Mr.TaterSalad

I did a mock and really tried to address our needs at CB, LB, interior DL, and RB.

Well that's it, now I'm all aboard the Richardson express. Seriously though, that was a nice uncontested deep ball.

Agreed with both what MB and Cardinal said about my original question regarding Levi. I don't think having Levi on the roster or IR prevents us from drafting another interior DL high in the draft. If we don't get Jalen Carter in the 1st I'd love to see Mazi Smith be available to us in the 2nd. Mazi would be just the run stuffer we need up the middle.

RIP David Crosby. Teach your children well and rest easy!

Do we expect anything out of Levi for next year or are we chalking that up to a draft bust and allowing ourselves to potentially replace him in the draft? Also, from an edge perspective, what are we expecting out of Josh Paschal?

Today was a great day of football with some really fun games to watch. There were close, tight games with an upset mixed in. Fun day to be a football fan

Under a minute left and Baltimore is huddling up and wasting time off the clock. Then they call a running play after that with 29 seconds left. That's poor clock management and play calling by Harbaugh and co.

The guy proves he just can't get it done under the lights.

As happy as I've been with Dan Campbell at season's end, is Brian Daboll the Coach of the Year? Seems he should be now.

What a shit call there on the roughing the passer. If there's a sport that needs robotic officiating it ain't baseball, it's NFL football. Extending the game for the Vikings there.

I'd punt it and pin them deep and trust my defense I were the Giants.

What a real bummer we aren't in the playoffs. Two teams we beat this season and could have beaten again today.

The Giants might not end up winning, but they are proving they aren't fugazzi.

Not sure why Kevin O'Connell doesn't kick the field goal here and tie it? Edit, the penalty forced the field goal. Minnesota can't put the Giants away though.

If Stroud doesn't declare that really shakes up the top 5-10 of the draft I think.

Harbaugh has the California ties, but Payton would be a great choice as well. He'd fit right in with a great young QB like Herbert and guys like Eckler and Williams around him.

Welp, if Harbaugh wants to go to the Chargers that job should be open. What a collapse by the Chargers having blown a 27 point lead against the Jaguars. I think Staley is probably out of a job after this.

Michigan has one of the wealthiest donor bases in the country and can't beat out a glorified community college in Columbus for NIL money? If a donor base consisting primarily of people who ask you about whether or not you want fries can muster up $12 million in NIL money certainly a base with Michigan's money can match or do better. Maybe Warde hasn't done enough to coordinate donations, maybe donors aren't willing (or used to as you mentioned) give towards this kind of an NIL slush fund, maybe it's both. I'm not nearly connected enough to know the answer on that.

It seems like Harbaugh's people are putting their side of the story out there now and blaming a lot/all this Harbaugh leaving chaos on Warde Manuel.

I wished you would have drafted Schoonmaker higher and I would have liked this draft better. I think he needed to be a round or two higher. In all seriousness, you have to admit that you'd be pretty disappointed if they actually spent a first round pick on Michael Mayer or any TE given all their needs defensively.

Poor TCU. I have sympathy for them now. This is really something.

LOL 51-7. Is there a mercy rule in CFB?

I don't know that Michigan would be playing much better, but TCU is getting torched. Sad we can't even get a decent game.

I think Anzalone gets replaced in the draft and Eliot get replaced by the emergence of Kirby Joseph and a returning Tracy Walker. I think they should bring back all of Williams, Cominsky, and Buggs. Chark is the only one I am not sure of. He's going to want a multi-year deal and I'm not about to get in a bidding war for a #3 WR when we have Josh Reynolds on this team and the ability to spend a 3rd/4th round pick on getting a replacement. If Chark want to get #2 WR money and be someone else's legit, starting #2, then I probably let him walk at that point. We could get by just fine on a WR room that is St. Brown/Williams/Reynolds/Raymond/Rookie addition IMO.

How do we get out of neutral at this point? With the Vrana situation turning into a disaster and it looking more likely that we'll get nothing out of him this season, who are the guys we expect to help get us in gear at this point? Are we even capable of being better than a .500 team with this roster? I think I got ahead of myself, setting expectations too high, thinking we'd for sure be in the playoff hunt all year.
