Schoen always says he has trades in place ahead of time if the board lines up, could be that, but for later rounds too.

Joe,

I appreciate that outliers can play.  That's why I made it clear it was a minor concern.  Ideally, you would prefer 195 or 200 pounds, but 185 isn't the end of the world.

Jess,

I don't think there is a villain in this event.  As you said, companies can make their own decisions for good or bad.  That said, I thought Bobby and Justin were a great pairing.   Justin's stats and analytics were a good match with Bobby's on-the-field scouting and Xs and Os ability.

I will say that Bobby brings a level of knowledge and understanding of the game that's rare (especially being able to explain it in ways people can understand).  If I were Johnboy, I would have let Bobby stay in Florida, but I don't own that company, and what I think doesn't matter.

I liked the pair, and I hope both of them do well in their separate ventures.

Two Thirds this year (65 and 99) and a Second and Fifth next year

The weight is only an issue sometimes, I forget the kids name but the corner out of Miss state that Washington took at like 170lbs in the 1st round a couple years ago that had a ton of ints but as soon as he got to the league floundered because of his size. So people freak out about weight, but there are a ton of 185lb wrs and corners.

Just for reference you guys could do the podcast on discord with an add on that records and takes up barely anything. I use it for all the youtube videos I upload when I collaborate with other creators. Just a suggestion, because it also makes it easier to upload to YouTube, Twitter, or wherever and you can add video as well.

Justin said Talkin Giants would continue, and that Bobby would start his own show at some point.

Here is his new show

I just hope we finish this offensive rebuild by drafting more skilled position players and starting OL help.  Draft Hunter, then go OL, WR and RB for the rest of the draft as far as I am concerned.  If Wilson/Winston fail, at least we'll have a full rebuild and can just get a rookie QB in 2026.
