I figured I would create one location to house all of the breaking news, rumors, pessimism, despair, helplessness, frustration, and of course optimism leading up to the 2019 NFL Trade Deadline on:
Tuesday, October 29th @ 4:00p Eastern Time
3 weeks from today! We all have ideas of what the Chiefs need so I won't go into that, but hopefully this day will come and go with better results than last year for us. [Reply]
Yea they traded a 2nd for a 30 year old WR who’s never had more than 850 yards in a season. I’m sure you’d be giving Veach a ton of credit for a move like that! [Reply]
The market for an ILB was set by Myles Jack at 14.25 AAV and the Jets gave CJ Mosley $17 million AAV, which lead to Bobby Wagner getting $18 million AAV.

My thinking is potential playoff\SB contenders would go all in if it was at that late of a date and bad teams would do a sell off as well. That would give teams basically 4 weeks or so to acclimate their new teammate, which I think is plenty of time. [Reply]

Face it - we're a bunch of entitled whiners.
Uh...'entitled'?
Not sure what word you wanted to use there, but perhaps 'beaten down' would be more appropriate.
Nobody on this board feels 'entitled' to shit. Some of them are sycophants {cough}staylor{coughcoughcough}, some are self-indulgent assholes {raises hand}, most are just dying of thirst and hoping to find a hoofprint to drink piss out of before they leave this earth having never witnessed a championship.
But 'entitled'? That seems like the exact wrong cause here. [Reply]

But guys like that just aren't easy to spot. It's so difficult to understand how baseline athleticism will translate to coverage ability at the next level. Why? Hell if I know; seems like it should be pretty easy.
But for whatever reason, someone like Ragland can put up virtually identical testing numbers to someone like Schobert and Schobert's just better in space.
I mean look at these figures:
40 times: 4.76 vs. 4.72 (edge Ragland)
10 yard split: 1.62 vs. 1.65 (edge Schobert)
20 yard shuttle: 4.3 vs. 4.28 (Edge Ragland)
Broad Jump (big for SPARQ scores; considered a strong proxy for explosion): 111 vs 116 (edge Ragland)
Both 6'1'', Ragland 247 vs. 244 for Schobert.
And giving anyone an edge anywhere is academic; there's no discernible difference anywhere; hundreths of a second here and there. Both came out of the 2016 draft class. There virtually indistinguishable as prospects.
Someone explain to me why Schobert is so much better in space? I sure as hell can't figure it out and you can't exactly glean 'savvy' at the college level.
We’ve had problems drafting LBs for years now. What’s the last good one....DJ? [Reply]

The Texans ones are all dumb though.
My point is it was a sellers market and hard to find good deals. The only team that got one got it because the team that they were trading with was desperate to be one of those buyers getting fucked. [Reply]
