I’m taking that one with a grain of salt. Mims was originally committed to play for Saban before switching to Georgia…

Saban could be salty about that. Would be pretty telling if a man of his age and with the things he has accomplished to talk crap because he spurned you.

It’s hardly just one injury.  He’s been hampered by issues even when he’s active.  Hell, he injured his hammy at the combine.  Pretty clear red flag - well, maybe not red, but at least yellow - he has trouble staying on the field.

I had thought Dallas was in his future, we got Guyton instead, similar size and experience.

The only thing I'd be scared of is the Saban thing. Saban hinted that he is a soft player, that he took himself out of the SEC championship game because his ankle was sore. Not a red flag but definitely something to think about.

WR… shit… we really are trading Aiyuk. 
 

Well it wasn't the white CB, it was the white WR

For a guy in Texas he sure doesn't know what all in is.

My guess is Guyton is the Guy and they think he will still be there at 29 and picked up a high 3rd rd pick

And there he is, Guyton, massive tackle from Oklahoma. I'm happy w that.

So this is what going “all in” for Jerry looks like?

Dallas picked up a high 3rd rd pick for moving back, hopefully we can still get best IOL.

From a Detroit move this makes sense because they have a big need at corner.

Dammmit... Detroit likely taking the CB from Bama?

I just want the best IOL we think there is.  Or the Tackle from Oklahoma if we think he is good enough

Eggles on the clock, any Georgia players available?

Well Dallas is 5 picks away and IOL and CB haven't been taken yet. We don't really need a CB but if the best falls to 24? (I'm always sucker for predraft CB hype)

There was a funny short video of a mock Dallas draft room and Jerry Jones finds out Cooper DeJean is white...everyone tries to talk him out and he's like the pick is already in!

Dallas is 8 picks away and all of the IOL are still available, fingers crossed.  This will be a jinx and a new run on IOL will begin now.

Lol, or THE TE.

Ok, now there will be a def run

OR now, since another Tackle has been taken!  Anyone bet the over on OFF players in top 15? They did say this was a big year for OL players. I know that's what Dallas needs.

Lol, or THE TE.

Ok, now there will be a def run

Probably a big def run now. 

And there goes the last "name" QB. 6 in top 12. Wow.

I guess we should have seen this coming. They drafted Bijan last year really high and then didn't really use him, same with Pitts so I guess they have no problem w draft and stash philosophy.

Wow Penix to Atl, after they signed Cousins and committed 100 mill guaranteed to him.  This is why I don't work in the NFL, I have no idea who is good!

SD taking their time, maybe hoping someone would make a killer offer but it never came.

I’d be happy with basically anyone other than J.J. McCarthy for the Giants. He’s all yours @Mr. Chatywin et al. Please trade up.

Would you honestly rather have Penix over McCarthy? I'm obviously biased as a Michigan fan. I watched Penix at Indiana and he looked really good, but couldn't stay healthy. He put up big stats last season with a guy who is expected to be a 1st round WR. Penix can look awesome but I'd always be scared of a knee injury.

The Draft is tonight, and it sounds like teams are gonna be reaching for quarterbacks even worse than normal.  There's a lot of talk that 4 guys (Williams, Daniels, McCarthy and Maye) go in the top 6, and Penix doesn't last past 13.  That would be an unprecedented QB haul, and would mean a bunch of top prospects still available for the teams picking in the first 10 picks who don't need a qb. 

Assuming qbs go 1-2-3 without any trades, that still leaves NYG, MIN, VEG, and DEN needing quarterbacks, and only two guys left who are even remotely 1st round picks.  Think Vegas wants a year with Minshew/O'Connell under center?  Or the Giants need more of the Daniel Jones Experience?  There's gonna be a lot of FOMO pressure, because if you don't come out of the draft with a quarterback, your season is basically over before it begins. 

I'm sure Dallas would be willing to part with Trey Lance if someone comes calling. Anyone? Bueller, Bueller?

Watched Poor Things finally. Not sure what to think about this. I liked the visuals and the, I think steam punk / Island of Dr. Moreau is my feel to the world. Some good performances. Just a strange movie that takes you through a lifetime of experiences, learning, growing mentally, in a matter of months or a year I guess for Bella. 

Strangely enough for a movie with a lot of sex and nudity, it never felt like it? IDK, I am glad I saw it but can't think of any reason I would watch it again.

Part of the reason is you guys grew up on the OG as kids whose light hearted tone was easier to swallow as children but as cynical adults your preference has naturally drifted to darker stuff. Nothing wrong with that but please stop trying to change the core of SW for the kids of this generation so they can enjoy the same thing you guys did in the 70s and I did in the early 2000s. Andor is depressing, boring and joyless. The protagonist is a forgettable,miserable nothingburger.
 

 

I don't think I have ever heard The Empire Strikes Back described as light hearted. Apparently I missed the humor in Luke's father cutting off his hand or Han being frozen alive. Han gutting a creature and stuffing Luke in it definitely was a hoot and family friendly!

Most of us old people (I was 5 when I saw Star Wars at a drive in theatre on laying on top of a van) who grew up on The original trilogy disliked the prequels specifically because they were too light hearted and pandered to kids. Yes there were serious elements sprinkled in but that's all.

Rogue One was the only movie made since the originals that I truly enjoyed and will happily rewatch. 

Trailer is out. Saw it this weekend at a movie. It'll get my money just not opening weekend.

So Detroit gets the draft and they are picking so late that most fans will be in bed and pick 29 is kind of a ehh not exactly sexy...  Normally they are always in top 10 draft day but nope, not the year you host it. Last year would've been perfect, I guess the script writers screwed that all up.  Unfortunately for me the only day I would have a chance to go to it is Saturday and that just isn't the same.
