Good to have you back, Del! I was telling a buddy how great it will be for F1 to have Binotto back making key decisions to impact the championship. Drama will definitely surround. Pretty crazy that Bottas outqualified Russell in an Alfa. Toto definitely didn’t see that coming. I do think Merc will get it figured out. I too love the look of the new cars. That Williams really stands out.

He was seldom mentioned in mocks prior the combine. Now he’s #2 overalll after putting up insane numbers.

Has Will Fuller signed in Cleveland yet? I wonder if they will change their mind about Jarvis Landry.

I have to give the Browns credit for making a big move for an elite QB when they had a decent one. It’s a ballsy move that the Lions franchise never would’ve or will ever do. Then again there’s a very fine line between balls and stupidity. May end up to be dumb as hell.

One would assume they will get at least 1 first rounder back for Baker. If they can get Washington and Indy into a bidding near they may even get 2.

That is terrible. Feel horrible for him. Hopefully he’s ok.

Solid halftime adjustments by Martelli and Washington.

I would’ve liked them to bring back JRM but don’t think he’s worth that contract.

I never realized that the Koch’s bought Guardian Industries after Bill Davidson passed away. Shame.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit

The Russian military is dead. They are just a charade of what they used to be. They have been completely gutted by corrupt officials. Seems like all the money for maintenance has been diverted away and into personal Swiss bank accounts. I don’t want to play chicken and find out but I doubt their nukes are even operational anymore. Some crooked general probably sold their plutonium on the black market.

I am not sure I agree with all of his assumptions but there’s some reason in there. As I think about it more, it seems more likely that it’s not about overvaluing the current talent on the roster as I said yesterday but more about sticking with the plan. This was never a 2 year rebuild. It was always part of the plan to still struggle a bit in year 2. They aren’t tanking by any means but there’s no real rush to dramatically improve the roster this season. Getting to 7-8 wins and at least being around the playoff hunt later in the season would be a great result for year 2. I think they want to give a longer look to some players on the roster that they probably would’ve moved on from if they were a year further along in the rebuild. Will be interesting to see what they do over the next few days.

5 of these teams made the playoffs last year. 3 are still actively involved in the DeShaun Watson trade sweepstakes. 1 is owned by Daniel Snyder and has Martin Mayhew as GM.

I didn’t know it was possible for the Senate to unanimously agree anymore

I have no clue how this correlates with anything that I said. Maybe you meant to quote someone else.

When you are rebuilding, its important to take advantage of all opportunities to improve. They have elected to do nothing to enhance what they have on defense at this point of free agency. In my opinion, this is a wasted opportunity. They obviously feel much better about the talent on their current roster than what the numbers showed last year. I’m concerned as overrating your own talent is one of the big culprits for bad teams staying bad for a long time.

Lovely

I’d like to see them sign a lb like Leighton Vander Esch, Kyzir White, or dare I even say… Kyle Van Noy

Nope. Here are my thoughts. They have not upgraded their defense.

Absolutely not

Nobody has said this.

This is a terrible argument and you know it.

I respect your opinion and maybe it will turn out to be correct but I do think this is a Lion fan pipe dream. (Calvin Johnson/Rob Sims weed in that pipe btw)

They are going to need to immediately hit on a lot of picks to improve the 31st rated defense just through the draft.
