Agree but just don't know what's going on in his head.

Yeah, financially he’s way better off declaring.

Fernando is going to declare - if he stays another year, he would eff up his little brother's opportunity.

Indiana’s not waiting for Mendoza to officially declare, they can already read the writing on the wall—They are actively recruiting his replacement..

No doubt in my mind that Mendoza enters the draft. No doubt in my mind we select him.

Now everyone settle down and don't get banned over petty shit and you do you whether you want us to win or lose

His agent should call the Raiders & say he’s staying in school if you hire Flores.

What? Don’t we avoid alternating first and second picks every other round with a loss to KC?

we do, but my level of caring while there is not as big, we get our guy and the other rounds decrease in mattering as we move through the draft

Yeah it would be nice to beat KC to a degree anyway. I keep reading and remembering though, how valuable a first pick in the second round can be, trade down-wise. At least I can watch this one stress free. That’s a treat in this household.

Why would that be, aren't there only two other teams with 3 wins?

I would expect we'd have no worse than the 3rd pick in any given round

Edit: I forgot about the Cardinals!

Jets and Titans will end with 3 and the Cardinals may too.

There would be 4 3-14 teams if we win.
