Can they trade Cousins? They’d take a big cap hit but they’d effective buying some draft picks, as the contract would be favorable for the acquiring team. But I assumed that wasn’t allowed.

My wild-ass guess is they have multiple offers on the table for Penix and will move him by the end of the weekend.
Yeah, but for more value than the pick they used to take him? There's no way.

If that was their plan, they're a bunch of dumbasses.

If Dejean somehow falls to 34 I’d be happy with that too

or Thomas Jr too of course
Can DeJean play OT or WR? If not no thanks, don't care if he is Joey Bosa combined with Aaron Donald. Defense can only get you so far in this NFL. Ask BAL about how having a historic defense worked out.

Honestly, he could probably play WR. I'd take him if he falls to 34 and the top WR/OT options are off the board. He's a special talent.

I'm probably going to be wrong, because I don't have any sound or rational reason for feeling this way, but I think JJM is going to make a lot of people regret not selecting him. And BB's take just affirmed it for me, for better or worse.
He's not exactly going in the 6th round, so going on to have an impressive career isn't going to be a massive upset. Other than Atlanta (lol) teams ahead of the Vikings shouldn't be unduly remorseful.

Bill is sneaking in “There’s a lot to like about this guy” into every player analysis he does. It’s like the broadcast version of his “I’m doing what’s best for the team.”

The 2001 Ravens just fine

also Dejean plays corner

Also I didn’t mind the 13-3 Super Bowl
A lot better than the 41-33 Super Bowl

Game has changed a bit in the last 23yrs. BAL had a historic defense last season, didn't exactly work out.
Yes I know DeJean was a CB, that was hyperbole.

Jags trade back from 17 to 23, pick up 167.

They also got a 3rd and 4th next year.
Thanks. We missed that.

My son wanted them to stay put at 17 and draft a CB, but he’s ok with the deal with those two picks next year.

Love Payton calling out McAfee for lack of professionalism (and I like Pat). BB sets it up for 10pm, then they spend 7 min talking about nonsense while he’s waiting. Can’t have that if you want to be legit moving forward.

Watching Payton, I’m almost wondering if part of the value of having Bill on this show is that it makes these historically secretive personnel guys comfortable sharing some football nerd process stuff.

I love it.
