what about the blackburn podcast made you think they're into those 2 guys?

From the way he described what he likes at those positions. He said we like guys who have good tape and are do it all types. Less concerned with those extreme combine numbers.

I just feel like Addison and Cam Smith exemplify that mold of guys you just feel like you can trust.

Boogie knight is insane
Bumper pool also crazy
Jacky Chen’s parents knew what they were doing

I read what he was saying differently - that they look for the same qualities as they do at all positions (good frame, athleticism, tape and in particular physicality)

Basically was just saying that just because they’re CBs, doesn’t mean we don’t care about how physical they are or their running game qualities

my predictions right now are that we pick at 23, and we pass on calijah kancey for one of:
Jordan Addison
Joey porter jr
Quentin Johnston
Nolan smith
Deonte banks

Only two I’m unhappy with are QJ and deonte banks and I won’t be unhappy for long when I watch a bunch of highlights of QJ, deonte banks worries me big time, I’m not sure his play style works in the nfl.

At this point, @JAAM , I don't see my #SIIE growing between now and Draft Day so the following are on my list:

-JSN
-Zay Flowers
-Joey Porter Jr.

-Tyjae Spears (I could be wrong, but I think @RaineV1 convinced me on him lol)

My guess is that RB is too big a luxury in this draft despite it being important. Especially for 2024.

Really want to see us draft DTR, Haener, or O'Connell for backup QB.

Obviously WR and CB are a must.

Would love to add an EDGE.

OG and DL are probably going to also be a selection depending on how the board goes

Considering players just got suspended for betting, wouldn't this fall under betting using insider information? I just don't get how odds can shift toward one player suddenly betting wise without insider info.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's the 3rd RB drafted. I wouldn't be surprised if he's the 6th-8th RB drafted. Honestly, his actual value is difficult to predict. Realistically, I could see him going in the 3rd round.

Speaking of RBs, this guy from America Ninja Warrior really believes that Derrick Henry is gonna be an Eagle. Now I get it, this account has no blue check, but it also has 62,500 followers. I highly doubt some random imposter account has that many unless they paid for them. Regardless....

I saw this when it happened. He was a former NFL player and part of the NFL Network. Even more interestingly, he shares the same sports agency as Derrick Henry. I have no idea how legit his sources are. But it could be a possible storyline.

In regards to Lamar, so we have 5 days to match whatever offer he gets. You guys think some team puts out an offer on Friday after the first round or even before the Draft? So they still use their first rounder on whatever player they want this year or will things stay the same with zero offers?
