  1. Hockenson also ran a 4.7 40. Gronkowski ran a 4.68. Kelce ran a 4.61. TEs generally aren't running 4.4s. It's why they are TEs and not WRs. It's also worth noting that Mitchell's 40 time and measurables came from high school and not after 4 years of athletic training in college.
  2. St Brown ran a 4.6. Mitchell is almost as fast as our best receiver. Mitchell has excellent hands. His catch percentage was 100% granted on only 11 targets but he also showed great hands in college. A big TE who is a reliable pass catcher is valuable.
  3. "Mitchell certainly fits within that “potential impact-maker” role that teams are likely to find on Day 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft. While serious injury in his senior season may cloud his projection and make his evaluation a little tricky, his scouting report reveals a talented tight end with plenty to offer." "Mitchell is an alluring prospect as a pass catcher. His tape is littered with excellent examples of his securing catches in even the toughest of situations. The Virginia Tech TE is a reliable receiver, with zero dropped receptions in the games studied. This isn’t simply the result of excellent quarterback play. He can make remarkable adjustments to the ball, even bending his 6’4″ frame down to scoop the ball up from within an inch of the turf." "Mitchell also showcases some play strength as a blocker, particularly against the run. In summation, Mitchell presents as a versatile NFL Draft tight end prospect with particularly impressive pass-catching ability. A former team captain, he plays with competitive toughness while possessing special-teams experience. That should help him carve out an NFL role while developing." https://www.profootballnetwork.com/james-mitchell-virginia-tech-te-nfl-draft-scouting-report-2022/
  4. "I see a solid backup with good YAC talent who might end up in a starting role at some point." -- Scout for AFC team https://www.nfl.com/prospects/james-mitchell/32004d49-5433-2595-1036-880278848904
  5. Would Marjorie like to identify that state in blue in the bottom right quadrant of the map?
  6. I hope the Lions don't give him a cent. The Lions literally bankrupted Charles Rogers but we hear more from this crybaby after they paid him $113 million.
  7. "The overwhelming focus is on solving full self-driving. That’s essential. It’s really the difference between Tesla being worth a lot of money or worth basically zero." Elon Musk says solving self-driving is the difference between Tesla being worth a lot or nothing | Electrek As you can see, the reason he keeps up the FSD lie is because Tesla is worthless without it. That's straight from his mouth. He's a charlatan. "The automaker has been selling a FSD package for up to $12,000 that comes with a few driver assist features and the promise that Tesla will eventually enable self-driving capability through future software updates. Tesla has missed a few deadlines on that front, and it is still not clear when the company can deliver on the promise." He's also a grifter. He's been taking money for FSD since 2016. Since then, GM and Ford have come out with actual self driving systems. GM even beat Tesla to robotaxis. Another thing Tesla promised. The problem is, Tesla's hardware that you are paying over $10k for, isn't even capable of FSD. No other CEO could get away with this.
  8. No way Jim Farley could say back in 2014 that a full self driving option will be available within the next year and still be CEO. No way he could then sell FSD in 2016 as a $10,000 option with the promise it will be available within another year and 7 years later it still isn't available. No way he could announce the Ford Lighting in 2019 and take deposits with the promise it would go into production by 2020 only for it to be delayed to 2024 at the earliest. No way can he announce a Roadster in 2017, take full payment of $250,000 to preorder with the promise it would deliver in 2020, and still not deliver the Roadster as of 2023. No way could he market adaptive cruise and lane keep assist as Autopilot the way Musk has which has literally killed people. His valuation is based on these lies and many more. Tesla's are rated as among the least reliable cars. They are well known for their terrible build quality. They have massive panel gaps, they don't get the advertised driving range, their door handles are known to not work, and they are known to leak and cause mold. There's not much difference between Tesla and Theranos. Tesla is losing their shit in China. BYD has surpassed them in sales and Tesla is falling like a rock in China.
  9. Yes I give him credit for being a charlatan and a modern day PT Barnum as well. His stock valuation is based on lies and deceit and taking advantage of his cult like following.
  10. Wrong thread.
  11. Elon Musk was not the founder of Paypal. His company merged with another company and Musk was replaced as CEO before the company was even named PayPal, had their IPO and was acquired by eBay.
  12. LOL Elon Musk was born to one of the wealthiest people in South Africa and fled to Canada to avoid military service. That sounds like a certain orange fatass from Queens.
  13. A lot of the TDs to Wright and Zylstra were wide open. I'm not sure Hockenson is as wide open as Wright and Zylstra on some of these TDs. Most of the time they were blocking and then slipped out. No team is going to just lose track of Hockenson like that in the end zone, at least not as often.
  14. Another reason a divisional opponent is likely out is because these international games are early. The Chiefs are the only AFC West team in the central time zone. They really going to have the Chargers which would be a marquee matchup at like 6 AM in LA?
  15. If we look at the Chiefs home schedule, and eliminate divisional opponents which don't happen often on these international games, the Lions look like the best matchup. The Chiefs host Buffalo, Cincinnati and Philadelphia which would be marquee matchups, but I think the NFL would rather save those for Sunday/Monday night or Thanksgiving. Their other two non divisional home games are Detroit and Chicago. The Detroit game would be a much better matchup and the Lions have the better St Brown.
  16. The storylines, outside of the bizarre how Mahomes is underrated and the Chiefs are being disrespected, will be St Brown and his ties to Germany. St Brown will probably even do interviews in German.
  17. Makes sense. The NFL likes non divisional matchups for these international games and this would be one of the more intriguing matchups. Also, St Brown is the only player I know of with any sort of connection to Germany.
  18. Doesn't get enough credit for the turn around he did with Stafford.
  19. I think Quinn was building a team better suited for the 90's. Big and physical but lacks speed and athleticism. He liked offensive lineman and was frankly pretty good at drafting lineman. Decker, Ragnow, Jackson, and Glasgow turned out to be good picks. Looking at his other picks, he went for size and physicality over speed and athleticism like Tavai, A'Shawn Robinson and Golladay. I also think he wanted a running oriented team by drafting guys like Kerryon Jonson and Swift.
  20. Then why didn't they do it with Hockenson? He had averaged nearly 2.5 targets more per game in Minnesota and over 2 more receptions per game in Minnesota and was on pace for over 100 catches with Minnesota.
  21. I mean, they traded away Hockenson so they could go with mediocre TEs so I think they are fine with it.
  22. I'm upset the Democrats rigged a 600,000 vote win for Benson but couldn't find 1,600 votes to rig Marlinga over James.
  23. Hockenson's production went up after he left Detroit. In Minnesota Hockenson was averaging nearly 2.5 more targets per game. He was on pace for over 100 catches with Minnesota. If the Lions were going to take a TE in the upper rounds, they would have just kept Hockenson and used him the way Minnesota did.
  24. I understand that but just get rid of it then instead of charging for something that is inferior. I don't know any company that charges for any form of 2FA.
