@canefan Both Jones and Lance have gone to excellent situations
You couldn't do better right? Both well coached, well rounded teams

We won 6 games year because we had a historic injury list.
Jimmy G, Kittle, Bosa, all injured

Didn't manage to follow day 2 live but doesn't seem to have been many shocks. Trask at the bucs will be an interesting watch. I think he's a long shot to make it but he's got plenty of time to grow. Mond in the 3rd feels like a massive reach to me, sure the vikes could have got him later, but I guess they had a bunch of extra picks so just wanted to get him.
I was expecting the Jets to trade down and recoup picks after jumping up for avt. They love Elijah Moore though and reckon they got 3 first round quality players. Zach Wilson has no excuses now. His blindside protection will be up there with the best in the league, his receiving corps is stacked with dynamic talent and the lafleur flavour of the shanahan offence should be friendly. I'm also picking one of the jets rbs to have a massive season in a run friendly offence with two road graders to run behind, but the tricky bit will be picking who that will be. Lots of rumours that they were looking at drafting one of the top guys, but if they don't take any I think Ty Johnson could top 1000 yards.

@cyclops Trey Lance at 3 to the 49ers? From North Dakota State ... after 1 game.
Wow, that's some brain bending shit. Hope they know what they're doing

Give this a read for an interview with Shanahan about Lance (scroll down til you get to The Lead).

They were pretty damn thorough. No guarantees but it's hard to argue with their process

DK Metcalf ran in the heats for the Olympic trials for the 100m metres.
He ran last, but in a decent time of 10.37
But the thing was, you look at him at the start line. With him there, all those other sprinters, who normally look massive, looked like middle distance runners. He is fucking massive.

@cyclops said in NFL Season 2020/21:
No fairy tales for DK but I love that he went out and did it rather than just talk shit.
and by god he looked big compared to the others.
Also, would love to see the sprinters do that after 40 minutes of getting smashed in tackles!

Only just last, though, he was right in it.
The NZ record is only 10.11. Reckon if he specialised he could have a fair old crack at it

Julio Jones to the Titans. Oooh but they are gonna be fun to watch with two elite receivers and Henry running the ball
Jones is one of my favourite players in the league.

2nd round pick and something else that has yet to be announced (5th rounder, pick swap, something like that)
Atlanta moved a big salary.

A 2nd plus a little more feels a little steep for a guy who realistically only has a couple of seasons left in him and struggles to play full seasons.
But the Titans are a team with Superbowl ambitions and Jones is a major upgrade for them so it makes sense for them to pull the trigger now.
If Jones is fit for the playoffs and on the field for more than 10 games this is a pretty good trade for the Titans.
As mentioned, the falcons are deep in cap hell at the moment so they needed to do this or something similar. Matt Ryan is yet more proof that there is nothing worse for a franchise than a QB who is almost good enough to be a franchise qb.
