    That additional second gives them some flexibility to move up, and they can go strong if they are willing to add a future second.

    Every scenario I put together before settling on this one had the Eagles selecting a CB.

    The value at the position and the teams above them aid in setting the table for one to be available. It’s a theme that just kept repeating itself.

    It feels like the odds of someone letting Odunze or Nabers get past #9 are fairly slim, but it can’t be ruled out.

    Stacking tackles at that pick is something I would agree with, considering the injury history of Smith. If David is a lock to come in, that changes things and makes it seem like Bowers becomes the kind of luxury pick that can easily be justified.

    calculated the percentage of 1st-round picks that “hit” or “miss,” based upon whether that player signed a second contract with the team that drafted them. The data encompasses the 20 drafts spanning 2000-2019. Here are the positional hit rates:

    Jim Irsay: Colts have “great” interest in Marvin Harrison Jr.


    If Jim Irsay has his way, Marvin Harrison Jr. won’t be wearing his college number in 2024.

    The Colts have retired No. 18 for Peyton Manning, and owner Jim Irsay would like to draft receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.

    In a recent interview with Mike Chappell of Fox 59, Irsay admitted that the Colts have “great” interest in the son of Hall of Fame Colts receiver Marvin Harrison. Irsay also acknowledged that it will probably be “too difficult” to make the move from No. 15 to No. 4 with the Cardinals.

    “I wouldn’t rule anything out,’’ Irsay added. “We’re open-minded.”

    It would be an amazing move, if the Colts make it. But it would be very expensive to get all the way to No. 4.

    Maybe they’ll get lucky. Maybe the Cardinals will trade down with a team that wants the best remaining quarterback. Maybe Colts Ring of Honor member Jim Harbaugh will then do one of his various former teams a favor by letting the Colts draft the son of his former teammate in Indy.

    The Broncos have a huge interest in Bo Nix and I personally think this is very wise. Nix is underrated as to the hoopla the top 4 are getting, IMO. His stats are off the chart, great COMP% and #2 all-time in NCAA history in passing yardage. I believe someone is going to get a good one if he falls in their lap and they wont even have to trade up... I wouldnt be crying if he landed on the Vikings as Im still torn between McCarthy and Maye.

    Im not too privy on the scheme or situational circumstances in Oregon, but his stats are something to behold.

    McCarthy, Penix, and Nix will be over-drafted.
    Anyone got any day 3 sleeper picks? Getting tired of the tv draft coverage focusing on rd 1 and QB, it's becoming unwatchable. It's like draft info for noobs.

    I must have misread the title. Thanks. I just got back from my licensing exam and am a bit fried because of the late night yesterday and the technical difficulties that 2 old ladies couldn't solve while I wasn't allowed to intervene... until just when they were about to escalate it I got tired of it and asked if I could fix it.

    THEY TRIED TO DRAG A WINDOW BY CLICKING THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW AND PUTTING IN PARTIAL PASSWORDS TO RESTRICTED DOCUMENTS!
    The first 15 minutes of my exam were wasted and I couldn't get them back and I needed 10 just to get back in the proper head space. They gave us 3 hours though and I finished with 20 to spare although if it all went smoothly I'd have been done in about half the time plus some time to double check answers.

    May I ask what a 'licensing exam' is and for what? If its top-secret I have clearance credentials with the CIA, FBI, CID, HS, and the RCMP, a regular Dudley Do right I am.

    Joe, I went to company training back in 1995, they taught us about fixing their equipment. They had a 150 multiple choice test you had to pass to be able to work for them after 3 months of training. We had 3 hours to take the test, I finished it in 30 minutes and turned it in. I missed 3 questions because I didn’t know the answers, it was an open book test and I didn’t even use the book. I just turned it in with those answers wrong after 30 minutes. I also was the only one of five to answer the extra credit correctly, which was ridiculous because I told them the answer to the extra credit before we took the test. After my episode with the test they changed it from multiple choice to where you had to know the answer and write it out. The guys testing with me took the whole 3 hours so I had to wait 2 and a half hours to find out my results.

    They changed my test from mixed to full MC last year and we had pilot questions mixed in.
    Someone in the class finished in less than 30 minutes but I couldn't tell if it they did well or not. It kinda sounded like they gave up early.
    The test wasn't hard although there was some real BS that we were told not to study regarding continued training because it wouldn't be on the exam... and it was on the exam. I took 2 practice exams last night in about 45 minutes each and only got questions wrong from misreading on sleep deprivation. 75% needed to pass. If I don't get in the 90s I'll be surprised.

    Congrats, but how do you even come up with 150 questions about how to cook both sides of a patty?
