Watching Charlie Becker live, Iโm sold. Heโs without a doubt the WR2 in this โ27 class. Worth a top-10 pick.
The NFL is quietly turning into a two-receiver league: 1A & 1B. Chase/Higgins, CeeDee/Pickens, Watson/Golden, Puka/Davante. Becker has WR1 potential, but he can also be that 1A or 1B for a team that needs another Batman on the other side.
He CAN separate. More than a vertical threat now, with unreal hands and JSN-like potential as a route runner. Donโt overthink it.

Jim Nantz says Mike Ditka used to pay and tip for everything with $100 bills, and never ask for change
โI noticed early on that all he carried were $100 bills. All he did was peel off hundreds all the time. Buy a beer at the bar on the way out to dinner, โYeah, give me a Budweiser.โ $100. Keep the change.โ
โCoat check, comes into a restaurant, comes out, $100. Man on the street, homeless, there was one guy that kind of understood the routine and he was there every week. Mike, every time, $100 bill.โ
โI finally got up the nerve to say, โHey coach, why donโt you ever get change? Why just the hundreds?โ He says, โHey, whatโs the difference anyway?โโ
โHe said, โYou know, the way I look at it, when I die and they drop me down into the ground, I hope thereโs a little opening in that coffin and my last $100 bill comes flying out and goes up into the sky and drifts away. That would make me happy.โโ
โSo I said, โThis gets a little pricey, doesnโt it?โ โItโs not that bad, Jim.โ He said, โHereโs the way I rationalize it in my head. We got 20 weeks. I come every single Friday to New York. I come in with 50 $100 bills, $5,000. And at the end of the season, Iโm spending $100,000.โโ
โHe would say, โIโve allocated $100,000 to the football season to go enjoy myself in New York. And thatโs the way it is.โ I take $5,000 in cash in hundreds every single week. And thatโs what he did.โ

3. Will Stein is Ben Johnson ๐ง
4. Donโt drink the rat poison ๐
5. Indiana canโt be killed๐ค
Monti Ossenfort CANNOT screw this up. Getting a 2027 2nd-round pick is bigger than people think given the depth of this WR class.
KJ Duff, Deuce Alexander, Nick Marsh. If Arizona doesnโt land Jeremiah Smith in 1st, this class still has the talent to deliver what we all expected from MHJ.
#AZCardinals GM Monti Ossenfort held firm on his price, wanting a second rounder this year. Once Houston went from a 2028 second to a 2027 second, it was happening.
Trade: the Arizona Cardinals have agreed to trade WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and 2027 7th-round pick to the Houston Texans in exchange for a 2027 2nd-round pick and 2027 6th-round pick, per @rapsheet and me.
Best thing that ever happened to Will Stein was Sam Leavitt not committing to Kentucky.
Kenny Minchey has been the better QB by far & outplayed LSUโs QB.
Just goes to show the shiniest toy isnโt always the best one.
