Before anyone freaks out over Mahomes being "overvalued", read what he says. Still says Mahomes is the most valuable QB, just thinks his ADP is too high. [Reply]

Holy hell that was bad.
Its a little of both, the thing about Thornhill is his range, and ability to close the gap.
I need Honey Badger to be a wild card in this defense, a floating safety if you will. And that can only happen if Thornhill and hold up the back end. [Reply]

No, I'm pretty sure high-end ball skills aren't on his list of attributes. Given a large enough sample size, I feel like the guy will look awfully bad. While there may be a fair number of 4.6 CBs who were historically successful, there aren't many today. These high flying offenses and brilliant OCs are gonna pick that guy apart and/or we'll have to shift coverages to help him out.
This is a rare instance where we disagree completely.
From small schools, the eye test is mandatory because teams avoid good cover guys because it’s easier to attack other weaker links.
I both preseason games and in lots of reports from camp, Miller has knocked down a lot of passes and intercepted one last week.
I’m not saying he’s a world beater. I think he has potential and upside that is flashing in games. [Reply]
This is funny from PFT in regards to Washington trading Trent Williams.

Wow, so all those changes along the D-line don't actually matter (against the pass)? You should have told Veach. [Reply]
