Kenny Stills, who was brought over from Miami in the Laremy Tunsil trade, was released by the Texans today.

Only thing left is for them to cut Tunsil.

I hope that everyone is having a happy Thanksgiving today. 

This week starts out with today's slate of games. I think that the most interesting one will be the Cowboys/Washington Football Team one. It would have been the Steelers/Ravens game IMO but that was cancelled due to the Ravens having multiple positive cases. I think that would have been a good primetime game to end the day with. But now it's been moved to like 1:15 Sunday on ESPN. Steelers players and fans are upset and I can understand why. They had their bye week taken away from them because of the Titans having a lot of COVID cases and now their mini-bye has been taken from them due to another team having the same thing. Fortunately for them, they are 10-0 and I think they will continue to play well. Though, I can understand their frustation.


I wonder who will win today between the Cowboys/Washington. Alex Smith won last week and so did the Cowboys. Both teams are in that terrible division and a win today could definitely help them be a step closer to winning it.

The Lions/Texans also play today. I wonder who will win that game as well. Though, I think that may end up being the least interesting game of the day.

Maybe I am wrong but I think Bullseye is in a weird time zone like me, so I understand the late posts, but this must roll. I will avenge last weeks 2-2 performance and come back. On cellphone so limited analysis:

Texans vs Lions - Texans are looking much more like the team we expected this season last week. Maybe BOB was the source of all issues. On the other hand the lions don’t impress me (sorry D6) I am going tinhorns.

Indy at Tacks: the rematch, I think the tacks were the better team last time but their punter gave away the game. I don’t see that happening again, so I am going tacks.

Jags at Cleveland: old factory of sadness meets new. Lol. I know who our starting QB is, but I can’t remember his name right now, oh wait it’s glennon. Anyhow, jags gonna lose. Not picking them again till they win two in a row(I.e. maybe next year?). Cleveland continues its March towards a first round loss.

Just heard Browns closed their facility.  Was on ESPN.

Here it is... Doug doing something he should’ve done long ago. He’s probably not allowed to fire Wash because Shad is trying to cut costs and he doesn’t want to anyway because they’re bologna buddies. However, having someone else call plays sets up Wash being demoted the rest of the year. The new play caller doesn’t have a high threshold to meet to keep Wash sidelined.

Glennon has been designated as the starter against the Browns this Sunday.

Thoughts...

People have always been divided on either side of the debate between selecting BAP or a need when drafting. But let me pose a scenario because I want to see how you would proceed using these hypotheticals and the upcoming draft class.

Lets say the following players have the following arbitrary grades (for this example) associated with them coming out:

- Lawrence, QB, 9.9/10
- Sewell, OT, 9.5/10
- Fields, QB, 9.2/10
----------------------------------------------
- Z. Wilson, QB, 8.5/10
- T. Lance, QB, 8.2/10
- K. Trask, QB, 8/10
- M. Jones, QB, 7.8/10
----------------------------------------------
- S. Cosmi, OT, 8.8/10
- L. Eichenberg, OT, 8.6/10
- R. Slater, OT, 8.4/10
- A. Leatherwood, OT, 8.3/10
- J. Mayfield, OT, 8.2/10
- J. Carman, OT, 7.9/10


I have skipped certain positions in this scenario just focused on the OT and QB debate especially at the top of this draft. The Jets claim the first pick and go with Lawrence. Would you select Sewell and then possibly hope for one of the second-tier QBs like Trask/Jones at our mid 20s pick - with a real possibility that Wilson, Lance, and/or Trask might be gone? Or would you select Fields at 3 and then go with an OT (not considering other positions in this scenario)?

I have always believed that it's a mix between BAP and need with each position having a certain weight that it carries. For me personally, I would take Fields over Sewell even if he is graded slightly lower than Sewell because of the impact that QB position has. I'm not diminishing what an OT/LT can bring, obviously it is a premium position like QB but I feel like we could maximize value and production going this way.

There are multiple ways to approach the NFL draft and it's not as simple as going only BAP or needs-based. And that's why I love the predictive analysis with what teams would do with how many picks they have, which prospects are available, and more.

Again, obviously these grades are arbitrary and only created for this scenario, but what are your thoughts?

I'm in an optimistic / thankful mood because I am assuming we will finally move on from Caldwell and Morrone.  I am of the mindset that you hire the GM first, and let him pick the coach.  That relationship is so important and I think it should be authentically created by GM and HC in their own interview processes, rather than the Khan just picking 2 guys and telling them they need to work together.  I saw Atlanta has 4 names on their list they already want to interview:

Rick Smith (former Texans GM)

Reggie McKenzie (former Raiders GM)

Champ Kelly (current Bears asst. director of personnel; former Denver personnel guy during their recent Super Bowls)

Brad Holmes (current longtime Rams director of college scouting)

Any names on this list standing out to anyone for us?  Who do you like?
