    You we’re right about Bryce.

    Not sure if it’s been mentioned and I hate comparing different sport athletes to each other but Bryce to me is the football…Steph Curry

    Not the biggest
    Not the strongest
    Not the fastest
    Not the most athletic

    But they are just so damn good at what they do…and Bryce like Steph seem like media darlings.

    What if Young and Stroud aren't all that?

    I like Maye/Williams a lot more than this yrs class.

    So I'm more than willing to take the chance that I will be able to get one of them. Do you think the Texans are going to be one of the 3-4 worst teams in the NFL next yr? I do, so I'm more than willing to wait to get the better QB. IMHO

    A big difference between football and basketball.

    300 lbs men aren't trying to hit you as hard as they possibly can.

    But if Cal makes Caserio pick a QB, I hope Young's the pick.

    It's totally within their control.

    Just gotta keep Lovie down at NRG.

    IIRC you had Ewers at the top of your wishlist just a few weeks ago. Things change too quickly to pass on really good prospects for someone else the following year IMO.

    Guys...we need to focus

    There are about 10 teams tied with 3 wins. Cleveland is one of those.

    Rooting for the Texans to win or lose is a "whatever" proposition, they're gonna lose most likely and it will take a miracle to not get the #1 pick.

    What we need to focus on is the Cleveland pick, and all of the teams that need to lose to make it the best one possible.

    But the most skilled.

    But Curry wasn't allowed to have 200-300lb maniacs pound him into the floor with semi-regularity.

    Not saying you're wrong, but there's a difference.

    True…but the rules have changed in basketball just like football.

    No more hand checking and physical defense everything is a foul now which helps Steph.

    And in football you can’t even breathe on QBs anymore which helps Bryce with his “size concerns”

    Uh, no.

    You can't hit them late, you can't hit them in the head, you can't hit them in the knees (in the pocket)...but QBs get the s**t knocked out of them by very large angry people several times a game.

    It only takes one shot to take one out.

    eta: and I'm not saying that's a decision-maker on a draft pick, I'm just saying

    Come on don’t get me started on all the bull (you know what) calls for roughing the passer this year alone.

    Oh, I know, we can talk about that later.

    This Washington-Philly game is surprisingly fun right now.

    Also a big fan of the Browns losing! Really want 2 top5 picks next draft. In fact, hope they suck again next year too.

    True, I thought Ewers would play like Maye has after working with Sark.

    Good is good enough for some, I'm not wired that way.
