Jan. 5th: The Day of The Winnowing

I guess by now you’ve heard the news about Morris, Stefanski, Carroll, Gannon, Kafka and McCoy. I think on Thursday, after more has cleared we’ll do a rundown of how other fellas managed to keep their employment going.

For now let’s do examine the draft order (just the top 8) and the advantages and disadvantages a wet-behind-the-ears rookie faces.

1. Raiders:

Advantage: The Vegas is your oyster and because you’re a QB you’ll get at least two years to develop.

Disadvantage: Does anyone in their bologna salad-loving mind think that Tom Brady is a competent team-builder at this point?

2. Jets:

Advantage: If you can make it here, under these circumstances, you’re likely a minor deity of some sort.

Disadvantage: Like any MAGA-ite, Woody will drop you to his level and there’s no coming back.

3. Cards:

Advantage: There’s a bit of talent on the O side and Kyler will likely be in the rear view mirror. (I mean, could you imagine him as a mentor?)

Disadvantage: Every level of this organization is incompetent and that’s nearly impossible to overcome.

4. Titans:

Advantage: Bits and pieces of talent are there and a QB with a year under his belt could make a considerable leap.

Disadvantage: Leadership at the owner level leaves a lot to be desired.

5. Giants:

Advantage: Ownership, while misguided, tends to be patient unless the coach has a meltdown.

Disadvantage: The press here is harder than pretty much anywhere else.

6. Browns:

Advantage: Cheap flights elsewhere?

Disadvantage: Really tough division to get a foothold in.

7. Commies:

Advantage: 2025 seemed like a one-year blip-everything is in place for a bounceback season in a weak and weakening division.

Disadvantage: The Stink of Snyder could be a legit thing.

8. Chiefs:

Advantage: Far less pressure to succeed in a well-run organization with quality coaching-you’ll find your way.

Disadvantage: You must get to the buffet table within the first ten minutes or it’s just scraps.
