I wish I could put into words how special the Wilf family is. I lost all my Viking Game Balls during Hurricane Ian. To my surprise, I received a box today replacing all those game balls. I was truly blessed to work for the Wilf family and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Quick thoughts from DET/NYG practice today. Montgomery/Gibbs is an upgrade over Williams/ Swift RB combo for DET. Aidan Hutchinson was unblockabe will have double digit sacks. Thibodeaux just blended in. Not near the effort Hutchinson practices with.
DET will have 4 rookies, Gibbs Campbell, Laporta and Branch play significant roles this year. All stuck out at practice today. Detroit’s defense looks more athletic in the secondary with the free agent additions of Gardner-Johnson and Cam Sutton.
Overall Drake Maye had a very good pro day. Settled down after a few errant throws early outside the numbers but was very impressive with his deep ball accuracy. It will be a tough call on who comes off the board after Caleb Williams.
Poor Pete has no idea how important these pro days are. If Pete doesn’t care about Pro Days why is he watching them on TV. Pete doesn’t understand the draft process. He needs to evolve and PLEASE Learn The Game.
Just like Stroud, Bryce Young looked great against the pressure and blitzes he faced today. Really adjusted to the speed of the DBS he faced. These pro days are useless.
Jayden Daniels threw the ball extremely well although he missed a few deep shots. Malik Nabers put on a show. Don’t be surprised if he is the first WR off the board ahead of Marvin Harrison Jr

Excellent length athletic DE. He show speed for his size. Can play the run but needs to get off blocks quicker at times. Best pass rush move is speed to power using long arm to walk OT into QB. Needs tech work in both phases but huge upside.
CJ Stroud answered the bell tonight and made his case why he should be the
#1
QB in this years class. Great day for college football. Who are you taking if you need a QB Stroud or Young?
Update from today’s joint practices between DET/ NYG. The Giants looked better today. Their defense was feisty. Thibodeaux made a great play stripping St Brown then recovering the fumble. D Jones had a better day throwing the ball. Shepard looked healthy and made some plays.
For the '23 draft, we have many options. With the
#4
pick, we could stay put and take a QB—-or trade up and take a QB—-OR trade down and MAYBE take a QB—-Or NOT🙂
All options on the table, but we like our position and are very excited. Fire up! 🏈
There is no question that this offense goes through Barkley and Waller. Barkley looked explosive and in great shape after going through his off season drama. Two gritty teams got great work this week and made each other better
QB rankings after Pro Days this week.

Even before Braden Fiske ran a 4.78 40 and busted out the 33.5-inch vertical, I had already moved into the first round solely for cracking jokes at Hawkeye

's expense.
RB Gibbs reminds me of Dalvin Cook but he is on the smaller side. Great vision, speed and plays bigger than his size. He is one of the top RBs in the country and may push the Texas RB as the top back through the pre draft process
I co-hosted Sirius XM NFL radio show with Bruce Murray last Thursday. We interviewed Daiyan Henley. He is a very good football player and even better interview and person. Good luck in the draft!

's face when Rick explains how his brother, uh, interrupted his pro-day workout at Ohio State back in the mid-'80s. Wait, what!?
Attending Ohio St Pro Day. Dawand Jones refused to weigh in. His own choice. I will be at Alabama tomorrow and Kentucky on Friday. Headed to Gainesville next week
Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Dave Canales is an impressive young coach. He is so upbeat and players really like he new system. But like I told some Bucs personnel, he is almost too upbeat at times. Maybe it’s just me being a crusty dude.
Great job by Wink Martindale and the Giants defense not letting Rodgers and the Green Bay offense score a single point in the 2nd half. NYG offense controlled the clock and won the Time of Possession which was a key to winning this game.
I had to filibuster about LB Herbig until our leader of the podcast let his puppy out to go to the bathroom. This is the 2nd time he left during the show. $1 fine
My winners and losers before tonight’s game. Do you agree?
Winners: Atlanta Falcons a top the NFC South, Dak Prescott looking like Dak again, AJ Brown is the best WR in the NFL right now.
The Ohio State pro day is a wrap and

Full breakdown on what we saw at Ohio St’s Pro Day. CJ Stroud continues to ascend through the Pre Draft Process as Carolina’s potential
#1
pick. Bryce Young gets his opportunity tomorrow to state his case.
