My biggest point being that having actual experience playing football or being around football itself is going to have a larger impact and receive more consideration.

I think someone working in sales would have a better shot than someone who only plays Madden.

The best move Chicago could do is get an OT to protect their new asset I think.

Alrighty. I don’t see it happening but if it does good on him/her.

I don’t like betting, but I would bet the reason those future kids end up working in the NFL has more to do with actually having experience in the sport vs. playing Madden.

He was a QB in high school. He switched to WR in college… he then coached for years in Texas. He had experience playing the game.

I’m stereotyping the game actually.

It means they’re more qualified than someone who’s never played the sport. You need people skills to manage people. Madden does not require people skills.

Players with actual experience. You’re missing the biggest piece to this: humanism. Playing a video game is passive, there’s disconnect. You don’t have to work with people and manage them because it’s all 1’s and 0’s.

I don’t think any team is actively looking for the top Madden players for ideas of roster building. Unless they by coincidence happen to have a Harvard degree in statistics…

For what it’s worth, a few NFL analysts have mocked us to move up to 9.
