According to VinnyB, McVay really wanted Akers and Jefferson. Those were his guys for his offense. Certainly, Snead signed off on them, but I wouldn’t say we can ascertain how Snead drafts based on those 2 picks…
.==================
Sure we can. We can ascertain that Snead listens to McVay. Thats what i would expect. They discuss, bat-things-around, have vigorous debates, and then if McVay really really wants a player, and Snead agrees its a quality player — McVay gets the player.
Its a Mc-Snead pick. Perfectly reasonable process, too.

vwvParticipantI am so *(&#@)^# tire of Tight Ends. We draft one or two every year, and they’re all destined for greatness, and they never achieve it, and I don’t know what the hell TEs are even for except a decoy. If they can’t block, though, eff ’em. You don’t throw to them often enough to make them worth it, seems to me.
And yet…I’m clearly wrong. Because if I wasn’t wrong, nobody would draft TEs.
=====
I havent seen such *(&#@)^#-ing language since the Great H-Back controversy of Whatever year that was.
I’m too old to remember what the Hback controversy was even about. Anybody remember?

I like’em short and stout/powerful. Like Aaron Donald.
Plus, He might end up at center someday.
w
vwvParticipantAnother favorite. Drug Kingpin “Proposition Joe.”
His actual name is Robert F Chew, and he served as an acting coach for some of the young actors on the show.“…Chew worked as an acting coach with several of the young actors joining the show in the fourth season and with non-professional actor Felicia “Snoop” Pearson.[6][7][9] As acting coach Chew was responsible for preparing the core of four new young actors Tristan Wilds, Julito McCullum, Maestro Harrell and Jermaine Crawford for their major roles in the fourth season.[10] Chew described his aim as helping the young actors find the roles within themselves and looking for what is real.[11] Chew worked with Wilds to perfect the internalized build-up of emotion in his character, Michael Lee, and to convey the character through looks and physical acting rather than dialogue.[11] Chew remarked that he was also impressed with Wilds’ professionalism and commitment, McCullum’s natural ability as Namond Brice, Harrell’s charm as Randy Wagstaff and Crawford’s honesty of performance as Duquan “Dukie” Weems.[12] Chew found working with young people rewarding because it allowed him to see them develop and bring them to their full potential.[12]”
wikiHe died in 2013, btw.
wvParticipantWell it would be nice if he could be this:
wvParticipantIts all about the Center, Jack.
How would you rank the Rams Center? Compared to the other 31 Centers? Bottom third? Middle third? Upper third?
wvParticipantWell the movie was totally about Class issues. One wonders if the tv-version will water all that down.
w
vwvParticipantI had to look him up. I guess he’s the 49er version of Whitworth.
“…Williams is considered to be one of the best tackles in the league, making seven straight Pro Bowl appearances from 2012–2018.
In 2019, Williams held out the entire year due to contractual and personal grievances he had with the Redskins regarding a cancerous growth on his head that was later determined by private doctors to be life threatening. The following year, he was traded to the 49ers…”
Wiki:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_WilliamswvParticipantSo, they drafted another Jared Cook?
Can you teach a guy to not drop easy balls?
Ah well. I have an open mind on all these guys, but we are all gonna be watching this guy’s hands.
w
vwvParticipantscheme fit. i’m guessing a lot of it comes down to that. mcvay knows what kind of running back and receiver he wants. so i’ll trust him on this. but i was a little underwhelmed. my favorite pick is jefferson. he’s like robert woods and cooper kupp. sounds like a versatile receiver. a technician. precise.
they need a center and an offensive tackle. maybe they find them today.
========================
Very interesting that they ignored the Oline. Maybe its a good thing. Maybe it means they already have talent. I dunno.
Anyway, i like to wait a half-hour after round four
before a grade a draft or a logo.w
vwvParticipantApril 25, 2020 at 8:31 am in reply to: Trump tells Americans to inject (kill) themselves with disinfectant. #114088wvParticipantThat makes sense because China is a communist country and communist countries don’t have any sunshine so that would make sense that sunshine could kill the virus and we would find that out in America because the sunshine has Freedom here.
==================
So true.
Communizm has never worked because the Godless Communists dont even have enough disinfectant to inject into themselves,
to kill the Godless Communist Virus.
w
vwvParticipantThe RB certainly made sense. I hope he can add some fire to this offense.

I’m always always always fine with a ‘route-runner.’ I dont care how slow he is. Jack Snow, Fred Belitnikoff, Howard Twilly, Steve Largent…
—
A LB and a S/CB for the defense. Well, who knows.The Rams biggest problem last year was the demise of Gurley and the OLine.
So, we are back to the OLine. Their plan is to fix it without a premium draft pick?
Well….okey-dokey.w
vApril 24, 2020 at 5:41 pm in reply to: The most important person in human history you never heard of… #114025wvParticipant“….In the documentary’s closing moments, historian Tore Olsson suggests that widespread famine and hunger still remain not because of a lack of food but because of inequality, class and poverty. This may indeed all be true, but the way the filmmakers seem to lay these enormous problems at Borlaug’s feet is unfair. Sure, he didn’t solve problems that have vexed mankind for centuries, but didn’t the man do enough?”
===================There’s Science knowledge. And there’s
Political Knowledge.There aint nearly enough of either on this madhouse-planet.

At a White House briefing, President Trump theorized — dangerously, in the view of some experts — about the powers of sunlight…
.============
Yup. Got a text last evening from wv-mom. Texted me that sunshine will kill the virus.
Now that Sports have been cancelled a lot of old people are watching NOTHING BUT Fox News. All day long.
One of the side-effects of the virus. People watching the ‘news’ more.
w
vwvParticipantI have got to watch that show. I’ve started it twice, but haven’t even completed season 1.
=============
WTF?? Who are you? What have you done with zooey?
Nittany is somehow involved, i bet.
My own opinion is that seasons 1 thru 3 are ‘as good as it gets’ on tv.
Seasons 4 and 5 certainly have their moments and are good, but not as scene-by-scene good as seasons 1 to 3.If you can watch it on dvd its best because the commentaries by David Simon are enlightening.

vwvParticipantOk, my top draft-grade in round one goes to…the New Orleans Saints. They picked a Center at the 24 spot. Cesar Ruiz from Michigan. I will keep an eye on his career.
Centers are under-rated by fans.
I love Centers,
Picking Centers high is a good thing.And when the Saints get screwed out of the Super Bowl again,
by another bad-call, it Wont be because they had a bad Center.w
vwvParticipantThe narrative out there seems to be how bad the Rams messed up and they are way behind. I don’t feel a big negative about the Rams.
=================
I have a fairly negative Ram-view, I’d say.
They dont have an elite ballcarrier anymore, and the Oline is a mystery.
But mainly, what makes me negative has nothing to do with the Rams — its that the 49ers, Seahawks, and Cardinals all look playoff-caliber to me.

wvParticipantPS — as I’ve said a gazillion times, I dont have a problem with leftist voting for the ‘lesser evil.’ Thats a reluctant, but strategic and knowing decision. Makes perfect sense.
But tens of millions of Americans will vote for Trump/Biden/Clinton/Edwards/Gore/Obama/Bush/bush/Reagan/Nixon because…..well you know why. We’ve talkin about the what and why of it since 1998 now. 1998. Or there-abouts.
Did this Nation ever have a chance to be decent and truly democratic? I dont think so.
w
vwvParticipantAnd tens of millions of people will vote for a guy who does that to America. All because he hates the same people they do.
——————
Thats the thing.
And the “opposition party” will get tens of millions of people to vote for the other Pirate.
Forget it Jake, its America.

wvParticipantWell, you and zooey are more optimistic than me.
At any rate, I’m old, and i have cat-videos to catch up on today.
w
vThat’s not a cat, Magoo.
I’m distracting myself from the political/environmental/medical catastrophe du joir by tinkering with my koi pond. I’m making it a little bigger this year. If you want to feel old, spend the day digging a big hole. So far my lower back isn’t on board with the project.

Ok fine. Here’s a fish video.
I have to go to the store today. I feel like scary background music should be playing.

wvParticipantWVU is using smart rings, apps and algorithms to identify COVID-19 infections before symptoms occur
“….Within a week, 1,000 healthcare workers will be wearing the rings and using the apps with expectations that in a month participation will grow to 10,000 in West Virginia, Philadelphia, New York, Florida and elsewhere to determine how effectively the system provides early warning signs of infection.
“[Healthcare workers] interested in participating should contact us, and we’re interested in working in partnerships,” said Dr. Ali Rezai, executive chair of the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute. “The key thing is, we’ve been doing this for three years, and that is why we have taken a big leap ahead with this concept.” ….
….
….Rings, apps and algorithmsSensors in the Oura Health smart ring record and analyze physiological responses to assess sleep duration and quality, body temperature, and variation in pulse rate and heart function.
Each morning the ring provides a sleep rating based on length of deep sleep (REM) and light sleep.
Leslie Crossley, 51, of Morgantown, serves as RNI’s director of nursing and clinical programs, and is involved in enrolling participants, providing and instructing them about the apps and fitting participants with rings.
“It looks like a normal ring and has some sensors that you can’t feel,” she said. “It’s not uncomfortable, and its waterproof so you don’t take it off, and you charge it once a week. A charger comes with the ring.”….see link
wvParticipantRight now Biden is ahead in the polls. Though Hillary was farther ahead in the polls at this time last year.
wvParticipant<
Yup. There’s nothing about Biden that makes him a worthwhile candidate.But 4 more years of Trump could essentially end democracy in this country.

John MuirwvParticipantBut, yeah. Sanders isn’t saying All in for Biden! He’s saying let’s dump Trump, get a foot in the door, and fight the status quo in all its forms.
================
Yeah, I third that.
I also would add that I dont know a single solitary ‘progressive’ who votes based on “what Bernie sez.” Ya know.
Also, once you choose to even run as a Democrat, aren’t you bound by their by-laws or whatever to support the Nominee? I thought the corporate-dem-party had a rule like that. I think i remember reading somethin about that. Yes? No?
I still think this is gonna be a very very close election. Just like last time. Could go either way. A few thousand votes could decide it, I would think.
I would give Biden a slight edge at this point. I think the virus-bashed-economy has to help The-Biden.

vwvParticipantFwiw. The age-old-question for Leftists.
