I figure if the Bengals really have concerns about his hand size, they can bring him in the building and measure them themselves.

It's not uncommon for the #1 and #2 names to be known but not the order (e.g. Luck and RG3, Manning and Leaf) but it's super rare that you can't even come up with a strong argument for the other guy at #1.

The whole "Burrow does/doesn't want to go to the Bengals" thing is a controversy manufactured to deal with the fact that the #1 overall pick has not been this obvious, this early in the process in over a decade. We need something to talk about and there's no way to say "Will the team picking #1 who needs a QB, pick QB A or QB B" because the second guy is hurt.

I mean, if you have a kicker you can count on, don't get cute (c.f. Gould, Robbie.)

Is there any reason to suspect that "doing athletic testing in the evening instead of in the morning" will throw off the value of the testing data as a historical comparison? As for the OL arm length issue it seems like the threshold should be "anything over 33" is not a minus".

There's a better chance Washington passes on Young to take Okudah than passing on Young to take Tua, IMO.

Green Bay fans who lived through "Jeff Saturday Packers Pro Bowl Center" probably should not need to be reminded about this, but here we are.

For a lot of positions "pro bowl" is more about name recognition than "how good you are." If you're going to do this sort of analysis, it's better to look at something like PFR's Approximate Value statistic. Fans are notoriously bad about picking offensive linemen, IDL, DBs, etc. and the "linebacker" position is entirely skewed towards pass rushers.

I don't get why some people hate fun.

It feels like the best preventative for regression is "score more points than you did last year" which feels doable.

I'm happy for Andy Reid and I don't mind seeing Patrick Mahomes everywhere for the next few months because he sounds like a muppet and that's delightful.

A 4-3 defense requires more investment in "off ball" LBs than a 3-4 does. Why on earth would we want to do that considering the state of that group.

I honestly would have had Atwater as the 4th of the 4 safeties in the finalists this year. Wow.

From a strategic perspective, I'm gonna blitz my invisible safety a lot.
