i mean i’m almost certain cooks is an upgrade over watkins.

and i’m almost certain kupp is better than he was his rookie year.

now everett? i really have no idea…

but if he improves from last year? holy crap this offense could be scary.

assuming of course that the oline stays healthy….

well i don’t think he’s shown us yet either. i think he’s flashed.

i don’t think we’ll really know what we have here until maybe three years from now which would be his fifth year in the league.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr called the NFL’s new national anthem policy “idiotic” while talking with reporters ahead of Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

I like Kerr, but isn’t the NBA rule on the anthem much stricter? So who is the NBA trying to appeal to?

yup.

it’s not just the clutchness for me. i want to see more consistency. i don’t feel like the offense consistently churned out yards like a dominant offense should and were sometimes the benefit of an opportunistic defense and a great special teams unit. they only finished 10th in total offense.

so i want to see more consistency. i want to see a top 5 offense at least.

and it’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on by just reading reports, but i’m getting the sense that goff has a much better grasp of the offense. which makes sense since he’s been in the system for a year. but he just also seems to be doing all the little things. and instead of getting cocky, i think the success seems to have just made him hungrier.

so i want to see the spurts of dominance become less spurty and more frequent.

and yeah. that’s just the offense. on defense. whoo boy.

that’s right. pay the man!

what the hell is taking so long!

rams are gonna screw this one up. goodness.

part of me thinks the jets owner is taking the stance only because he knows it won’t cost him money being in new york city. i wouldn’t be surprised if kroenke takes a similar stance being in los angeles.

that’s tough. goff for sure. i mean goff’s got a chance to be a really good qb. you can’t give those away.

donald or gurley? that’s an impossible choice.

i always have a soft spot for rbs. my favorite position.

but donald is potentially an all-timer.

ask me again in 5 years.

You don’t often see a QB drafted like Goff was in their second season throw for over 3,800 yards, 28tds, 62% completions, and only 7ints and regress in their third year.

well. it’s actually quite common for qbs to regress in their third or fourth years. even ones drafted as high as goff was.

defenses adjust to the qb and usually there’s a period where the qb has to adjust to what the defenses are doing to him.

so i actually wouldn’t be surprised to see goff regress a little bit, but i’d also expect goff to make the necessary adjustments.

I know know Kupp came through last year but I still see a little “green” in him so far though that could easily change.

i think there’s a lot green left in him.

he was on the older side for a rookie, but he was still a rookie. and part of what makes me so excited about this wr corps. cuz he’s the one with the most potential to improve.

and outside of goff possibly the one guy on offense with the most untapped potential. he and everett both. but especially kupp. kinda like holt when he came into that offense as a rookie. i think that gsot offense went to another level when holt took off in his second year, and i expect kupp to do the same.

well right now i got noteboom, allen, kiser, and ogbo pencilled in as future starters…

gotta be the greatest draft in nfl history i figure…

hahahaha.

can’t wait to see suh line up next to donald.

and then to see the new secondary?

after last season ended i wasn’t too sure about how wade was going to improve the defense. now it looks like a potentially great one on paper.

that surprises me. i read somewhere last season where he was better against the run than you might imagine. but i didn’t think he was that good.

how was he in pass defense?

I think Goff will be better, though it’s not clear how much better. Either way they can win with what he already was last year.

and you gotta figure kupp gets better. and you could even see everett getting better. i wouldn’t count on it, but it would definitely be a plus.

all i can say jack is that you would be missed more than any seven round mock draft you could post.

i imagine you’d be doing mock drafts in that great mock draft room in the sky…

Edge rushers might not be a strength, but I don’t see them as a flaw.

yeah. just not enough info at this stage. but i think they’ve got a chance to be good. i like ebukam and okoronkwo.
