Thanks Vet, sucks when you do your homework and your pick scratches. Was zeroing in on the 5 horse in race 1 and opened up my HPI account to see him out.

Shedeur Sanders added to Argos of the CFL negotiations list. 

— In the NFL, 29-year old WR Hunter Renfrow signed with the Carolina Panthers; he sat out last year, after catching 269 passes (10.7 yards/catch) in five years with the Raiders.

— Jacksonville Jaguars signed DE Emmanuel Ogbah for one year, $5M, which figures to help the Jaguars’ pass rush. Ogbah played the last five years for the Dolphins.

— District of Columbia and the Washington Commanders struck a deal to build a stadium and play where their old stadium, RFK Stadium — the team’s home from 1961-1996 — still stands. Seems NFL has a story to tell 24/7...365

 One thing we don’t get to see, but it is important; as the draft ends, and it is only seven rounds, teams sign undrafted free agents to try out for their teams— lot of good players do not get picked.

Sometimes, it is better for a player not to get drafted; that way, he can choose which team he tries out for, and can choose a team that might need a player like him. Armadillo Sports

ALL RIGHT  ALL RIGHT ALL RIGHT, draft is over and grades have been handed out. A lot of O LINE and D LINE selections which will be good for the game. Any thoughts going forward on your team or someone else's team would be appreciated. "As it is written so it shall be". 

2025 NFL schedule release will be Wednesday, May 14; this is a fun night to be in a casino, to see gamblers scurrying to the windows when the opening lines get posted. Found one more nugget.

— Tennessee Titans took Miami QB Cam Ward with the #1 pick; Giants later traded up to the 25th pick and took Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart; they were the only two QB’s drafted.

Cam Ward started 57 college games, albeit at three different schools; Dart played for former NFL head coach Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss.

— Giants traded a 2nd-round pick and two third round picks to Denver to draft Dart, who started for three years at Ole Miss, and threw for 4,279 yards, 29 TD’s for a 10-3 Ole Miss squad that won its bowl game 52-20 over Duke. From Armadillo Sports page. Off to the Marina boys as at 11am sailboat will be lowered into the water. Always a great day rain or shine! 

Quote of the Day 
“I ranked (Jaxson) Dart 28th, which means the value was right in line at #25. He has the arm to drive the ball in the New York weather. He can make plays with his legs. So the pick itself is solid. But trading three Day 2 picks over the next two years to get back into the first round for him, and passing on Sanders — who, again, is #5 overall on my board — makes it less appealing.”

 Read somewhere that Sanders playing only one sport since the age of 10 has the football minds leery. The good/great ones were multi-sport athletes as in Brady, Patrick and Elway to name a few.

 Will SAC be happy with the pic? Read he likes to relax by fishing so maybe.

I agree and I will start it but far from the skills needed to be a leader. Took me 10 years to understand why ball-busting was an American thing that will never change, Like a right of passage or close to it. Raised by a very Stoic Dad and picked up all the traits. Covers opened my eyes to it and was always and I mean always taught to help a man up and never condescend. Anyway will put a new start to 2025 . Gonna need a lot of help.  

Only play so far in the draft is AMOS going in the 1st round @ 1.75....... the board has been interesting to watch change on rumor and noise. Mykil Williams as 1st Defensive End/Edge taken and Jeanty in the 4 hole are 2 I have been tracking. 

The Bears will also face three opponents that finished in the same place in the standings in the NFC South (Saints), NFC West (49ers) and AFC West (Raiders). So can you find 9 wins?
