It will be interesting to see how the LTs fall off the board from here. There is some decent talent available and we should see a few go in the second round. The Commanders, Raiders, and Ravens might all go for OT before it gets to us at #64. Maybe the Patriots too, but I think they're more likely to go WR.

The same guys I got called an idiot for posting MLFootball are the same ones who think Rickey had inside info :-)

For the draft? No, he clearly didn't, but that's a different animal.

In free agency? He absolutely had inside info and it's not even debatable.

I think he works for the league.

I have no opinion on this dude but suggesting he whiffed here is dumb. Veach literally made it obvious their 1st option was trading up for a LT. They probably thought they'd get it done, but it didn't work out that way when 2 OTs went top 7, 3 in the top 11.

I know it's after the fact now, but even if we gave up two first rounders to get Alt, so what?

We pick between 30-32 almost every year. Those are not first round draft picks. Those are Round 1.5 draft picks at best, AT BEST.

In fact, we don't even care if those picks are productive, as I site the fuck nothing that FAU did this year.

So, why would we care about drafting day 2 guys on day one? Alt, or MHJ, will absolutely, ABSOLUTELY will absolutely be better than the 32nd pick this year and anyone between 30th -32nd next year.

MHJ will be better than Worthy plus whoever we draft in the first next year.

Or the next 3 years for that matter.

Players win on the field. When we are down 10 points in SB 59, the players will win the game, not the future draft capital of 2025, 2026, or 2027.

Because best 52+Mahomes wins Super Bowls. Every year now, we'll be losing good players that we can't afford to pay. Every draft, we need to be stacking good football players. They don't have to be elite, just good. And we need multiple guys every year.

Hey Rickey

It would be great if we could get some rumours or inside information on what we offered to trade up. I’m sure Veach tried. But there’s no way we would’ve gotten Alt for two of our number one draft picks. Apparently New England turned down three number one draft picks from Minnesota. And like you say our number one draft picks are pretty much number two draft picks so I’m not even sure three of our number one draft picks would’ve Gor Alt. And I would not be willing to pay that much.

And while the jury is still out on FAU, not all of our number one draft picks have been that questionable.

Damn, three 1's were turned down? New England must really believe in Maye, because that is franchise changing stuff they said no to.

He was....wrong

No way they passed on 3 ones.
