I don’t know what a grit score is, but it is a number so it must mean something. 

It’s a score he came up with where he tries to determine who is the most Dan Campbell type player. I believe Ratledge had the highest grit score last year.

we just traded up for a receiver.

dont ever change, brad.

I'm not going to hollar and get mad over a 5th round pick. But I don't get trading up for a WR. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Thinking about it, I think I would have been willing to pick Jermod McCoy where the Raiders did. I wouldn't have roasted Brad if it didn't work out because there is such a big upside to him if he can stay healthy and ends up a success.

I’d like to see Joseph be more than “trending” in the right direction by now.

That seems to be Campbell’s go to phrase.

But, does he stare at you from his suite when you attend games?

You trade up when there's a singular player there, with a reasonable acquisition cost, who is graded far above the rest of your board.

I’ve seen at least two more DL signed as UDFA. They went heavy on the DL in this draft.

After having totally forgotten he existed, I just came across news that Diego Pavia is the first Heisman Trophy finalist since 2014 to go undrafted.  Probably my favorite story from the draft this year.

He looks like a younger version of Amik Robertson.   That’s really good for where he was taken.
