So, uh, the Bears currently have four picks in this year’s draft… They could trade down at Nine and reap a few picks for volume but ultimately it seems like they've been trying to figure it out in Free Agency and have hard focused Caleb as the draft prize.

Outside of the big trade for Burns and signing Singletary, Giants have been quietly building some nice depth in the weakest parts of the team like the O-line. Makes me think the first round pick is going to be a wide receiver unless one of the major QB prospects ends up falling to sixth (and I don't mean JJ McCarthy). I don't know if I can recall a draft prospect who had such high praise from draft analysts and experts yet such a low perception among fans as J.J. McCarthy. Christian Hackenberg. The answer is always Christian Hackenberg for me, they talked him up as the next big thing at QB for four years up to and even after the Draft and as someone who watched him at Penn State, I never understood what the f*** they were talking about, he sucked, always did suck, and when he got to the NFL, shocker... he sucked.

I don't know if I can recall a draft prospect who had such high praise from draft analysts and experts yet such a low perception among fans as J.J. McCarthy. No NFL fan base wants anything to do with him on their team, yet he's being mocked as high as third overall in the upcoming draft. Speaking as a fan of a team that desperately needs a quarterback, I'd say Caleb Williams is clearly the consensus top quarterback, followed by Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye, or Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels (they're neck-and-neck), with Bo Nix, Michael Penix Jr., and J.J. McCarthy as the kind of quarterbacks you'd be generally alright with as high second-round selections. But given the sudden hype around him, I feel like some GM is going to talk himself into McCarthy as a first-rounder. Christian Ponder and JP Losman. It seems like a theme where there's a solid (2012) to great (2004) QB class where a team talked themselves into getting a QB NO MATTER WHAT. And they both, like McCarthy, were late risers. Also, WILD to see where some places are projecting Bo Nix to go. Some team is going to get exactly what they deserve.

Chase Young is going to the Saints to bolster an already great defense
Niners have lost quite a lot of talented players so far in the offseason. Feel like this isn't a bigger story because of how stacked they were roster wise.

Tyron Smith is going to the Jets. Great player but also someone prone to a lot of injuries.

I'm a Michigan fan, but I don't know if I see JJ as a long term starter. I think he'll be a quality backup.

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.

Man, what is in the water in Cleveland? I didn’t foresee anyone interested in offering Jeudy an extension right now but they gave him a 3 year extension for $58M, $41 of it guaranteed. He’s still on his rookie deal and secured an extension after becoming disposable in Denver.

I am guessing they setting up for when Cooper leaves BUT Jeudy has not shown consistently that he is that guy that can be worth that type of money

To the surprise of absolutely no one, going on the run to avoid getting arrested led to the Lions releasing Cam Sutton.

So Sneed went to the TITANS for a 2025 3rd Round Pick
... Not shocked Sneed left, more shocked it's the Titans, I thought the Colts were the dead favorites to get them and instead he lands at their rival, that's... gotta sting a bit.

Not shocked Sneed left, more shocked it's the Titans, I thought the Colts were the dead favorites to get them and instead he lands at their rival, that's... gotta sting a bit. Apparently the Colts became allergic to Sneed’s extension demands. The Titans are giving him a 4 year, $76M extension, which only kicks in after his tag contract expires. The fact that Sneed is already 27 would make many teams leery of giving out a 5 year contract. You’ll happily do that for an elite QB. You’ll probably do that for an O-lineman. An elite DT doesn’t make you nervous getting a contract that ends at 32. Cornerback? That is quite a gamble. Even Gilly wasn’t worth that kind of money when he reached the wrong side of 30.

Hope he's happy when they all get paid like shit (for an NFL player) because they threw away their leverage.
