But boy, they make some serious bank from it. Brady about to make 30K just signing those items.

I think he probably makes more than that. They charge like $700.

I'm just assuming he has to give a percentage to someone for it (like Upper Deck or his agent or something) so I'm being conservative when I say 30K
Small hands though.
Wait they measure neck circumference?

Well I already acknowledged the tweet wasn't necessarily "news", but I just wanted to chat.
No need to be a jerk about it.

I'm not dissing you, but the media that jumps on every phone call as evidence a deal is about to go down.
"Let's fill empty space with fake news."
It's interesting that most of the deals that do go down aren't predicted by the media, probably because when negotiations get serious, both parties will fire anyone who leaks before they can complete the deal. So most of the leaks tend to be non-events or deliberate misinformation.
I mean there were no hints we were going to trade with Miami.
On the other hand, Wentz to Indy didn't require inside information, and not sure how much of the Chicago interest was alternative facts leaked by the Eagles to make it look like there were alternative suitors or actual leaks out of Chicago.
Anyone ever seen the movie Big Fan? Whenever I see this happen that's all I think about.

I honestly cannot even really think of too much off the top of my head. Not that I’ve done extensive research on the draft. Like Marvin Wilson was a big name coming into the past season but he tumbled.

This guy is like the Wayne Gretzky of getting in trouble with the law.
Can't stop running these mock drafts! Did some wheeling and dealing in this one. I chose Farley over Waddle at 15. Horn, Smith, and Surtain were all gone at 12. Waddle, Farley, Darrisaw, and Slater were who I was choosing between at 12 so I traded back and they were all still there at 15. Tried to trade back further but couldn't get a deal done. Traded back up to grab Jabril Cox at 62

Barmore's a no-doubt 1st rounder. I just don't want to take him at 12. The two I generally like are Milton Williams from La Tech and Bobby Brown from TAMU, but those are end of Day 2 or early Day 3 types. There just aren't many.
I haven't and probably won't get to Alim McNeil from NC St, but he's supposedly a true NT who isn't useless rushing the passer. Levi Onwuzurike from Washington opted out, so there's very little to go on from him.

I mean, I'd be almost thrilled if that's how the draft fell in the first 3 picks.
I'd probably rather take Waddle at 15 since the injury to Farley terrifies me, but I can't hate.

I can't wait for this class to pop out like two HoF DTs now.I've got a grand total of two I like at expected ranges. It really is awful.

"Well the market changed and there's now additional scouting available after pro days and therefore more justification for spending more. It has nothing to do with Howie being a bottom."

Bird in the hand. I'm happy with #12 and another 1st round pick in a much deeper draft (and more information on draftees) next season.
And we'll see what happens on draft day.
Of course, what happens if the scouting department decides Barmore is the BPA at 12?
Should Howie listen to his scouts or the fans?
I'd be tempted to keep trading down and stockpiling 2022 picks, this is going to be such a hit and miss draft.
