NFL OFF-SEASON THREAD 2022-23: FanDuel getting everybody hemmed up. ESPN went Kamikaze. We in that dead zone of the year y’all.

I will still never understand the drafting of Kellen Mond. Dude was slightly above trash in college and played a style that doesn't fit the NFL.

Same. Put a stamp on the end of Spielman's era. Mond was/is terrible.

but i thought dude would be good value in the 2nd

Mayock looking bad, if he wasn't already. I think he got too cute trying to outsmart everyone because he's better than that Raiders tenure. Or maybe not?

Personally I think Mayock was solid. Ultimately he constructed a roster that improved its record each season he was employed, and a roster that got the team to the playoffs for the first time in years.

We pretty much know for a fact that Gruden had extensive input into the draft process, we just don't know how much. There were always rumors that Gruden's influence slanted heavily towards the first round and premium picks and personally I subscribe to that rumor.

Could explain the contrast between all the wasted draft capital in those rounds (even though it's disingenuous to label the Ruggs pick as that) and some of the great value found in later rounds.

Hunter Renfro, Maxx Crosby, Trayvon Mullen, Nate Hobbs, Tre'von Moehrig, Divine Deablo, all great picks. Not to mention spotting Darren Waller on another team's practice squad.

After all the chatter heard about the past regime, I'm far more inclined to give Mayock the benefit of the doubt than Gruden.

That Amazon football

You gonna have deion sanders fingers fr playing with that ball. Foh

It's a marketing gimmick.

 

[frink85]

Doesn’t having a separate ball for specific games screw with stats? Dumb as hell just put an Amazon logo on a regular ball. Has to be fake right?

the thing with Mayock was his misses were really BAD. It almost nullified the good picks.

current Patriots beat writer: "I left the Vikings and watching Kirk Cousins and that offense to see THIS offense?!?!"

 

[raider5]

i think part of Mayock debate is how much of those were his picks and how much were Gruden picks?

Heavily influenced by the classic Nike JogaTV add campaigns from 2006.

Didn’t the NFL borrow the idea from Nike in an add campaign before?

I remember those NFL videos being pretty funny too.

Wasn’t it Powerade that started that type of ad campaign with the Players doing insane shh
