2026 Draft: RT

[One-If-By-Sea]

Mentality, dude. Not everything is about length.

Southside Johnny once sang (covered of a Swallows song), It Ain't the Meat Its the Motion. And I learned that technique, skill, and effort are more important than the raw tools, size, or the inherent quality of something.

Length always helps. Can't get around simple facts.

You keep tripping over it, though.

That is where leather straps play a dual purpose.

Yup, those Europeans are definitely kinksters and love their soccer. You are always right.

This thread needs to be whipped into shape...can't have all these weird post swinging around.

I think you mean the mock draft thread.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

This thread took a weird turn.

Draft stuff is grueling, intense analysis with a lot of options that can scramble the mind. From time to time we need to blow off steam to recalibrate. I think we are all set now.

My captain, my captain, do you have a new list or tweet for us?

Max Iheanachor Senior bowl highlights.

If we draft him and he becomes the real deal, can I propose the nickname Ihean-Anchor.

Edit: I should say that I don’t think his anchor is all that strong now but in anticipation.

Ihean-amor!

 

[manxman2601]

Ihean-amor!

You can have 'amor' so long as I can keep 'ador' for Mesi.

Ador + Amor + Stukes + Louis = perfect draft.

Wish I knew how to make it happen.
