NFL Buy or Sell? "Mid" Teams Edition with Carmen Vitali 

You guys didn't talk about the Bears long enough.

how does a show about the mid-tier teams not include the most mid franchise of all, the Atlanta Falcons!?!?

I'm glad Robert kept the stache.

Been waiting for the Seahawks take. Pretty disappointing to have it as 10 minutes at the end of the show. We’ve heard plenty about some of these teams (bears!) all offseason. It’s lazy to say ‘Seattle didn’t do much so there isn’t much to say’

I think you spelled her name wrong in the description.

You've got to get @thatfranchiseguy on the show at some point

Are we talking about Isaac Yiadom who was playing for the Saints one and a half seasons? If Kool-Aid McKinstry or any other DB on the roster is not better than him next season I'd be shocked. 😅 That being said - I'm not sold on DC either. But he's DAs guy - so I guess the Saints were ready to stick with him when they stuck with DA. The second best they could do is get a new OC. And they did. - Anyhow, the NFC sucks all across the board so who cares if they didn't improve. Neither did any other team in the NFC. 😅😅😅

Sometimes shows are insightful sometimes just entertaining…😅😂

Disagree on most of the points made against the Colts offseason. CB need was overblown. Latu adds upside to a solid and deep pass rush. The AD Mitchell slander continues, rooting hard for him to prove all of the doubters wrong.

the saints are the definition of mid. And they have been ever since their super bowl win 14 years ago.

Also - need Nate back

Wow… she really didn’t love the Colts huh. Her voice was in stark contrast to just about every single analyst I’ve heard. The constant repeating on Latu about injuries is disingenuous at best. He is quite a way from any injury. We don’t go back years to a singular injury and try to paint someone like that. Bold

Yikes. Athletic is a premium pay site but is just bleeding talent. The bears takes are especially not paysite worthy here. This is talking in a circle just to fill airspace. What is Waldron's track record? They spent multiple 2nd round picks in back to back years for RBs, they spent a 1st to get him a WR, they spent up on QB to keep Geno, they paid up for DK and to keep Lockett. They spent multiple high picks on OL. This is the same situation and he did very, very, little with constant replenishment of weapons.

Carmen has definitely done her homework across the NFL, but I kind of have a tough time listening to her speech pattern and I think some of her points ultimately are highly simplified - Colts didn't draft a corner, Raiders don't have a QB, etc. On the Raiders specifically - and I'm not in any way a fan or am sure they went about this offseason the right way, but let's look at some of things brought up: - The top-6 QBs were selected before they even got on the board. They did try to trade up, but I personally would rather them miss out on what I believe was an overrated second tier of guys. I do think they should've taken a shot on a Spencer Rattler, Michael Pratt, etc. on day three - Jackson Powers-Johnson's biggest issue wasn't footwork, although he is still refining his technique in some areas as a one-year starter, but rather consistent snap placement. He has the measurements for a guard, the ability to anchor in isolated situations vs. interior rushers and you love what he could bring as a movement blocker - And every team plays with 5+ DB on the field for majority of snaps. I would've liked them to address outside corner earlier as well, but what are we suggesting? - That they shouldn't use packages with their best cover-guy Nate Hobbs on the field? At least with drafting Tommy Eichenberg on day three, the have the flexibility to use Divine Deablo as a big nickel potentially, along with Trey Taylor in round seven as a versatile piece in the secondary. And Decamerion Richardson to me can be a starter outside, who they got early in the fourth round.

Now I don't know how to spell her last name. Thanks The Athletic.

The Bears are striving to be mid. At best.

I do hate the take that the Bears "Ruin" QBs. Justin and Mitch are just bad. They were always going to be bad.. They will always be bad

Haters gonna Hate Hate Hate!!!!!

Love the show, big fan of you guys. Rob, you dominated the discussion man. Her opinions felt insignificant compared to yours
