Mina wins the first 5, but I think Mike's pick of the Bucs at 12 was absolutely the steal of the draft. Pretty much a lock for double digit win (11 is probably the floor) and an easy division win.

Sometimes, someone plays really well against the backups and they try playing him against the starters. Like, I don't know, Russell Wilson and Victor Cruz

The Cursed to be Born in Western New York bundle is so very sad... especially when you are old enough to remember all four losses. Buffalo Bills (85!) Buffalo Sabres Cleveland Cavaliers I find it endlessly amusing that being a fan of this team somehow REDUCES my misery score Cleveland Guardians

Excuse me, 2022 Chiefs and 2022 Eagles
gruelly.bsky.social (@gruelly.bsky.social) reply parent
I gotta ask, is the posted link the final article.. because it is pretty full of errors. Like in the 2023 Chiefs write up you talk about how the 2023 Eagles team missed the list. The problem? Literally the previous entry was the 2023 Eagles.
gruelly.bsky.social (@gruelly.bsky.social) reply parent
This 2020 top five draft pick used his two elite receivers to lead the NFL in passing yardage behind a bad offensive line and drag the 24th ranked scoring defense to a winning record. No, not Burrow, that would be 2023 Tua
gruelly.bsky.social (@gruelly.bsky.social) reply parent
He's been first team all-pro for the last two seasons. Mahomes, and only Mahomes, has anything approaching an argument to be ranked ahead of him. Whoever has him ranked sixth is the sort of logic that keeps bad teams bad forever, since these are executives.

Looking at Jayden Daniels having a lowest ranking of 10, it means that the lowest ranking is from one of the rankers this year.

Terron Armstead basically says his game against Verse was the point he knew he was done. He didn't have the energy left to deal with his power rush
gruelly.bsky.social (@gruelly.bsky.social) reply parent
Yea, the offense totally is perfect for TEs to be getting open and numbers. That's why every other TE in Miami got less than 370 receiving yards on the season since Tua got there. Or since Tyreek and McDaniel got there, whichever you prefer.
gruelly.bsky.social (@gruelly.bsky.social) reply parent
It honestly feels like the Dolphins hate Tua as much as the random posters on the internet do sometimes. You found a weapon you like? Sorry, shipped him off because we don't want to pay him. But we traded an actual asset for this guy who was retired last year and pretty terrible before that.
gruelly.bsky.social (@gruelly.bsky.social) reply parent

It's almost funny, since adding Canada as a single state would essentially be adding another California in terms of members of the House and to the Electoral College. Like some Republicans would get in, but it would be more left and absolutely destroy the tenuous hold on the House.
