Nah, probably after they traded up to 12.

WR was probably top of their board, so they made a play for him, get a WR with a little experience, got knocked back, took the guy they were going to take anyway.

Niners crazy to not take the 10 from the Jets, or even 12 or 32, all are overs for deebo.

You've become too accustomed to qbs making wrs look good. It's the Jordy Nelson experience.

Deebo did what he did with Jimmy W and a rookie.

Absolutely mind blowing how the Bears got a C, I get what they are doing, tearing it down, but in terms of building your team they should get an E-

The fun thing is you can pretty much find a grade that fits your thoughts for each team.

Pessimists and Optimists all catered for 😛

Cant help but feel Fields is on a one way concorde to bust town , Trev might not be far behind either unless the Fearless one can weave some magic with what he has to work with.

A "D" for the Texans, feels like coming out of an exam with a big smile thinking you aced it only to be told you are just as ordinary as you were before you sat it. Meanwhile Titans lose Brown, Cards best WR gets done for PEDS, Rams do....well nothing really and all get higher grades. Screw you Chad, great name by the way :D

Yea I thought the Panthers grade was harsh at C. Texans got it far worse, D? I would have thought B at worst

I think the C is based on indecision at QB

Sticking with Rhule and hiring McAdoo was the worst part of the offseason, given we were never getting one of the franchise QBs available I think we did well to resist temptation and sit on our hands and draft Corral instead, trading for Jimmy or Baker would have been far more of a disaster.

Thought we did relatively well in free agency, im not as high on our draft class as most but I dont think it was a disaster either
 
Texans strategic vision in the Caserio era of drafts shows they obviously value guys who played in the SEC. Caserio himself said they valued the trait of having to turn up against the best week in week out like guys will have to do in the NFL.

Dameon Pierce out of Florida can be summed up by the photo of him busting through 3 guys, losing his helmet in the process but powering on for the TD without giving a second thought to his own wellbeing. A team first approach by playing in his bowl game for Florida "I'm a gator bro" whilst others worried about the upcoming draft.

Also the pick of Booker and last year Mills, both out of Stanford where both guys had high education grades shows the value of team leadership and well rounded personalities.

The strategic vision seems to be doing away with assholes who cheat, take the lazy way and dare i say it involve themselves in sex and abuse scandals whilst turning the team over to those who can make a difference both on and off the field.

Any so called draft analyst who can't see a change in strategic vision doesn't seem to be looking hard enough.

The NFL announced on Wednesday that it will feature four games for its 2022 International Series.​

Since the NFL first took to Wembley Stadium in London, England in 2007, the International Series has become a staple in the NFL. On Wednesday, four games were announced for the 2022 season, including the first game set to be played in Germany on November 13th between the Buccaneers and Seahawks. The series kicks off on October 2nd between the Vikings and Saints, followed by the Giants and Packers on October 9th. The Jaguars, who are International Series veterans at this point after playing one game in London every year since 2013, will play the Broncos in Wembley Stadium on October 30th. All games are slated to kickoff at 9:30 AM EST.
 

Ryan Tannehill said, "I don’t think it’s my job to mentor" Malik Willis.​

Though the quote sounds harsh, Tannehill would go on to add, "If he learns from me along the way, then that’s a great thing." He's not wrong. Tannehill is understandably focused on putting the Titans in a position to win in 2022, but he could have worded his answer a bit better. Tannehill also said, "We’re competing against each other." This seems to acknowledge the fact that Tannehill is unofficially on the hot seat. Any quarterback change will likely come at the end of 2022 or in 2023, but it's safe to say Tannehill knows the pressure is on.
 

Chargers signed CB Bryce Callahan, formerly of the Broncos, to a one-year contract.​

Callahan played fairly well for Vic Fangio in Denver after being ported over from Chicago in free agency; he just couldn't stay healthy. He managed just 655 defensive snaps in 2020 and 504 in 2021 over 21 games. The Chargers are fairly set with JC Jackson, Michael Davis, and Asante Samuel at corner. Callahan will be a depth piece, and perhaps play a role on pure passing downs.
 

Speaking Monday, DK Metcalf said of his contract situation: "I think we are going to get something done. I think I’m going to be in Seattle for the next coming years."​

That presumably means the Seahawks will pay him like a true No. 1 receiver despite their public reticence at the state of the WR market as it exploded this offseason. AJ Brown's big extension is just the latest set of numbers that figure to get Metcalf an average annual value around $25 million a season. Metcalf's quarterbacks and Seattle's never-ending run game commitment could help hold down his numbers in 2022, but he has WR1 talent.

Texans general manager Nick Caserio said rookie RB Dameon Pierce would have to "create a role for himself" in the team's backfield.​

"I don't think this is going to be all about offense and who is going to carry the ball and who is going to be the lead running back," Caserio said when asked about the Texans' backfield pecking order. "I think that's a bunch of BS." Language, Nick. Old-school head coach Lovie Smith and culture-obsessed Caserio seem intent on making Pierce earn his stripes in 2022 in what could be a crowded Houston backfield. Marlon Mack looked to be the best fantasy option in the Texans backfield until the team used the 107th pick in the draft on Pierce, who turned 119 touches into 790 yards (6.64 yards per touch) and 16 touchdowns for Florida in 2021. Pierce could very well be a frustrating bench stash for fantasy managers in 2022.
 

ESPN's Jordan Reid believes the Titans "are likely to force feed [Treylon Burks] as a rushing and receiving threat" in 2022.​

The 18th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and the de factor replacement for A.J. Brown -- who was dealt to the Eagles last week -- Burks should be in for a hefty workload, even in Tennessee's run-first offense. Reid said Burks "could have an impact in multiple areas because of the volume of touches he is likely to get early as a rookie." He had 29 rushing attempts for 188 yards and one touchdown in his final two collegiate seasons. At Arkansas, Burks feasted on intermediate targets and was dominant after the catch. He was highly efficient on downfield targets and ate up single coverage. Mostly a slot receiver at Arkansas, expect Burks to see more time out wide in Tennessee as the team's alpha wideout. The rookie could skyrocket up fantasy draft boards with enough hype this summer.
 

Falcons signed DT Grady Jarrett to a three-year contract extension worth up to $67 million.​

The deal includes $34.5 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jarrett, coming off a one-sack season, didn't seem all that likely to return to the Falcons in 2022 until the sides struck a deal Tuesday. A two time Pro Bowler, Jarrett, 29, will anchor the Atlanta defensive line for the foreseeable future. He's three years removed from his dominant 2019 season in which he recorded 7.5 sacks.
 

Bills general manager Brandon Beane said the team views RB James Cook as a "sub back."​

Beane added that Cook's skill set is similar to J.D. McKissic's. McKissic, of course, agreed to sign with Buffalo this offseason before changing course and re-signing with the Commanders. Beans and the Bills were apparently dead set on filling the pass-catching role in their backfield, taking Cook in the second round of the 2022 draft. Cook, who had 67 catches and 727 yards in 46 games at Georgia, deflates the fantasy upside of Devin Singletary, who emerged as an every-down back in the final weeks of the 2021 season. Beane said Cook could "handle carries too," opening the possibility of a even split in the Bills backfield this year.
 

ESPN's Matt Miller believes the Commanders took RB Brian Robinson "at least a full round" too early in the 2022 NFL Draft.​

Washington's third-round selection of the Alabama running back was something of a stunner for draft observers, and probably doesn't bode well for Antonio Gibson. J.D. McKissic re-signed with Washington this offseason and will continue dominating pass-catching duties while Robinson could eat into Gibson's early-down work in 2022. Taking Robinson in the third round was one of several objectively terrible draft decisions made by the clueless Commanders. Robinson could be a valuable end-of-bench fantasy selection who would see a decent workload if Gibson struggles with injuries this year.
 

The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar believes RB Kenneth Walker is "likely" to start "multiple" games in 2022.​

Inexplicably using a second-round pick on Walker suggests the Seahawks are unsure of Chris Carson's availability after suffering a serious neck injury in 2021. "Walker should still see a ton of snaps in camp and in the preseason ... and depending on how he looks, there’s a chance he climbs up the depth chart by the start of the regular season," Dugar said. With nothing suggesting pass-catching chops during his college career, Walker would probably be an early-down banger while Rashaad Penny took passing down duties for what will certainly be a run-first Seahawks offense. None of the Seattle running backs hold much fantasy intrigue unless one of them takes over as an every-down back.
 

Chiefs GM Brett Veach said "If it's something that makes sense, we'd definitely want him back," when asked about free agent EDGE Melvin Ingram.​

Ingram's free agency stalled out after he took a visit to Miami, and the Chiefs applied the UFA tender to him yesterday, meaning he'll still count against compensatory pick formulas. It seems likely that Kansas City will bring Ingram back at this point, but it's possible that Ingram is simply waiting the market out ala Tyrann Mathieu.
