Hollywood Brown is going to the Chiefs, let's see if he actually lives up to his potential with Mahomes... Rice and Brown are likely the one and two

Herbert doesn’t exactly have a murderer’s row to throw to.

So the moves today seem to have lead to three very obvious draft outcomes
- Bears are taking Caleb Williams (And either trading or dumping Fields)
- Commanders are drafting a Quarterback at 2, likely Maye or McDaniels
- The Chargers are drafting the best WR on the Board at their position, which could be Harrison Jr, but is more likely to be Nabers

Like the pick ups of Carlton Davis and DJ Reader for the Lions. Solid additions.

Time to put a bow on my weekly reviews of "The Dynasty" on Apple TV+.
At least it's over.
This was one of the great missed opportunities in the history of sports documentaries. Apple TV+, author Jeff Benedict, and director Matthew Hamachek had a chance to make football's answer to "The Last Dance" - a sprawling, decades-long look under the hood of the greatest dynasty in the history of the sport - but instead they opted for the clickbait, headline-grabbing gossip that dominated local sports radio over the past 20 years. This was a grotesque misfire made not for Patriots fans, hell not even for football fans, but for people who don't watch football but want 10 episodes of juicy drama while they look up from their phones during the boring football parts.
And even more unseemly is that it was seemingly made to totally diminish and demonize Bill Belichick's accomplishments. For the past 20-plus years, the conversations around New England and the NFL have been who is the reason for the Patriots' dynasty - Belichick or Tom Brady? Well, it seems like from this documentary that Robert Kraft feels the need to nudge his way into the conversation and say, "well actually I'm the reason!" Kraft is portrayed as the saintly figure who saved New England from losing its franchise (which is true), then did all he could to hold together a winning organization while Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick actively worked to undermine it.
If you want perhaps the most obvious proof of that, look to how episode 9 opens - with an extended takedown of Belichick for writing a letter in support of a certain political candidate. But when it comes time to address Kraft's longtime friendship with this candidate, or Tom Brady having a red hat for said candidate in his locker, that gets a quick, blink-and-you-miss-it soundbite. The focus is all about Belichick and how he was hypocritical and undermining his team and its culture.
I was surprised (hell, shocked) that episode 10 had such an extended focus on Super Bowl LIII and gave proper credit to Bill Belichick for forming the masterpiece of a gameplan that held the Sean McVay Rams to 3 points and 0 plays inside the red zone. Especially considering the way "The Dynasty" mowed through the 2003 and 2004 seasons and championships - when the Patriots truly became a dynasty - in a matter of about 90 seconds.
But one episode lauding the greatest coach in NFL history for perhaps his finest work does not make up for the other nine episodes blaming him for all the team's failures - real and perceived. And that's the other thing that "The Dynasty" focuses entirely too much on - the failures. This show is called "The Dynasty," right? You would think the Patriots were also-rans who lucked into a Super Bowl or two over their 20-year run, because after the first three episodes, which are centered around Super Bowl XXXVI, the episodes then dedicate energy to Spygate, Tom Brady's torn ACL, Aaron Hernandez, Deflategate, the benching of Malcolm Butler in Super Bowl LII, and the end of the Dynasty. Five of the six championship victories are treated like footnotes to the overarching story - Belichick and Brady hated each other and Kraft was doing all he could to hold it together.
Just an unbelievably terrible series that seemingly spits in the face of the Patriots' legacy.

Garoppolo to the Rams on a 1 yr I’m guessing that Wentz didn’t impress them. I’d have thought he was a better match for Stafford’s play style than Jimmy.

There’s reporting that L’Jarius Sneed is about to be traded to the Colts as soon as they can work out a long term deal between Indy and Sneed.

I'm happy with Josh Sweat coming back for the defense and Kenny Pickett as a much more reliable backup than Mariota behind Hurts
Eagles have been having a really nice FA so far imo
