Bengals getting good value on their picks so far, based on ratings. The WR is the best value rated about 30 picks higher than where the Bengals got him. No reaches for the Bengals in these picks.

I haven't been watching the draft. I just now went and looked at who picked who in round 2 and what a surprise. Jenkins was the 6th DT taken in round 2? There were some reaches ahead of the Bengals for sure. The shocker was Sweat getting picked this early. After the DWI on top of his other character issues, I thought he was round 4 at best. The Bengals have to be happy that Jenkins was still available after all those DT's got picked ahead of them. And what are the Falcons doing? It is like they are evaluating players different than everyone else in the NFL.

That looks like one heck of a get for Harlan.

These size of these top rated DT's is interesting. Many of them, more than half, are under 305 pounds, which feels light in today's NFL. Jenkins listed at 299 is one of the bigger DT's in the top of the draft.

I believe he was the third ranked DT by a lot of the analysts.

I will say this about Mims. The few clips I saw of him were very impressive. Great foot work and great mobility for someone his size.

These guys who weigh three hundred and forty pounds and look like they're in great shape are amazing.

I think I saw this post in 2023, and 2022, and 2021, and ..... how long have you been a Steelers fan?

The only player you listed that I think could start next year is the WR. Personally, I have higher hopes for Volson than Karras.

I keep thinking about Cedric Ogbuehi.

The downside of playing AL teams.

What player could they have taken at 18 that would be starting this coming season? With Trent Brown's injury history, odds are Mims will play some.

Reds were over 2 million last year. I think they will exceed that this year.

Was there ever any doubt Bryce Harper would hit a HR today for his newborn daughter?

Reds averaging 21,143 per game which is #21 of 30 MLB teams.

India back in the lineup today. Ar 14-10, best start for the Reds since 2006.

Not buying slam dunk Mr. Football. Favorite, but not slam dunk.

No. Will sit tight. If Bowers drops to them at 18, which several earlier mock drafts predicted, I still am not sure they would draft him. I think they will go OT or DT. Too many WR's available to spend pick 18 on a WR. They will get a WR on day 2.

I also heard Quaintance is not going to Arkansas.

Travis Perry is a Cal recruit staying at UK. He is currently the only player left with any Cal connection. As gchs said, Pope is doing a home visit with Jayden Quaintance, who was the highest rated recruit in the incoming freshman class Cal had committed to UK. Long shot IMO, but maybe Pope can work some magic.

The Reds were at home over the weekend.

The Lakers can't play any better than that, and they still lost.

The Reds have to just keep hanging in there till they get healthier. Even with all the depth they piled up this off season they are struggling putting good lineups on the field. Hang around .500 till players start coming back and that will be an accomplishment.

2 fantastic finishes tonight in the NBA. Knicks score 8 points in the last 27 seconds to steal a win from the 76ers. I took a nap during the second quarter and halftime of the Lakers and Nuggets and it was worth it. Lakers roar to a 20 point lead mid way through the 3rd quarter. Then the Nuggets just grind and grind, get it to 1 point with about 3 minutes left. LeBron hits back to back 3's. But the Nuggets keep grinding and Murray hits a fade away at the buzzer for a 2 point win. As entertaining as it gets on a basketball court.

3 players. Perry, Chandler and just got a big out of the portal from Drexel. Another BYU player perhaps is next, Richie Sanders?
