Absolutely. They said giving up 3 FRPs to get McCarthy was cool, but giving up a 4 and a 5th for 6 swap was horrible. You can't make this stuff up. Walter Football has lost all credibility. I think that's based on the importance of the qb position, you can trade off more picks to get the right qb, ...

I was thinking a comparison is Micah Parsons, hopefully? About the same size and same position.

BTW, position now informally known as edge rusher, seems relatively new to call a player that, not an official designation, any of you football scholars know when that came along?

Bill Belichek gives the McCarthy pick his seal of approval.

Here is what is left for Saturday.

Remaining picks
Round 4: No. 108

Round 6: No. 177 (from Carolina through Jacksonville)

Round 6: No. 203

Round 7: No. 230 (from Atlanta through Cleveland and Arizona)

Round 7: No. 232 (from Denver through San Francisco and Houston)

JJ's press conference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKi2ck51EDE I was watching that and thinking either McCarthy is shorter than advertised or O'Connell is tall. I looked it up and O'Connell is tall, whew, McCarthy not a shrimp. McCarthy handles himself well, I always think of what I'd have been...

What did the Vikings give up? It was smart to make sure the Broncos didn't jump ahead of them. But I sure hope it wasn't a mini bidding war. I think a fourth and fifth. Not that bad. They still keep the 23rd pick, so good going, getting what they want without paying a steep price. Also I think good...

See above. I'm listening to radio in Denver, they are crushed that Vikings got McCarthy.

Vikings have 10? yup we just moved up one spot with nyj we were worried the jets would take the qb we wanted? but they were willing to trade with us? what? Worried the Broncos would jump ahead of them and go for McCarthy. At least that's the speculation here in Denver, that the Broncos would jump n...

Figured with Cousins they were out of the qb market. They really did a good job of keeping that under wraps.

Penix to Atlanta, that's unexpected.

I was thinking the Bears would be a likely candidate to trade down, but probably Vikings don't want to help someone in their division with more picks.

Giants also pass on qb, they were another team rumored to be interested in drafting one.

Yep. I hope nothing happens.

Nothing happened, Joe Alt to Chargers. Maybe the Broncos and Vikings weren't quite as eager to trade up for McCarthy as all the rumors suggested.

Baker Mayfield was taken 1st overall by the Browns Sam Darnold was taken 3rd overall by the Jets Josh Allen was taken 7th overall by the Bills Josh Rosen was taken 10th overall by the Cardinals Lamar Jackson was taken 32nd overall by the Ravens That, and then this, from today at ESPN where they are...

But the 49ers picked Lance No 3 and then Purdy with the last pick. They corrected a whiff. Lance was one of those guys who had one good season. I would never select that early. His game also revolved around his rushing ability. Again I wouldn't select that. Daniels is the same deal. One good season...
