Mac Jones is only the best backup quarterback prospect in the 2021 draft

Mac Jones is the best backup quarterback in this draft at the next level. He projects to be a top-tier, long-term backup.

While Mac Jones started for several seasons, he was eventually benched and traded to be a backup for the Jaguars, partially validating the 'long-term backup' ceiling.

This is officially the end for Jimmy Garoppolo on the 49ers

This is the end for Jimmy Garoppolo, I think we all can agree. We always joke about the vote of confidence that a coach will get, and that usually means the end... [John Lynch] said he has been a pro... That is such a bare minimum thing to compliment a guy.

The 49ers drafted Trey Lance third overall in 2021 and Garoppolo was eventually phased out and traded.

I will give Chris Simms my spleen if Justin Fields is drafted 32nd overall or lower

I will say, I will give Chris Simms my spleen if [Justin Fields] gets picked 32nd overall or lower. Exactly 32nd or lower. If it's 32nd or lower, Chris, my spleen is yours. It's probably in pretty poor condition.

Justin Fields was drafted 11th overall by the Chicago Bears, well before the 32nd pick.

The Patriots 'smoke' regarding trading up for a quarterback in the first round is for nothing

I feel like when it comes to the draft, there's always smoke. There's always, always, always like, 'this might happen, this might happen,' and then usually nothing crazy that happens. I feel like they're not going to do it.

The Patriots stayed at 15 and drafted Mac Jones without trading up.

Garrett Bolles should catch a pass before he retires

I want to be able to bet on Garrett Bolles to have one reception in every game. Because I feel like Sean Payton is going to try to get him that touch. He definitely will because he doesn't want him to retire as the guy who never touched the ball.

It requires Garrett Bolles to record a touch before the end of his career; that has not been resolved here.

The Eagles' offense might be better without A.J. Brown

I actually think that the offense might be better without A.J. Brown.

Whether Philadelphia's offense performs better without A.J. Brown is a season-level comparative claim and is not reliably resolved here.

The Chargers should eliminate their kicking game and go for it every time

The Chargers should just not have a punter. They should not have a kicker. They shouldn't even have like a long snapper on the team. Use those positions on somebody else and you're just—burn the boats. You're just going for it all the time. Fuck it. Who cares? Right? Season's over. Might as well try to score some points.

This is a deliberately satirical roster-building proposal, not a prediction that can be objectively graded.
