    Steve Keim Opens Up About Mental Health Issues

    I have sympathy for him, although I haven't listened to the podcast yet. (Maybe after the draft when I'm starving for content.) Work stress absolutely wrecked my life for a while. Lots of people in my profession cope with alcohol, and it's taken me a little bit to get better with that. I can't...

    What is your definition of "haul"?

    It's MHJ or bust for me, but for the sake of conversation, the Vikings deal is the only one I can swallow, and I'd want something more, like another 3rd this year. Which I don't think is realistic for McCarthy or Maye, soooo... The rest would leave me very disappointed. They could mitigate my...

    Ossenfort is Kicking the Hornets’ Nest in this Draft.

    I'd argue we got screwed in that we passed up on the rookie of the year on defense for what isn't an extremely premium pick. Screwed is hyperbole, but it's still enough to leave a bad taste in one's mouth.

    OT: 2024 NFL Draft Rumors

    It should at least be rounds one and two on a Friday night or whatever. Make it an event. Then do the rest on Saturday. Heck, we're lucky enough to be PST/MST during the 1st, which lasts a full four hours. I'm hosting a draft party but everyone has to be back to work in the morning, which makes...

    OT: 2024 NFL Draft Rumors

    Someone can jump into 5 and take Odunze potentially ahead of us. I know Nabers is also considered a top prospect, but... meh. I don't want to make it sound like I don't like either Odunze or Nabers, because I do, but I think we're getting too cute. Marvin Harrison Jr. just feels like a lock...

    Mock Draft 2024 Thread

    There's safeties I definitely like in the late 3rd/4th. I think it's the nature of the simulator that I'm using where I end up going Tez Walker, who I think is a tremendous value at the end of the 3rd/early 4th. But I agree with you, a late day 2 or early day 3 investment at Safety isn't a bad...

    Mock Draft 2024 Thread

    @oaken1 I did one more paying attention to the OL... but I really dislike where it puts us at CB still. But I'd be happy with it.

    Mock Draft 2024 Thread

    Well, the Chiefs have an amazing defensive player up front in Chris Jones, and the 49ers have a line that's anchored by the player I think we should have taken over Kyler (Nick Bosa). We happened to pass on the defensive rookie of the year last year, too. Right now we're talking about taking a...

    Mock Draft 2024 Thread

    Top CBs in this league aren't found late. Are you talking about day three picks and "June 1st cuts," which haven't produced anything in forever these days, given the delayed designation you can give now? Strengthening the front 7 doesn't happen with one DT and a backup OL. I guess I just don't...

    Mock Draft 2024 Thread

    Why isn't CB on your list? I find that one of our most disastrous positions. I don't think we can cover anyone with the current lineup.

    Mock Draft 2024 Thread

    Sorry, he scares me. 8 starts? A significant injury history? It feels like a Keim pick. I would argue that generally, a team picking at 27 is probably good enough to take the risk to sideline a guy like Mims and develop him based on upside. As a really bad team overall, I'd like to get some...

    Mock Draft 2024 Thread

    The way the draft has been falling to me in multiple mocks, it's either been reach for an OT or take a player I consider a much higher talent at what's still a major position of need. It's tough because we absolutely suck at CB, our DL is stuffed with nobodies, and our situation at Edge is...

    Mock Draft 2024 Thread

    Forcing myself to stay put, I went with this. I'd be very happy with it all. I'm not sure I think it's entirely realistic at some spots, but it'd put us in a great spot. I see us coming away with 3-5 starters with this approach.

    Only because he found a golden goose. With the Cardinals luck, we'll just find a regular goose.

    I dunno, it was before she got mega famous so maybe she's changed. Went out of her way to be really nice to a scared little girl at Disneyland. Apologized for bumping into me. Seemed super sweet.

    My Biggest Draft Worry

    One thing I will say about the Paris Johnson thing is that if DJ Humphries goes down last season and we don't have PJJ, the pick here is probably Joe Alt instead of a receiver. So there's that to consider.

    Cards Trade Request Will Be Met

    I think the issue in my book has been that for the past say, 5 years, there's a lot of vocal people who said starting RBs can be had outside of day 2 "commonly." Or that they're everywhere. I know the era of the true bellcow RB is mostly dead, but most teams still have a main guy who dominates...

    Cards Trade Request Will Be Met

    Ehhh, agree to disagree here. I've read a lot of comments from people (and I don't have the time to dig and say exactly who at the moment) who have made it pretty clear they feel like they can make it work with late rounders and that they're prevalent in the league. I agree with you on that...

    Cards Trade Request Will Be Met

    Like Ouchie said, people didn't think that back then but it has become an epidemic these days that's misguided. There's only like 4-5 starters in the league drafted outside of the top 3 rounds now.

    Cards Trade Request Will Be Met

    The owners meetings are when you start saying stuff that is classic smokescreen season. And no, you're not wrong about the metrics that I presented in the past, but there ARE times where there's clearly highly talented players and you need to take the risk. If we had anyone of worth on this...

    Cards Trade Request Will Be Met

    Sure, but just like us I don't think the Chargers want to hamstring their young franchise QB with what could be a bunch of dreck. It's really almost the exact same situation for both franchises, so I'm not sure why the narrative is any different.

    Cards Trade Request Will Be Met

    Yes, but Quentin Johnston was embarrassingly bad. Michael Wilson massively outperformed him in less games. If you guys think we need to be concerned with Wilson as our #2... QJ is even more alarming. And Josh Palmer is a #3.
