Joe Mazulla offense in microscope

That guy is so annoying. I don’t know how anyone can listen to his screaming

Yeah, he says this stuff about every team. Every coach. Hysteria.

Stephen A Smith just said if Ime Udoka was coach last season, Celtics would went to finals

Too bad Ime couldn't put team above penis.

AD Mitchell is probably the most talented player left on the board (or C Dejean.) I can't imagine the Bills not taking him in the slot before the Pats.

If AD is taken, they might want to trade down a bit. Some teams might be desperate to move up and snag Dejean or Newton. Alot of pundits have him ranked as a mid first round talent. I want a tackle, but the value might not be there with who is left on the board. Suamataia, Morgan, Paul, and the kid from Yale are all rated in the middle 2nd or early 3rd.

I also like McConkey. He may not be a "true" x receiver, but he is very talented.

That sounds right to me.

The only thing that I can think of with ATL is that they think Penix will be an asset they can trade later.  If Cousins plays all 4 years of his contract, Penix will be 27 by then.  Penix is probably not happy about this either.  He is ready to be an NFL QB, not wait around to get traded or for Cousins to get hurt.  Or maybe they plan to trade Cousins if Penix works out?

I guess it is the most important position in sports, or so they like to say.  So maybe having redundancy or a back up plan will turn out to be smart.

There’s really no argument for Atlanta.  They won’t get #8 pick value for Penix if they try to trade him.  And Cousins has $90 million guaranteed of his $180 million, so trading him this year or next will create a significant amount of dead money.  It’s just terrible roster management.  Redundancy at QB is a luxury after you’ve filled most of your other needs — Atlanta still has needs, however, and they skipped out on a chance to fill one.

Yup.  The best value of an asset was when it was actually the 8th pick and not Penix himself.  As soon as the pick was used, it immediately lost value.

I'm baffled by this.

There was probably some reasonable trade interest in the pick, someone who wanted to jump over MIN to get McCarthy.  I certainly would have traded the pick over taking Penix.  You probably could have said to MIN, we are thinking about trading the pick to DEN.  MIN probably takes the bait and gives you something to move up.  Or maybe DEN would want to jump MIN to get McCarthy.  Hard to know for sure what options were available, but seems reasonable that there would be interesting in the pick.

Allegedly the Jets were trying to trade up to #8 to get Odunze.  At the very least, you would have thought they would have taken whatever was offered there.
