Well this is good news (even though the Ragone thing is still a mystery)

 

Yes, thats the curious part for me. DeFlippio goes from OC (and hc candidate) down two rungs to QB coach. Im not sure why he’s doing it, and Ragone should be dumped imo.

My pea brain explanation is Ragone must design schemes well but either sucks at coaching the schemes or coaching up the QB traits, like footwork or whatever.

 

DeFilippos is surprising. Has Philly hired a new OC yet? That seemed like a natural connection before.

i guess if Nagy is still calling plays, having the weaker coaches at OC and passing coord, and getting a better coach where they need the most help (QB) makes some sense.

 

thats all I got

I love Flip as a coach. Some mixed results the last few years. Got rave reviews for his work with Wentz, including his near MVP season before he got hurt. Foles was SB MVP with him as Eagles QB coach. Went to the Vikings and got fired before the end of a year because Kirk Cousins was trash. Cousins has since played better without him, with fewer valleys. Foles got injured Week 1, but then got benched when he came back so Flip couldn't rekindle that magic. But he did get a decent year out of a 6th round rookie, Gardner Minshew. Mixed results in 1 season as Browns OC. Raiders QB coach with Jamarcus Russell, who famously gave his QB a blank DVD and told him to watch the plays on it to see which ones he liked, to which Russell got caught lying that he watched it.

 

Mitch is getting all the help he can ever want to succeed. New run game coordinator and OL coach to try to improve that area. New OC who is a former QB coach. New QB coach, who has called played. Keeps Ragone, who was the QB coach. And a head coach who is a former QB coach. My only concern is a "too many cooks in the kitchen" situation. These guys have all worked with each other, though not all together at the same time.

Too many cooks would be a concern if Mitch was a rookie. He’s had his chance and needs to answer to the damn sous chef of thats who they bring in.

Three years in and his chiffonade is still sloppy. He frequently burns toast. But occasionally makes a perfect over medium egg.

Jimbo Covert and Ed Sprinkle become the 29th and league leading, 30th Hall of Famers from the Chicago Bears.

 

Long overdue for Covert. I think you could make a case for Jay Hilgenberg too (if he isn't already in).

a day late seeing this, but man look at my guy Cutty out there slinging it and running for TDs a week before being labeled weak because he didn't look like he wanted to come back in with a blown up knee.

I had to do a double-take there and confirm this is indeed former IU quarterback Tre Roberson. Interesting. I didn't realize he even still played football.

Yep. Transferred from IU to Illinois St, where he took them to the FCS championship (lost to Carson Wentz, FWIW). Moved to CB for the NFL, got a tryout with the Vikings, and subsequently signed to the practice squad. I seem to remember him having a good preseason in 2017, but he was back and forth on the practice squad for a year + before going to Canada. 10 INTs in 2 years. Looks like a good tackler with decent ball skills. I've kinda lowkey followed his career because of his start at IU.

Wonder if they will indeed cut Amukamara and just "2019 kicker comp" the 2nd CB spot. Toliver, Roberson, Shelley, Joseph, Simmons, Crawford, Denmark.

 

I think that's pretty much a given. Amukamura's contract off the books is one that can help them make improvements elsewhere. I think he's pretty much done at this point anyway. I would also assume they will be drafting a CB since they have 7 picks and could possibly pick up a few more before the draft.

It appears that the conditional pick from the Howard trade will stay a 6th:

There's also a Raiders beat writer who reported on Twitter last week that the conditional Mack pick ended up a 7th.

 

So, seems they're looking at:

Rd 2 pick 11 (from LV)

Rd 2 pick 18

Rd 4 ??? (projected Amos comp)

Rd 5 pick 18

Rd 6 pick 17

Rd 6 pick 21 (from PHI)

Rd 7 pick 12 (from LV)

Rd 7 pick 19
