@TommyJaggi Loaded class of teams to compete with tanking. Browns, Jets, Cardinals, falcons, etc. bringing in a one year cheap bridge that’s an all time HoF seems like a reasonable place to land. He could also still be bad and get them a QB. Anything is possible post Tomlin
@WilliamsonNFL@WesleyUhler Seems like this whole draft was about injecting a deliberate McCarthy flavor
Iheanachor -> Bulaga
Bernard -> Jennings
Dunker -> T.J. Lang
Wetjen/Eli -> Cobb/Montgomery/Turpin
Nowakowski -> Ripkowski/Luepke
This group of French researchers (Sur le champ) trained about 200 re-enactors to test the crowd dynamics of hoplite warfare and routing more generally. It's really interesting how the often frustratingly vague statements of ancient writers become clear with this footage
@TommyJaggi I’m not that beat up about it. Premium position RAS stars in first three rounds. It’s such a bad draft overall, Tomlin would’ve pounded the table for a safety or an LB.
@TommyJaggi Would’ve liked Lemon, but trading up for a non-QB is usually overconfidence. Staying put for an ultra athletic premium position is fine to me. Howie just did this with Andre Dillard and he busted.
@billbarnwell@acosta32_jp What’s Acosta talking about the Steelers turning over the roster? The only true greybeards are Watt and Heyward. The rest of the roster is in the mid-20s plus 13 ‘26 draft picks. The youth movement is already here.
@WilliamsonNFL@WesleyUhler the order of operations in these draft segments is way off. The obvious value/economic/analytic pick at 21 is WR unless you throw a dart at QB. Way too much guard love
@WilliamsonNFL Between Graham using more split safety and McCarthy attacking the MOF more, both sides are going to look different. Very curious to see how much Tomlin had his thumb on the scale
@SigmundBloom@HaydenWinks What exactly do they need to tear up? You want to strip the young OL they've turned over or Porter? They need playmakers but thats what the draft is for. I want to see what it looks like w/o Tomlin treatin the MOF like lava.
@SigmundBloom@HaydenWinks Drop 5 T100 draft picks into the mix and across the board upgrade in coaching (McCarthy > Art, Campen > Meyer, Graham > Austin), I think the teams setup looks fine.
