@CourtneyRCronin @Jordan_Reid There's been an average of 1 first round TE for the last 25 years and there was a 1st round TE in each draft with Kelce, Little, Andrews going later. I'm not seeing the trend change with Sadiq projected mid 1st and Stowers early 2nd looks right in line.
English
Travis Kelce, George Kittle and Mark Andrews walked so Kyle Pitts, Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren could run.
Next month, Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq is in line to be the next tight end drafted on Day 1.
I wrote about the rise of first round TEs and how the league has prioritized this position earlier in the draft. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

@KurtBenkert @StevenCheah Good point, I didn't think of turnover worthy play. I think with the TOs its so much easier to stuff the run on 2nd and force a 3rd and long. Especially if you just need 3 and field position isn't as important.
English
I agree with you to an extent, however, I was trying to force a passing play in hopes of creating a turnover.
Playing the percentage is the chance of a turnover Worthy play when the ball is in the air versus on the ground is higher (in Madden esp).
Ended up running the ball anyways, so it didn’t make a difference.

Co-sign with clock management guys in the NFL having a ton of Madden experience should be required. Laugh all you want but it’s thousands more reps in simulated situations.
Kurt Benkert@KurtBenkert
If you enjoy clock management, you’ll love this video. Down 10 and found a way with 1 second left. And yes, I believe coaches would be better prepared for this aspect of the game if they played Madden (or had clock consultants) Spoiler (we won this in OT) @TheCoachHotRod

@wahlstreet23 @dpbrugler I wouldn't have blinked at a 4.57 for Boston that's why not running was so surprising. It must have been closer to 4.7 to get to get a don't even show it.

A lot of positive feedback from scouts on WR Denzel Boston's pro day yesterday. Looked really good with his route work and catching the ball.
6.80 3-cone, 4.30 shuttle, 37 1/2 vert at 210 lbs will play just fine.

Show how long you have been playing Dynasty by posting one of your first rookie draft crushes that ended up being a bust.

@LRiddickESPN I don't get this. Kyler is getting league minimum 1yr based on the offset. He got benched by the last coach and cut with this coach for a guy who has never been a season long starter. I like Kyler but I don't see saying hes the guy over someone with similar talent and investment
English
I wouldn’t throw in the towel on JJ McCarthy. Let me be clear on that.
But I’m not the one trying hard to bring in a super-talented 28 year old former #1 overall pick with 87 career starts and 2 pro bowls.
And please …stop with the “JJ can compete for the starting job with him.” Yea. No. You don’t sign Kyler to compete. You sign him because you intend on him being the starter. JJ’s “starting” career resumes elsewhere. That’s how I see it. Time will tell.

@NFLDraftStudy Some significant value for the trading to team when the contract is already done and any signing bonus proration never coming to their books. Crosby under contract for 4 years for a real reasonable value of just salary and active game bonuses.
English
Glad trades are starting to swing a little more toward the high side of compensation tbh. Every deal is separate (Moore trade was bad for Buffalo) but letting go of high impact guys should cost a lot
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
ESPN sources: the Raiders agreed to trade five-time Pro-Bowl DE Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for 2026 and 2027 first-round picks. The trade cannot be processed until next week, but it is in place. And Crosby is expected to be a Raven with two 1s back to Vegas.

@awlsabermetrics I thought, damn PFT with some pretty thoughtful questions like a true journalist. Trying to get boner dogs off the ground.
English
@SeahawkNMD Yea the Monty Python song... he was largely checked out and getting through it. Which the guys definitely could tell.
Just a bummer bc I think it could've been such a better interview
English
The PMT Seth McFarlane interview was a bit of a let down.. idk Seth was probably cooked from the junket, but the guys gave him some solid questions mixed with normal dumb ones and just never felt like he was really into it.. ah well

@StickToTheModel How hard would it be to add a post draft free agency pool to fill out the 53 or 75 depth chart? Miss some holes during the draft and backfill depth with FA leftovers.

@mookiealexander Something like over a 4 or 5 year span you have a rookie cap? Or there is no rookie scale and teams have to really put top rookies to the market vs star players, obviously the most fair option but the Vets may not let it happen.
English
Put safeguards in place so big market teams can't hog all the top prospects.
Also you only have 12-13 spots on an NBA roster to begin with. They literally cannot just have all of them without trading stars away.
Brandon Rahbar@BrandonRahbar
Abolishing the NBA Draft is an all-time bad take. How do we restore competitive balance within the league? Ah yes, by giving the big markets yet another competitive advantage and removing the one avenue for smart small market teams to build a contender.

@force_fantasy Ha I scrolled my CFF database and could find an eligible WR with initials HM. You have Jakobi Lane and Eric McAlister anywhere near that Tier?

Logically, for some people as of last week, this should be a DK Metcalf reception.

This play was reviewed... And it revealed an INSANE pick by DJ Turner II. Bengals ball! PITvsCIN on Prime Video Also streaming on @NFLPlus

@SheilKapadia Johnson screwed up with his TOs and McVay bailed him out.
English
McVay with a HUGE error on that last possession. 3rd-and-10 with 2:07 left. You have to give Stafford a shot there!
Run does nothing -- clock stops at 2-minute warning anyway. Try to put the game away! Gave the Bears a chance and got burned.
