LAOJoe & RTTRUTH's 12th Annual Collaborative Mock Draft

Eyes can definitely tell a different story, depending on whose head holds em, but I don't see Nixon as the more explosive player. Nixon gets blocked one on one too often if he doesn't beat the man in front of him off of that first step. Once he's redirected, the play has to change directions before he gets realigned and back into it. Onwuzurike comes with more moves in his attack set and uses his length to his advantage throughout the entire snap by consistently reshaping the block in front of him. Where Daviyon gets stalled, Levi continues to push and shed to the backfield.

The awareness is something that I do think Nixon has an edge on, but some of that comes from his sitting into the block and waiting to see what happens next.

This will be an interesting convo to come back and look at a couple years down the road.

 

Yeah I think Collins is just a case of a guy that strait up has more value to the Giants then he may to other teams. (And I admittedly always view prospects filtered through Giants blue lenses) Landing him in this spot makes the fact that I passed on the WR's early a real easy pill to swallow. I know he doesn't have the speed Waddle brings or the route refinement of Smith -- but he is a great value pick here for the Giants and since they have a clear WR1 now in Golladay it gives Collins time to develop a bit without much pressure. They really need to give Jones every advantage to prove his doubters (including me =P) wrong this year. Collins is another big weapon.

The only pick I have ever nailed exactly right (player and slot) for the Giants was Zo Carter. This feels a lot like that. It's just a player/team/value matchup that seems to make sense for the Giants.

 

If we remember. I can almost assure you, my head is so full of clutter that if no one reminds me, I certainly won't bring it up.

But on the plays when he's off, I certainly see those Nixon criticisms. He's not a finished product by any means. I just happen to see a lot of upside.

 

You know anything about NU-X amps? I was at a shop a couple hours from home last weekend and was checking one out.

They also had a used Schecter in there that I had to talk myself out of buying. I was really impressed with it, but the price tag...

 

Wow... thats some seriously cool looking stuff... they have a whole line of different, state of the art stuff.

Im out of the loop as far as 'new' technology and have never heard of them till now, thanks for the info, this is worth looking into. I went to their web-site and my jaw dropped, really nice hardware. Ive been wondering what to do with my last stimulus check, lol. To hell with the bills and rent... im going shopping!

 

Here’s one from the gelato boys

 

LoL. I'm trying to listen to it, but I've got Peppa Pig playing in my left ear, my daughter talking continuously in my right, the song clouding my mids....I'm losing it over here.

 

Dolphins checking in

 

Steelers are lingering around

 

Not too long now. You can jump him at 3:00 if he hasn't shown

 

He emailed me back that he’s on his way about 10 minutes ago.

 

Even better

 

The Raiders will draft Wyatt Davis and Trey Smith.

 

@YoungHawk03 is OTC

 

What model were you looking at? The AC-50 or one of the small portable jobs?

An interesting alternative in this age of technology is to go with a flat, clean amp and use an amp simulator (software package or even an app) to make it emulate whatever amp you like, along with cabinet, stomp effects and rack effects. The emulations are getting scary with their authenticity.

 

All of what you mentioned is kind of what caught my eye with this series of amp. Once you have the app on your phone the need for any kind of additional equipment is pretty much eliminated.

I think this was the exact model we were checking out - https://www.nuxefx.com/mighty-40-bt.html

 

That looks like a nice amp Tim. I wasn’t sure what kind of amp you were looking at until I checked out the link you had. Digital sound sure makes most of the new equipment pretty much sound good.

I have a nice stereo amp I bought in 86 for 450 bucks brand new. Carver M-1.5 . 350 watts per channel. Back in the day it was way above all the other amps that they sold at the PX. They sold a lot of very good stereo equipment back then. I used to blast out the another brick in the wall over my Bose 901s at full volume and you would swear that a helicopter was landing on the roof of your house.

 

I texted Joe to see if he would DM @YoungHawk03 despite JD's requests, lol

 

Love Trey, such a hardworker and good dude. Gonna be a great G with some RT potential as well
