Well, he is going to get paid millions, but actually, Reuben is not in the greatest position right now compared to where we thought he'd be. Taxes in CA are going to be murder, and San Francisco is unbelievably expensive. It's a shame to hear he didn't take good advice on an agent because he doesn't strike me as a very savvy businessman. I hope he makes good decisions.

Well, I don`t know any of these people personally, but if it`s was me, and if he was willing, I`d stay in very close contact with the main guy who gave me the guidance and chance to be a multi-millionaire in the first place.

I guess with my last post in mind, I'm gonna thumb through and point out some of the draft hauls I like:

Titans - Corey Davis, Adoree Jackson, and Teywan Taylor were their first three picks. I was really high on Davis and Taylor as Group of Five WRs and Tennessee got both of them. Tennessee also needs help in the secondary and Jackson is a high-ceiling type steal in the 2nd round. He's not super polished as a cover corner but you can't teach speed and he has it in spades. Jackson is basically Pacman Jones without a criminal record and with more "high-character." At worse, he's a longterm NFL returner. At best, he's a pro-bowl quality corner/returner.

Bucs - Tampa is attempting to surround Jameis with a veritable buffet of targets. OJ Howard and Chris Godwin give him two more big bodies who can stretch the field vertically along with Mike Evans. They added Desean Jackson in free agency who is still a burner in his late stages. Beckwith in the 3rd round was a great grab. Guy was a tackling machine in Baton Rogue...with McCoy in the middle, he should have some free range.

Texans - They drafted Watson, Zach Cunningham, and D'Onta Foreman with their first three picks. I think they got three good starters and a potential star in Watson. Foreman had a big year for a bad Texas team. Don't sleep on him.

Bengals - This team doesn't get too wrapped up with Goodell's long arm of the law or ESPN's constant moral panic. They drafted another problem player and will likely be rewarded for it. I think Ross and Mixon are likely starters while Willis and Lawson could end up helping their pass rush.

The Titans picked Adoree Jackson with the #18 pick of the first round. That's why I don't like that pick. OJ Howard, Reuben Foster, Evan Engram and several other elite players were still available. #18 overall is a high pick for a player whose biggest contribution will probably be special teams. I also thought the Titans should've went with Jamal Adams or Mike Williams with the first pick. The fact they could've had Adams and Howard but ended up with Davis and Jackson is pretty disappointing as a Titans fan..

Coach loves his players, but I don't see him doing their financial planning.

Sorry, catching up on this a little. Chad Kelly has all the physical tools to be an NFL QB. But he is never going to be an NFL starter. Sure he could be the exception to the rule but people with his off the field issues very rarely work out at the QB position in the NFL.

Colin Cowherd is an idiot. Only guy I dislike more is Clay Travis and I don't know if even he would be as irresponsible as Cowherd was here.

Good draft for Bama. Some player fell but others went higher than I expected. Michigan may have had 11 players drafted but I would love to be able to compare our avg draft position to theirs.

That won't happen again for years. Kirby's bringing in the talent.

Yep, yep. We had NO draft picks in the 2008 Draft (following the 2007 season). Turns out guys tend to get fired at this level of football when the talent pool has run dry. UGA's situation is a bit different because they had some tailbacks that would've gotten drafted this year but they decided to come back.

Do you think Cowherd ever goes home and looks in the mirror and feels even an ounce of shame for being such a horse's behind?

No, like so many others he rationalizes every word that he says and then whistles all the way to the bank.

Yup. These kind of guys are all about self promotion. They just want to be loud enough and ridiculous enough to get attention. I know I said this earlier but the only guy worse than Cowherd to me is Clay Travis. The two of them are classless and tactless.
 
Clay Travis has spent the last few days using his draft coverage to make fun of that player with the picture of his grandmother.

Yea I saw that. Takk went after him for it too. The problem is that is just going to feed into what Clay does.
 
Clay Travis makes me feel sociopathic because at times I feel like I'd laugh if something terrible happened to him. He's a sorry piece of trash human being.
