Another guy Washington likes/has interest in. 7 is too high; 71 is too low. Could trade back and acquire more picks or land in a spot where it’s more of a possibility.

Drops don’t actually matter in wide receiver evaluation. It has essentially 0 correlation to NFL success. There isn’t a single elite receiver in the NFL that has a sub-5% drop rate in college. ———————————— Player (Career Drop Rate in College) Puka Nacua (8.5%) Ja’Marr Chase (7.8%) Justin Jefferson (7.3%) Malik Nabers (7.3%) Garrett Wilson (7.1%) Zay Flowere (10.4%) Brian Thomas Jr. (9.3%) Jordan Addison (9.5%) DK Metcalf (9.5%) ———————————— Then you get to the actual translatability of the stat itself and it gets more muddy George Pickens had the best drop rate in college of any 1,000+ yard receiver of the last decade at 2.2%. He’s actually struggled with drops in the NFL with a 7% drop rate including a season with a 12% drop rate in 2024. CeeDee Lamb has 4 seasons with a drop rate >9% in the NFL after having 0 in college. Hasn’t kept him from being great. In fact, Amon-Ra had a higher drop rate in college than Lamb, but his drop rate in the NFL is 3% compared to Lamb’s 7.6%. If Concepcion struggles to translate to the NFL, it will have nothing to do with his high drop rate.

@RobiWittmore Commanders with what draft capital

Locally sourced. Here’s what I’m hearing re top 10+. #nfldraft 1 #Raiders F. Mendoza 2 #Jets A. Reese 3 #Cardinals D. Bailey 4 #Titans R. Bain Jr 5 #Commanders (t) Je. Love 6 #Browns M. Freeling 7 #Giants (t) S. Styles 8 #Saints C. Tate 9 #Chiefs M. Delane 10 #Bengals C. Downs … 16. #Jets K. Sadiq … 27. #Cardinals (t) T. Simpson

@greyson09 @Jeff_Ermann No I just see a lost cause until then

@Jeff_Ermann @Zim489 I’m convinced that some only look for doom and gloom and wouldn’t be content without it.

It's been a dreary stretch for Maryland basketball after finishing with an 11-21 record and watching six Big Ten cohorts reach the Sweet 16. But this is the time of year when you build hope for next season, and major news is brewing. Scoop 👇

Hear me out: -Carnell Tate: Commanders (1.07). Overqualified No. 2 with vertical ability that is a match made in heaven with Jayden Daniels. -Makai Lemon: Saints (1.08). Instant No. 2 pass-game option in offense that badly needs a WR to complement Olave. -Jordyn Tyson: Dolphins (1.11). Instant 150 target upside if the injury gods decide to chill the hell out. -KC Concepcion: Panthers (1.19): Homecoming and forms a nicey WR trio so Carolina can find out once and for all if Bryce is the future. -Denzel Boston: Bills (1.26): I don't see the Keon comps, either way, big, possession, contested-catch artist would be nice complement to DJM and Shakir. -Omar Cooper: 49ers (1.27): Adding a legit YAC threat between Evans and Pearsall? Hell yeah, brother. -Chris Bell: Eagles (2.54): Maybe wishful thinking he'll still be on the board, but fun AJB replacement once the knee is good. -Chris Brazzell: Rams (2.61): Vertical field-stretcher who isn't 5'3"

@Jeff_Ermann So we circle back to the main problem an archaic cult leader who doesnt attempt to connect to the fan base is driving the bus whose system is the anti thesis to modern bball. So we can hope to struggle to get to the play in game to get on the mediocre hamster wheel ala Turge2.0🫤

@Zim489 Staff changes are unlikely.

@Jeff_Ermann Don’t like how we haven’t heard a peep about any coaching staff changes, any demands from Jim to change, real analytics. Absolutely nothing but potential players which is just a shuffling of the deck given it’s the same morons leading the search for said players

@Zim489 You've established this opinion.

@Insideblackgold And he already has a delay of game on the opening drive

Maryland head coach Mike Locksley set to open year eight of spring ball this afternoon

a second viewing might fix me

@MarshW_7 Hope he does. Just wit some one else. I can’t take that risk of him being a 1 of 1.

May have other preferences for the Commanders, but he strikes me as a guy that’s going to try to kill a human being in the fall.

NFL Draft Round 1 transitioning to 8 minutes per pick really makes you think how absurd 15 minute picks were until 2008

That’s a lot of WRs for the Browns

As a short arm guy this is why I’m worried about Bain at the next level. His first point of contact is his head. Your head should never strike an offensive lineman first in the run or pass. Separation is king.

It seems like the realistic landing spots for Jeremiyah Love are: Arizona Washington Cincinnati 1 - ❌ (Mendoza) 2 - ❌ (Breece Hall) 3 - 4 - ❌ (Schefter predicts NO) 5 - ❌ (Schefter predicts NO) 6 - ❌ (Judkins) 7 - 8 - ❌ (Etienne paid) 9 - ❌ (K9 paid) 10 -

Saw Project Hail Mary over the weekend. Not much of a reader but I blew through the book in about 3 days on vacation. Absolutely loved it. Movie was a good adaptation to the book. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

@CWellion Can’t fuck it up but man this would be incredible

Depends on what they mean by modern

Yikes

@dmv_ce Mid 20s is the starting spot to like 40

Where is Denzel Boston being mocked?
