If Beane had drafted Coleman at 28 w/o upgrading 3 picks first a lot fewer people would have talked bout how stupid he was.

I dread the thought of Chris Colingsworth announcing a game with him in it.  I'll bet he says that name 50 times at least.

I was thinking Cooper DeJean was going to stick around until GB’s pick at 41, but the Eagles swooped in. I wonder if GB traded back because of that.

Edit: Looks like GB got pick 68168 and 190 to move from 41 to 45. Not bad I guess.

Edit edit: the website I looked at for the trade info typo’d the pick #

Agreed.

I liked the idea of DeJean being the other safety but I wasn’t married to it. Pairing Walker and Cooper is fantastic, and we got extra picks to do it? I’m sold.

Veritasium did an interesting video on game theory. One of the takeaways was kind of a sequence of success. No plan < bad plan < good plan

The difference between having a bad plan and good plan was almost negligible. But both were tremendously better than no plan at all. (ie Bears, Panthers, Commanders, Jags, Giants)

Has GB lost some SB opportunities in the last few years? Sure. Is it because of their skill position drafting? Most likely not.

Lafleur or Gute recently postulated an interesting idea that if GB defense had generated just a couple more takeaways last season (differential 0) that they likely advance to final playoff rounds.

Gute has been hit or miss on drafting skill players in the first 3 rounds and GB hasn't drafter higher than 12 since 2009. He's found both studs and duds in later rounds which gives some credence to the strategy of drafting often with 13 picks this year.

With a new D-coordinator and some high defensive picks, they're still sitting on 8 picks for the rest of the weekend. It'll be very exciting to see what this team does in 2024.

Consensus is GB has had a strong draft so far even if the players don't wow anyone like other big name players.

After watching Kurt Warner and RG3 talk about Penix, I feel better about the pick.  Seems that people who actually know what they are talking about think that he is the best passer in the draft.  RG3 claims that he throws the best ball, reads D the best, and has better tape than any other QB in the draft.  Only drawbacks are injury history and age.  

Sure, I wish that they didn't give Cousins all that money if they planned to go with Penix, but there was no guarantee that Penix would be available.  Penix can learn behind Cousins for two years, then become the starter.  

Will also add that 66 QBs started NFL games last year, so there is an argument to be made that a good backup is not a luxury pick.

Penix was the guy I wanted the Broncos to get. I like Bo Nix but really wanted Penix. He seems like a smart QB.

Bengals picked a lot of amazing athletes...Elite football players, not so much.

Unfortunately when it's all said and done, they may have had the weakest draft in the AFCN and among the better teams in the AFC.

When it comes to team draft grades, everyone is just guessing.  I lost count of how many times the “experts” claimed the Browns “won” the draft.

Can’t say I’d put that on Williams.

That was a great finish though.  The refs were even trying to screw Tulane at the end and they still pulled off the improbable comeback.

What are you smoking? Penix is a second round talent. If he was the best passer, best reader of defenses, etc. he wouldn’t have been the 4th QB selected.

I'm happy with what the Chiefs did.  Picking at the back of the draft every year along with the salary cap is what makes it hard to repeat.  I like what they did with the first two picks and Jaden Hicks is a steal in the 4th round.  Stud safety would start right away on a lot of teams.  Would have liked to have seen a D-lineman in there somewhere.  It really came down to 2 interior o-lineman or 1 and 1 interior d-lineman.  Looking ahead after next season I think they did the right thing loading up interior lineman and a nice swing tackle in round two.

Steelers looking more complete now than in years.  Looking forward to the revamped O Line.   Harris and Warren will be beasts next year.

Bill drafted fairly well up until about ten years ago, then his GM wheels started falling off. By the end, he was pretty bad. As a coach, I believe he was still top 5, but as a GM, I believe he was bottom 5.

No coach can overcome that stench.
