The Eagles wasted their pick imo. I can't believe they left Justin Jefferson sitting there.
Reagor could have been had in the 2nd round. He isn't the speed WR they tout him to be, 4.47 at the combine. I don't understand. We were forced to play WRs from the practice squad at the end of last year and into the playoffs. How does Reagor end up rating higher than Jefferson? Why didn't they bump up and try to grab Jeudy or Lamb? They could have swung a deal with AZ or SF to snag one of those guys.
I dunno. Maybe Reagor is better than I think he is but I don't think he is better than Jefferson, Lamb or Jeudy.
Chiefs got the best value in Round 1 with Edwards-Helaire. Fantastic selection for their offense at #32. Perfect fit.

Yeah Edwards-Helaire seems like the type of player who Andy Reid can use better than any coach in the league

I agree with you guys about the Vikings making a great pick in Jefferson, and the Eagles making a not so great one with Reagor.
I'm elated that Jeudy fell into the Broncos lap. Go Broncos!
The Raiders should have taken him, but went with speed instead. Nothing at all wrong with Riggs, he just don't fit their offense, I don't think they got a QB that can use his speed.
Ceedee was obviously a Jerry Jones pick. Dallas didn't really need a stud WR, but Jerry likes to make a splash. Thats why they never win. lol

I personally love the Packers pick.
Explain!!
hahah, I'm trying to figure that one out. The way I am seeing it, you have a team that was good enough to get to the NFC championship. Everyone knows a happy Rodgers plays much better than a disgruntled Rodgers. Rodgers still has some juice left. Only thing really lacking was WRs.
So in a draft where the WR class is really good, instead of taking one and winning while you can, you spend draft capital to take a QB to eventually replace your existing good one, who you know has an ego, and will make him play disgruntled again.
I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just showing you how I see it, and trying to understand this pick.

Should have added that as a Vikings fan, I love that pick haha. Makes zero sense. Especially to trade up for him when he probably would have been available anyway, just icing on the cake |

Eagles get their version of Taysom Hill in the likes of Jalen Hurts. Interesting pick but looking forward to seeing him on the field.

And can I just say the Rams' new logo is straight up awful. It looks like a rental car company. Seeing it next to all other NFL team logos, it really sticks out... and not in a good way..  |

I remember when the 49ers tried to change their logo, the revolt from their fanbase was so strong they backed off.  |

Andy Dalton officially released, per his request.
Any bets on how long before Belichick snaps him up for less money and no trade compensation now?

For the money -
Jacksonville Jaguars: If you like puzzles, this is the one where the most pieces seem to fit together for Dalton. His former offensive coordinator in Cincinnati, Jay Gruden, is now occupying that role in Jacksonville, and they enjoyed considerable success in their three years together (2011-13). The Bengals went to the playoffs in each of those three years, and in their final season together, the offense finished sixth in scoring and Dalton threw 33 touchdown passes against 20 interceptions. The Jaguars shipped Nick Foles out and have said all the right things in support of second-year pro Gardner Minshew, but at the very least, Dalton would provide a very strong backup option to Minshew and -- more likely -- very strong competition for the starting job. Side note: Dalton also has the right temperament to be the face of a franchise that is clearly in transition.
For the starting QB spot -
New England Patriots: Deep breaths, Patriots fans. The Red Rifle isn't Tom Brady, but nobody is. Dalton is reliable, with considerable starting experience (he was 70-61-2 as a starter for the Bengals) and, on paper anyway, is better than the current top two quarterbacks on the roster. Jarrett Stidham has no experience as a starter (although the Patriots have seen him in practice for a year), and Brian Hoyer is 16-22 as a starter for his career. And Dalton could come cheap. Jameis Winston just signed in New Orleans for $1.1 million plus incentives. There is a big caveat here, though: Stidham and Hoyer already know the Patriots' offense, and that could be a significant factor, considering nobody knows when teams will be able to get on the field again as the world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic
To be a mentor -
Denver Broncos: Second-year pro Drew Lock is the starter, but in March, the Broncos signed another former Bengal, Jeff Driskel, to back him up. Driskel has made eight career starts, going 1-7. There isn't much question who would give the Broncos a better chance to win if Lock is out of the game. And Dalton would be an excellent mentor for a young quarterback.
New York Jets: Another on the "Dalton would be an excellent mentor for a young quarterback" list. Third-year pro Sam Darnold is, obviously, the starter, but the Jets need him to make a jump this season. If Dalton were willing to give up on being a full-time starter, he would be an outstanding help for Darnold, the same way Josh McCown was in 2018, Darnold's rookie season. And last season, the Jets saw the value of having a viable backup -- the wheels fell off for them early in 2019, when Darnold had mononucleosis, Trevor Siemian also got hurt and Luke Falk had to start. The Jets lost all three games Darnold was out. Darnold's current backup is David Fales, who was on the roster as Darnold's backup after the early-season debacle last year, appearing in two games but throwing no passes. The Jets also added to their QB room in last week's draft, selecting FIU's James Morgan in the fourth round.
A coast-to-coast bunch of teams that need backups: How about the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans or Atlanta Falcons? All of these scenarios, like with the Jets and Broncos, would be predicated on Dalton not being wed to the opportunity to compete for a starting job. And Dalton obviously doesn't play the same style of game as, say, Russell Wilson. But Dalton would be, by far, the most reliable and most experienced backup option for teams that have playoff-caliber rosters and would -- they hope -- need the backup only to hold the fort. Consider this ... Blake Bortles? Geno Smith? Logan Woodside? You wouldn't rather have Dalton?
