NFL 2024 | Let's Football

Not too surprising when Detroit has a population nearly 3x the size of Nashville. Saw it confirmed at 275k in Detroit yesterday compared to 200k in Nashville that first day and 600k over three days.

Nashville metro 2019 - 1.224m
Detroit metro 2024 - 3.528m
Yeah with Ann Arbor and Windsor that's often counted as part of it too it's roughly 5.5-6 million. Still weird it doesn't have a pro footie team. Especially with as rabid as Detroit fans are for Detroit FC (or any sport really) which is semi pro and really kind of a cool story. Heck it was in MI United broke their attendance record against Real.

Green Bay will have a tough act to follow after Nashville, KC and Detroit.
 
Falcons fans really loving this draft so far.

Draft - The remaining days
Don’t really like what the Packers did this night. Drafting two off ball linebackers while we already have Walker on the roster seems excessive to me.

Switch of schemes necessitated at least one more, Cooper was probably enough for day 2 though.

Yeah, I don’t mind adding new linebackers in general. But we have now drafted linebackers in the first round (Walker) and now one in the second and the third round within only a few years. For a position that doesn’t carry the highest positional value, that’s a lot.
 
Rams landing Kam Kinchens at the end of round three is a steal. He was regarded as one of the top safeties in the nation a couple of years ago and was a big INT threat despite playing for a terrible team.
 
Javon Baker has been one of my draft crushes - happy with that
 
Jaylen Wright to Miami, that is sexxxxxyyyy.

Also haven’t been following this thread but did we miss anything with Troy Franklin? 4th round seems super late.

Size and all over the shop in the gauntlet drill is all I've seen :lol:
 
Why is it that decent rookie fantasy Running Backs always seem to go to teams with solid #1 in place already man
 
Lets go round 5 I guess, four picks for the Bills :wenger:
 
Officially baffled with the Niners draft now. Individually the players aren’t bad but we now have 5 receivers despite a clear need for offensive line. We also traded two 5th rounders to move up into the end of the 4th for a running back, despite having McCaffrey, Mason who we never use and Mitchell who is a RB1 when fit. We also use Deebo as a wide back.

The offensive line is poor and only avoids being utterly shoite due to Trent Williams, who probably retires after this year.

That's perfect for Wright.

An outlier of BMI even more than Devonta Smith and supposedly character/didn't interview well.

Dang...Estime was my sleeper; good for my Broncos, not as much for fantasy.

A piss poor drill in the combine ain't gonna drop Franklin's stock by that much when his college game tape is borderline 1st round worthy. I'm assuming it was either bad medicals, character concerns or poor interviews.
 
Yeah the BMI / weight thing is overrated in today’s NFL, just look at Tank, Devonta, Worthy being a 1st rounder. Really only Tutu Atwell is a miss at that size and even him has had some moments.

Just not the year for RBs this year, next year looks sexy though.

Corum is a damn shame but he might shine if Kyren misses time, McVay loves himself a workhorse RB1.

Isaiah Davis and Braelon Allen to the Jets behind Breece also sucks. Bucky Irving behind White too, and the fecking Cowboys not even drafting one as well :lol: Jerry doesn’t dare anymore after the Zeke thing.
 
I always laugh when they cut to Jerry and his stooges. Their draft room looks ridiculously formal and the sort of place where you'd get fired for standing up at the wrong time.

Niners got themselves a 6ft 225lb RB with a 4:33 40yd dash. Looks fake on the clips I’ve seen :lol:

I was shocked the Cowboys didn't take a running back.

Jaylen Wright to Dolphins sounds great on the surface until you remember Moestert and Achane are already there.

Jonathon Brooks Im pretty confident will start early but have they done enough to rebuild their horrendous O-line.

Only have to wait another half a year to find out.

And I was hoping to take a late round flyer on somebody now sitting behind Elijah Mitchell and McCaffrey.

I was telling a two of my fellow Cowboys fans that their war-room comes off as scripted, the constant over the top congratulating after each selection as if they've pulled yet another one on all the other organizations. If you want an insight to Jerry's mindset, check out the video I posted on the previous page. https://www.redcafe.net/threads/nfl-2024-draft-day.481492/post-31875953

Think they could trade Mitchell
 
Zeke is a Cowboy again
Zeke back to Dallas.
 
The FA market should get interesting now.

For the life of me I can figure out why Justin Simmons isn’t on a team yet. I’m clinging to hope we might somehow get him back.
 
Who's going to be the odd man out at Dallas, Parsons?
Zeke is a washed up rb without many interested teams. Don’t think he’ll cost much. Dallas should easily be able to sign him without having to let someone else go. Otherwise they are in dire straits.

Shit, read that as Zak.
 

The disparity in pay between the top tight ends and WRs is nuts. Ask most NFL teams who they would rather have on their roster for free for a year - a 35 year old Kelce or AJ Brown. I'm thinking most teams would go with Travis. Then consider that both fulfill rather similar primary roles (ie. catch the football) but one is paid nearly twice as much annually and it ain't Kelce. Crazy.
