This really is one of your better posts, Erick. I can feel the fire you've expelled warming my hands as I read it! A very well-constructed polemic.

Great stuff, Kyle. What's really interesting here is the common refrain from podcasts like Move The Sticks is that your bottom 2 on the OL are more important to your…

True. He also weighs 241 pounds which is a different weight class to even Power Slot WRs.

I haven't watched Sadiq's tape yet, but the Underdog Fantasy guys argued that you should watch the Slot WRs in this class, and then Sadiq, and then decide who you…

Nice work Erick! I think if the Chargers took TJ Parker with Peter Woods sitting there, I'd go offline for a few days and pour myself a double neat whiskey.…

I don't have any issue with Bosa in-principle. But the present composition of the room now lacks a rusher with either speed or bend, since Oweh left. Tuli and Mack…

Good comments Tau. To secure AJ Brown, I would expect it would take QJ + a first round pick + something else maybe. Same for Carter (if not more). I…

Thanks Tau. I read this list when you first wrote it. I'm happy that we let Oweh walk at that price. But if the current offseason plan had otherwise been…
