TL-TwoWinsAway Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Wow, so many close losses. I was on the fence on the Ragnow trade as it was. Out of respectful curiosity: if keeping Ragnow would've got the Lions into the playoffs, would you have opted to go in that direction? (I'm not saying that you were wrong to do it, or that we can predict injuries or anything... just curious.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Eagles taking a QB named Bacon? What did Stearn die? I see they had another poor year but still. Carson Wentz all over again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm not saying that you were wrong to do it, or that we can predict injuries or anything... just curious.) I still think it’s really doubtful a Center made that big of a difference in sim. More likely all the injuries I had (Darby, McGowan) led to the worse record. The really dumb part is that after trading a 1st for Ragnow the Bucs just let him walk in FA.

MKnight82 Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 @Danger QB Don Stearn - 4,564 yards, 25 TDs, 17 INTs, only 58% completion rate and 7.5 ypa. That completion % was 31st in the league amongst starting QBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL-TwoWinsAway Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 It's a ridiculously good, young roster. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Lions thing and, instead, take the TE early and wait on the CB until the 4th-5th round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the top CB Bob Rivers is pretty good and he had some positive press saying he was the top CB in college football last year. The #2 CB Donte Bendict is a better athlete though. I have both 100% scouted and both are listed as "Round 1" talents, which means neither will likely be as high as 76 OVR, but if one of them hits a hidden dev then that's a score. Bob ran a 4.41, 2nd in 3 cone, 7th in shuttle. B MC, C ZC, B PRS, C CTH, A BS, A TKL, C AWR. 5'10" Donte ran a 4.31, 3rd in 3 cone, 4th in shuttle. B MC, C ZC, B PRS, A CTH, A BS, C TKL, B AWR. Also 5'10" Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. It's definitely something that has to be considered, but I just love me high awareness. I'm #TeamBendict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
